Blog Welcome to Lustria Park! Zheddikus' Paint Blog.

Finished the last Flyer this morning. I plan on painting the riders later tonight sometime.

And now for a bit of a look into the next project that I also started. Mostly because I was having fun, and had an idea late last night that I was afraid if I didn't do it I would forget.

 

Nice stegadon! A bit glossy though .
And also love your terradons!

 

Yeah. Once everything is done and painted I am getting a matte finish and spraying everything down.

 

So this has been an ongoing joke at my LGS. It started when I was just beginning my journey into this hobby a few months ago. I and some of the regulars all thought we heard him say skanks instead of Skinks when telling me about them.

So I told him that I would paint the first cohort of Skinks to look as slutty as possible. And with the help of GF here are the results.

 

That is a lot of vibrant colors! Interesting and colorful army you are producing!

 

I love how varied your color choices have been. Everything is looking amazing!!!! I need to get some Terradon's after seeing yours

 

That was actually a complete coincidence. We noticed it when we were uploading the photos and are very glad others got a laugh out of this as well.

I love fielding my flyers. They do sooooo much work against my buddy's army.

I figured all of my Saurus and Skinks are all (except this one batch of Skinks) going to have the same color scheme, I figured I would use all the Dinos and Reptiles to be different. They are my eye candy and the contrast to the solidarity of the Lizardmen.

This has also lead me to trying new techniques which have allowed me to grow as a painter and try and find a style that fits me.

But most of all I am happy that you all are liking the Army!! I have 8 and a half models left to paint:
1x EotG Howdaw and Crew
1x Stegadon
1x Skink Star Priest
1x Skink Priest
1x Skink Chief
3x Terradons/Rippers
1x Slann

And after that I plan on doing a complete army photo.

 

This is a whole world of AWESOME. My wife and I just had such a good laugh.

Great job on the skanky skinks.

 

Hahaha. Thank you. I am glad that you two enjoyed it!

 

I really like your skinks colour scheme it makes a refreshing change

 

Just a small update today. Didn't get much time to paint so this is still a major WIP

 

Woo Hoo! I love it when I get more time to paint!!! I just need to get the crew done and do the dreaded triangles....


I don't yet know if I want to include and paint the bit that goes behind the frill. :/

 

One last update before I pass out for the night. This time it's something a bit different... So here is an intro for my Army on Parade.

Spoiler: A Slann Dreams of Lustria Park

The Slann, Pol'y'toad's eyes slowly close. It has been a long, drawn-out day of battling the hoardes of Chaos. He still believes in the will of the Old-Ones for he does not forget, unlike some of the others have. His Pala quin slowly comes to a halt under the shade of a familiar looking tree. Sleep. It is time to sleep. Eyelids begin to feel heavier and heavier. Sleep comes easy. The sweet nothingness of rest.

A loud roar reverberates throughout his body, starltling him awake. Next comes the guttural noise of Saurus and the squeaks of Skinks speaking. Then comes the smell of meaty delicacies of every sort. But most of all came the familiar heat, hot and humid. The sun's rays filling him with life.

His eyes slowly open and he is back. Back to his favorite place in Lustria. Back in his Temple-City. Back in the cheerful park.

Pol'y'toad had created it long ago with the help of his magic, the cunning engineering of his Skinks, and the brute force of Kroxigar. He does not know why he had the instinctual need to build the park, but it gave those who have rarely seen the majestic beasts of the forests a chance to see them outside of battle.

The park also seemed to have a strange effect on his followers. It brought out a sense of joy and excitement. It was one of the few places you could here a Saurus laugh like a mad warm blood.

He floated down the cobbled path flanked by his trusted Gaurds, past the Carnosaurs, past the Cold-ones, past the Bastiladon. He could almost make out what he knew was the aviary with the Terradons and Ripperdactyls.

He was just coming to the food and drink stations, of which have filled his nostrils the entire time with the smell of sweet meats, that are run by a certain spawning of Skinks. He felt something cold and wet run down his face. He looked up but saw nothing but clear blue skies. Drip. Drip. Drip. The dream shattered around Him.

His eyes slowly flutter open, the joy and energy flow out of him as the rain runs over his body. The smile fades back to stoic complacentness. He was back in the world of the present. Back in the endless time of war. But even through the drizzle, he could make out the shapes in the clearing before him. It was in a very familiar pattern. One from a time and a place long past. And he could feel the faintest of smiles begin to form at the corners of his mouth.

 

Your engine of the gods looks incredible and your skank skinks are hilarious! Great job on all of these!

 

Well. I figured it was time. Here he is. The great Slann Pol'y'Toad!!!

 

I really like the colours for the great slann Pol'y'Toad! Looks poisonous with those brilliant colours! Also great name!

 

Looks like he´s about to explode
