    I'm here to enlist your help, I need you guys to help me find real pictures of purple reptiles (or Amazing photoshops) Also tips on painting purple would be nice. When thats done I'm gonna start posting my work here as soon as I start. So.. Welcome to my soon to be painting thread!


    So, Im not sure wether to paint them a dusty very light purple color or a smoother darker purple. I was gonna post images of what these looked like but the site doesn't seem to want me to...

    n810! Thank you! Thats a great picture of a lizard and is exactly what I wanted. As for the Barney joke I Really am considering painting a stegadon super deep purple and calling him barney. Then I realized that stegadons rarely match colors with lizard men... The paint job looks like it's gonna need lots of hormagaunt purple as a basecoat .. It'll look awesome!

    And Kaax... Have you ever seen the emperors children (40k) or a pink minion of slannesh? Or better! a pink horror. 90% of the pink things in both warhammer versses will rip your face off while looking awesome. (including,yes pink lizardmen)

    Nah man, I have no issues with pink...really. I just can't sport the pink scales of death myself. More power to those that can and do....no harm intended - I promise.

    I do imagine that color scheme would look incredible if done right. I plan to trick out my Chameleons, so you can toss a volley of color phobia my way when the time comes...

    Sorry if I offended..... I would not do something like that on purpose.

    No worries. I initially said mid to late January, so pretty soon I guess. I might try to open it in the next week or two, but fairly busy with uni work right now.

    I did a saurus with the new washes and thought it looked pretty good, I think it was; white undercoat, purple wash, blue wash, red wash, done.

    I agree they look good,

    Some advice: Line the bracelets and the metal work with a watered down black it really makes them pop and look a lot nicer. Also Wash and highlight the metals gold with 50/50 mithril silver/shining gold and the silver just with mithril silver.

    sure thing Slanny, much the same as Overhamsteren, white basecoat, two purple wash, liche purple on the scales, and then a black wash to dirty them up. Then detail. Easy as. I've given the Brave Black scales to make him stand out a little more (not pictured).

    EDIT: corrected white wash to white baseboat

    Your skinks are amazing!! I'm inanely busy right now but on friday or saturday im gonna paint one Saurus warrior with a wash technique and another one with a suuuper dark purple that will build up from necron abyss and then hormagaunt purple. I'll see which one i like better and may reserve the latter for my slann...

    You used a white wash? Or do you mean the base colour is white?
