The Earth Trembles!

The Stegadon approaches!

So the Stegadon is done. Mark that off the goals list for this month. I ahve been doing really well on the list for my VSF forces this month, but need to concentrate more on the WarHemorrhage side of the coin. I have been distracted by demands for BattleMechs, as well, and painted two of them so far this month (an old Phoenix Hawk and a Panther, if you care.) Here's the Panther:

Note the Talabheim color scheme - not an accident!

More Miragliani Marksmen...

I won five packs of these for $25! They should arrive in the next week or so. Not too shabby, I think.

Quick update:

I've been busy working on terrain as well. I have some new rock outcroppings and cliffs that are nearly finished. Also, I found some apple trees on clearance at Hobby Lobby, so there is a four tree orchard on the way. Finally, I have been working on a new canvas mat for the table top, suitable for Empire battles. Sadly, I really messed up on the first one. It will be transformed into a Martian landscape. The second one looks better, but is too dark - more like a jungle than European fields and such. Fine for Lustria and Venus, but not what I wanted for the Empire. So try number three is coming up in the next month or so.

Finally, I have nearly finished the Lizardman Stegadon (old metal version). The crew just needs a little touch-up and then to be glued in place in the howdah.

No work on Empire. Well, almost none. I started the last six flagellants. So far, just the flesh has been painted. Like I said, not much. I got a new pot of paint to help vary the dark reds of their robes.

Next week is Spring Break. I hope to get a lot of painting done

The Lizards of Lustria - In the Beginning...

...there were lizards. Then the frogs (Slaan) worked their diabolical mage-science on them, and made Lizardmen. Not satisfied with that, they made different types: Saurus, and Skinks, and even Kroxigor.

When it was decided we would forge a path back into Warhammer, I knew we had to have a Lizardman army.

"Why?" you may ask?

Simple. I already own quite a few, all painted up and ready to go. They can pull double duty for me: Venusian lizardmen for my VSF Universe and Lustrian skins, saurus, etc. for Warhammer. Being a cheapskate, I think that is great.

At this time, I have the following already painted (*indicates the unit includes a champion):

• 1x Saurus on Cold One, black and red
• 9x Saurus warrior, black and red (plastic)
• 7x Skink archer, green blue and yellow (plastic)
• 10x Skink javelins, red and pink*
• 10x Skink javelins, dk. blue and lt. blue*
• 10x Skink archer, green and yellow (plastic)*
• 10x Skink archer, red and orange (plastic)*

As far as the unpainted ones go:

• 1x Stegadon
• 2x Skink champions
• 1x Skink champion (plastic, 6 ed.)
• 12x Skink spears
• 6x Skink drummers
• 1x Skink totem bearer
• 10x Saurus warriors (plastic)
• 2x Saurus spearmen
• 22x Skink archers (plastic)
• 1x Skink warchief (triceraton skull helmet)
• 1x Saurus Cold One rider
• 3x Saurus Temple Guard command (hero, standard, music)

Somewhere I have some more Skink totem bearers that I have modified to be hauling really big clubs, but I am not sure how many. Five, maybe. And, I think, a Skink shaman. Need to dig those out.
