From ArthurS: A fresh start (45 points)

Hello Everybody,

I wanted to finally finish my black orc team this year, so that I could start the new year fresh with other projects. After two years sitting on my paintingdesk I am glad the team is finally done.







My captain Glark has a mushroom on his base, that is actually a failed print from my father's 3D printer. 




The goblin with the moon on his back is officially part of the regular goblin team, not the Black Orc team but I traded the goblin that was originally part of the all-goblin team with Dad.

I recently got a box of AoS Lizardmen and I have had a Lizardman Blood Bowl team for some time. I would now like to paint them, so I made a test model for both my BB team and the Seraphon. Different and contrasting colours feel the most Lustria to me, so I gave the Saurus itself yellow with blue spikes and the armor red with green ornaments. At a later date I will use this scheme for my Lizardmen army as well, to be used to play Mordheim and Warhammer The Old World. 





Recently a friend of mine came to play DND and asked if I could paint this model for her, so I did that. I made the big sword green as if it is a magic sword. I wanted to try that technique for a long time because I have seen people do that on the power swords of the Space Marines. I think it's a Reaper figure.



For points I think that 9 miniatures in 28mm would get me 45 points to get me started this Challenge.

Currently I am working on my other lizardmen, both the team as well as the Saurus Warriors, so they will hopefully appear here soon. Goodbye for now!


Arthur

TeemuL: These look great, the Orcs are especially very neat! You definitely have gotten new skills during the years. Your Saurus looks good, as you said, very Lustrian colours. All the best with the rest of the team and army. And the very nice magic sword wielder to make it nine models, a nice start for you and a nice start for Thor's days. I'll add "Sarah's Choice" to your tags because of the female miniature.
