Hi all, first post - just finished off my first few Saurus warriors of my host and I though I'd post them up for comments: The unit as it stands: The other 4 Saurus for the unit are about 50% done Champion - I realise the angle of the shot isn't the best... but hey-ho: Musician Standard: Standard close-up - I'm happy with the tongue, but still very out of practice with the gems for the eye (Plus it still needs the gloss varnish adding when I pick some up) Comments welcome & appreciated.

Very nice work! The color scheme is very distinctive, and the blue feathers are an excellent compliment. Kinda reminds me of:
great paint job no doubt, but im not really loving the color of teh skin. im not hating it, just not loving it. still you should be proud of them
I gotta say, thats some fine work. I have also planned of giving my Saurus a light brownish look on their skin. Nice to see how great it worked out for you. I just hope I can do half as good for myself.
Well, the way I've done it is fairly simple as I was going for a way to paint them fairly quickly (For me) while looking decent.. Start with a white base (I undercoat white for speed on these & touch up) then 2 layers of gryphonne sepia wash & your done.... I've got a pic of the test scheme skink I did as well (Just not finished the base) - I did a skink & saurus in each of the schemes I was trying.. some worked.. some definately didnt (One in particular looked like Barny...)

Dude nice saurus, i like the colour, the old near by GW store used to have them, when they were open.
Wow very nice! Well done and great colour scheme. I really like them, and also look forward to seeing more. The skink looks cool, he almost reminds me of a tyranid. I haven't seen the Burning Shore before, cool cover art!
The coloures are like a carnosaurus in our army book. I really like them. Can´t wait to see more pictures.
Nice work, they look really good. Can I steal the scheme for my Cold Ones? How did you do the scales? Just mechrite red and then a gryphonne sepia wash? And the skin is just white with 2 washes of gryph sep?
Hey, when did this book come out? Is it any good? I read the one where Thanquol goes to Lustria and didn't like the Lizardmen parts - very dull I felt - the Lizardmen seemed like mindless robots. I like your colors a lot - can you brighten your next batch of photos - they seem very dark. Thanks
Very nice looking models you have. And you say it was achieved with a few simple steps? Even better. Great job!
the paint recipe is fairly simple - Tried to keep it that way so ~I could get them painted fairly quickly: Undercoat white. Flesh: 2 coats gryphonne sepia wash Scales: Mechrite red base 1 or 2 coats of Devlan Mud Spines/Claws & saurus weapons: Charadon Granite base Badad black wash Teeth: Thin coat of badab black to outline the teeth against the gryphonne sepia Sheields: Scorched brown base Devlan mud wash High light with scorched bron : scorched brown/ivory : Sorched bron:ivory:ivory Gold: Scorched brown base Shining gold coat shining gold:Mithril silver highlight Occasionally use gryphonne sepia to tone down the silver. Funnily enough I use the same scheme on my Tyrannids
