Letting Zygons be Zygons

 So lets discuss Zygons, shall we?

The dudes (? you can never tell with Zygons!) on the left are from Black Tree Design Miniatures, the ones of the right are from Warlord Games, Exterminate line of miniatures.



Perusing the interwebs for a decent colour image of the Zygons shattered my illusions from childhood (Terror of the Zygons! Soooo goood!) that they were orange in colour.


Seems they are more of a Rakath Flesh tone with more red highlights than orange. So I base coated these in Chaos Black. Wet brushed them Rakath Flesh. Inked them in Reikland Flesh Shade, and then finally gave them a drybrush of red (can't remember what type of red sorry).

These lads are a little too sunburnt though...





I expected the Warlord Games miniature to be larger than the Black Tree miniature, but this was not the case. So I ended up basing the Warlord miniature on a standard 25mm round base to bring them to the same height as the Black Tree miniatures.

Beach bums!


Still think they should be orange!
