The Road to the Grand Tournament


Recommended Posts

Now I have a little more time I'll explain how I paint my Salamanders.

 

All Vallejo paints I use are from the Game Colour range.

 

Once converted/assembled I base coat the mini's in Chaos Black Spray, the I use a roughly 50/50 mix of Vallejo Sick Green and water, a few coats of this generally gets a nice, even coverage. I then touch up the black sections with Vallejo Black. After that it is a simple matter of painting the details, such as purity seals and eyes, chest eagles, etc. After which all sharp edges on the black sections are highlighted with Chainmail Silver (at least that's what I think it's called).

 

The skin tones are simply chaos black with a VERY light (Citadel) Fortress Grey highlight.

 

I think shade the recesses with (Citadel) Devlan Mud wash, and then on top of that is a coat of The Army Painter dip, which I will be painting on with an old brush to get it how I want it.

 

Hopefully that helps?

Everything looks really dynamic! I like the influence of gears of war and metal gear solid on some of the stuff, real cool and original. People always picture marines just running around out in the open and shrugging off shots like they're nothing but I really like this route you took! The only problem I see is that you have these really dynamic marines and then the tanks are normal, you should have some guys riding on the outside of the tank WWII sherman style. I know there was a post I saw here a awhile back I think the guy had some ultramarines riding on a predator, it looked really cool. When I saw your other marines I thought that would be perfect for this army, imho.

I felt it high time I update this thread, so went on a mad picture taking session over the last couple of days. Well, here they are, in no particular order - I'll clean them up another time when I get chance.

 

Sorry about the image spam...
