NocturneFIN Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Updated 22.10 with a pic of my new old librarian ;) check it out! Hi, I've been reading B&C for a long time, but now I finally got myself to join. My humble marines are nothing compared to those truly amazing models I've seen here... I don't have those cool FW shoulder pads or anything fancy like that, but I enjoy painting and personally I think my sallys fare fine on a table top. Most of all I enjoy converting my marines and adding little personal touches here and there. I'm slowly building an army of these little green men, and currently I have about 1800 points of them... My dream is an apocalypce-ready force of 3000 points. Maybe someday :blink: For now I'll share some of my sallies with you, fellow B&C's. I'll update these more or less regularly ;) Here they are. Tactical marines with suitable weapons. WE WANT THUNDER HAMMERS FOR SARGEANTS! http://i10.aijaa.com/b/00656/8820561.jpg Two scout squads, one with shotguns and the other with close combat weapons. http://i6.aijaa.com/b/00725/8820657.jpg Rhino http://i2.aijaa.com/b/00168/8820563.jpg I also have painted... 10-man dev squad 5-man dev squad, but I'm planning to give additional 5 marines for this unit too Terminators with storm bolters, heavy flamer and chainfist Dreadnought with multimelta, CCW and a heavy flamer Land Speeder Storm with heavy flamer Vulkan He'Stan! VERY cool model! Yet to be painted: another tactical, and I'm currently waiting some old school models I traded from a guy from another message board. Comments and such are welcome! :) Oh and if you have a cool salamander blog or something let me know about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NocturneFIN Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thanks for your cheering commets! ;) Do you think I should paint scout sargeant's power fist green instead of black? In the picture it kinda vanishes to the background.. Maybe some flame patterns would do the trick? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKits Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 hey man how do you paint your green for these guys do you use orkhide shade as a base? just curious trying to figure out a good way to do my salies right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NocturneFIN Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 In fact, my recipe is very, very simple: Chaos black basecoat, followed by knarloc green foundation, then washed with thraka green. Edge highlights are painted with goblin green or knarloc/goblin green mix. I've been thinking of another way too, to basecoat models with Armypainter green and then give them badab black wash. I wonder how that would look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Librarian- Melechor Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Just want to say, I loved the green pattern you used. I've been looking for a similar scheme for a while, really nice work there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NocturneFIN Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 I don't know if this has been discussed already, but I think that salamanders (i.e. original residents of nocturne) are not all naturally dark-skinned. Therefore the scouts, who've been recruited to the chapter not long ago, still maintain their original skin color. After the power armor has been put on and the final implants are installed, their geneseed causes the darkening of their skin. Yeah and the radiation too, of course, but that too takes some time. Of course this is just the way I see it. What I'm trying to say is that this is why scouts have different skin-colors. I'm very well aware of the black skin of sallies. :) Gotta say it irritates me a bit when I see power-armoured sallies painted with pale faces... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Nice looking models. :) The dark skin I have no problem with. The sudden retcon a few years ago turning them into drow not long before a Salamanders novel came out I have some issue with. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander S. Caesare Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Are those rippers on the Rhino. If so, that's awesome. If not, what are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongbow Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 They look like bits from the Lizardmen standards, but that's just a guess ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NocturneFIN Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Actually they are neither rippers or lizardmen bits... :tu: They are in fact parts from WhFB Dwarf musicians horn. Sure, they don't even resemble the actual sallies' symbol, but meh, dragon's a dragon. And they've got a certain archaic look that pleases me. ;) Ps. Dwarf bits are great for salamanders! Dragons, hammers, anvils... Lizardmen bits would do great too but unfortunately I don't have any at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NocturneFIN Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 I finally got myself to paint the old librarian model I mentioned in another topic. Here you go: http://i9.aijaa.com/b/00214/8920427.jpg Very cool classic model. Fares on a tabletop I think. How about you? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
