Every season, she tours the fashion houses of the world looking for what’s hot and humid to share with her legions of dedicated followers. Anything that doesn’t measure up gets treated to a veritable monsoon of scorn! Tatzina travelled with Spike! Journal to Lustria, to see for herself what goes well with a lizard skin birthday suit! TATZINA: Oh. My. Goodness. The natives here are, like, totally covered in lizard skin from head to foot! They have all these scales in the most vivid and vibrant of colours. It’s, like, they’re covered in sapphires! I was blown away. But remember, Lizardmen skin is for looking at, not touching! They don’t like it when you touch them, so don’t be tempted, no matter how tantalising the texture or captivating the colour!

COLOUR CHOICE
Most Lizardmen are a deep blue, like the Lustrian sky at dusk. It’s ah-mazing! However, blue is not the only colour. Many are turquoise, some are emerald green, and almost all display a secondary colour. These secondary colours, often worn proudly on a crest or down their spine, are usually hot and fiery colours, ranging from vivid red to bright orange. Yet cool colours are also popular, particularly white, and some Lizardmen are able to change their colour to suit their mood! Imagine that! Feeling blue? So’s your hue. Feeling mellow? Turn yourself yellow! This bold attitude towards colour is a joy to behold!

ACCESSORISING
So what goes with lizard skin? Well, that’s easy – gold, darling, and lots of it! Lizardmen favour antique gold of a strong and lustrous yellow hue. Not for them the white or rose gold of the Old World. If you’re a Lizardman, you want your gold yellow. And why not? It creates the most fabulous contrast against that wonderful skin! Lustrian gold jewellery is heavy and angular – thick gold bands and heavy piercings. Decoration is almost always bold as well, with hieroglyphics and the pictographic language of the Old Ones a common theme. Add to this fine and precious jewels and the effect is striking – not unlike the rings many famous Lizardmen players wear on the pitch!

LEAVE IT ON THE LIZARD!
One thing the Lizardmen don’t like is sharing! As far as they’re concerned, lizard skin belongs on lizards and they don’t want to give it up! Believe me, I tried asking politely and they were most rude in response. Most rude! So as tempted as you may be to snag yourself some Saurus skin boots or a Skink skin jacket, you’ll just have to go without. But never fear, you can enjoy their incredible style in generous abundance as they take to the Blood Bowl pitch to strut their stuff!
