In the end I went with Red, and decided that the team theme would be volcanic. And then I was left with some cloth pieces that would need to be a color that worked with both the skin and armor. For the armor I started from the perspective that it would have to be the traditional gold, as that is so iconic for the Lizards. My gut feeling was one of red, green, or possibly even a sandy brown for their skin.

I didn’t have a particular team theme in mind because they would probably see more tourney action than league play, and all I really knew was I probably wasn’t going to paint their skin blue, because I’m contrary like that. I was really torn over how to paint my Lizards. I ended up using some liquid green stuff to fill some small gaps, but hard to know if that was my failure to fit the model properly or the nature of the kit. The Kroxigor is a lovely model and also very easy to assemble. This is really lazy stuff by GW now, with none of their BB kits having slotta stands, and makes mounting some of these models in the best spot on their base much more painful than it needs be Let me be the thousandth person to say how annoying it is having to fill the slotta holes on the bases that are supplied.

I knew this would make painting the mouth area a lot easier too, which was already going to be fiddly. I’m not a fan of the look of the facemasks on the helmets, so I snipped these on all the models.
