About the Project
So i have been playing Warhammer since 4th ed but really came into it through 5th. Then i came to the realisation i have some 5th ed Bretonnians and have been gifted some Lizardmen which is basically the starter set. So i decided to start collecting the 5th ed starter set and relive some of my favourite days playing Warhammer as a teen. I may even add in some modern bitz to add to the look, the modelling opportunities in this new age are endless, i cant wait.

Update on the Kroxigor - Basing
Using an Aztec GSW roller I’ve made some ruined temple bases with overgrown vines for the Kroxigor and Slann base.
I seem to be getting less time to hobby during this lockdown period which sucks as my plastic pile has been accumulating for years just for this moment!
Command Figures
So whilst speed painting the Saurus took a little longer than speed painting the skinks, the command elements are taking forever! There is so much detail on these models is crazy!
I have almost completed the Standard bearer and the drummer, next i’ll tackle the champion who happens to have lost his arm at the moment which is why i’ll do him seperately. On the plus side its a good excuse to use bright clolours. Im sticking with red, purple and yellow as my three colours to tie in the army.
Got to start thinking how im going to tackle the slann, i’ll probably make him red though i cant see how i’m going to make it work just yet.
Another Skink Unit - This time with Javelins
While ive been waiting to finish off my saurus unit, specifically their shields and basing, ive started the second skink unit. These are the first of a 20 strong unit.
Need to neaten these up a lot but the base colours are down for now. Might base these up with the saurus as they are near to being finished.
Trying to keep the focus and get the army done. Almost 2.5 units done!
Flocking brilliant bases
Reserving a post about basing with a flockbox
Add link to place that sells it
Add link to flock seller
2mm flock for general base use
4mm flock for tufts
1mm coloured flock for adding to the tops of tufts to make flowers
1st step, pva covered base and tufts/rocks added
Set up flock box, models on box and sieve at the ready
Box on and 2mm flock dropped onto the sieve then shake over the models
Turn box off and tap off excess flock
Some Skink Examples
once dry (leave overnight) paint the rocks grey and lightly brush pva onto any tufts that are to be flowers, then sprinkle 1mm coloured flock on the tuft, tapping off any excess.The Saurus
The Saurus are next up for some contrasty goodness. They are turning out to be a lot more involved than the skinks though as they have scales! Also the addition of a shield and more detailed weapon means i have to be more detailed.
However theyre nearly done, the command will take a while but if i can get the other 17 basic saurus done ill be halfway complete.
Ill try and do a post on using the flockbox and the basing as the first attempt was a bit of an experiment.
