I found that the parts didn't fit very well together. It was like some of the legs were twisted, and wouldn't fit at the right angle. I had to hold them the right way for ages until the glue set in. I ended up gluing 4 lizard together (for the last two, the parts fit much better):
It was then time for the black undercoat with the spray:
Then I painted the skin bits blue, with the colours they have on the GW website:
I found them way to dark, and you'll later see I decided to make their skin much lighter. I also decided to make the scales purple rather than blue, painting each scale individually:
I spent the whole night on my first one, so like around 5-6 hours. They're much harder to paint than elves because you have to be so precise with the scales and everything. I finished this one around 3am lol:
As you can see I made the spikes on the back one colour, and went for a lighter shade of purple. On the box and the website some of the spikes have metal bits, but I thought it would look better if they were more natural :) I also added some detail on the top of the skull (the little lines).
This morning I woke up at 9 and finished my second one by 12:30 :)
I think they look quite cool together and can't wait to get more finished (but I don't wanna rush them). I am very happy with the way the purple scales look, even though they're a real pain to get paint individually. I also used the sand I got for the bases, I think that looks quite cool. Let me know what you think!
