Skritz Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Waaaay better than the first marine I ever painted. I was going to say that you forgot to paint their face, but I remember Salamander where retconned into "black" guy. And I mean jet black. Which is sad, I liked the older Salamanders. An entire chapter of Samuel L. Jackson! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146400-salamanders-4th-battle-company/page/2/#findComment-2014056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muctar Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks! :) And yes, an army of Samuel L. in power armor is cool as well. Hopefully I'll have a bunch more units finished off by the end of the month. Depends how crazy things get around here. these guys look great. How do you do your green? I'm curious Primed chaos black, based Dark Angels Green, then Snot Green, with Scorpion Green highlights. I like how the different layers bring out the definition of the green.

Muctar Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 More additions to the 4th! Most of these need to be based to match the rest of the army, or have the chapter symbols finished, but I'll do that all in one go to save time. 3rd tactical squad. Needs basing and a few touchups. Not great job since the primer gunked them up =/ AoBR Terminators. Note the power fists.

greese_m0nkey Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Your painting has greatly improved over the last year. Nice work. What are your points up to, and what is your goal for the size of your army?

Muctar Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks :) I can put together about 2200 points worth but it won't have any cohesion. Lately I've been building a solid 1700 points list for the events in my local area. In the end I would like to be able to have enough options to run two different 2500 point armies, one being a derivative of the mech list I'm making now, the other (much later on) being a LR/Terminator/Vulkan rush build. Of course both armies would have the same base of tacticals and Vulkan. So far I have enough basic troops (tacs,scouts,assault & devs) and rhinos, now I need to build on my heavy armor. I'm trying to focus on one thing at a time.

verpine Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Due what happened to highlights? :lol: The best thing in your army (for me) has to be either the molten lava chainsword for that sergeant you did or the banner on tu'shan.

Muctar Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 out of curiosity is that head a seperate bit for vulkan hestan? Yeah. He comes separate pieces with body, head, Gauntlet of the Forge, and his right hand with the Spear of Vulkan. Due what happened to highlights? The best thing in your army (for me) has to be either the molten lava chainsword for that sergeant you did or the banner on tu'shan. It really look's like it's glowing, great job!!! Highlights will come soon. I've been trying to finish everything I need for the upcoming tourny at tabletop quality. I'm going to add all the highlights to everyone in one go. And I quite like the chainsword and banner too, thanks :cuss Very nice :tu: Thank you kindly :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146400-salamanders-4th-battle-company/page/2/#findComment-2073808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muctar Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Here's my first update in a long time, but it's really important since it's my first update for the B&C painting Challenge. Here's my new Tactical Squad, completed. More to follow by the end of the month...

Muctar Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 B&C Librarium Painting Challenge update #2 Here's my newest addition to my army, my Land Raider Redeemer. This has been something I've been looking forward to having ever since I've started my army, even more so since my acquisition of T.Hammer Terminators. Everyone at my LGS will be surprised since I never field terminators, and they've no clue I've been working on this project. :P B&C PLC update #3 & completion will be in within the next week.

Muctar Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Oath complete! Here is my 3rd and final update for the Librarium's Painting Challenge: the Drop Pod. And here's each part of my oath, together. Very close to the deadline, but I was able to pull it off! <_< Now onto the next project! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146400-salamanders-4th-battle-company/page/2/#findComment-2340582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muctar Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Updating for my first progress report on my vow in the Librarium's Paining Challenge. Presenting Venerable Brother Ven'bur and his Ironclad chassis. Also presenting his battle brother Venerable Nal'zar, also with his Ironclad chassis. I plan on continuing work to complete my vow with the addition of my predator soon.

KJB Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Nal'zar's right fist looks tremendous! Really good stuff you have here! Good luck with the vow, I just have a contemptor to paint then my Salamanders vow is complete...

Muctar Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thanks. I quite like how Nal'zar's fist turned out too. From now on any others in my army will have a similar feel to them as that look is more striking than my previous attempts. Though I do hope to improve the technique as I go along. Good luck on the Contemptor, it's a great looking model. As for my vow, the Anvil of Time is going to press me sorely this month but I shall persevere. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146400-salamanders-4th-battle-company/page/2/#findComment-3007895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muctar Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Oh yeah! Predator's done! I did lots of extra work to make it really stand out, since it's my only pred. I tried painting some scales, but I feel it came out looking more like camouflage. I'll improve it next time by trying to space them closer together and being a little more selective on the brighter colors. Not a bad first attempt though. Lots of heat radiating off of the lascannons was another attempt at something new. I discovered wet-blending is difficult to do well. Also I did lots of highlighting, which is something lots of my vehicles are lacking. To really make the autocannon stand out I put the drake's head on the end and freehanded the flames. I tried a different way to painting the flame this time. The sponsons are also magnatized, so if I want to paint up and switch out for heavy bolters in the future that option is open to me. Let me know what you think. Always love comments and advice, since I usually will try suggestions for improvement on my upcoming projects. Speaking of which, with the pred done I will now be working on my 7 sternguard and 3 veteran sergeants to finish off my LPC vow. Lots to do, but I will succeed!

Asrech Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Now THAT is a sexy tank! The dragons head on the a-can looks very nice, might just have to steal that for my preds as well. If you try varying the size of the scales more, and make it more uneven, it might come out less like camo.. I like the idea! The flames along the barrel came out nice, like the layering of several fires! I'd suggest doing the smoke launchers in metal to break up the green a little when you look at it from straight ahead. All in all a very sweet looking tank! Good job brother!

Spazzola Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 That barrel is awesome! The effect on the lascannon is also really cool (hot?) - I might have to try that someday.

Lachdannan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Very cool looking predator. The barrel and the freehand scales are a nice touch. Keep it up!

Muctar Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks for the replies! I'll try to tighten up the scales a bit next time I do them. But I'm really glad you each like the flames. I've practiced my freehand flame-work a lot over the last 3 years. It's funny actually. I usually like ice-world things and dislike flames painted on stuff. However, with 40k I dislike Space Wolves and love my Salamanders so much that actually I've become decent at painting flames. Who knew? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146400-salamanders-4th-battle-company/page/2/#findComment-3016208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
