Lanky27 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 So I've finally settled for and bought a bunch of stuff for a salamanders 30k army. The list includes -Termi praetor30 tactical marines2 apothecaries5 fire drakes10 pyroclasts2 contemptorsSpartanSicaranI know I need more troops but for now that's what I have lol.This is my first work in progress. A termi praetor with his original chest removed and replaced by a drilled out firedrake chest and weapons. As always comments and constructive critisism most appreciated.

Athrawes Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Honestly, I think your fine in terms of troops up to 2-2.5k points. Two 15 man tactical squads (with I assume the two apothecaries attached) are pretty survivable and since your Firedrakes are also scoring, you have three scoring units to grab objects. I think you're set brother. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304593-lankys-wip/#findComment-3976450 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanky27 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 @athrawes - yeah your right plus i'll most likely use the pyroclasts as a support squad until i can get a land raider for them as i have a spare rhino i forgot about. @carlson793 - thanks for the help mate, I've realized that the iPad hasn't got as many options as posting from my PC haha, my bad. will have some more pics of a test color scheme up today Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304593-lankys-wip/#findComment-3976955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky27 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 My first test subject. I'll most likely do some weathering and battle damage in the future as i get more confident with my painting skills. Also i think i should learn how to take good photos as well lol.

Brother Dallo Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 is it possible to get a better picture? The glare is pretty bad, and its hard to see the work you put into the muddy feet.

Kor'Vesh Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Welcome to the XVIIIth! Looks like a really solid scheme you have going on, and some nice muddy boots (something I still need to do!). You look like you have a decent enough basis for a list there too, and don't forget that you can run your Pyroclasts as troops using the covenant of fire rite of war too. Given you are low on fast attack and Heavy support there really is no reason not to take it, even if you do start off running the pyros as a flamer squad! Â Excited to see more.

Carlson793 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Nice work there, my fire-born brother. Seems like you're making better progress than me on your 'drakes. 'Course, I think the decal commissions might have a hand in that.

Lanky27 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 After some debate and realising how fickle i am and how slow i paint i have come to the conclusion that it would just be easier for me to have one topic. So as of now i'll be posting everything here instead of each different army forum which should soon include R&H aswell as 30k warhounds along with my original salamanders. So to begin with herres a list of the models i have to build me warhounds army - 40 mkiii marines 20 mkii marines 3 spartan assault vehicles 10 red butchers Khârn the bloody 2 apothecaries Heres a bit of WIP on my first spartan After deciding i enjoy the hobby side more than the playing i thought up a few different character ideas. Heres my first conversion of a praetor/ character in red butcher armour. I stole kharns head for this guy but i also have plan to convert Khârn into a jetpack praetor in the near future.
