More progress with the Lizardmen

Salamander Three salamander. The one with green scales and it’s herders was well painted so aside from some touchups and some matt varnish I didn’t change anything there. I repainted the other herders to match those and repainted the remaining two salamander

Saurus Battle Standard Bearer The lizardmen battle standard bearer. Due to the weight of the banner I had to modify the base to tilt it back moving its centre of gravity back toward the middle. I also had to bend a pin around where the standard meets the banner as I wasn’t convinced glue alone would hold it in place for any period of time.

Saurus Cavalry A mixture of basecoated and primed saurus cavalry. One rider is bluetacked to saurus as he is a drummer without a drum (which comes as part of the mount). Will rectify this when we make the other saurus riders up.

Skink Chieftan Blowpipe Skink Chieftan with blowpipe. A brief dalliance with the idea of green skinks. A bit like the standard bearer the centre of gravity is a bit far forward. Add lead to the base to help offset this which seems to have done the job.

Skink Shaman (Blue) Blue skink shaman as distinct from the green painted version of the same model (see below).

Skink Shaman (Green)

Skink Chieftan with Sickle Skink Chieftan with sickle and heart (one of my favourite lizardmen minis)

Skinks This represents about a third of the skinks. These are all the ones with a javelin (although some have javelins and blowpipes). Not convinced on the crests, might repaint.

Over the last few months I’ve been busy painting Martin’s lizardmen.

Slaan. Martin had done a pretty good job painting the Slaan up, however time, the miniatures many sharp edges and a lack of varnish (because the model wasn’t finished) had resulted in some of the painting being chipped off. I primed (from a pot) those patches that needed it and painted over the model.

Kroxigor. Technically painted over the top of, as they had a coat of blue over most of the figure and yello over the metal accessories. However by the time I’d tidied up the mould lines and removed and sanded the pins that were sticking out of the forearms I’d worn some of that away.

Scar Veteran. Just finished this yesterday. Base still needs finishing but since I had the camera out… This was also overpainted as an initial coat or two of the primary colours had already been applied. Painted over about three days.

Temple Guard. Aside from the Kroxigors these were the first things painted and I’ve been using these and the other saurus models to test different paints and methods in preparation for painting some of the other unpainted models. Went with different coloured shields but I’m thinking of making them more uniform as I’m not sure it works the way they are.

Saurus (with spears). Again overpainted and serving as practice miniatures for later models.

Saurus (with handweapons). Same as the spear saurus. Painted these in about a week which is lightening fast for me.
