Yahtzee!

Yup, that's five!  Oh, and  Krios thrown in for the heck of it.

I have been furiously prepping the other 'smaller' figures that are part of the army.  Scraping mould lines, scrubbing mould release... the usual Forgeworld delights.

I am looking forward to some smaller stuff!  It's been a lot of mega figs lately.

I don't know what these guys do in an actual game, but it must be interesting to run across this many on a battlefield at once! :-)

Baby Babo and the legion of SKINK!

Yes, more skinks!  Believe it or not, there used to be even more!

I do have tons of skinks sitting around, however.  My threat of making a 100 skink unit still stands :-)

As I mentioned before, I loved these little Skrox units.  They had all kinds of flexibility, and not all that many points.

If you wanted to put in a Skink Chief surprise, well, that just made it more fun :-)

The third small unit was red and purple, I believe.

And here is Baby Babo, as I used to call him, with lots of his little buddies!

Comet of Cassandora, here we come!

Boom!

Songs from the wood...

Here's something fun!  Very nice wood pieces from Markshire Studios:

As you can see, there's a wide variety of very special wood types to choose from.

I have to figure out some special things to do with these... that preserves all the wonderful textures and wood grains!

There are probably a few minis that I can just use as a base...

Perhaps I can also combine some of the tree bark and mica bases with these.  I had even thought of having a sculpted tree growing out from one of these.

To get an idea of scale and size, I put a 28mm figure in the image.

So, off to find some fun things to do with these fantastic wood pieces!

Seeing spots

I was working on a few camo patterns for late war German vehicles.  One of them was the mottled, spotty pattern.

I had loads of fun with them!

Secret Weapon washes have been very handy for shading and tinting these.

And for some comparisons next to the regular gray early war scheme.

More fun to be had!

A preview of some of the upcoming patterns...

Sallies and Skinks, oh my!

The Salamander units were another fun set of figures to paint.  As always, I loved to create a lot of color variety in my Lizardman army!

Plus, it was handy to distinguish one Salamander from another, since they had multiple wounds.  And had a tendency to munch on Skink handlers.  Especially if you were me.

I loved making the movement trays as well!

The regular movement trays for standard ranked units could only allow some fiddling around the perimeter.   Here, I could go wild!

Ready to light somebody on fire!

Gathered around a Lizardman Totem

And on green!  I thought this would be fun as well.

Oh yeah, and my scratch sculpted swarms!

I think I made about a dozen of those for one of our special scenarios.

Let's add some Skinks with blowpipes!

Pointy pointy darty darty...

And that makes five!

Finally, the last of the Castellax!

A little different set of markings this time, just for fun.

Some glowy stuff...

A peek at the Five!

More ladies

From the Wild West Exodus Wayward Eight set, we have a certain companion.

Here she is:

I am still getting used to painting the "regular" Wild West miniatures at this point.  Up until now, I had painted the equivalent of 6 or 7 vehicles. :-)

I have a set of regular Lawmen under way, and I am hoping to get those in playable condition so that we can get to some battle reports for you!
