Lord XtOlaf and his Fire Tribe

[fatolaf]

This has been part of my PLOG on warseer which has been running for 2 years or so.
Just going to put my upto date LM army on here..

[fatolaf]

Today I started with the Sallies...



The I finished the scales on all the sallies..



And based, washed (love that stuff) with sepia and did the eyes on the handlers...



Tomorrow, the plan is to finish the Sallie unit and then play around with my ideas for the bases for my LM army. Lots of broken statues, jungle growth and put the swarms to some use (now that the unit is now useless)...

[fatolaf]

So nearly finished them, just the bases to do and fingernails on the skink handlers...

Looking good mate nice and colourful, at least this plog is no longer pretending to be a VC one!

[fatolaf]

Exactly, thought I would give it a new lease of life on here.
Sorry about the scroll bars on the pics, but we are working on making the forum 
wider

[fatolaf]

So with just the bases to finish, here's a sneak peek at the unit...

The skink handlers, finished



and the Sallies, with the bases to finish

Unit finished

I have been building the new terries, which have proved to be a nightmare, worse than the last ones. Why they did not make them in plastic, I will never know.

Greenstuff and multiple pinning a go go. I am going to use 2 of the old models because I seriously wont have time to build 2 more of the new ones...



I have 2 wings to go on two of the models, so I have done a bit more than what's in the picture..

The bases will be ruined temple combined with lots of foliage to represent their new Arboreal predator rule (Love that rule)...



The ranked up skinks will be marching down temple steps, whilst the Saurus will be on cobbled temple bases. The skirmishers will be in the undergrowth.
The colour scheme will be in my fire god theme, with yellow skinks, orange terradons and red Saurus (the older the creature, the darker the colour), so it should look good and different... Only thing is Time is not on my side...:eek:

However this will then leave me just under a month to upgrade the force to 750 pts for the Doubles GT, which means one of these bad boys will need painting up..

[fatolaf]

Right with the Terries built, I thought I would start the painting with the saurus, complete with magnetic temple base..

My saurus being the older members of the tribe are red, so I set about base coating with Foundation paint..



And then washing, and basic highlighting, followed by a basecoat for the shields..

[fatolaf]

I then went about making magnetic, temple cobbled bases for the Saurus and a textured movement tray (complete with some suitable decorations).
This tray was lined with a steel sheet and magnetic strips on the underside, so the whole thing will be fully portable..





The bases were scored and then drybrushed to look like old temple cobbles, complete with moss growing in the 'grouting'
Movement tray is drybrushed to look like stone, I might add some vegetation, or I might not........
