i don't find Eureka expensive, i think they come in around £6.50 a pack, its the shipping and UK taxes that bumps it up to £9.25 per pack. thats ~£180 for a good army! ~$300 ~$AU330   although Warmaster was £8 a pack before The Fall...  everyone else is around £6 a pack, which is plenty for people like me with no self control and a collecting habit, and the angry Wife and hungry child! 

rant over.  look forward to more pics :0)

Nice work!
Bigger is better. If bigger wasn't better, then it wasn't big enough!

I know what you mean about shipping. I live in Australia which is very isolated from the rest of the Western world, so whenever I purchase something from the US, UK or Europe, I get stung real bad for shipping.

Sorry I can't make shipping cheaper for you to get the Eureka mini's mate.

They look even better in real life  ;D

I now have some that I'll be using as characters for my army.

Do you know what else you'll be getting made Awesomeshotdude? There was a lot of interest in the store but the owner didn't seem to know.

+1 on that  ;)

Palanquin carried by LIzards or some sort of levitating throne or fits onto a Steg?

The other new stuff, how will that be available? Looks like too much for one pack of figures, especially the Steg, that must surely be a pack on it's own?

I'm guessing packs comprising:

1) 3 x Gecko on Pterosaur
2) 3 Spitting Lizards with half a dozen Geckos as handlers
3) 1 x Steg (+ Gecko crew and large crossbow-type weapon?)
4) 1 x Toad and the 2 mounted figures, 2 or 3 x foot figures?

That'd make a very tempting Lizardman army offering!

I'm not exactly sure on how things will be packaged yet, that's still being worked out. The Stegosaurus and Carnotaurus will definitely be single packs though. There will likely be a "Hero" pack that will contain a Toad Overlord and a couple of each of the heroes/shamans.

I did a very simple paint job on a single Raptor Rider as I wanted to see what it looked like, and I wanted to start working out colour schemes for my own army. I took some pics of it finished along with some size comparison pics of it next to some Warmaster High Elves.

The paint job was just two thin coats of each colour followed by Army Painter Dark Tone dip and mat spray varnish once that was dry.

I'm going to try a blue rider and red shield too, I want to see if I like it better than a red rider and blue shield.
