I’ve had some Lizardman Temple Guard miniatures for ages, but they’re the old metals and I only had 11. That’s not really a useful sized bodyguard for a Slann mage priest, so I thought I needed some more.
I wasn’t keen on coughing up £29.50 (incl P&P) for ten plastics, which would have been more like £34 with the old style round shields I wanted to use with them. So instead I’ve improvised:
- 2x sprues of 4 regular plastic saurus (from Ebay) = £10
- 10x Temple guard heads (from BitzBox) = £5.7
- 8x old style lizardman shields (from Ebay) = £4.5
Total cost: £20.20
I wanted the old shields so they’ve match my existing metal TG. This gives me a unit of 19, which is ok I reckon. A unit of 30 would look great, but could be a bit unwieldy once you have that big Slann in the front rank. Saurus are on 25mm bases anyway, so it’s easy to get a unit that’s too wide to be manoeuvrable.

Hello Andy, your temple guards look awesome. I’m beginning the game and bought an old lizardmen stock on Ebay. I wonder if the actual plastic halberds could fit well on old temple guards from 96. Thanks in advance for your anwer, and keep up the good work !

I’m sure you should be able to get that to work one way or another Mikhail. You playing Age of Sigmar or Oldhammer?

Hey Andy ! Si I think I’m going to buy some bitz for my almost vintage temple guards. The former owner put weapons from actual saurus warriors and I was not really convinced by this look. They barely looked threatening ! I am playing age of sigmar. I Always thought Warhammer was not for me because of the rules and all the books. Playing AoS with Friends convinced me, even if I think it needs some advanced rules. Keep up the good work,your modèls are beautiful !
