Following on from last week's Mounted Lizardmen, I have now completed a foot unit of 17 x Lizardmen Warriors to accompany them.
 |
| The completed Lizardman Unit, with a Hero to lead them |
As you would expect after such a long time, they have suffered form lack of care and attention, I had built the figures and undercoated them but taken the project no further. A number of the figures' weapons were broken and for the blue 'hero' figure the shield arm was missing altogether.
 |
| Close-up on the 'Hero', I opted for a blue and green colour scheme to this guy to imply he was as made of the same stuff as the Cold Ones... |
Also waiting for a new supply of shields held me up last week but these arrived on Tuesday and were painted and added to the figures after they were completed.
 |
| The other side of the Hero figure... |
The missing arm issue was solved by finding a spare arm (albeit from a large goblin figure!), I took the view that as there would be a large shield over this arm - it not being the original lizardman arm did not matter - as it was not on show.
 |
| First of four batches of Lizardmen, second left had a broken weapon so replaced this with part of a Goblin sword |
There were also a number for broken weapons, for which I had no spares, luckily, I was able to these four items from suitable parts from other figures in the spares box!
 |
| Again second left had a broken weapon, replaced by a Bill head from an old Warhammer Bretonian figure. |
So for these guys I did the same paint scheme as the riders in last week's post, yellowish underbellies and green scales and hide. The painting technique was exactly as described last time.
 |
| A good view of the shields, pressed into service here |
The other casualty was the unit standard, which I have had to rebuild from scratch basis some old designs I saw on the internet, I did not have one of the snake like totems to hand.
 |
| The command group, with scratch made standard, the two end figures also have repaired weapons |
What I saw on the internet was a number that involved a lot of feathers, which I was able to source from a boxed set of Warlord Landsknechts! As these are cold blooded lizardmen, I thought it was OK for them to add the head of a fallen rival as the centrepiece of their standard! This unfortunate was clearly from another 'tribe'?! as the head is red and yellow in colour.
