So this is the last of my lizardmen from now (I've painted all the ones I have and time for change of direction). They have been a joy to paint.
First up another regiment of 16 skinks with spears. The whole army has a very Aztec feel and so most of the weapons in the army are not steel but bronze, stone or wooden
These guys have the standard green and yellow colour scheme with bightly coloured shields
Next another 13 skinks to complete a regiment. Same deal as the previous
Next up are 2 skinks on microtyrannosaurs. The skinks are converted from the Sundereded Studio figures and the dinosaurs from the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company (although they have now stopped selling them).
I say converted, I found figures that would fit on the back of the dinos and removed their loin cloths
Next up another species of lizard with red and orange crests.
These guys have tortoise shell shields and I really like them
Next up are 12 huge lizard men. These are 40mm figures and look exactly like Godzilla. I gave them a brown colour scheme with bronze shields and weapons. Using KoW these would be 4 regiments and are equivalent to Ogres or Trolls
I have acquired a couple of Frostgrave Cobramen and these will join the army as heros and wizards
Finally the whole army so far. Almost all were painted during the challenge
These 4 weren't, the turtle wizard is from Mr Lees, the Albertosaurus with the Howdah is from the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Co. and the orange Microtyrannosaur was prepainted by Mark Copplestone and bought via North Star, it's very cool.
Looking at the army there are some gaps with the number of figures not really matching the number of regiments. Within my group there is a legendary box of unpainted lizardmen from Warhammer V2. These have now been found and have fallen to me and I will paint them up later in the challenge when I get them.
So the scores on the doors
41 x 25mm infantry = 205
2 x 25mm cav = 20
12 x 40mm infantry = 84
3 standards = 3
total = 312pts.
Next up I think Sci Fi
Martin
Well, I hadn't even looked at this post when I made the joke about Martin "kicking up a skink". Fantastic work on these and it's great to see the army (so far) on parade. I'm sure we'll all look forward to seeing the WH V2 ones painted up later on in the Challenge.

I really like the "unit markings" on the Albertosaurus, a great idea, which I might get inspired by. :) Good looking army painted in almost no time at all!
ReplyDeleteThanks, love thecmarkings but do make it look like a ww2 british fighter plane
DeleteYes it does, but I don't know if it is entirely a bad thing.
DeleteMe neither
DeleteA veritable blizzard of lizards Martin! Excellent work and the whole horde looks awesome all lined up.
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteGreat work
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteThe micro T-Rex are my favourite of this lot!
ReplyDeleteMine too
DeleteThe skinks are pretty cool😎
ReplyDeleteThanks, do love a skink
DeleteFabulous! I'll miss seeing you add to this army. Such great colour and character. Actually, you need to find a nice hulking Slaan to be their Big Daddy and Supreme Overlord. C'mon, you know you want one. :)
ReplyDeleteYes I do. I need a guy on a litter. I know where there is one
DeleteYou're smashing through these figures Martin. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteJoy to paint them
DeleteMartin this is a brilliant entry and I love the Aztec theme. I love to imagine them charging out of the jungle and driving Cortez and his conquistadors back to their ships, never to return. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteCheers, MikeP
Thank you. I agree about Cortez and may have to buy some now
DeleteGosh you have been productive
ReplyDeletecheers
Matt
like some kind of deranged lunatic
DeleteGood to see the lizardmen come together, great work.

DeleteCracking work Martin. I love the way the warriors blend into the basing, so evocative of their stealthy jungle feel.
ReplyDeletethanks, that was the plan
Deleteyour army is growing rapidly indeed, can't wait to see what you come up with next.
ReplyDeleteAwesome lizard army! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
