Ashmantle Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 @SickSix Thank you. @Noctem Cultor Thanks. @Brother Heinrich Thanks. Apart from yet having to apply for a job there? Another small update: Still needs some more cleaning, but so far I'm rather happy with it. Can't put my finger on it, but something about the dragon's head feels unfinished... Rivets and flames. Now to figure out what to do with the greaves. Needs some more cleaning and could do with a few more small details. C&C welcome.

Black Cohort Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I like how much detail you can get in your greenstuff. Â What is that bit in front of the mouth on the serpent?

Ashmantle Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 @Black Cohort Thanks. Well, it's supposed to be fire... might have to rework that. Progress continues ever so slowly: Only some small changes, mainly cleaning up the body. Still not quite happy with the head... maybe a small horn on the nose, otherwise i might have to make some bigger changes. Stil not quite right... On the knee will be the Firedrake's icon, on the greave is an experiment I have some ideas for. I'll have to see which one I can realise. C&C welcome as always.

Col.hertford Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Brother, you work with the finest green is exceptional. It looks like fire from the serpents mouth btw. I think paint will help the pop. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294275-salamanders/page/6/#findComment-4224859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashmantle Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hello again and a happy new year to you all! @Col.hertford Thank you. @zxyogi Thanks. @the Belgian one Thank you. Pictures: This one took quite a few attempts, but the latest went surprisingly smooth. I'm quite happy with it, not least because the outline is reminiscent of the Salamanders pre-primarch legion symbol. Small changes at the dragons head, I might have to bulk up its body a bit. The anvil still needs some more work, the hammer will be crossed with something else, currently I'm thinking maybe a sword or some tongs. A second hammer would probably require me to alter the angle at which it is tilted, that's an option in case my other ideas don't work. C&C welcome.

Ashmantle Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 @Dosjetka Thank you. @Firepower Thanks. Mature or not, that comment made me smile For those wondering what Firepower, Brother SP and Quixus are referencing look here (and then read that thread if you haven't already, or just look at Greyall's Deviantart gallery) A tiny bit of progress: Bulked the body a bit up. Still needs some cleaning and the Firedrake symbol needs some more work. Yes, I'm aware it resembles the Stormcast Eternals default symbol. C&C welcome.

Ashmantle Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Really small update tonight: I would love to hear your opinions on the new ornaments. Do you think they fit in with the rest?

Ovidius Incertus Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 This is all fantastic. Â Totally excellent GS work. Can't wait to see more of your skills. Â I think the filigree on the greave can work, but It might look out of place if it's not painted gold, IMO. Â Salamanders are artisans, no reason they can't be artsy.

War Angel Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 How do you manage to get such great detail at such a small level? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294275-salamanders/page/6/#findComment-4303628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashmantle Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 @Ovidius Incertus Thank you. My main concern was that the filigree wouldn't fit in aestheticaly with the rest of the ornaments I added, but you are probably right that the paintjob will tie that together if done right. @Ch@oZ Thanks. @War Angel Patience and practice, mostly. The right tools help a lot. Another small(ish) update: Inspired by the Salamanders Terminator from Deathwatch: Overkill. This one came out a bit big, not yet sure if I'll keep it or redo it a bit smaller. In either case it isn't finished yet. Just the foundation for later work so far. Another foundation. Aside from that I added a bit of detail to the Firedrake insignia (the eyes and the scales) and bulked up the nose a bit. Added a bit of detail to the dragonhead, mainly the eyes. Comments and Critique welcome as always. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294275-salamanders/page/6/#findComment-4358969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortalKillzone Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Keep up the great work man! Was a big fan of that flamer. Love seeing every marine get a lot of individuality and love. Awesome stuff!

SickSix Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I have always been terrified of seriously trying sculpting but your work is inspiring me. I may give it a shot when I (eventually) start on my BaC set.

Ashmantle Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 @MortalKillzone Thank you. @SickSix Thanks. I hope you do give it a shot and show us the results! @Brother Sgt. Steine Thank you. Update: The next experiment with ornamentaion, I think it still needs some work. I'll probably add some texture to the scales, though I would love to hear some opinions on that. Not finished yet. Can you see the two damaged scales? C&C welcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294275-salamanders/page/6/#findComment-4361367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashmantle Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 @kizzdougs Thank you. Update: A bit more ornamentation. Anyone got a suggestion what to write on the scroll? Main difference so far between this and the last one are the teeth. The discs will get more details later on, though I have yet to decide what exactly. So if you have a suggestion, now would be a good time to voice it. C&C welcome as always.
