Stegadon
Managed to get my hands on one on monday and although the kit is really nice it is the 1st plastic kit that I have had to use green stuff on. I found around the front legs and around the front of the head to be the worst fitting places. They still join ok but do leave sone unsightly gaps. So when buying your steg i would say better grab some green stuff just in case. Oh and the other pic is of the chaos known as my painting table.

Iron Hands Tech Marine
Couldn't sleep last night as my daughter has given me her cold/chest infection. How kind of her. So between the hours of midnight and 3am I knocked up this tech marine minus his harness. Will try to do that today.I have been putting off painting my Iron hands because I was unsure on how to do the black. This was done with Adeptus Battle grey then washed with Badab black. I think the next one will be done with a lighter grey then the badab. I had read in white dwarf awhile ago that this was a good technique for get highlights done quickly on black models. I think the Battlegrey was too dark to begin with tbh. However as it was stupid o'clock in the morning for this model it was good enough. The rest of the model was straight forward.

1st 3 Saurus off the production line
Well I didn't really want to go paint the whole army blue, I think I would have gotten bored of painting lizardmen if they were all going to be blue. Anyway I went with a green theme with the saurus but I tried to keep some red/orange in the scheme to tie them in with the skinks.
I didn't try to paint all the scales on the saurus either, I think for just a table top finish it would have been to lengthy a task especially as I expect I will be getting another 16 when these guys are done.
So the paint job is my version of table top quality and hope a, you agree and b you like them. I know there is the odd mold line here and there but the flash on the camera really exaggerated them and they really are not that bad.

Slann and Base
So I had a great response from the skinks I posted so thanks. It got me to keep on going and move on to my Slann. The flash on the pic of the Slann kinda distorts/hides the gold but I think it looks good in the flesh as it were. The base is sculpted/cobbled together from miliput and I tried to copy the symbol that is on the top of the Slanns floating throne. The throne comes next.Wish me luck
