Quin’s Lizardmen of the Black Marsh - Behold the Shadow Lord (300)

 Wild Card month

  
Something Something, Hidden Dragon

  Ruler of the swamp, revered as a god by his followers for his incredible strength, cunning and mesmerizing gaze. Umbraxakar’s scales echo in shades of black while reflecting luminous color in near darkness. Tales are told by the explorers and inhabitants of Lustria that when Umbraxakar takes flight his wings block the sun and the jungle falls into complete darkness, however no one claims to have seen it themselves. It is on a rare occasion that the dark god reveals himself, preferring to stay in the solitude of his depths, counting his horde of gold and slumbering with the heart of the earth. 






Welcome to Wild Card month. For the sake of the current iteration of my army, Umbraxakar will be counted as a level 1 dragon with flight. I had planned on including a few other extras and bumping him to a level 3, but by the time that June rolled around I was getting tired of painting lizards, so instead I’ll just tell you about them;


Here’s one that actually got finished a few months back with another unit of lizards, Uljar Legatus the Blue. Equipped with a double handed weapon and hidden bow. With aspirations to lead a unit of lizardmen archers I haven’t converted or painted..

Maybe after a few other projects.








    Tending to stay above the others, Levethix usually dwells in a musty pool trapped on a nearby mountainside. Rarely he will visit the others, bringing his mystic fortunes to the brood warning of impending doom or incredible fortune. In times of war he is called upon by the great dragon Umbraxakar to protect his home. 


I’ve already decided how I’m going to convert this guy, just haven’t gotten around to it. Going to replace his two handed sword with a nice long staff & give him a floppy wizard hat complete with stars and moons, a classic wizard lizard. Someday...


Levethix the Recluse 


Point Values:

Level 1 Dragon with Flight, Urathear Umbraxakar - (300)

Uljar Legatus level 20 lizardman with double handed weapon and bow - (252)

9 lizardmen warriors with hand weapons and bows 24 points each. (216)

Levethix the level 15 Lizardman Wizard - (245)

Total for June - (300)

    1. Cheers!
      Sadly I’ve actually changed my mind and there won’t be any archers :/ however I did decide to convert them into a unit of lizardmen arquebusiers! I’ll make sure to share pics when they’re finished 😁

  6. The bases are properly swampy - they look great, especially the dragons with that tinge of bluegreen in the water! Great job also in completing. It's always a bit of a bummer not being able to finish what you planned (I had to miss out whole swathes of mine!), but to finish on a dragon is super impressive. Great job!
