Seriously such a gorgeous sculpt, a real joy to paint.

Omg it's been a while, but I finally got some painting done!!

I've been working on my Kro-Jax a lil over the past couple days, and I'm really pleased so have a WIP!

Instead of albinism, I decided to make her rly weathered and pale, like she's extremely old. Also, 2nd time trying NMM!!

Also cos I was photographing them both, here's Elster catching a ride on my stegadon lol
#Signalis
Photograph depicting a "75mm scale" kitbashed Elster Mini from Signalis, sat on top of a classic metal stegadon from Warhammer fantasy that I happened to be working on at the same time. She doesn't seem nearly as thrilled as I would be to be sitting on a pint-sized dinosaur, but I suppose she misses her wide so I understand

A long-awaited but small update on my #signalis Elster diorama!
I didn't touch it for a few months bc I was pretty unhappy with the quality of my sculpting, I lacked both tools and experience
But I got some super fine-grit sandpaper and smoothed out my mistakes on the legs/chest and repainted!
Photograph depicting a kitbashed "75mm" Elster miniature from Signalis. It's been extremely heavily customised from an entirely different mini to look as much like her as possible. Specifically the legs and chest plate in these images were modelled from milliputt, and had serious problems with rough surfaces and irregular shapes on account of me doing it entirely with my fingers and without vaseline to prevent fingerprinting and adhesion to my fingers. They have now been sanded down with fine-grit sandpaper, cleaned and repainted to provide a much better finish. Details can now be painted on top to show the ties etc. Photograph depicting a kitbashed "75mm" Elster miniature from Signalis.

As a little add-on, I posed her next to my other finished seraphim minis!
Photograph depicting a classic metal stegadon, next to a classic metal skink priest, a unit of kroxigor and a unit of aggradon riders from Warhammer. The classic models are from the old warhammer fantasy range, the others are from Age of Sigmar. The fully painted riders, kroxigor and skink are teal/green, with more vibrant green on the smaller, softer skink and more blue-green on the larger, heavily armoured kroxigor. The kitbashed skirts of the stegadon are teal, to match the scheme of the other seraphim, on account of being otherwise albino

Update on my classic stegadon!
Still really pleased with the albino skin, but I also made good progress on the fabric and the framework on the back!

Lots to do, but the animal itself is nearly finished! I think the base will try to look ornate without much ruin, but that's still to be decided!

Classic stegadon WIP!
After sage advice from @sparklenaut.bsky.social I decided to make it an albino!
I wanted to make this a venerable old beastie, not just worshipped but loved by its handlers

Bc it's like half the size of an AoS steg, I'll be playing this on the table as a spawn of chotec

While waiting for milliputt to set on my classic stegadon project, I decided to repaint an old skink priest I liberated from my childhood home!!
Honestly this has to be one of my all time favourite minis and def my favourite old lizardmen mini, it's so cute and characterful!
New colour scheme too~

The weapon is, predictably, covered in red blood. Photograph depicting a classic metal skink priest with a Macuahuitl.

Last night and this morning I began remaking new armour and skirting for my beloved steggy. In keeping with the spirit of things I used exclusively old bits from my lizardmen/stegadon kits to make the armour. The skirts are milliputt, and look a little less shitty in person.
Photograph depicting replacement armour pieces of the stegadon from previous posts in this thread, next to the removed pieces from the original model. The head plate is built from 2 head frills from the temple guard kit sanded down and glued together, while the cheek plates are the crest on top of the aggrodon chargers kit, cut in half and sanded down. Photograph depicting the new skirts for the stegadon next to the old ones. They're slightly bigger, thinner, more well-squared and have a double-layer at the top, but do look a little leathery as a result of difficulties in modelling cleanly.

Next was removing the old paint! Anyone familiar with GW's old metal minis knows how hard they were to paint, and 10 yo me didn't know about primer, so I instead employed industrial quantities of paint
This caused issues with removal, but should be good enough to paint over
Photograph depicting a mostly paint-stripped stegadon, now bare of almost all the custom decorations. Paint remains on the recesses of the body and the frill, where an attempt to paint a vivid red-and-yellow threat display has been painted over judiciously with about half a mm of dark green (I believe old Dark Angels Green) Photograph depicting a mostly paint-stripped stegadon, now bare of almost all the custom decorations.

First thing I did was remove the old armour/skirting and the "altar"... all of it was, of course, modelled from sparkly gold fimo (oven-bake clay)
It did crumble a bit, but tbh it's not the end of the world bc I'm not planning to reuse any of it
Photograph depicting the removed decorations from the stegadon in the previous post. One of the skirts has crumbles during removal. Lack of paint in a lot of areas show that the impatient child built the model (using sparkly gold clay) before painting any of it.

Secured this classic metal stegadon from my childhood home!!
I'd modelled it based off a gorgeous stegadon kitbash from the old lizardmen collector's guide, and was extremely proud of it at the time as my first freehand
These days... I'm more critical lol

So I've decided to revamp it!

Going away for a couple weeks so I couldn't finish my saurus, but here's a WIP!
Seeing as I wasn't using the scar vet shield and I adore it, I gave it to the champion instead. She's more painted than the rest, and I'm really happy with the gemstone effect on the weapon!

I painted some dinosers!!
I can't believe I actually preordered this kit, and yet only now, like a year later, did I actually paint them
For the longest time I couldn't decide on a good scheme for the saurus, but I'm really happy with what I chose!!
Time to learn AoS...
