Idol of the Old Ones - Slann Terrain

Some of the Seraphon (lizardmen) themed terrain that Games Workshop have produced over the last few years is perfect for slann. I've had this Idol of the Old Ones from the Warcry Pyre & Flood set assembled for a little while, and it seemed the right time to get it painted up!


The paintjob was quick and dirty - three layers of drybrushing, then picking out the gems for some interest. Fun, gratifying and the perfect new vantage point for my slann!


Love the little chameleon peeking out of the eye-socket on the rear view.

I'm looking forward to getting this piece into a game sometime soon. Hopefully I'll get round to painting up some more terrain to match the theme.

    1. Yeah, it's a nice chunky piece. Can't beat a bit of drybrushing on a big piece of statuary for a nice stone look!!

  2. I have had my eye on this piece for a while now. I think it's an impressive model and will look great in about any game. Also, it would look good in an aquarium...

  3. That really does suit your Slann well. It's come up very nicely too.

  4. The idol is perfect for an amazing looking group of figs. Did you say you put those gems in the eye slots? How?
