Hi all hows everyones start of the year been we all been busy painting.modling and gaming heres just some of my new units for my 2013 lizardmen army as allways any and all feedback/comments are welcome hope you like what ya see .All so heres a link for the 2013 lizardmen gallery. http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-68012-31287_2013%20Lizardmen%20Army.html

Very cool so far, I like the muted tones and the orange/blue contrast. It's not always easy to pull that off. One constructive criticism for you, the skin in the first picture could use a bit more depth.. Maybe a light wash? Looks like it's coming along nicely though.

Thanks yeah the first has been redone but still not 100% and my camera on my iphone dnt do it any justis as well they look better in the flesh

One thing you need to be aware of is that if you undercoat with white and miss a spot it really destroys the overrall look of the miniature. Either undercoat with a darker color (like black) or be sure that you cover every single white spot.

The advantage of a white prime is that you can shade it down with tints and washes. This is also much less likely to leave white spost.

Yeah im redoing the skink again coz of the white bits as i started to rush it towards the end of painting so im gona take it nice and slow and when ive got a load more done ill post them up and if ya can look at the gallery and rate even if its a low rate please do thanks

Almost finished the skink cheif already looks ten times better in my eye none of the white basecoat is showing unlike the pic at the top also gona make the white highlights thiner as well will put a pic up soon

After not being happy with the skink chief i gota another as he was beoned saving so here he is let me know what ya think of this one .

Looks alot better, I would probably use some more wash over the skin to make the muscles stand out more. I'd recommend a 50/50 mif of water and agrax earthshade or seraphim spehia depending what tone you want.

Also go for a base that contrasts to the skin, I think a jungle base with lucious green stuff would go well with the skin tone.

i did do a tester with a wash going on top but i ddnt like the look of it and i was gona do a jungal base but its more based on a desert army .

Ha these are great! Those warriors are really good looking models mate.

Thanks dude dnt forget to have a look at the whole gallery http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-68012-31287_2013%20Lizardmen%20Army.html and give em ya vote hows your army coming along what ya got planed to paint next ?
