May the Lizards Rise [Lizardmen, Eldar]

A random Tomb King has appeared

Happy New Year! ~

New Years Resolution: More painting, More Wargaming. 

One cannot win a battle with skinks only. Thus, whilst waiting on my paint order to arrive I have been working on my Temple Guard - unit, consisting of 10 models. The squad consists of a musician, a champion, a banner-bearer and rest of the models are warriors. I am painting them in 2 parts, shield on its own and the rest of the model pre-assembled. I used airbrush to paint their skin blue (same colours as used for Skinks), rest is done by hand. Will next start working on the finer details.

Dry brush & first wash done

I started painting the shields before I even managed to bother getting my airbrush out for the lizards themselves. I have done a layer of brown, painted the bone-parts with Ceramic White (managing to get it on some of the brown parts, too, will be fixing later), and finally did a wash on the entire shield with Agrax Earthshade. I will be later adding more details to the shields and dry brushing the skulls and other bone- decorations with Ushabti Bone -colour.

Skull-shrinkers in action (or dead Tomb Kings...)

While I was working on my Lizardmen, I couldn't help doing 2 paint layers of my Wraithknight's body; first with Caliban Green, followed by Warpstone Glow. I will next begin highlights with a lighter shade of green, together with a darker wash. I will also paint the joints and several other areas black (they got green during airbrushing) and the helm white & black. I used far more green paint to get an even layer on the model than I had expected - will be adding another pot of Warpstone Glow to my order...

Still a long way to go...

...But he does already look better

Next time: Will New Year's Resolution hold? If so, expect so see some Lizards, and Eldar. If not. Expect the same. Maybe Wraithknight will even reclaim his arms, and weapons!
