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 Horde

OK, my previous post have shown you some of what my current painting and long time projects are, with this post I'm going to show you some of my Orc and Goblin Horde. Its backbone is made up early slotta based orcs and Black Mountain Boyz, a Regiments of Renown. for the blunt hard edge I've a large force of Nick Lund's Black orcs for various manufacturer - Grenadier, Chronicle , Citadel's and another Regiment of Renown - Eeza Ugezod's Mother Crushers. Don't you just love Stuff of Legends website - thanks Orclord/ Richard.

A general shot

Black Orc spears, I tend to use them as Big-uns.

With their deep formations their very difficult to shift!

More Black Orcs

Half Orcs leading the way!

A closer shot of Nick Lund's work

Command group for the Mother crushers

The Black Mountain Boyz

General orcs, if ever there was such a thing!

Hope you enjoy the post, next time Goblins

The Swiftest cut!

OK, you've seen the troops, the big hitter and now here's the short, sharp, shock - a unit of seekers of Slannesh again these are designed by Juan Diaz, there are only four basis models within the group so to have a unit any larger the paint work has to be varied to given hint of variety, hence I've changed chopped and changes the same colours across each figure.

Pictures from various angles

In different positions

Just to give an impression of variety

Particularly like the red bodied Seeker, just breaks uniformity of the unit

The form and line of the models really give an impress of speed and movement in my opinion.

These girls are definitely out for blood!

Games Workshop currently describe these girls as:-  "The Seekers of Slaanesh are the outriders of the daemonic hosts, Daemonettes who ride upon swift and deadly Steeds. Seekers can cover vast distances at unbelievable speeds; they are an excellent flanking force, able to deftly outmanoeuvre almost any foe.
The Steeds are lithe, unsettling creatures with muscular limbs and long, terribly poisonous tongues - it is said a single caress from a Steed's tongue is enough to drive a man into a deathly rapture. The Daemonettes are no less deadly, with lethal claws to slash and slice at their foes." Fits the way I'll be using them pretty well!.

Hope you enjoyed the post
