I had a Lizardmen army about 15 years ago. I just looked at the new models, quite a bit different. Thinking back on how I painted mine (different colors but nevermind that) combined with how I painted the few DA I collected would work, and is similar to what I believe Warboss Ironskull said.

Base black, then a light-medium drybrush of dark purple, followed by a medium purple and a brighter purple. Scales could be painted tan or a weathered bone color. Thinking somewhat like a gila monster, just dark purple instead of black, and bone plates instead of orange scales.

I also agree on the method for obsidian. Black, with grey or slightly blue/grey highlights gloss coated, or even a gloss black.

Skinks, I'd base purple, and go up to quite bright. Or something like the tongue of a blue tonged skink.

What came to mind when you said the colors was black scaled saurus with grey/tan underbellies and a purple stripe of scales running down either side of the spine as well as purple on the crests. The weapons and armour in the ancient bronze, for obsidian I usually just paint the section black then paint a clear gloss over it to give it the glassy look though I'm sure there is a more in depth tutorial somewhere that can be found with a little searching.
