    Testing an alternative scheme for my cav archers, 1 of these for every 5 dawnriders is the plan

    Switching the red, orange and russ grey positions a bit

    May still add a second pauldron to the archer....

    If you have been spit balling this out I wouldn't serve it to someone else but yourself ;)

    Back to the models: I like how you did the conversion. It looks clean and believeable. I am not sure about the change of colorpattern in one unit. But maybe it will work out great.

    Keep up the good work

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Found this beauty! Going to use it as my Slann as I still don't have one, or maybe Kroak?

    Haha, definitely for myself and the lady!

    Thank you! It looks better painted for sure lol really happy with it

    And yeah, we will see, if not its not a *horrible* fix, its also to be used as a AoA character, but yeah... we'll see lol

    Its hard going from Seraphon where I paint crazy shit to... everything be the same.

    But yeah, so far I dig the Warden and two cavs together as a working scheme

    Also brings back the Napoleononic Era armies if where everything was a different color depending on role in the army

    Nice, what did you use to make the blue a bit neon? Or is that just the camera flash?

    The magic of shades, just that list of colors in your quote and its order is what achieved it :) there's no Flash

    WIP on Lucifer

    My Lumineth army as a whole is a Halloween/Volcanic theme, and the mountain cows are no different

    Sporting a molten core that super heats his armor and a volcano on his back, this Mountain Cow means blistering business!

    Much more to come but a good start :)

    C&C welcome!

    I was able to finally find, in original box, the Citadel Coatl model for Lizardmen :)

    Im excited to paint it... yet so conflicted on actually taking it out of the box lol

    Any thoughts on what I could use it as? Its quite smaller than I thought it'd be (for a monster) so I don't think a terradon chief will work...

    Maybe Anvil of Apotheosis monster?

    Oh wow... not really a monster monster is it? Still, can't wait to see it when you've painted it up!

    Good luck deciding on taking it out the box or not. I feel your pain ;)
    He definitely is a tad small

    Ha, yeah...ugh lol more than likely I'm gonna open it and paint it, I'll probably put a few of those jungle swarms under it. Likely make it an AoA creature and use it for tourneys that allow AOA characters, otherwise a very cool and rare display piece!
    Yeah, although I'm still very excited to have the official model... it does make me sad at how small it is. Considering how small the models used to be though... it makes sense. Sucks, but makes sense.

    Just makes me wanna make a kitbash using Morathi...wait what? ;)

    Also...... I know this is a Lizardmen/Seraphon forum and we all wanna see those models specifically, however I have a finished Lumineth I want to share!

    Im excited to finally be able to share my Avalenor (who I have Affectionately renamed Lucifer, for obvious reasons I think...also Moocifer) for my Iliatha Lumineth army! He was a lot of fun to paint and I'm happy I have a regular Spirit of the Mountain to paint later

    If you've been following my progress then you know I went with a Volcanic/Halloween theme, and I think it translated beautifully onto this model! Going with said theme, I gave him super heated armor & putting dark spots to help sell that, I also went ahead and gave him a volcano as his mountain back. In the center is his Moltej Core which not only super heats his armor but is what powers the volcano on his back.

    For the base I tried to do more of an aerial view look than a more on the ground feel, I wanted him to feel taller, just as I feel a spirit of a mountain should be (I think I succeeded for my first attempt at such a thing!). With a large river running between his legs and a fresh volcano formed with his footfall, Lucifer is definitely a force to be reckoned with! Is especially cool when you consider his base is the terrain that my wardens, dawnriders, etc are walking on/their bases are ;):cool:

    Without further adu, I present to you....

    Lucifer, The Mountain's Rage! hope you enjoy!

    Now to time to go hunt down missed spots and touch ups!

    Seraphon progress will start up again in a bit, dont fret! Ive been eyeing my star seer for awhile now... might ge time to finish him soon. 20200925_054431.jpg 20200925_054517.jpg 20200925_054538.jpg 20200925_054559.jpg 20200925_054622.jpg 20200925_054955.jpg 20200925_055023.jpg

    I much like this picture.

    The base elevates the 'massive' size of the model. highlights that he really is a mountain :artist::artist:
