Lizardmen WIP
After painting my woodies now I'm working on some lizardmen.
I was not sure to go the realistic skin or fantasy skin route. At the end I went for a more realistic tone.
Yesterday I finished painting the 1st saurus (color test one) and I like the result.
Now I'm working in the next batch, here you have them with the base color applied.
Miniatures are sarcos from Greebo. Very nice sculpts with many details.
I'm leaving the bases for the last stage. I've purchased some nice ancient temple bases from Micro Art Studio.
Comments are welcome!

Very nice painting you've done there.

Hadn't realized it quite at first, but I have to agree with blocknroll. Excellent workmanship on them, but not sure I like the aesthetic of the base model. The croc look is a bit jarring for a player I think of an dinosaur-based.
(nothing I paint ever comes out looking half so good though) :D

While it takes a little getting used to, the croc look is growing on me as it adds a different flavor to the team.
Aside from that the paint job is excellent. I'm sure no matter what the base model is you'd find a way to make it look great!

Aye, I prefer the Hasslefree minatures Devanu models for saurii (http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/range.php?range_id=64&subcat_id=72), but the painting is awesome.

Very nice work. What colors did you use on the base coat? I have this team waiting to be painted and wanted to go with the more realistic look. I have delayed because I was not sure where to start for layer 1. I use the typical 4 layer paint method.

@BCH
I primed the miniature grey with Tamiya grey primer spray.
Then I used the following colors from Vallejo:
For the Scales
Basecoat: Bronze Green
1st Highlight: Reflective Green
2nd Highlight: 50% Reflective Green + 50% Lime Green
3rd Highlight: Lime Green
For the skin
1st I applied a watered coat with Bronze Grey (at the same time I painted the scales base coat) mostly to assure a smooth transition between scales and skin and to cover al the primer coat.
Basecoat: Green Brown
1st Highlight: 66% Green Brown + 33% Green Grey
2nd Highlight: 50% Green Brown + 50% Green Grey
3rd Highlight: Green Grey
Hope it helps you!
