Hubernator Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 All your stuff is pretty rad so far. My only concern is for your vanguard sarge. The LC's look more like power-fists, and something about the pose doesn't seem right. Your basing is pretty cool, and the flames have nice detail. Keep going :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173084-salamanders-apoc-army/#findComment-2048681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep going :lol: thanks for the reply and advice mate. Well now that you mentioned the sarge and i take a closer look at him.. his right arm pose is indeed odd :). i tried to make talons with puty from the fingers on the powerfist but that did not work that well. i'm thinking of giving him two thunderhammers instead. Is more fluffy for my sallie army but it would make my squad and him verry expensive in pointcost. what do you guy's think?

verpine Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Woah dude awesome stuff! I like the lave bases except i think you should put some rock(s) for the guys to stand on. Otherwise they'll be burnt to a crisp. Especially your commander, His cape might catch on fire... oh wait- it's made out of lizard scales. Nvermind. Also I can see some fingerprints in the lava, not too big of a deal... Your captain dude w/thunderhammer and wicked awesome shield is nice! Can we get a pic of him holding them? Your vanguard guy with the crazy-awesome-tuning-fork is pretty cool, but he looks a lot like "the thing." Also, make sure to remove the mold lines from his plasma pistol. I like your flames, they look really cool. They are different because they give you a feeling like "propane torch!" instead of "wood fire!". The paint on the last jump pack dude is a bit thick, but it's ok. He also seems to have some gold "glitter" on his left shoulderpad, might just be the pic. The standard bearer id pretty cool, like the standard. And the droppod is just awesome. Nice army!

Nice army! hey thanks man for the advice. about the fingerprints on the lava i know of it. i'm still looking for a techniek to counter that. i'm working with water now to reduce the fingerprints but it dry's up to quick so i'm alway's left with some. about the rock's well there some rock's in there. ;) the darker pieces of the lave are pretended to be sollid lava wich they are capable of standing on. but as witch the rest still trying som stuff out. maybe i should use lesser green stuff to make the lava and let it flow between soms rock's. well about the vanguard.... he dropped on the floor :( so he's fingers are destroy'd. dont know if i'll remake them cause i was not pretty satisfied with the result. thinking of making him with two thunder hammers. :) the captain i'm trying to finish as quick as possible. probably be ready tommorow night. i'll post a pic of him when he is finished. to be honest. i did not make the shield. ordered it from the same guy on e-bay who made the chaplain. he's stuff is just to awsome for my sallie army. the shields make excellent storm shields for 40k. the hammer i made out of left overs i still had from other stuff. i'm glad you like the cloak. thanks again mate Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173084-salamanders-apoc-army/#findComment-2070703 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volemak Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Really great painting there man and that chaplain looks awesome. If you want to make your guys stand out on the table a few rough highlights wouldn't hurt and here's a nifty thing I found that might help you with painting fire: http://hot-lead.org/advance/fire_theory.htm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173084-salamanders-apoc-army/#findComment-2070908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i do with my marines if drybrush them verry light with a lighter green (goblin green) to give them some minor highlighting. drawing lines to highlight them isent just my thing i guess. :drool: i'm alway's ending up massacrating the whole figure :drool: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173084-salamanders-apoc-army/#findComment-2071118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
