Brother Captain Lucian Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Those are pretty dam badass. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293628-salamanders-firedrakes/#findComment-3742496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_r_parker Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Well played ForgeWorld, well played... Hide the new releases at the bottom of page 2, rather than at the top of page 1 where I've been keeping an eye on all morning... That being said, I'm sure there's a lot of happy 30k / 40k Salamanders players out there, as that is another fantastic kit.

daveNYC Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm torn. They look pretty awesome, but the Cataphracti armor makes them look slow and awkward. Like they'd be on the battlefield yelling at the enemy to slow down so they can catch them and hit them with their hammers.

Emperor's Furor Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I dunno why but the way they are painted just doesn't do it for me. I'm playing around with a salamanders scheme myself, using Castellan green as the base, what do you guys think would be the best wash over it, Biel Tan Green or Athonian Camoshade?

Adra'Melek Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Cataphractii is supposed the be slow and awkward isn't it? That's why they have slow and purposeful. My next order will be so of these guys, the Contemptor and a few tanks I think.

Reyner Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I can hear the rage of my friend ... Waiting for his Gal Vorbak :P These are nice terminators though - If I was collecting Salamanders I would pick some up.

sitnam Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Man I think the Sally stuff is top notch. These, Pyroclasts, their dread, torsos, head, etc. Really solid stuff Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293628-salamanders-firedrakes/#findComment-3742598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Looking at them properly now, they look to be more in a heavily modified Tartaros than Cataphractii. Will have to open Massacre and read their entry to make sure though, currently not near my books. Edit : Yup just read the rules, Its Cataphractii. Model wise its a mish-mash of both, honestly.

Leif Bearclaw Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yeah I thought the armour looks more like Tartaros. But I'm 99% sure they are stated to have Cataphractii armour in Massacre.

FunkyMonkey Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 They are wearing Cataphractii. If you look at the images showing the rear of the Firedrake models, you can see that the powerplant, vents and segmented leg armor is set up exactly like Cataphractii Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293628-salamanders-firedrakes/#findComment-3742659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 This is definitely Cataphractii, just as their rules said they'd have... You can tell tey're Cata because of the "MkIII/MkIII"-ish back of their legs, whereas the Tartaros has "MkIV" legs (take a look at Deathshroud and Grave Warden as an example).

deathspectersgt7 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Would like to see a proper paint job on them . But overall a must have kit. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293628-salamanders-firedrakes/#findComment-3742671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'd be happy if I painted as 'improperly' as this. I can hear the rage of my friend ... Waiting for his Gal Vorbak At least he has the ashen circle. I'm still waiting for Raven Guard anything.

These, Pyroclasts, their dread, torsos, head, etc. Really solid stuff Eh, the heads I'm iffy about, but then I'm not a huge fan of most of the HH legion heads. The other Salamander stuff (Pyros, dread, and torsos) are about the best stuff ever.

I can hear the rage of my friend ... Waiting for his Gal Vorbak I hope they dont go the Terror Squad route and make things like the Mor Deythan, Headhunter Teams, Phalanx Breachers, etc into upgrade kits instead of full kits.

KJB Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Just as I'd settled on Blood Angels, these guys appear,,, They're very nice, Forge World have got the Salamanders spot on, especially these guys and that Contemptor Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293628-salamanders-firedrakes/#findComment-3742882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbenner Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Forgeworld is continually outdoing it's self on the HH scale stuff, I am waiting for the dust to settle and all the legions to be present before I make a decision. I do have to say that these Firedrakes are one of my favorite models to date.
