A preview of my new team, with which I will kick everyone's butt at the next Dutch Open... Right?

That's a saurus, right?

He looks great.

I hope for you that there will be a painting award again, but if not you'll still be going home with a prize (for finishing last) anyway, so you just can't loose, can you?

PS When does the Saurus Cheerleader with the Scaly Boobs get done?

A Saurus??? Damn!!! I already thought he looked a bit scaly for a Wood Elf Wardancer Razz

Thanks for ruining my day!!! Crying or Very sad

A born winner ey? Cool

To be honest, with Lizardmen I'll be in top condition to be the Worst Player, I have no friggin' clue as to what they're good at (except for being an incredibly unbalanced team that is)

They'll be drag skinks and they'll be wearing coconut boobs (as we all know that frogs don't have those sexy milk machines that lady Orcs come equiped with Rolling Eyes

)
Need some Kleenex?

Ah come on; you have to give the BB community at least one Saurus with boobs; even Gremlins got Boobs (well, one of them in Gremlins 2 at least)

Maybe it's a saurus from a spawning pond in which a warpstone meteor has landed...

The image in my head just looks so funny!

Okay okay, I'll think about it (but warpstone boobs on a creature that's THE sworn enemy of anything Chaotic??? Shocked

)

Perhaps I should look at real life nature... A bloated red ass for the ladies (or was that the Chimpansee way? Laughing

)

Wait a sec... didn't the 2nd edition Slann use lobotomized human eunuchs and allied pygmies in their armies?

great colour sceme

Indigo - May 27, 2003 - 04:30 AM
Post subject:

also, your idea to sketch out and try the different colour schemes was inspired. I'd never thought of trying anything like that, but I will from now on...

Squiggoth - May 27, 2003 - 04:45 AM
Post subject:

Making sketches is often really helpful when you're doing something exotic such as tyranids or lizardmen. Mostly I use references from real wild life but for BB I wanted something more "sixties" in appearance, hence the flashy hippy colours (and orange is the colour of the lizardmen sun god Chotec so these guys are very hot as well! Wink

)

Very cool

but where's the floating Zen-frog head coach, or the Stegadon team bus?

Yes there were human and Pygmie slaves but I think they must have fed them to the Kroxigor. Shocked

Squiggoth - May 27, 2003 - 05:32 AM
Post subject:

My head coach is probably gonna be a Skink Priest (that's cheaper than a big fat frog on a flying toilet seat Wink

), but perhaps I've got an old Stegadon (team bus conversion kit) lying around somewhere (or maybe I turned that one into a Fantasy Battle Squiggoth... Confused

)

Tssssk... You Person Who Does Not Read Fluff! Wink

I used gold because Lizardmen live in Lustria which has an abundance of gold, bronze and copper and they use these metals instead of iron because
- Bronze and the other yellow metals can easily be hammered into shape
- Iron has to be melted and frogs don't like huge furnaces
- Lustria is mainly tropical rainforest so any iron would turn rusty before you can say "ribbit"...
- Bronze would turn green in a rainforest and green looks good on frogs (I still gotta do a green glaze over the gold Idea

)
So that's why!

Squig, your mini's make me react with despair and remorse when I look at my own work. It's amazing - please keep posting!

Melifaxis - Jun 06, 2003 - 02:52 PM
Post subject:

Indeed! I eagerly anticipate your painting guide so I can at least experience marginal improvement with each figure I paint.

Mmmz... Indigo should have my Orc painting guide up and running already...?

Indigo - Jun 10, 2003 - 02:11 AM
Post subject:

It's been submitted, edited and should be on the site for others to see soon. IMO it's fantastic and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on your lizardmen one.

I usually get all nostalgic when a new line comes out, But I'm really digging the new Godzilla lizards. Twisted Evil

Post subject:

Yeah, the new lizzies are cool but I've stopped the frog project for a few weeks (months) because I've been working on plastic/green stuff flesh golems - I already got one finished Cool

Flesh Golems look cute you know Wink

Not yet... I´m doing some next week I guess. Basically theyre Orc torso´s on Marauder legs with a Zombie head and green stuff enlarged cranium with stitches. Easy does it. The colour scheme will be Undead Cucumber (you should have seen the Cucumber Chaos Dwarfs at the M@tHobbit Massacre Cool

)

Love your orc guide but would you ever do a this is how to REALLY paint your lizzy team guide? Smile

I'm working on painting my lizzies and like was said earlier in this post your work makes my painting look like a 3 year old with a set of finger paints.
