Salamanders Army- Very Pic Heavy

[Garden Ninja]

This is an army that I painted over the course of quite a few sessions. 

For this force, we went with a sort of combined interpretation for Salamander skin- they have an African skin tones with the yellow hair that older Salamanders have had, but not the drow skin or eyes that some of them have. 

The force was started before the more recent wave of Salamanders. The skin tone and hair colors clearly changed back and forth as the fluff has been developed (and maybe some of the 'Eavy Metal painters didn't get the memo). 

 

Also, on the fire you'll notice that the flames that are painted on to represent artwork are largely done backwards (as hotrod flames often are).  I did do the correct lighting on any of the actual flames the minis are displaying.

 

Anyway, here's pictures of the force, all in one place:

SWEEEET! Really digging the OSL!

[Loopz]

How did you do that lovely green?

[Firepower]

All that work, and the barrels aren't drilled.

Solid OSL, and I quite like the magma/lavaflow design decision you went with the one speeder. :tu:

[Kaldoth]

Absolutely fantastic.  Very clean, and the OSL is on point. I would love to see a tutorial.  I've been having some problems with OSL lately, and the way you do yours is the exact effect I've been looking for ^_^ Please!

My only critique... Drill your bolter barrels :P Such well painted miniatures should have guns that can shoot!

 

Cheers,
