    I have been lax. Should i create a temple of Aartzifartzi niche for Carnosaurs? I had in mind to do one each for most of the army list.

    Note to all, you don't have to wait for Bob to make an Art hosting thread. If someone else wanted to start a thread with the title "Temple of Aartzifartzi - Carnosaurs" I'm sure everyone would figure out what's going on.

    I'd like to do it myself, it's just that I have low initiative. Curse this cold blood!

    and after kroak launching meteors...here's the arboreal cousin of the more infamous salamader, with the silliest name I could think of:
    the geckuar
    WP_20150904_001.jpg
    because we already have too many theropods and the jaguar theme is underused
    for size reference the rider is a skink, the beast should be big enough to be used for a monstrous cavalry

    I can't sculpt for s**t
    but I think khorne flesh hounds could be a good start, replace the heads with cold ones' add a bit of green stuff for toes, canines, bony crests and tails and you should be golden

    I'm a bit unsure about what to draw next

    I've got a backlog of concepts ready for dozens of units (more or less new) with these being the most interesting I've got for the lizards

    thunder lizard with starcaller
    arcanodon with sacrificial altar
    great pteryx
    barriodon
    carnotaurs riders*
    troglokroxs goldenback
    sunblood warriors*
    shadows jumpers*
    pahuax ashes priest
    firetoad shaman
    the "F5" for skinks scouts
    sentinels for terradons

    let me know what attracts your interest

    *name subject to change

    This please. The poor old Arcanodon needs more attention, and sacrificial altars are always fun (unless you're a Skaven).

    thunder lizard out
    arcanodon next (if only I could find the previous sketches this time...)
    WP_20150912_002.jpg
    I hope it is clear enough, details for stuff this big in a drawing the size of a hand can get messy

    anyway, it's the classic body of a sauropod with the nastier turtle-like mouth I could make and flat bony plates running all over the main body like in the stegadon and the bastiladon, offering protection and a solid base for pointier bony protrusions, in particular near the head, shoulders, hips and at some point not too far from the end of the tail
    the howdah is made to resemble a pyramid, it is in fact divided into 2 parts, 3 if we take into consideration that the lower is split to accommodate the spines of the creature (at some point the spines get cut and worked on by the skinks to offer a more stable base)
    at the top of the pyramid is the starcaller, inspired by the original version of the engine of the gods in lustria, it is composed by multiple rotating rings (even the small cone under it is supposed to be a spinning platform for the complex rites of the skink priest), but as always happens with lizardmen stuff and old ones tech, designs vary
    ideally it would work like a long range artillery: Casting down meteors, comets or lasors from the stars

    manned by 8-10 skinks, this would represent the smaller thunder lizards, the ones easier to control and train

    like the engine of the god it's a powerful artifact capable of interacting with the geomantic grid to draw power but the starcaller in particular is thought to be able to contact the old ones and in times of celestial alignments the slann order to move it to a particular location and perform a ritual
    sometimes they do so personally, riding the beast themselves

    obviously the starcaller is put on top of the thunder lizards because they are sacred, the land creatures with the closest link, and nearer heads to the stars
    but superstition and religion often complement a more realistic reason: The thunder lizards are among the few beasts capable of bearing the weight of the artifact

    We could arrange to have your wifi turned off permanently if you are going to behave like that.
