Hey guys, new to Dakka, I thought I would open by posting a couple of pics of the army I am currently working on, Lizardmen. It is a rather time consuming scheme on the scales which is unfortuate since I'm a slow painter anyway, but I like it. I've done skin and scales on these guys, not really gone into the detail yet though a bit on the saurus.





Saurus head has to change, I don't like it as it is. Any suggestions on whether I should go dark or light for it?

Thanks for the comments! Yeah the army is going to be very time consuming. It probably takes 4-5 hours just to do the scales on 5 saurus in an assembly line. I am trying to make the whole of this army very high quality though. Experimented with a couple of shortcuts that didn't involve picking out every scale 4-5 times but I didn't like the result unfortunately.

Good thing about the scales is I can very easily pick up a brush and paint for 10 minutes or whatever and not have to have long sessions, I'm trying to get into a habit of working for at least a while every day.

Might as well post my carnosaur as well, he is probably my favourite model.
