Lost World Project Glitterwolf Paints Coldblooded Creatures and Conquistadores

[Glitterwolf]

I will paint and create a Reptilian Army pure for fun.

 

It will consists of many different kind of Reptiles and Amphibians.

Mostly Snakemen, Lizardmen, Frogmen, Dragonmen, Turtlemen, Fishmen, Dinosaurs and Insects.

 

I will happily include any monster I think will fit.

A Tarrasque will be the centrepiece at some sort as the Living Lizard God.

 

I do not play any games, so this will be pure for my own and (I hope your)  fun to create.

 

EDIT: The above was my original plan, over time and thanks to the comments made by other Forumites, this has developed into a story.

          This resulted in more Factions I wanted to build and paint, so this Project now also includes Pirates, Conquistadores, Native Warriors based on Inca/Aztec/Maya cultures.

 

EDIT: And now it will also include Undead!

 

***********

 

Captain Luigiano and his army had been travelling through the jungle for weeks now.

The sunlight was blocked by the dense canopy of trees.

Some of the men had contracted fever, and those darn mosquitos were a big nuisance!

 

He looked at the golden plaque he had obtained.

Gold, with a snakeman made out of gems on it.

With this he had convinced the men to follow him.

Somewhere in this accursed jungle there was a city made of gold, he was sure of it.

 

They would conquer this city and become rich beyond belief.

He looked at his army, they even had a few cannons.

Nothing would stop them!

 

Finally they reached a clearance.

The men were pleased, at least they could see the sun again.

They took a rest and a drink, tended to the sick.

 

Suddenly they heard a loud roar from the other side of the clearing.

Birds flew away, trees where falling!

 

Some poison darts flew and two soldiers fell, they died before they hit the ground.

A loud roar and an enormous terrifying Lizard appeared.

One soldier died out of fear from just looking at it.

 

Then the Reptilian Horde emerged from the Jungle.

These minis I already painted a while ago.

 

They will be part of the army too.

Not the Imp, but the Lizard will.

And this one might, I'm thinking of adding some Marilith.

I will collect a lot...Bones III is ordered and will bring me The Jungle Titan, Plant Dragon, Jungle Plants, Froghemoth and Dagon and a Werecroc among other things.

 

Here is what I have already.

 

Not sure if all will be used, I'm still thinking about the Ice Devil and such things.

If I do I might also add an Ankheg and more insectlike Critters.

 

Here we have a DSA T-Rex, Bones and Metal Dragonmen, The Brood Dragon, Reptus Lizardmen, Lizardmen, DSA Gatorman, Frogmen, all kinds of Snakemen, Mariliths and Snakes, Axebeak.

Brood of Payanak and an Othsworn Armadillo in Inca gear which would make a nice addition.

 

I believe many Jungle Animals will join this army out of fear or necessity.

And more of the lot.

That's what I have so far.

 

Any ideas or comments are welcome.

 

 

Turtles and Dragon Turtle, Spiders and little creatures, Fishmen, Skhorne Titanbeast, Ice Devil and Khanjira.

Oh and a GW Stegadon and Terradons ( Metal/no riders) are on their way too.

Also I still have a monitor lizard familiar somewhere.

 

The Idea Is to build regiments. Maybe mixed or each species it's own regiment.

Must think about it.

 

Monsters and such sometimes as Unit fillers sometimes as units on their own.

 

Little scenes as unit fillers

 

And lots of different colours.

HOORAY FOR BIG PROJECTS! This has a lot of potential for an ongoing creation of MONUMENTAL proportions...if you feel like it.

As a long time painter of "armies", for myself, but mostly for other Folk, I'm looking forward to your progress...I love Group Photos.

Have FUN with it all!

[Chaoswolf]

Very awesome!!!!

 

I look forward to seeing this unfold.

[ub3r_n3rd]

AROOOOOOOOO!!! Excited for this project!

[Sirithiliel]

*flails*

Dinosaurs are warm blooded!! 

=P looking forward to what you do

I know I know...

 

But the Lizards, Frogs and Snakes will be the majority of the Army.

The Dinos will be the eyecatchers I hope.

 

Oh, And SIri...I LOVE your Dino paintings and the Carnosaur you're painting.

 

I wished there were a few good 28mm feathered Dinos out there,

Like a feathered T-Rex.

 

For now it will have to be the Fantasy Style Dino without feathers.

 

I've lately ordered a lot more minis and bases.

All for this fun army.

 

Prepping and painting starts today.

 

( slow...because I also have the nativity set, the Countess and a Dragon Hatchling on the table)

 

Hope to show some progress later this day.

**** START!!!***

 

 

So I will start the project with a mini I have had for decades...

:

This is a T-Rex from DSA, Das Schwartze Auge ( The Dark Eye ). The Mini is Called : The Devourer.

 

He is kinda big so instead of any unit filler, this one will be a solo Monster.

 

I will use predominantly square bases for the Army, but I did have some Oval and round Jungle bases already.

This is a 60mm Microart Studio Base.

 

I figured it would look great with him.

But I hated the metal brocolli.

 

Clippers and Jeweler Saw applied, drilling the legs with a paperclip for pinning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Glitterwolf]

So I applied a bit of Vallejo Surface primer and Heavy Warm Grey for the inside of the mouth.

I will now paint his teeth with a Reaper Bone triad.

 

While doing this, the Mailman came!!

 

He brought me the Ebay Order.. A Metal OOP Stegadon from GW ( No Riders) and 2 Terradons ( one is missing a head, but I knew that,. It will be sculpted)

 

The Stegadon will be done later, he will get the Oval Jungle base from Basicks.

 

Crew will be Reaper. I'm not sure yet if it will be Lizardmen, Frogmen, Turtle Men or Reptus..

 

The Terradon will be without Riders.

I want them to be the Flying monsters.

 

And I don't play games with them anyway.

This Army is purely for me.. ( maybe in the afterlife they will protect me, like the terracotta Army )

 

 

[Glitterwolf]

Applied some Reaper Clotted Red to the mouth, I will have to see if I will keep it, expand it or lose it.

 

Inspiration from this pic. ( a Komodo Dragon Feasting)

 

Spoilered. LOTS OF BLOOD!!!

Yep,.

 

I've seen some from Schleich, but those are basically ( high quality) toys.

 

I want a Metal or Resin or Bones Feathered T-Rex..

And more...!!!

 

Oh, Did I mention the Ral Partha T-Rex is coming my way too?

And the Velociraptors from Ral Partha..

 

Not to mention the Reaper Raptors/Velociraptors/Carnosaurus...

 

I might have a problem

 

Anyway.

 

I sinned..I used the first coat as a primer without primer...

 

Now to see what will happen.

 

Reaper Muddy Olive as Primer...
