SkizO Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Here's a Salamender army I'm building for a tournament at the FLGS on September 12th and 13th. Here's my progress 3 weeks in. Vulkan, lamest model ever produced. I rarely convert models past kit-bashing, but I just had to on this one... http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_121.jpg Librarian: http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_118.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_119.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_117.jpg Few troops, I'm waiting for shoulder pads to build the rest: http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_115.jpg Shoulder pads. I made moulds of the first version so I can copy it... Painful process but I like the results. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_113.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_114.jpg The only completed troop. These boys all have running legs as they go in a drop pod. The shoulder plate is Alpha Legions with the chaos pointy-things cut out. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_102.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_105.jpg The Drop Pods. Notice the dread-pod with Locator Beacon. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_109.jpg Terminators. I'm waitong on the FW shoulder Plates for these guys. The sarge as one of the moulded Icon. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_108.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_107.jpg Dreadnought. It's almost done painting atm, I like out it's turned out for an AoBR model. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_120.jpg Land Raiders. Most of this is blue-tac, I'm waiting for plates and doors from FW and I have no idea how they fit on them, so I'm waiting... http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii167/thespacemorons/Salamenders/Skizo_111.jpg More Progress to come, please forgive my poor english.

jpwyrm Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I like your take on Vulkan, he looks great like this. My only critics (for the moment) would be the green. I know you're going for a Pre-Heresy feel for your Salamanders, but I think you have shaded just a little too much. The reddish brown you used for the shadow is great, but we kind of loose the green dominance of the models. Maybe you could make another layer of green after the shadows an try to blurr the two shades together. Hope to see more soon!

Vash113 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The Green is really neutral but if that's your preference than I guess that's fine. Overall looks like they're coming together nicely, always good to see a lesser known Chapter get some TLC.

The_Chaplain Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 oh emperor's praises to you for at least doing some conversion work to that overly blinged, awkwardly posed monster he'stan model!
