8th Ed. Painting lizardmen

[Andy140491]

Hey guys, just a quick post.

Ive painted my skinks with purple skin and green scales, which I personally has turned out awesome! I was just wondering if I should paint the saurus warriors the same colour or would that look too 'samey' on the otherhand i.dont want a.multi-coloured army

Can you post some suggestions? And maybe your own idea's

You may want to just alter the tones rather than the colour to show a difference while keeping the same theme or use a matt finish on the saurus and a more glossy finish on the aquatic skinks.

Probably best to paint up one or two and see how they look.

Alternatively if your skins have shields you can make the skin different but the shields the same or vice versa.

However, the thing that ties together most armies are the bases, if all the bases in an army share a theme then all the units tend to "fit" the army even if they have a different paint scheme or are models from a different era.
