So here is a box of Lizardmen. I am going to see how many I can paint today. I mean I am coming up on 3000 messages, a year of DCM and a LIFETIME of Wargaming I suppose I could paint something.



I do not have any washes, and only one ink so I doubt I will get the shields done/ on. Also there is a new range coming out, including plastic Temple Guard, which is what the converted Halberds are supposed to represent. But they can still be bullet catcher Temple Guard after I buy a box of the new stuff.

Edit: Make that > 3000 messa-gers. 3,000 messa-gers; a dozen or so lady friends of varying virtue and beeers, I must be doing something right.

I will not wash them, but I have Sky Blue ink that I ink the bodies with. I will highlight/ dry brush the bone (which is the same thing for me ). The wood I will probably wait until I get a wash or look at the pictures in the book.

Well I fell asleep. Story of my life. So much for "laying down for a little bit". Before I did I got about 1/3 of them up to 'almost table-top'. I took a picture but I will paint more today. I do not like how the flash works, makes it too bright.

What does the book say to do.

Gold: Metal paint + ink. I will paint them and call it good enough for now.
Scales: I did paint + ink. Good enough.
Shields: I will highlight same as the book.
Weapon hafts: I consider this to be a kind of ironwood. I have floor wax and brown paint I will try making a wash of some kind.

I think I might go with warpaint of some kind here and there.

Hey, explain to me, what exactly is DCM?

Anyway, they had a good article on painting them in WD a while back when those first came out. Do you have that?

EDIT: Ah, now that I've typed DCM, I can put the cursor over it and see what it says, although I'm still no sure what you have to do to achieve that prestigious title.

cough up $25 to yak and lego. Once you do, the power is YOURS. bwahahahaha. Benefits: dakkadakka.com e-mail, less ads if you want to miss the cool ads, freedom to spam a bit and you get to be friends with akira.

And no, I do not have WD from that era I do not think. Lemme snoop around on the website.

They look kind of hum-drum because of the lack of highlight but they will be good enough if I moan about it while I paint 'em. I can always touch 'em up later if I am not busy with five or six other armies.

They have a thing on the website ... looks OK. I am going to paint them before I get fancy with the scales.

Well I got 'em all black and blue I am doing the brown (wood), gold and the Javelin tips will be iron (Boltgun) since the Skinks are just little guys. Shields will wait until after I paint the Cold Ones, which will probably be after I get the washes ... which I will probably pick up today.

I know this is not a very exciting painting blog, it is the text version. . Also, I am still awake by some miracle, must be the muzak.

anyway I am going to do something else for a bit. When I get the washes and talk to the guy I can finish my Guardians, too. wee.

eh I think I will do the brown. Edit: fething hell I can't get the lid off. I think I will do some cleaning and look for my opener-things. I have to decide if I want a couple boxes of Orks or the new Space Marine book. I think I will go for the Orks. Knowing the weapon options for Space Marine HQ can wait a few more weeks.

So I got some Scorched Brown, the new washes and a couple of boxes of Orks so I will work on them, too.
