Citadel - Giant Spider from 1991 red catalogue

Citadel Giant Spider

Ok, this was a real challenge. I've received this guy with all the legs broken in more parts. 

The original model is very static, so I would have a more dynamic pose.

If you have this model, you'll know: it's a real pain in the a**e to modify. 

At least I've painted it inspired by the mexican orange knee tarantula (Brachypelma smithi). I gave it a pose as if it were walking, adding a piece of branch as a broken tree in the base. 

This model will be a fantastic gigantic spider for a mordheim goblin warband, but I'll utilize it in my lizardmen southland army (counting as jungle swarm). It could be also a fantastic dungeon monster. 

I hope to be able to do better pictures in the newt days.

Ciao!

Citadel 5th Edition Kroxigor (conversion).

Citadel 5th edition Kroxigor

This model is an old citadel Kroxigor from 5th edition Lizardmen army. It's probably my favourite ever Kroxigor model.

I've done a little conversion, adding a crest from an old chaos hound model, and an horn from a plastid dwarf warrior.

This Kroxigor will be added to a skink unit, that I'll paint in future. Ciao!

Citadel 5° Edition stegadon WIP.

Converted 5° edition Stegadon - WIP

After I start working on the new stegadon, I decided to resurrect my old 5th edition metal model.

So I made some conversions to make it in line with the new plastic stegadon, using part of bits from the latter.

The howda is the original one, while the crew is in part made from new plastic models, as well as the giant bow. 

I hope to soon dedicate to finish both of these monsters. Ciao!

Citadel - 5° edition Lizardmen Salamander.

Lizardmen 5° edition salamander

Some days ago I had few hours available to paint, and I've chosen this miniatures, a 5° edition Lizardmen salamander,  for a complete restyling.
I've tried many times to paint her, but I was never satisfied by the results, 'cause I wasn't happy of the colour scheme.

This time I think that I've found what I was searching for: a colour scheme inspired by a real lizard genus, the Calotes, with many nuances of brown and a reddish head.
Soon I'll paint also her handlers.
Ciao!
