Lazy guide to painting Saurus warriors.

Here is a guide for quick and easy painting of saurus warriors. There not meant to look omg your gonna get laid amazing.(In fact doing an amazing job painting anything warhammer probably has a negative effect on your ability to get laid.) lets start!



These are the paints and brushes I will be using in this guide.



First of all undercoat the model with chaos black, or whatever black you use. The black undercoat helps hide mistakes, or lack of detail. Then coat the body with Ultramarines blue.(Any darker green or purple, red whatever you want to use will work)



Now we drybrush! Heavily drybrush all over with ice blue, or the colour of your choice. Once your done this if you choose you can go over it with a wash. I went over mine with the Asurmen blue Citadel wash. I just like the way it looks after its been gone over with the wash. If you like it with out it you don't have to do it.



Next is the face. Put some red or yellow on the eye, and fill in the mouth with black. Don't worry if you get some on the surrounding areas that will get fixed in the next step.



Now go around the edges of the mouth and eye with ice blue, or the lighter colour you are using. Also do the nose and chin areas. The highlights on the face are simple to do, and make the model look better overall. It also improves the look of the regiment. If you don't wanna add detail to all of the models faces just do the front row. This will create the illusion that all of the models are painted this well when on the tabletop. This also goes for any extra highlighting on the body, or weapons as well. Next is the teeth and the bony thing at the back of the jaw. Paint the teeth with your favorite white or off-white. I use bleached bone, it gives the teeth a slightly yellowed effect. I like this because lizardmen probably don't have the best oral hygiene.



Some shining gold on the jewlery on the body of the saurus, and bleached bone on the claws on the feet and the body is done.



Now the weapon. Paint the raised areas with shining gold. Then the teeth with fortress grey. You can use any grey you want, thats just what i had on hand. You can also go over the gold with some chestnut ink. this gives it a slightly older looking effect.



Base coat the shield with black as well, then go over the scales with red gore.



Paint the gold on the shield. I then go over the scales with red ink. This makes them glossy, a look i like. It's also easier then trying to highlight the scales.



Glue the shield on and your done!
