AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 12: More skinks!

Five new Skinks brings this little Skink regiment up to a full 10 models at last! More pics below the jump.

WIPs – What's Hek Up To in Late 2019?

It's been a busy year for my hobby desk! I've gotten full into the hobby butterfly style and have several things on the go at once, so here's what's in the pipeline that I'm planning to finish before the end of the year.

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 11: Slann Mage Priest complete

The centerpiece of my Relic Lizardmen, a crucual part of their lore, and my biggest attempt at sculpting from scratch, the mummified Slann Mage Priest is complete at last.

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 10: Salamanders complete

To add some dinosaurian flavour to my Relic Lizardmen, I painted up four lead Ral Partha sculpts that are older than me. As medium-sized quadruped dinosaur creatures, I guess these can count as Salamanders!

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 9: Skinks complete

Well it's been a little while since we last saw these guys. Here's a unit of five Relic Lizardmen Skinks plus their commanding Skink Priest, complete at long last. Way more pics below the jump:

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 8: Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One complete

In the rainforests of Hysh there are great pools of green water miles in length, with banks as sheer and straight as roads. And they border cyclopean stone walls just as green, with age and moss and algae. And along the walls can be seen carvings of reptilian heads, and statues that are neither man nor beast. And the calls of unseen animals in the jungle seem to carry the cadence of spoken words, as if a language unintelligible to men.

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 7: Sauruses Complete

At long last the Relic Sauruses are complete! It feels like I started these in prehistoric times!

WIPs – What's Hek Up To?

???

Been a little while since I posted a complete project so I'm gonna do something I haven't done for a while and drop an update with some WIPs. Here's what's on my desk right now...

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 6: Slann

The final addition to my Relic Lizardmen army for now: the very Slann who led their ancestors through the Winding Gate to safety from the end of the Old World. He's looking worse for wear these days.

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 5: Salamanders

Some gribbly prehistoric beasts join the Relic Lizardmen, thanks to some vintage Ral Partha models.

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 4: Skinks

A million years in the hot rainforests of Hysh agreed nicely with the Skinks' fast metabolism. The Lizardman subspecies saw an evolutionary explosion of different forms. Here's six...

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 3: Saurus Scar Veteran

My previous Relic Lizardmen post got an amazing response so let's move straight on to the next guy: a Saurus Scar Veteran on Cold One...

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 2: Sauruses

In some corners of Hysh they say there are creatures that are thought elsewhere to have been wiped out at the great extinction of the Old World. In some places in Hysh, those digging the foundations for castles or pits for graves find bones so old they have turned to stone, and the gossips say that those fossils match the shape of the creatures they have seen, very much alive...

Age of Sigmar - Relic Lizardmen

Since there's some Lizardish rumblings coming from Games Workshop, I'm gonna reveal an Age of Sigmar project I've had on the backburner for a few months: Relic Lizardmen. While AoS's Seraphon are their own thing, and Daemons of Order is a cool idea, I'm aiming with this project to rehabilitate the Lizardmen of Lustria as gribbly monster-people: dinosaurian, antediluvian, insectile, chimeric, malarial, amphibian, bug-eyed, hexapodal, photosynthetic, piscine, exotic, Mesozoic, grotesque, earthy. Unlike the Chaotic beastmen, the Relic Lizardmen aren't mutants but an evolving and proliferating species of terriffic biodiversity. That doesn't jibe with being made of starlight and moonbeams, so instead these Lizardmen are a remnant group, living fossils that survived the destruction of the Old World.
