My Salamanders LPC thread - The wrath of Vulkan

[KJB]

The purity seal is from the Grey Knight power armour box

These are coming along nicely!!

Like the use of the Mk3 plate mixed with Mk4!!

:D

Cheers mate, yeah, I prefer to mix all of my various armour marks together, makes each one look unique - they all have to have the Mk IV helmet mind you, greatest of all Forge Worlds creations in my opinion!!

[KJB]

Ok, 5 man combat squad is finished (I never thought I'd type that again...) Just the contemptor to go, 1 month should be long enough I think... :lol:

As mentioned earlier, these are finished as far as the LPC is concerned, however I will be going back to them and weathering them once I've had (plenty) practice with the powders and using sponge weathering

Hopefully I'll eventually get enough painted to have a small force, assuming I can fight the urge to start painting something else... Cough Orks Cough

[Krakev]

Keith, these are looking awesome, some of the best work I've seen from you. I always love the poses you get these guys into, ever-battle-ready!

 

That also appears to be Codex: Space Marines they are standing upon, that would insinuate a small inkling towards playing with your models?

 

:D

[wizardofnoz]

Massive Sallys fan and a now a huge fan of your works keith!! Great stuff. Great inspiration to assist in my first attempts at painting a Sally army (well painting at all tbh)! Keep the updates coming please!! Edited March 1, 2012 by wizardofnoz

The mix of armour marks are fantastic, really great painting Keith.

Orks!!!??!!!......I painted the one from the AOBR set [boss] and dont like to admit it.....but.....liked it and just might paint up some more!!

Once again...Nice work Keith!!

:lol:

[KJB]

Thanks for the kind words guys, very much appreciated ^_^

 

Zxyogi, I have no idea why I said Orks, I've just realised how many I'd have to paint! - think I may dabble with the dark side and get that Death Guard sorceror from Forge World next...

 

Nooooooooo! Must keep painting Salamanders! I'll aim for 500 points - hopefully Nick Kyme will do a Salamanders heresy story, that'll keep me hooked long enough to get finished!

 

I can do it... Honest... :verymad:

[KJB]

Update time!

Here is my progress on the Contemptor, the more astute amongst you may notice that I've removed his power fist and given him another Multi Melta - this was due to some horrendous defects which I'm embarassed to say I missed when putting him together... ;)

He needs highlighting pretty much all over, then weathering and transfers and then onto the base...

I have next week off work, so he'll be finished by the LPC deadline even if it kills me!!

Comments and critique welcome as always!

Nice job so far on the contemptor, keith. I like the double MM combo - feels something very much like what the Salllies would field. ;)

[KJB]

Cheers matey, he should be finished tonight

 

Boy, did I pick the wrong model to start experimenting with weathering powders... :angry:

[itasiah]

awesome work, a very nice , clear paint and great poses.

My respects Sir

[KJB]

Praise Vulkan and the Emperor, vow complete!

The weathering on the barrels appears to have been flattened and washed out in the photo's, trust me, it doesn't look that flat in real life

Oh, and if any of you are thinking about getting Forge Worlds weathing powders, do it, they're awesome!

And a group shot to finish

Comments and critique welcome as always

I'm off for a lie down as the thinners I used with the weathering powders have given me a headache!!

[Krakev]

A well deserved lie down mate, they look stunning. I especially like the gold trim, does something for the green that I don't think you'd get with any other metallic.

 

Get them in the GW Flickr pool for sure!

[Captain Semper]

They do look stunning! Well done keith! Seriously nice stuff here mate...

[Kierdale]

Beautiful!

Really nice work there.

Congratulations on the completed vow!

[Race Bannon]

Amazing work! I'll need another paycheck before I can get my own Contemptor :tu:
