Saurus marked by destiny will carry astroliths into combat – complex devices covered in astrological symbols, with an orb of purest celestite floating in the middle, they act as conduits for heavenly energies to further empower the Seraphon armies.* Aggradon Lancers The decision to suggest these colors was based on color theory and balancing the colors in a color combo:

A new alternative to Volupus Pink , Doomfire Magenta is lighter and brighter, opening up new avenues for painting pinkish tones. After an auspicious first outing in the Seraphon Army Set, Battletome: Seraphon is being made available to all. This book contains everything you need to play armies of Coalesced reptiles and celestial Starborne. It contains new and updated rules, warscrolls, and pitched battle profiles for every last Seraphon unit and sub-faction, plus fresh Path to Glory rules. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be a Warhammer hobbyist – the Citadel Colour range is expanding with 25 vivid and versatile new Contrast paints, the Shade range has been reformulated with a further seven new colours added, and a brand new bright white spray primer is coming! It’s a chromatic Christmas, and it’s still summer! Whether they’re celestial Starborne or junge-dwelling Coalesced, the Seraphon are a varied army comprising saurians of all shapes and sizes. They look fabulous, and to find out how this huge range was painted, we got in touch with Max from the ’Eavy Metal team. They retain some of their Astra Militarum-issue fatigues, but they have donned the panoply of their new cult. They wield a mixture of standard weapons combined with what they have managed to scavenge from the hive worlds, while carrying grim trophies of xenos slain in battle across the galaxy.Myself and the DA player were the more experienced so maybe shouldn't have been on the same side, but we just teamed up based on where we were standing. Just don’t ask what the Citadel Colour team had to offer the Golden Demon for the arcane knowledge of this unique spray… I wanted to take advantage of the heavily armoured look of the Palanite Enforcers , while making use of the coolest Lasguns in the entire Citadel range – those of the Van Saar Gang . After chopping arms, legs, waists, hands, and weaponry left right and centre, I settled on poses I was happy with.

Tacticals - not the best place for my hydran examplar, held ground and advanced well - they're called Taxticals for a reason, right? A rhino would have helped get them up table fast. I love using them as base colours for large armies and glazing over layers on highly detailed miniatures for extra colour saturation. The expansion of the Contrast range with new colours gives hobbyists an amazing opportunity to try different things! So there you have it, pro-tips from one of our pro-painters! That’s just 10 of the 25 new Contrast paints – we’ve already had ideas for coruscating bolts of energy with Mantis Warrior Green and some filthy underhive terrain with Garaghak’s Sewer. The possibilities are truly endless! Celestra Grey: This light grey color would be an excellent highlight color for the scaly texture created by Kroxigor Scales. The lightness of the color would create a nice contrast against the dark green and brass colors. We also thought about where these creatures might spawn, the earthy tones they might adapt to, and how wide we could take that spectrum while remaining consistent. It’s fun to come up with wild outliers, but everything has to cohere within the range to really be believable.Pylar Glacier creates the illusion of an icy surface with no hassle. Briar Queen Chill and Dreadful Visage live up to their names, making them ideal for spectral phantasms or smoky apparitions, and Mantis Warriors Green offers a luminous green-yellow that’s perfect for bolts of wyrd energy.

I plan on doing a slightly lighter version of this for my own Skinks.

This made it easier to mix-and-match as the mood took me, meant I never got tired of coming up with new troopers, and opened up a great variety of parts from both kits. It also disguised some of my mistakes…

They were finished off with another highlight by mixing in Screaming Skull to the Tuskgor Fur. The Gold Worse still, at times the smaller race fights alongside Troll-sized reptile-men, hulking beasts that can tear a man in two. With their two-handed mauls I am sure such beasts could stove in the side of a ship within a few blows." It’s not too long to wait before the spawning pools are at maximum capacity and cosmic reinforcements arrive. Battletome: Seraphon will be along in the summer, after two new battletomes for Grand Alliance Death. We may even hear a whisper of these upon the Shyshian wind soon. Cohort of Huatl - Some of the most dedicated Kroxigors to ever spawn from Huatl, this cohort is eager to slaughter the warriors of the younger races. Adeptus Mechanicus: The Adeptus Mechanicus are a faction of the Imperium of Man that specialize in technology and machines. These models often feature a metallic and mechanical appearance, but some also have scaly and textured components. Kroxigor Scales can be used to create an interesting contrast and help to add more depth to these models.Next is my vows for the Bug's Life painting challenge, but in terms of Alphas, I'd like to get my volkite support squad done, but I also really need to get another troop and a HQ done. I've converted up a Vigilator, which you'll see below, who'll be good for small games, however I'm thinking of converting up a Delegatus also, or trying to get my hands on Skorr to give me Pride of the Legion, and use my other veteran squad. Loads of kits come with extra heads to add variety – the Battle Sisters box includes a whopping 27 in total – so raiding your other armies or swapping parts with friends is a great way to get some unique heads. I was also at Warhammer World last weekend, and managed to have a go wit hthe new contrasts. My base hope was that Kroxigor scales was roughly the equivalent of thinned Akhelian green, and I wasnt disappointed - if you look at the test model below, the right leg is pure kroxigor, while the left is 50/50 akhelian to medium - both applied in medium coats to allow both tinting and shading - you can see however that the akhelian is a little blotchy still. These are both over leadbelcher, so a little darker, but they'll look great over ironbreaker. I think I'll be converting to kroxigor to save time messing round with mixing paint.

Born from sacred spawnings and equipped with powerful gauntlet-weapons, these enormous, revered lizards are almost silent despite their size - causing great surprise among the foe, briefly, before they are ripped to shreds. [5] Notable Kroxigors [ ] Siraxues High-hivers maintain a tradition of martial sponsorship, as wealthy chem-syndicates win prestige by funding ambitious platoons in highly publicised battles to ascend spireward. The patronage continues when these soldiers are called up, repaid with constant bulletins of victory. Caliban Green: This dark green color is an excellent choice to complement Kroxigor Scales. It is an analogous color that would create a balanced and cohesive color scheme, with both colors appearing natural in a similar environment. Terms - hard to kill power houses. They really need +1 to hit or something, they struggled against WS5+The shrine-moon of Puceilles Beta maintains grand holo-glass memorials for each regiment it sends forth into the galaxy, praying for their martyrdom – these Puceilles Bannerets refuse to return home except as glorious relics. White Scar is designed specifically for use with Contrast paints, to sit alongside the cool Grey Seer and the warmer Wraithbone sprays. There’s nothing stopping you from using it with our regular Citadel range, however. It’s great for creating punchier colours from a brighter undercoat – you can even try using our reformulated Shades on it for bold new results. Thanks folks! I went with orange in the end, for this unit at least - they do stand out quite nicely. The Adeptus Mechanicus have a variety of textures in their models, including some scaly and reptilian parts, providing an opportunity to use Kroxigor Scales to create an interesting contrast. Finally, Astra Militarum models can be painted with a variety of colors and textures, and Kroxigor Scales can be used to create an unexpected but visually interesting color scheme.
