Ral Partha Julie Guthrie Lizardmen

Good morning everybody and Happy New Year!

 

So I actually had these painted since the very beginning of the year, but had to go out of town and couldn't get their bases finished until I got back.  So here are my first miniatures completed for 2020, four lizard men that Julie Guthrie sculpted for Ral Partha if I recall correctly in 1982-1983 with her series All Things Dark and Dangerous.  I've always really loved these figures and have had them on my pending list of stuff to paint, but finally got around to really painting them.  I painted each one in a different color because I wanted a bit of variety.  They did all start of though being covered by a good layer of Creamy Ivory (Reaper) and then I did washes on all that, and then afterwards chose the actual color and kept going.

 

Anyhow, hope you guys like these guys!

Wonderful Lizards!

 

Cool colour recipe, I love them all, but the white one is my favorite!

Thanks Glitterwolf!   I just wanted to give a bit of variety and options to see what kind of different looking lizards are out there.   I some day want to do the same thing with some old school Ral Partha D&D Bob Olley Goblins, making the Goblin world of Benetton!

Excellent painting of these old minis - I really like the dry look of their skin.

Thank you Iridil!  I do picture them more as desert lizards rather than swamp lizards.

Thanks Kangaroorex!  I wanted to work on the two-toned scheme, a lighter underside with a colored topside, and these four were excellent practice.  Later I want to work on larger lizards to do the same (Dragons perhaps?).

Really love the first two albinos especially. These are also a great style of lizardfolk sculpt--reminds me of some sort of animated series back in the day.

Thanks much Rigel!  Kind of funny, I've heard more than one comment about albinos, but I really didn't intend for them to be albinos.  As far as back in the day, I confirmed with another unpainted set of these that I have and they were were marked 1982 on the bottom of the bases, so I'd say they are "back in the day" material!.
