lizardman colours?

Post by shaniepoo »

Ive just put together a Lizardman team and looking to start painting it tonight. The problem im having is what colour to do them? I dont want to do them green or blue as this is to normal/common. I want something thats clashing and striking to the eye. Ive been think Black with yellow/orange/red scales or yellow/orange with black scales. Any other ideas?

Pick a lizard and pay homage to the colour scheme

I like the orange/black color scheme. I think that would be sharp.

If you want you could then go with white pads or something off the wall to really contrast the scale color.

Take some inspiration from this site: http://www.bloodbowl.org/index2.htm. Not just for Lizards actually, but for nearly any team.

You can use a color wheel to get the complementary or split complementary colors. For example the complementary color for orange is blue.

Orange skin with a black based, blue highlighted scales would give good contrast and still be complementary.

I hope this helps.
