I have my new Lizardmen and I want to get really, really serious about getting my army put together and painted! Yes, I am accually going to try and paint my Lizzys. I know, I'm shocked too.

Anywho... I really hate the blue GeeW colors. What I want to do is something not blue. Do you have any suggestions? I did a seach for lizards to see if I got any ideas, but all were of the brown or green variant.

Like what I said, just trying to get some ideas and if I get one I like, I will try and do a blog for my army.

Thanks in advance.

Welll.... why dont you look into red and oranges, and variate between shades for skin and scales ?
You could look to tyranids to give you some insparation, they have a similar kind of... ummm, idea, where the arapcae is different colours to the skin, if you follow me.
The same principles could be used for the lizardmen
Anyway if that made sence then great and thats what i was thinking.

all the best

I too hate blue lizards. How are they going to hunt in a green jungle if they're blue? I use Gretchin Green for my Saurus warriors (its a Vallejo paint color but Gretchin is close enough) and something more like Orkhide for the Skinks. My Old Blood is White. The creatures (Salamanders, Carnosaur, Teradons, Cold Ones, etc) are all shades of Catachan Green with some blue in it. The whole army is green hues and I think it works and is more beliveable than blue or orange. Good luck and let us know what you go with. -K

pics posted would work well.
i think bright vibrant colours are the way to go for a great looking army
