Thank you so much! I will add my Saurus Warriors soon. Any tips for the Basty?
A few tips:
1. don't rush it and steadily work through it
2. 'A Biel-tan green' wash over the scales will make the recesses fade out a bit and give it a bit more of an even coat
3. If your up for it a small coat of 'Ard Coat' will make it shine and really pop out.
4. An agarax earthshade wash on the underbelly might work well to make it look a bit more dirty and natural.
5.I used a tiny bit of 'Kislev Flesh' On the top of the underbelly to give it a bit more of a warm hue/ this gives it some added variation and smooths the transition from the belly to the shell
6. I would recommend going over the dots with some more watered down paint to make them a tiny bit more noticeable
7. For the solar engine, I would Pick a Lizardmen faction color scheme, Itza = White and yellow, Hexoatl = Light orange and red Xlanupec = Light blue and dark blue/black. - furthermore, you could even do the symbol of the faction on one of the scales.
8. Some 'Auric Armour Gold' could work well on the solar engine to highlight some of the gold and give it variation, this could also be done with a light drybrush of ' Golden Griffon'
9. A tip for the future, I would usually paint the solar engine in two parts separate from the bastiladon so I can easily do the pattern underneath and not worry about getting flecks of paint on the bastiladon.
10. This is Probably a personal preference But I always think a light green/ vibrant strip going down the center back scales always looks quite nice and makes the model really pop, I would recommend the 'Moot green' paint - for example ( not including the 'drip' effect)
Anyhow, These are obviously suggestions and are some things I found useful when painting mine.
