D.D Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey, i have readed some around here for a while now and thought that it would be fun to show how my own army for all u out there and how it comes together, so here are some pictures of my salamanders. ;) My first squad, sprayed black and then Dark angels green on the armor: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/farmor12341/CIMG8629.jpg And here is one picture on how a almost finished model will be (but the normal marines wont have robes) http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/farmor12341/CIMG8632.jpg C&C are welcome ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144369-my-wip-salamanders/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of nocturne Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hello D.D! your models are looking good so far painted clean and tidily, but you need to salamander them up! flames are usually a good start! scales, allot of people are using the lizard men sprues to accesorise! but theyre your marines so its up to you!

Pyroclastic Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Looks like a terrific start! I agree with Son of Nocturne. The addition of flames, salamander cloaks (from Chaplain Xavier) or scaly tabards, and hammers really make them stand out. Also, metallic colors work well. I've also found that the Alpha legion shoulder pads make excellent salamander ones too. I can't wait to see the finished product.

son of nocturne Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Not to sure if the Zavier cloaks are available on their own through GW (?), but agree that alpha legion shoulder pads are always a good adition!

Unfortunately they are not available at this time. I had a few floating around but I mostly reserve them for my HQ's and Vet. Sergeants.

son of nocturne Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Same here, heard about bitz going under and bought a few. anyhoo off topic, i think that regluc (?) used the new warhamer dark eldar bits for a vulcan conversion, so might be worth having a look at them as well, obviously money is a factor, so GS might be easier at the end of the day innit...

Metal Fingered Villain Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 These are looking good, but I've got a little trick for you for the scaled tabbards. Sculpt the shape of the tabbard and put in on the marine with out any texture, just plain. Let that dry completely and just kind of pull it off of him, it should just detach rather easily. Heres the fun part, roll out really small balls of greenstuff and stick them onto the tabard, take the flat end of your sculpting tool and just push them down they flatten out, repeat that and you should ahve tabbards covered in really dope scales. Painting is looking good, the highlights are crisp and the green is nice.
