Lizardmen part 2: Saurus

Finally got around to posting these: Saurus warriors with Spears:

I added a unit filler in the middle to get more out of the unit.

Temple Guard with Slann:


Saurus Cold One Cavalry:

The model in the front can be used as a mounted Old Blood or Scar Veteran.

Lizardmen part 1

I haven't played Lizardmen in a few years, but with the new book out, I felt it was time to restart my Lizardmen (which is the only army I've ever regretted selling). Just to get things started, here is my first completed minis:

The Slann is completely scratch-built. I made the Palanquin out of Styrofoam pieces then added some Lizardmen bitz. The Slann is all greenstuff, except for his waving hand (which is a Chaos Spawn hand) and the dangling bits on his chest, lip and ...ears.

Skink Priest & Saurus Lord on Cold One:

The Skink Priest next to him is converted using a Kroot body with Lizardmen bitz. The tail and mask are greenstuff. The Saurus Character is just a Cold One Cavalry model with some extra bits and the Bloodletter head from a Grey Knight set.

Skink paint schemes:

Almost all my Lizardmen are going to be painted like real reptiles and amphibians.

Skink/Kroxigor unit:

Most of the Skinks are the old tiny models because they rank-up better. The Krox are plastic dino bodies with greenstuff arms and Cold One heads. I modeled them and the "unit-filler" to be wading through a small pond. The Krox are painted like crocodiles

Ripperdactyls:

I converted these from Tyranid Gargoyles & Saurus bitz. The bloat toads I made out of greenstuff. I painted them to look like a winged lizard I found on google.


Salamander Hunting packs:

I again used plastic dinos and Saurus bitz. I modeled them to be wading through water and painted them like Fire-bellied Newts and their handlers like Fire-bellied Toads.

Saurur & Temple Guard command groups:

All my Saurus will be painted like Iguanas, with the Temple Guard being a little paler. Part 2 will have all my Saurus units finished.

Leaping Lizards!

I finally got a Slann after playing Suarus based lists for so long. It was difficult to decide on how to paint him as I had 3 schemes in mind. In the end I decided to go with all 3 schemes, painting the Slann like a fire-bellied toad, his attendant as a red-eyed treefrog and the little frogs on his palanquin like poison-dart frogs. I also painted the lizards on his palanquin like blue-tailed skinks and the snake as a coral snake.



Did more conversions for Saurus & Skink characters on foot.

Jaguar Charm Saurus & Skink Chief:

All my Suarus characters:

To-Neh of the TygraHuan:

To-Neh of the TygraHuan was spawned in the temple city of Tlaxtlan, City of the Moon. The eve that To-Neh emerged from his spawning pool, the Silver Moon of the world was clouded by a yellow-orange haze. The Skink Priest astromancers of Tlaxtlan saw this as an omen they call TygraHuan, or the Tyger Moon, so named for the cat-like jungle beasts that hunt more fiercely during such celestial events.

Like all Saurus Leaders, To-Neh was spawned alone signifying his destiny as a great warrior. With the Great Catastrophe that brought Chaos into the world and the Chaos Moon, the City of Tlaxtlan dwindled in power. To-Neh lead many small battles to defend the city during these times, but mysteriously disappeared during a TygraHuan.

Legend says that To-Neh was invoked by the TygraHuan to hunt down the minions of Chaos just as the tygers of the jungle hunt their prey, silently stalking them, waiting for the right time to pounce.

Recent tales have begun to speak of a jungle predator stalking the jungles near Tlaxtlan and an increase of the yellow-orange haze causing more TygraHuan events. Some say To-Neh has returned, gathering his army and searching for an long lost treasure that has the power to finally dispel the Chaos Moon so that the astromancers of Tlaxtlan can finally decipher the Old Ones great plan.

UPDATE: I changed my Scar-vet to be magnetized as a Battle Standard bearer, or even an OldBlood on the Horned One. I also altered my jaguar Charm Saurus (new feathers, more decoration on feet, different weapon, etc.

Updated Lizardmen

I got some Skaven Skull from a friend and decided to make use of them:

Skink Priests:

Terradons with eagle-skulled riders:

In preparation for the new book and new Razordon units, I converted my Salamanders to do double duty and be used as Sallie or Razzie packs. I just made them spikey:

I also converted my Stegadons (again) to also function as Engines of the Gods:

And made a skink command for the new Skink/Kroxigor units:
