Creating Kopru minis. Advice sought

[cthulhudarren]

I have some of the large salamander minis...
Salamander Firetail
Noble Salamander

And want to turn them into Koprus. In the minimum, I'd spray paint them green (ideas for exact colors/brands?). What else would other suggest to make convincing Koprus?

Swap the heads with half-illithid lizardfolk (uncommon, abberations).

I personally just used half-illithid lizardfolf for standard kopru and blackscale lizardfolk for the behemoths.

I recommend using WoW Slitherblades (they're effectively already on large bases), but here is what someone else has done (i.e. Half-Illithid Lizardfolk torso mounted on modeling clay)

That is pretty cool, but IMO the Slitherblades aren't any more accurate looking than the salamanders (which are large) with a repaint. I know I have at least one Half-Illithid Lizardfolk figure, I'll take it out and see how the two would mate together into one figure.
