Here are some pictures of my lizardmen. The stegadon is a toy that I primed and painted. The howdah I made myself from twigs.

Nice! I love me some Lizardmen! I just started my Lizzy army near the beginning of this year, but I already have a sizable force built up.
I love what you did with you Stegadon and its howda! They look good!

The slann, the stegadon and howdah are not dipped. Everything else (including the skinks on the howdah) is dipped.

An update on my lizardmen! For the upcoming DaBoyz GT I decided I wanted to bring lizardmen. I already had roughly 1,600 points fully painted but the largest game at the event is 2,500 points so I needed to add some stuff. These 20 temple guard had been painted and dipped for a long time but I never fully finished them. So in the last few weeks I did the bases and movement tray, eyes and a few other minor details. Also I know I haven't been on at all in a while. Life got very busy with the arrival of my second child recently. Then I decided I wanted to paint up some lizardmen stuff so my free time has mostly gone to painting and I haven't made it here much. But I am happy I can share this painted stuff at least.

That unit looks great, really effective colour combination. Is it just basecoat + dip on the large areas?

In short dipping is a method of painting minis quickly. Basically you prime the mini white, paint in bright colors and then literally dip the mini into a pot of shade. You give the mini a few shakes to get the excess off. The dip ends up darkening the mini and flows into the recesses. This method creates a decent looking mini pretty quickly. You can go back after and pick out details to whatever level you like. Look up the army painter, it is an entire system for dipping but you can also use wood stain from a hardware store.

I have been working on painting lizardmen on and off since late 2019. The catalyst for this is a mega battle my group has planned for November 2020. For that I decided to make a major expansion of my lizardmen army. I had about 2,400 points fully painted and hope to get them up to 5,000 by the game. I have several units I completed base colors on over the past months and just recently dipped a good size batch of minis. Above is the first unit in this batch to be fully completed (I do bases, eyes and magnets after dipping). So I should have some additional units posted before too long as I finish up their details too.
