Sigur Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hey guys. Over the past few years I've been working on a customer's Salamanders army. In a number of single batches of models we've been adding to the army.Here are a few selected pictures of earlier additions (excuse the picture quality in some cases):http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/fwdreadschrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/landraiderschrift0.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/vulkanfinished1schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/razorbacks1.jpgTo these and another Razorbacks I was asked to add dozer blades to later on:http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/razorback2d-dozerbladesschrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/razorback2eschrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/ironclad1schrift1_0.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/tfcwip2.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/sternguardwip1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/termis1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/caiusfullschrift1neuerversuch.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/stormtalon3schrift1_0.jpgI know it may sound silly, but I really like Stormtalons. :)Anyway, I got to working on another batch of Salamanders for this army. All tasty, tasty FW resin models usable in Horus Heresy things. Heavy Flamers, Firedrakes, Pyroclasts, a Contemptor, some characters and VOX'ers, a Heresy-era Landspeeder and some dude named Vulkan.Here's what we got so far:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Lexandro/wip2_9.jpgThe guys with the heavy flamers are done now, next on the list are the Firedrakes and after that it's time for some characters!Well, that's that so far. I'll aim to keep the updates coming swiftly. Hope you like the minis so far, C&C are welcome as always, and comments are always a great motivator!

Dosjetka Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 The (presumably) older stuff you've done looks great, especially Vulkan He'stan and the five Veterans with older armour marks, but the newer stuff looks terrific. I have always enjoyed seeing more of your work and this is no exception :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigur Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks very much, Dosjetka! Yeah, that's all older stuff, but doing this earlier mark armour set was muzch fun to do. I actually got one of them back now because he needs a new weapon added (Originally they were all armed with boltguns as they depicted Sternguard IIRC, now they're getting more HH-style weapons). The only new stuff I added so far is the guys with the black background.  And here's the latest! The heavy flamers all by themselves:http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/hvyflamers1.jpg  Finished Pyroclasts:http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/pyroclasts.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/hvyflamers2.jpg   ..and the Firedrakes terminators, group shots and alternate backgrounds: http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/firedrakes1black.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/group1black.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/group1schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/firedrakes1white1schriftr1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/hvyflamerswhite1schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/pyroclastswhite1schrift1.jpgHope you like them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Wow. Wonderful work. These are beautiful to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigur Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 @SickSix: Thanks very much for the comment!   http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Lexandro/wip3_8.jpg  Update! Characters, I calls them, as they're all just different dudes really, which makes painting them a bit of a chore. More than one would think, seeing as they're all just green marines really.

Iron Bars Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Those are some lovely salamanders. What are you going to do with the banner? Â Could you maybe post some closeups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigur Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 @Iron Bars: Cheers, thanks for the comment. Not sure, I'll have to talk to the client for instructions concerning the banner. I assume it's going to get freehand-y. As for the closer-upper pictures - this time they are. Problem is that I upload WIP shots to photobucket and B&C won't allow for it to post them in their original size, only sized down to a width of max.1024 (for larger pix photobucket uses a different ending to the url for which B&C doesn't allow) Well, here we go again. Most of the "characters" are done now: http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/chars1.jpg http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/chars2.jpg ...and here we got two chaps who still are WIP. The fella with the banna (or feller with the banner, if you prefer) is done, except for the very thing which defines him aside of his fellaship. The Apothecary is still very much WIP as you can see. Nice to paint that chap again. Last time I painted that mini I think was in 2013? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Lexandro/apobannerwip1.jpg I intend to finish him, along with some new guns on old guys, until the 24th. Maybe I can get to steal some time away for doing all that required merry-being and wassailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigur Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Apothecary update: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Lexandro/apowip1.jpg Christmas eve is right around the corner! Waaaah. I think I still have to get one or two presents for people. Do you guys have all your stuff yet? Speaking of which: The toys I ordered for myself as prezzies haven't arrived yet, despite me having ordered on November 27th. There's hoping for a christmas miracle....

God-Potato of Mankind Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Your Salamanders are disgustingly excellent, I am jelly :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigur Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 @The God-Potato of Mankind: Thanks very much. Very flattering too, considering it's coming from the god-potato of Mankind. Say, just so we can settle this once and for all, do you pronounce your name (title?) Po-tay-to or Po-tah-to? @Dosjetka: Cheers, I'm sure they're pleased to hear that. Well, it's time for an update, methinks. Apothecary finished, as well as the new combi-meltas for the veterans. http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/apo1.jpg http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/apo2.jpg http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/apo3.jpg http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/apo4.jpg http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/apo5.jpg Hope you like him.

Kriegsmacht Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Nice Salamanders. I like the inclusion of the Mk 1 Marine in the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Those lenses and vials. All so very well painted. It makes the model look a bit busy but then again I wouldn't expect anything else from an Apothecary ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigur Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 @Kriegsmacht: Cheers. Yeah, it's a funky fella. @Dosjetka: True, maybe my christmas mood seeped into the paintjob on this guy. I tried to keep the colours on the vials in line with the overall colour scheme, but the sheen alone makes the vials light up rather nicely. So yeah, busy, but it's a GW Space Marine character. They're all overladen with detail as all heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigur Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Alright, christmas update.   The WIP Salamanders Contemptor:  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Lexandro/dreadwip1.jpg  Won't get much more done today with festivities and all. Merry christmas. Oh :cuss, I gotta take some christmas picture too, right? I suck at those. Mostly as I NEVER got the time to do anything miniatures related for christmas.

Dosjetka Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Indeed they are! And you manage to make the vials look quite realistic, so I am not going to be onr to criticise them much ;) Â I'm very much looking forward to seeing the Contemptor finished! Any hint concerning the identity of the unfortunate Astartes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigur Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Well, considering what this nasty man I painted for the very same customer a while ago did to the Contemptor's mates... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o-N8zqhYzwo/UZ0XoIfgNXI/AAAAAAAACyM/Iae9sIV-5W8/s1600/angronfertig5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 That was a bit more unsubtle than I thought it would be but I'll be good and not complain :lol: Â And damn, that's a fine Angron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigur Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 @Dosjetka: The most subtle mode I know is "chainsword". Thanks, I'm afraid the pictures aren't that great. Would love to have better shots of the mini, but oh well. Contemptor: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Lexandro/dreadwip2.jpg The dread himself is done, all I need to finish is the World Eater who is encouraged to "talk to the hand".

Kriegsmacht Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Loving the fire on the Salamanders as well as the battle damage on the armour. Suprised I ran out of likes hopefully it'll reset later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigur Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 @Pearson73: Thanks! Now if I only found that bloody FW World Eaters decal sheet I could actually finish it too.... :/ @Royal Cactus: Cheers! I dig your name. @Dosjetka: Thank you. @Firepowert: Thanks. I'd love to get some new pictures made of him though. Anyway, he was a fun one to paint. @Krisgsmacht: I'm hoping too! Thanks for the comment though. Those are even better than likes. Well, I'm back. Have a HH-era Landspeeder WIP: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Lexandro/lswip1.jpg Not to toot my own horn, but it looks the pimpest. Hope it will look fine in the end too.
