Back when I was younger I was fascinated with the Lizardmen army range and got a few sets for Christmas. I recently found that I wanted to take the plunge into the miniature world, and I stripped the saurus warriors and stegadon that I had and repainted them.
Decided on green because its simply the best color. The red shields I feel really make the unit "pop," and I'm pretty obsessed with brass colored weapons and obsidian blades. I also decided to experiment with some of the shoulder blades in the kit and make an oldblood.
I made him albino and gave him a purple shield because I thought it would be cool. I don't know how I feel about him though, I may strip and just apply the same color scheme to a proper oldblood model. I also messed up with the white, and applied a basecoat of screaming skull rather than using a gray, but I'm just starting out so I don't feel too bad about it.
Next up is the stegadon, which I'm pretty proud of.
I bought a slann to mount him to make a leader of the army, (and because I had lost every single skink that came with the model), and plan to magnetize him to the mount as I would like to have some other options. The painting took forever, but I had a great time actually painting the model. I was expecting it to be a chore and was originally pretty intimidated by the model, but running into problems and coming up with solutions to them was actually a very enjoyable process.
I also tried out actually basing the model for the first time as well. I had some basic dirt type material and flock from some model train shop along with some aquarium rocks. I want to eventually add some tufts to the model.
After painting everything, I'm pretty sure I found a solid hobby. Right now I'm trying to learn how exactly highlighting works, as I struggle with pinpointing where to actually apply them. That and basing are my two main focuses of improvement right now. Any criticism is welcome of course, and I would like to hear some opinions on how the army seems to be looking (color-wise).
