This is the recently out of production metal model that has been in my collection for almost 5 years with no love at all.

After the new Lizardmen models came out in the fall I felt even more guilty for never finishing this lizard-hero.

I had forgot how heavy metal monsters were until I started working on this beast especially since he is so long it made it rather difficult to hold his base and paint either end.

Color-wise I used to color and pattern of the new kit as I liked the contrast and organic feel of the stripes.

It allowed me to color out side the lines a bit and not worry about it.

The fleshy color was simply the Flesh wash over white primer.

The breath weapons just got a boost with 8th edition as well now that every thing is hit that touches the flame template, and with the increase in large units this could potentiality do monstrous damage I almost always run the unit as a pair to get redundancy in shooting as well as close combat.

Inevitably one of the salamanders will decide to get hungry at the wrong moment and eat a skink instead of frying up that nice, juicy enemy unit, but hopefully both wont decide to do the same and some fire can still be thrown.

I often spend the extra 10 points to add two more handlers as well since the pesky salamanders seem to take a liking to skink flesh.

Fortunately it only takes 1 skink to keep both beasts in line so even if I lose the other 7 August 12, 2010 Leave a comment Fantasy Finished Works Lizardmen Lizardmen Stegadon old school style Published by Joe B Some more old-school lizard goodness Ranking as the hardest to-hold-together model, the OOP Stegadon displays the main of the issues with metal models: size cost, higher cost less margin, less margin unhappy stock holders.

Once I get around to buying the new plastic kit Ill have to take a picture of them side-by-side but I am willing to guess that the old stegadon is at least half the size of the new one.

Then you have the howdah, not only is it so small it is hard to fit even 5 skinks in there, but it connects to the stegadon at a very small point, causing it to break off time, and time again which is part of the reason I hardly ever play with the model.

Tactic wise I have had mixed results with the Stegadon in 7th edition and not sure how well it will work at all in 8th with the changes to many of the rules.

The basic stegadon (which is the only one Ive used) is simply August 8, 2010 Leave a comment Fantasy Lizardmen Saurus Warriors The Lizardmen Pillars Published by Joe B The Saurus Warriors are the backbone of the Lizardmen army.

With toughness of 4 and a 4 save they can take pretty good beating and even once they do it is hard to fail a leadership test of 8 using the cold blooded rule.

With two attacks at strength 4 they are also a great unit on the offence as well.

They attract the attention of the larger enemy units while my Skinks run around and pick off monsters and the like while the cold one calvary take a flank.

Currently both of my units are armed with only hand weapons but for 20 more points I could add 4 more attacks from the unit, something Ill have to consider for the next unit build.

One of the things that I found really helpful for my units is to magnetize the base which keeps the banner bearer from falling over and troops from flying August 5, 2010 Leave a comment Fantasy Finished Works Lizardmen Skink Heroes Published by Joe B Skink heroes seem to be often looked in favor or the mightier Suarus Scar-Vets or used only as Slann sight-glasses.

With their movement of 6 they can get where they are needed quickly and with 3 attacks at I6 and S4 they will often strike the first blows against their intended target.

Add in the Bane head to double wounds on a specific character and the Burning Blade to punch through armor and even the little skink can take much larger foes down.
