bareserker Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I have finally put up a picture of my figurine on CMON. It started out as a Space Hulk Librarian. After many hours and much Magic sculpt putty he ended up as you see him. http://www.coolminiornot.com/292473 Long live the SALAMANDERS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Fell Hand Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I never cared a bit about Salamanders, never saw the reason why they have such a strong following...damn you. Outstanding work! That's just an epic model in all respects. ::slinks away to start Salamanders lol:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Looks amazing. I'm glad you went with the more realistic black skin tone. I hate the coal black they went with for the new version of the Salamanders. I started back during the 3rd War for Armageddon and that's how the Sallies will always look to me.

Dosjetka Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Looks amazing. I'm glad you went with the more realistic black skin tone. I hate the coal black they went with for the new version of the Salamanders. I started back during the 3rd War for Armageddon and that's how the Sallies will always look to me. Same here. I don't like the new "black black" skin tone people seem to give them... Anyway, an amazing model :P As bannus said, it's hard to imagine that chap as being a Librarian :) Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Validar Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I agree fully with Brother Ludovic on the skintone. Could you perhaps tell us how you've achieved this fantastic skintone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bareserker Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thankyou, I really appreciate your kind coments. I am really sorry folks but I actually use the worst paint imaginable for people who paint armies.He's mainly painted in artists Oils, which take AGES to dry, great for one offs, terrible if you are painting armies. What I did for his face was a Citadel undercoat of Dwarf flesh on the top half of the head and Dwarf Flesh+Mechrite Red for the lower half. The very top of his bald head was painted Elf flesh +D/F. Over that was very thin coats of Oils, Sepia and Raw Umber. shaded with Ivory Black, highlighted with Naples Yellow & Titaniuum White. When it was all BONE DRY ,some stains of Blue were done around the eyes, Red around the mouth and nose.It takes weeks because of drying times.(When I first squeeze out the Oils onto A paper palette I leave it alone for 3-4 hours to let the oil drain out.) GOD bless ...................Adie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
