Salamanders (and Successors) Army Showcase

[ben rolls]

aha well spotted. yes it is. i used the forgeworld front on the baal pred (counts as predator infernus it fits the fluff)

[Alduin]

It suits it i was thinking of making a Salamader allie detachment to my Ultras

[ben rolls]

do it! nothing hurts like rerolling the failed wounds with flamers and wiping out squads first turn with drop podding sternguard.

[Tyrant Lord 73]

Managed to get a few pics of my first (almost) finished squad of tactical marines. I'm quite happy with the results, although my photography skills leave something to be desired.

Thanks man. I hadn't even realised, I built these guys so long ago.

[Bannus]

Those are some good looking Sallies there - I love the 3rd edition paint scheme.

[our_baz]

Thought I'd share my current progress with my Sallies.

[BladeBreaker]

Awesome, thanks for that

[our_baz]

Loving the work guys. Inspiring me to come back to my Sallies and show them some love.

[ben rolls]

just need them to release vulkan sooner!

[our_baz]

The new releaees from FW are really pulling me towards starting a 30k sallies army. Once vulkan drops i think that will send me and my wallet over the edge

[grand_master85]

I know this is technically for 40k, and not 30k armies, but I'm going to be using my 30k marines as 40k guys in a local tournament soon. Here's a few of my guys. Oh, and the Lord of Drakes himself :-)

Vulkan, Primarch of the Salamanders:
 

Praetor:
 

 

Pyroclasts (I'll be subbing these in for Sternguard Heavy Flamers):
 

Contemptor:
 

 

Tactical Squad and Rhino:
 

[our_baz]

Love the work Grand Master! Really lovely paint scheme. I do like sallies with the darker greens. The Vulkan model is pretty awesome you really have done him justice. My wallet wont thank me but 30K sallies will probably have too happen. Question for your Praetor what did you use for the conversion? I can see the Dark Elf Corsair cloak, but I cant picture the rest. 

 

[grand_master85]

Baz - Do it! There really aren't enough 30k Sallies players :-( I'm planning on doing about 10k of them, have 3k so far. I'm planning for around 2,500 pts of my army to be solely Fire Drakes :-)

Yeah, I like the varieties of schemes that people have used, but personally, I'm not as keen on the 40k green, and much prefer the more camoflage green that FW have in the Horus Heresy books.

The Praetor is just a combination of parts from the FW range, really.
Legs - Legion mk II Tactical Marine
Chest - Mk IV Praetor set
Shoulder Pads & Backpack - Legion mk III Tactical Marine
Power Fist - Pyroclasts set
Helmet - Salamanders Upgrade Kit
Shield - 2012 Event Only Boarding Captain

[Uprising]

@ grand: wow, some of the best sallies I have ever seen ever of all time. 

[grand_master85]

Thanks chap :) Vulkan, the praetor, and Pyroclasts are all complete. I have yet to finish the tacticals and Rhinos. In fact, have some pictures of my Volkites squad I'll post up (I'm going to sub them as plasma cannons most likely)
