Morale boost whilst painting a long term army project - How my Slann/Lizardman army has grown

Hi All, long time no post, particularly as far as this project has progressed. My original Slann/lizardman army post was back in June 2019, just before BOYL and whilst it's been slow progress over the intervening period, those of you who are members of the various oldhammer fce book groups will know I've been busy of the last three months spreading a considerable amount of paint over my C series Slann, lizardmen and adding a few newer figures to my collection to bring them to some form of near completion(Who ever finishes an army?). So in an effort to keep up the pace, here's a video and a few pictures of the 'new' stuff mixed in with the old.


 Here's the mage priest surrounded by his guard, matching in the newly painted figures was trick given the original paint work is a few years old.



Next up are the original Palace guard, no new figures here, but the picture shows them off a treat.


Here are the Lizardmen for regiments, lots of new additions to these units.



Now for one of my fravorite units Lizardmen coldone riders, I've learnt with this unit that broken figures are an opportunity to add a little extra to the original mono-pose figures.


Next up are the slaves all I've added here are a couple of Slann officers to lead (I've still to paint the slave handlers).

Here are the specialists - those new  figures I've added to play later editions of Warhammer.



Almost there, heres the Slann coldone riders, no new stuff here, but to complete the post here they are.



Last, but by no means least the Slann skirmishers


Hope you like what you've seen, hopefully, more to follow soon.

The development of a surprise purchase

For the last few years Zerotwentythree has run a painting challenge on the Oldhammer Forum , unfortunately this year I didn't have anything suitable immediately to hand so turned to E-bay to see what I could find without hitting the pocket too hard and found this little thing, not an official giant but at least something of a size which would fit brief. Until it turned up & I started looking over the figure I had no idea who manufactured or designed it - turned out to be by a company by the name of Phoenix Developments Limited, from their lost world of Atlantis range - a Female warrior with cobra by Tim Richards. Not quite what I was expecting, but then again, I didn't know what to expect. Any way I'll put this one down to a bit of fun, which will more than likely sit on a high shelf, out of reach of sticky little fingers. Then again, if, I was to ever get enough 'C' series Amazonian together to form an army - who knows, she could take the part of their giant!

Too cold to paint!

Well, title pretty much says it all this week, with the UK caught in winters icy grip joined by the remains of hurricane Emma, my conservatory was not the place to be applying paint of any type, until today, that is. So I pulled out a little bit of nostalgia which I think I picked up at BOYL a couple of years ago :- A Citadel import from - Ral Partha White Dragon ES72/01-072 AKA Cold Drake ( http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Dragons_-_Collectors_Guide#Fiend_Factory_.28FF.29_Dragons ), and applied a splattering of colour which I hope you'll appreciate.

Please, forgive the first few pictures in the sequence I bumbled to settings and until I noticed and re-set the camera it was too late to take a step back.

I'm also still playing with the stills video, but this time without the music!



Enjoy
