    I haven't played it for about 3 months been too busy playing Battlefield 4 and Starwars Battlefield.

    I was playing as Chaos and just found it became a tad boring.

    Yes I've tried playing Chaos as well but the whole horde faction can get a little boring I agree. I've had a blast with the other races though. I really think they succeeded in making a good warhammer game :)

    I played VC but made loads of bad decisions in the early game and got stomped, maybe it is worth another play through.

    I'd say it is for sure! Especially now that Vlad von Carstein has arrived! He looks so badass haha

    It doesn't have them yet, but the developers have pretty much promised us they will come! They aim to give us all the races of 8th edition - for a considerable fee per race of cause ;) I'd say it's worth it though. It is a lot of fun :)
    And Dawn of War is still an awesome game haha. I have put a lot of hours into it!

    Hmm, I might consider it still then but y steam list is mostly consisted of free to play and gifted games ^.^ the occasional one I've bought myself is on Christmas or summer sales :p - let me know when they release Lizardmen and i'll seek your professional gaming opinion on whether I should empty my wallet

    Haha I'm really far far away from the professional gamer title - I have like 6 games in my steam library :D I'm really just a warhammer lore fan, so I enjoy games like this ;) Anyway I'll let you know for sure when they arrive

    Temple Guard Project

    Three more guys are finished! I might have went a little over the top with the plastic plants... I just like them so much :p
    DSC_0686.JPG

    One small consideration came to mind. Right now I use both the plastic plants and small tufts. Does it look wierd that they are together since it's not really the same "style"? I could keep them seperated so both of them are not on a single base. Let me know what you think. The thought just struck me today :)

    They look great, the plants add great detail to the base so keep it up. ;)

    Thank you @Crowsfoot! I'll stick to it then :) I've grown quite fond of making bases with tufts or plastic plants seeing what it can do for a model. It can really make a difference :)

    A model is never finished until you do a decent job on the base ;)

    Two more are finished! I had a lot of fun with the standard bearer. I want the feathers on top to look a bit more interesting, but I'm not that good at blending, so right now they're pretty plain. I will come back to them later :)

    All in all this regiment is coming together quite quickly I feel. I still have a lot more guys to do of cause. I think I will paint 15 instead of all 20. Simply because I don't want to rush my painting that much (the upcoming match is next weekend). I still want to be happy with the results when I finish them so 15 is more realistic I think :)
    I hope you like them!

    That standard is awesome! Both the musician and standard bearer look great. Classic style and done so well! That shield is brilliant. Looks so good.

    Thanks a lot @Bowser! I really appreciate it :) It's always nice when people comment and you are always so positive haha ;) It's great motivation! I have started on the champion of the unit and he's well on his way. Luckily there's been no extra work in this weekend at all so I actually have time to paint. It's so great :)

    I'm making progress on my riders as well as my Temple Guard. I had no real experience painting leather (or cloth in general since Lizardmen doesn't really have any...) but I got a nice tip from Jorgik involving a yellowish brown since I wanted the saddles to look worn and old. At first I lightly drybrushed the whole saddle with this color and then I moved on to paint thin lines on the most razed areas. I quite like it actually and this guy is now ready for further painting :)

    Further tips on anything is always welcome! :)

    These guys look incredible! Wonderful looking unit. The colours are vibrant and well put together. That champion is killer. Amazing work here.
