They are most certainly wonderful! I think there might be an oversight on your implementation of the bayonet, however. Its spikes seem to be blocking the muzzle. Still pretty otherwise.

It's close, but doesn't block- those two that have bayonet style metal blades have guns that are double barreled, and the part of the blade that sticks up is between the holes. Most have rifles that have the large tooth mounted on the gun, only the double barreled heavy rifles have the bayonet style blades.

Scaly.........But do they like turkish food?  or rather Turks as food?

Closest translation from the Draniki language for Turkish flesh is delight:P

Yes, but how well trained are they to Shoot?? OBTW did I mention in our VSF Campaign on Venus that Kneemo has attacked a Swedish Expeditionary force that some how took the city he was about to besiege? Same city, Siege engaged, Swede's will die!

Oh, I see. That makes sense.

Doubled the barrels, for twice the fun?
Everything is better with lizardmen.

These look great. I hope we'll be seeing them on the field tomorrow.

These are looking really good. I like the colour scheme, very realistic looking lizards. The weapon choices are perfect. They look exactly like the sort of weapon as Lizard warrior would use. Job well done.

 :o  :D  :-*

A fantastic idea, and an even better job to make it real.

Mixing kroot amd lizardmen bits is just genius!

I'm sure it will be a pleasure to play with or against this army.

Thanks for sharing.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

Beautiful Plumage!
Remember, remember, the Dalek December
With Paris in ruins and London in ember
In times of the future when fears are abating
Don’t try to forget them, the Daleks are waiting
Quietly planning and scheming and hating…

These are simply beautiful.  I have never been able to airbrush minis like this.  I just can't get the control down.  Yours are great. 
This is my boomstick!

After the game on Sunday, yes, unfortunately all 24 Draniki appear to be pining for the fjords... though they console themselves with the fact they each have a Belgian skull or two to keep them company  ;)

After due consideration, I think they need a large toe claws like a raptor.... ;)
