God-Potato of Mankind Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 So I'm sure some of you have seen this http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/FW/Blogs/BLOG%202%201.jpg And know I am in the process of assembling a mighty Salamanders Battle-Company. Now I'm sure I've just got the name of the 'scale tabards' wrong, but I can't really find any tutorials or how to guides on painting the thing on his face. All the HH books so far have made them look like gnarly brown grimdark futuredinosaur hides, which I would love to go for but I especially can't find anything on them! Now my mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives. So far I was thinking maybe a blue dragon hide look, similar to how I paint Librarians Or just a basic dark green and wash? Dark brown with a highlight/drybrush of Dheneb stone or similar? Anyways I will certainly be experimenting shortly but do you guys have any advice?

Seleucus Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well, there's this one in the Tutorials forum: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254284-painting-scales-quick-and-easy/ or this might help?: http://wytheria.com/sporepalace/?page_id=303 I often find the best way is to google, see what comes up, and check the 'images' section if there is one, and go to some of the pages linked to the images. This is what I did for 'painting scales': https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=painting+scales&rlz=1T4ADRA_enGB343GB344&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=AsnnUr3NHI2rhQeV6oDIDw&ved=0CE4QsAQ&biw=1904&bih=881#imgdii=_ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286170-salamander-scale-tabards-how-to/#findComment-3580707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Potato of Mankind Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Cheers, I had inspected them previously. I was more looking for guides to how to paint scales as they are, not making up my own.

Seleucus Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Cheers, I had inspected them previously. I was more looking for guides to how to paint scales as they are, not making up my own. You paint them exactly the same way, just make sure you use a wash/shade. Look for Dark Elf Corsair tutorials on the 'net - such as: Thes two show you how to add corsair cloaks to Sallie Sargeants: http://crarence.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/how-to-convert-salamanders-clarence-style/ http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173040-modelling-space-marine-scaled-cloaks/ And you could also use tutorials etc for painting Cold Ones: https://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=&oq=painting+cold+ones&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADRA_enGB343GB344&q=painting+cold+ones&gs_l=hp....0.0.0.789648...........0.VpERQ6kE-t8 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286170-salamander-scale-tabards-how-to/#findComment-3581249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
