Age of Sigmar..... seriously?

Well yes. Who doesn't like the idea of having a fantasy dinosaur army. Way back when (Warhammer Fantasy 5th or 6th edition) I actually owned a Lizardmen army (dinosaurs), and I've been hearing about Age of Sigmar and how the Generals Handbook has made this a fun and simple system to play again.

So why not. I've been completely drained for the last month. I can't even tell you what I've been doing other than trying to avoid getting the flu. So if dinosaurs is what it takes to get me painting, okay then, I'll have a go.

The Lizardmen army is now called the Seraphon Army. When the end of the world came they launched space ships into space and became celestial. Whatever, they are now dinosaurs that get painted in brighter colors basically. Like celestial stars, so bright. I'm not so much into the fluff as I am into what looks really cool.

My buddy Skip has taught me that if you can buy it cheap, go for it. So when I saw a super sweet deal for some Saurus Knights on Ebay, I bought them. I then skipped over to my local crack house, er I mean hobby shop, and bought a rattle can of Caliban Green to help me try out some speed painting. I don't want to spend a lot of time making these look super sweet, I want them done yesterday so I can game. But like all my projects it probably won't get down until the next leap year. You never know though unless you try. So I am trying, and we'll go from there.

Here is a picture of the group sprayed painted and a black wash applied. I am going to paint all the Cold Ones (these are the mounts for the Saurus dudes) and then when finished paint the riders.

...and here are a couple of shots of a painted up test figure. Mind you I still have to put a few details and touch ups before it's finished but it will give you the idea.

Well that's it for now, I am off to watch the first "Jurassic Park" movie;)

Cheers
