Lizardman Team: First Painted Saurus

With the skinks for my Lizardman team, the Scavengers of Scape Ore, completed, I've turned my attention towards painting the Sauri for the team. Here's a look at the first Saurus player that I've finished (except that I need to add a few tufts of grass to the base). I decided to keep the sauri painted with the same green-yellow color scheme that I used for my skinks where the scales are green and the underbelly is a vibrant yellow. I like how the yellow adds a bit of visual pop to the miniature and will hopefully make them somewhat unique on the table-top.

Lizardman Team: Skinks

These skinks are the first players that I've completed for my Lizardman team, the Scavengers of Scape Ore. I will be playing this team in my local Blood Bowl league's summer season. The models are those from the resin Sarcos Team #2 from Impact! Miniatures which I posted about previously. In general, the quality of these resin casts is pretty good, but I did find a few issues on some of the small details with the skinks (baby crocs). Most noticeably, the figure with an outstretched hand had a finger missing on both of the copies that I received. Despite the casting flaws, the sculpts are nice and show a lot of personality. And, at just $35USD for a whole team they're an undeniably good value. I had a lot of fun painting them. I kept a consistent green and yellow scheme for my rostered skinks and painted one skink in a yellow-brown scheme to use as a journeyman when necessary.

Pro Elf Team

Here are a few images of the Pro Elf team that I've been playing my Blood Bowl league's current Chaos Cup season. I was snapping a few pictures this morning of the Lizardman team that I've started working on, and figured that I would post these elves while I was at it.

I didn't obsess over every detail on the paint job that I did for this Elf Team. In general, I'm a slow painter because I try to take time with all the details on a figure. I also have trouble finding consistent time to paint so I end up having to relearn techniques and how I pulled off certain effects. For this project, my intention was to develop some quick, fairly repeatable techniques to be able to produce tabletop quality paint jobs. I wanted to try and paint the team as rapidly as I could while still not being ashamed of the final product that I was putting on the table. They are not likely to win any painting awards, but I think I achieved the goal of making some game-quality players ready for the pitch.
