Lizarmen: SKINK PRIEST I

Hello fellas,

I'm going to show you the novelty I'm painting right now. I'm changing my paint target because if I don't do I'll go crazy.

The model is the skink priest of GW. I love this miniature I think that is the most spectacular model of the lizarmen colletion.

I've painted it totally assembled because I didn't want any post-painted glue mark or something that.

I've undercoated it with skull white with my airbrush, and then all of it painted with normal brush (back to basics on a small model) . Base of temple guard blue, shadowed with a blue ink, and then highlighted with temple guard blue, and adding white to the mixture for the top lights of the model, always with glaze, it means very diluted paint.

In the two first pictures you can see the scales too, painted in base color with scab red.




The next step had been paint brown everything that goes into old gold. After paint it in brown I've painted it with dwarf bronze.


I've added agrax earth shade to the bronze.


Drybrush with boltgun metal, and outlined with mithril silver


I've painted the pens following the GW schema, from orange to green.



I've painted the finger nails and toe nails and the skull on the crook withe bleaches bone, the rubies from black to red and the eyes.






In the next post I'll show you the model ended with one base conrding to the level of the minuature.

I'll post the normal skinks and the skirmishers too.

Thanks for reading, see you soon!

Lizarmen: SKINKS II Movement tray for the skirmishers

Hello fellas! 

Today I'm showing to you my movement tray project for my skirmisher skinks. 

I've did it with three rows, I know the skirmirshers are on two rows not in three, but is an scenic movement tray and I think my opponents will not be diturbed if I play with it.

I've used the GW movement tray, and clay on the border to create the surface that I was looking for.

Then I added sand, stones and I digged the base to recreate the river and holes to put inside the trees. I'm trying to recreate the jungle aspect and I'm close enough.

For the trees I've used aquarium plants, cutted at the size I needed, you can find these plants on your nearest pet shop. 

The plants are something like that: AQUARIUM PLANTS

Well the pictures of the movement tray, I'm proud of it:


In this following pictures you can see white paste, it's the water effects of vallejo that I've presented to you in older posts:



When it dries, it has volume and transparency:



I hope you like it. Next post, ended skinks and ended skirmisher skinks.

Thank you for following me! see you soon!

Lizarmen: SLANN III finished

Good morning people!

I've ended the Slann, you can see the base. I've undercoated with black and then dry brush of grey adding white to mixture for the next layers. Then I've painted with nuln oil ink to create the shadows and hightlited again with a very light drybrush of codez grey. 

When everything was dry I've added the grass (yellow and green grass), I've added sand too painted with brown colors and highlighted with bleached bone and the moss to the base and "voilĂ " and ended Slann base.



Only rest one thing, add the Slann and varnish all the model with vallejo model air mat varnish. Here you are the pictures of ended Slann.

Yes, there is a carrot behind the Slann and no, this is not a part of the model ;)




I hope you like it, this week I'll show you ended skinks and the movement tray for the skirmish skins that I'm preparing at this moment. 

See you soon folks!

Lizarmen: SLANN II

Hello people!

More updates on Slann, well on the base, I've made a stone throne with stargate behind the wizard, using the ancestral parts of stegadon.

Well an image is better than words, isn't it?


I've used modelling stones glued with Loctite. I've put two columns at both sides of the throne and I'll put something  about lizarmen.




I¡ve painted the portal with freehand, I think that it's acceptable, I like it and I think that will be a precious center piece of my army.

Well, see you soon! On the next post, the Slann will be ended.

Lizarmen: SLANN I

Hello fellas!

I know I told you that I was going to post the end of the Skink unit, but Slann come to my hands and I couldn't resist the temptation to paint it, hahaha!

This miniature will be the central piece of m army, so my intention is to paint it the best I can and I hope that it will be enough ;)

First of all, I've removed the burrs on the model, it's a metal model, so I used a modeling scalpel carefully because it's dangerous and it cuts a lot.

After that, I've primed the model with withe primer for airbrush (Vallejo primer premium or something like that). Then I applied the first layer of blue, dark blue, and after that always with airbrush, I applied the following layers adding withe to the mixture as far as you want the top light of the model.


After that, I clean the table and the airbrush and I've started to paint the details, the gold, some more lights on the face to create more contrast with the shadows.


I've painted de pustules and the pimples like that, like something disgusting, he is an ancient wizard, he doesn't care about his aspect. I've added some dark color to the shadows.


Well that's all, on the next post I'll show you the model ended and the base, I have an idea and I hope you will like it.

See you soon!

Lizarmen: SKINKS I

Hi to everyone!

I'm sorry, I was out during 5 months but, I've been working and I hadn't got time to post anything on the blog.

Well, I've changed the subject (enough space marines for a while), now I'm painting Warhammer Fantasy and I want to show you how I'm going on this project, I want reach 2500 points of a lizarmen army and I've started for the basics! One unit of skinks!

Here you are, I'm trying to recreate a scene on every miniature of the army, every unit will be a different scene, but every one of them together when the army it's done will recreate a Lustrian army getting out of the jungle:


The pictures:




Every one of the skinks has one euro penny and the base is magnetized, making the army transport easy!

The water on the bases and the movement tray is Vallejo water effects, it dries in 3 days and get totally transparent creating an excellent water effect.

The Vallejo water:



On the next post I'll show you the unit totally ended, with the shields and the water completely clear. Next project of the army is a Slann and I have a great idea for him!

See you soon!
