FEELING FROGGY

 I can't remember if I got these to put on bases or do as a swarm, but have opted for the swarm now, I've gone for colours of poison tree frogs, as a poison attack with them would be useful in gaming.


Below are the colour schemes I based these on.


While I did these I also painted up this toad which came in the Ripperdactyl box, I thought it could be used as a familiar for a skink priest.


I based it off of a Cane Toad as seen below.


Talking of Skink priests, I made one up from the crew of a Stegadon, I've gone for an albino colour scheme to mark him as special.


Lots more lizardmen to come, so until next time stay safe and have fun !

Cheers Dave

  4. An amphibian and reptilian visual delight! Really well done - adaptive to the natural colors of the animals,

  5. I don't know if this expression travels across the pond but thank you for your work on these new minis, Dave! Poison tree frogs are visually stunning to be sure and using them for the frog minis was a great idea. Truthfully, everything came out well in this update and I envy your productivity! :)

    1. Thank you Jeff, poison tree frogs are natures Skittles, but you wouldn't want to taste that rainbow ! LOL They fit really well in a Fantasy setting with their extreme bright colours, so seemed a natural choice to me. As for the productivity, just trying to do as much as I can while I can ! LOL

  6. The continued work on your Lizardmen is great. I can't imagine seeing that toad in real life. That would definitely freak me out!

    1. Thank you Brian, really enjoying working on these at the moment. He is rather large that toad, and probably has an appetite to match ! LOL

    1. Thank you John, thankfully we don't get them in the UK ! LOL although it would probably leap away from a large human as it would see you as more of a threat ! LOL

  8. Great idea to paint the frogs as poison frogs, they turned out great. Also, that's one massive toad - wouldn't want to mess with it, haha

    1. Thank you snapfit, as swarms come with a poison attack they made the most sense to me ! LOL From what I've read they can give a pretty nasty bite, so best avoided !
