The Croc is just base coat so far , green to follow . The Sharkman is one of the Bones/ Reaper figures . I saw one on a shelf in the back ground of the BOW set on one of the weekenders ( might be what Warren calls his Sharkarasaurous  ?) a long while go  , thought it looked cool , and finally  found one down at the LHS .  I adjusted his arms bit ,a little trimming , some green stuff on the joints , paint  & done . I then based him on one of the new  GW  40 x 52mm oval bases ,used a Vallejo ground cover paste to blend in the base ( worked a treat ) added those new GW plastic spiky plants and a misshapen metal skull . Although very sci fi and spiky those GW plants paint up nice , I’ve added some along with other plastic plant / shrub types to  my Japanese foxholes , they look very tropical / jungle if you don’t paint them too   garish  if know what I mean  .  Sure bring on the Gnome puns , I’ve been getting them from co workers and my kids  all month .  But actually  it’s another relaxing change from full on historical builds ,  paint and decals . Sometimes you just need to have fun with the hobby  . Next up , my Mum wants me to repaint a 40 plus year old wooden decoy Mallard duck …… fun times ahead …fun times
