New Hatchling

Hello there,

I'm new to the whole warhammer thing. A few years ago, I painted some lord of the rings tabletop figures which I got through a magazine. I collected roughly 100 miniatures, but due to the lack of fellow players in the small German town I lived in back in those days, I stopped buying the magazine and collecting the miniatures. This must have been over ten years ago.

Now I live in a much bigger town, with a games worshop store and multiple other stores where gamers meet. And age of sigmar refreshed my interest in tabletop gaming. I always shied away from fantasy because of the mass of miniatures, one would presumably need. I also convinced two friends to start collecting. Because I love dinosaurs and also mesoamerican art, my choice for the lizardmen (I hate ne name seraphon) was predetermined.

Right now, I bought and assembled a starter set.
I also converted a little bit and got a skink priest, an Astrolith Bearer, a scar veteran on cold-one and a footed oldblood. Pictures below




Right now, I am looking forward to paint my minis and finally play the game. I think the first games should be on skirmish format, because neither my friends nor me have 1000 point armies. Or what do you guys suggest?

In this forum, I seek out Tips and feedback on painting, strategic advice and discussion and also some fluff on my seraphon.

 

Welcome aboard! Those conversions look stunning!

 

Welcome to Lustria.

 

Echoing the previous comments, I like the standard bearer! Great conversion, looking forward to see how you paint it!

 

Thank you all for the kind words and the encouragement.
I will start a painting blog, as soon as I got some painting done. But I want the blog to serve mainly as tips- and help-collecting-device.

I am very happy with how the conversions worked out. I had no experience prior and was surprised by how easy it was.
But my painting skills were very subpar. At least they were last time I painted some minis somewhat over 10 years ago.

 

Here it goes

 

Welcome!
