Well today/yesterday depending on your time zone is 10 years for me as a member of Lustria Online!
Turns out the last month was really busy at work (in the end it went well), so instead of any new projects that I have started/completed in the Lizardmen front, instead I decided to go through my blog again and remind myself of some of my favorite projects over the last 10 years in the forum.
This is not an exact list of course, the numbers are not hard and fast, I generally placed some projects I would rank higher closer to the top but they are all big favorites of mine and could easily switch pending on how nostalgic I am on a given day, or however my hobby mood suites me.
Anyway, here are my top ten Lizardmen projects.
#10. Swimming Troglodon
One of my first really good conversions that I did using extra parts from my Carnosaur kit, and my
entry for a forum contest that won 3rd place (securing me some privateer press paints that I still use to this day!).
#9. Voodoo Crocodiles
My favorite of the three-ish units of Warmachine/Hordes gatormen I put together, also my first real attempt using magnets on minis (they are magnetized with either round or square bases). Love how they turned out, and were a great inspiration for my lizardmen blitz bowl team too!
#8. Shogun of the Dragon Isles Project
Skipping over to the Art Thread and its dedicated
lore thread, the Shogun of the Dragon Isles were a fantastic project that had me both making cool artwork, maps, and lore for a non-Mesoamerican setting for the Lizardmen of the Old World. Really loved this project, one that I look back upon fondly.
#7. Lizardmen Saurus Regiments
My answer for what is my favorite Warhammer miniature regiment! Also the first Warhammer units I ever put together and painted, though I didn't actually base them until years after joining the forum. While the latest generation of AOS saurus are undoubtedly superior in almost every way, there is something about this unit that still holds its place for me as the definitive saurus minis. Yay nostalgia!
#6. Lost City of Mutal- 3D map
One more step into the realm of
art and lore, this 3D map was made on sketch-up and is one of my favorite projects that helped me really visualize what a Lizardmen-temple city could look like! Lots of fun putting this one together, took a lot of inspiration from both the book illustrations as well as real-world Maya pyramids!
#5. Mordheim Platforms Project
Inspired by the defunct Long Island Wargaming youtube channel, this project was forefront in my mind when I travelled down the route of building terraint in a Lizardmen-inspired style, and they are the (literal) building blocks of all my future terrain boards!
