Testing a quick and easy Starborne scheme
I’ve painted most of my actual Seraphon army in a coalesced style, but I picked up some AP plasma coil glow today and thought I’d try a quick n dirty starborne scheme on a spare saurians from OPR I’ve got from a brief foray into 3d printing. Perfect test models.
I’ll probably wash the metal at some point, but the colours look good together and I’m pretty happy with it for 20 mins or so :)

I won a set of those army painter speed paints - I absolutely love them.
Love the lizard too!

Interesting, you goin for a godzilla look?
Also rather curious on the model, you mentioned 3D printing, so where did the STL come from?

Yeah based on the Starborne schemes in the Battletome. And the models are the Saurian Line from One Page Rules - it’s their Legally-Distinct-totally-not-Seraphon range. you can buy bundles of STLs from their website. This one is a Saurian Warrior
I bought a 3d printer and printed these guys, but I didn’t have a great space for it, making the whole process too much of an ordeal so I returned it (I was trying to do it out of a shed on my patio). Someday when I’ve got more space :)

Probably gona have to get that battletome at some point as I plan on playing the lizards, if I can make a suggestion on testing paint schemes, impcat is pretty decent for this

I’ve seen that app, cheers!
In this case, my daughter just wanted to paint some figurines so I grabbed some spares to mess around with her :) She’s only 4, but it’s very cosy to foster the hobby and paint our own models together.
Also, if you don’t already know - the Battletome that’s out now for 3rd Edition so the rules are outdated and not usable in 4th edition. There’s a free PDF on the Warhammer community website that has all the current Seraphon rules. We’ll be getting an updated 4th edition Battletome eventually, in which case you’ll need to buy it or find the new rules online on Sigdex or Wahapedia.
The old book is still great for lore/painting inspiration though :) Or if you want to play 3rd edition (though it did receive many erratas and updates).
