Finished a unit of 24 saurus spearmen. Here they are




Wadaya think?

I have another unit of 24 with hand weapons & shields to do, not sure if I should leave them or switch them to be all spears too...

I think Necros = tainted by Khorne.

Wow good job though , this might be the motivation i need! depending on a few things xD

1) Did you prime them with both arms glued on and fully assembled?

2) What color did you prime them with?

3) How to make the movement tray? i like!

*edit , or just tell me the steps xD

They look really nice, the red is a nice change from the usual blue.

THANKS! I finally know what all those bits I got at a yard sale are from.

Thanks

I primed them with Army Painter red spray primer, whole model built with everything but the shields. Those were primed black and glued on at the end.

the red was like GW's blood red but there were a bunch of spots the spray mixed and I just used mechrite red for them, and then slathered on badab black wash all over so you can't really tell were the different shades of red are, it all looked the same at the end.

Oh and the movement tray is just a standard one from Gale Force 9 for 6x4 25mm bases

Great job, the mix of red lizards with the stone equipment is really cool.

I dont really understand how that works >.<

Doesnt the primer and glue get melted and mixed together when applied?
For me it turns into a slippery black goo ( or can that goo still hold 2 plastic together? )

Nice job, the red is a nice change and you did a good job. Are you going with the red on all your units or just the saurus.

No I used super glue to glue the shields on I always do that with my shields, because I can never get the brush in behind them. I do the same thing with guns, I paint the whole body and arms and glue the gun on at the end.

All of my troops are red, I based them off a poison frog from costa rica the skinks have blue hands and feet too since thats what the frog had. I was going to do the sauruses a different color at first but I thought all red would tie the army together better. Other lizards like stegadons and stuff are different colors. There's a bunch more pics in my gallery here

Yep . looked through them all , 100% impressed.
I left some comment and questions xD

Great work, especially for rank and file troops. I wish I had the patience to paint that well across the board.
