Skilgannan Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hi people, I'm going to be starting a 30k Salamanders legion in three weeks time. At this time I just have a quick question about painting them. What sort of green does everyone use? Many Thanks Tim Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318980-starting-30k-salamanders/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I use a muted green, other people run the GW bright green scheme. For my scheme I use: FW Nocturne Green base, FW Vulkan Green layer, wash with Biel tan green, highlight with straken green then, nurgling green, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318980-starting-30k-salamanders/#findComment-4299695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlson793 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 When I'm painting 30K Salamanders, I usually go with a base coat of metal ('silver' or 'bronze', depending on what I'm going for), followed by numerous washes of Biel-tan Green.
