From TamsinP: Lizardmen at O'Grady's Gulch (For Joshua) (90 points)

Extract from the journal of TamsinP, Time Traveler, Society Girl and Adventuress

26th January, I haven't a clue what year...or even what universe...


Alighting from Lady S's balloon after another enjoyable flight, I find myself atop a hill overlooking a gully or gulch. Peering down into the gulch I spy some tiny green figures formed up in ranks as though for battle.

I decide that it is my duty to descend and investigate. It isn't as far down as the green figures' appearance led me to believe and I find that they were indeed small, not far away*. I must appear a great giant to them, for they flee in terror. 

Lifting my eyes to the East I notice a tall, snow-capped mountain in the distance. I feel compelled to approach and ascend it, as I am sure there will be a great reward for doing so...

Swordslizards

Spearlizards

Some close-ups:

These were quite fun to paint. As with my previous entry, I used my wet palette for these and the weapons were done as NMM - I think it came out quite nicely on the swords. If you look carefully at the photos, you will notice that no two lizardmen are identical. And that I have painted the yes and teeth. And varying shield patterns, although that hasn't come out quite so well in the photos.

I actually painted these before starting on the hairy bikers. The figures are 10mm from Magister Militum. I'd originally bought them with the intention of using them to make "friezes" to decorate pyramids and buildings for my Mexicagrave project, but that has been in abeyance for quite some time. Then along comes James' most worthy "For Joshua" project and I decided to make them my contribution to that - can you think of a better use for them?

For scoring:

60 x 10mm foot @ 1 = 60 points
O'Grady's Gulch = 30 points
Total = 90 points

* luckily I'm not as easily perplexed as Father Dougal:

What a great little entry here Tamsin.  I love the figures, for 10mm they have a lot of detail.  The painting is really very nice for that scale as well, they look great, and doing NMM on 10mm???  You truly are mad Tamsin.

The basing is also top notch, which I find many people (myself included) tend to skimp on at smaller scales, but the basing here really makes these pop.
