Safir had to give credit to the salamanders the recon units that were operating in his sector were second to none, he would never say it out loud but he truly believed they could have given their own Mor Deythun a hard time if any had made it off Isstvan with their units. They carried an eclectic selection of weapons, and more explosives than he had seen since their initial drop into the hell hole of Isstvan.

Beyond awesome! Keep up the excellent work!

Lovely work, think the camo scheme is great! (is that an old Rogue Trader reference, or is it something that has been referred to more recently?)

Both. the camo first appeared in RT back in the 80s, was then later retconned into being used in the badaab war, then retconned again into being used Pre heresy by the salamanders during the last battle of the unification wars on Terra.

Wooahh, these rule. Do you have any idea where one could find the blurb about the Salamanders using that scheme on Terra? Was it at the Tempest Galleries?

Been a while since I posted an update (so I'm doing a massive one ) thanks for your patience.

 

Commanding the salamanders detachment is a strange individual, who stands out amongst his compatriots. Know colloquially as "The Albino" his real name has been lost to the history slates. What is know is his combat record which reaches from the final days of unification leading recon teams placing locators for the assault drills for the assault on the tempest galleries, assignments with the 5th and 13th legions, secunded to imperial army campaigns during the the purge of Gila. 

He claims to have never returned to nocturn and to have only ever even seen his primarch during the muster at istvaan.

@sarabando This is all so rad and amazing.

[Pearson73]

Ahh great job on the weathering and lenses on the tank. Digging the photo shoot too.

[sarabando]

Safir willed his hearts to beat slower still as the World Eater patrol moved over his position. The smell of sweat and blood filled his nostrils as the rumbling vehicles past overhead. He pushed his bulky form lower into the sucking mud and plant matter that filled the ruined street. Using the momentary cover of the engine's noise, he signalled the ambush to begin.

[Pearson73]

Ace weathering, as per! Love the striped faceplate on the helmet, it's a really cool touch.

[sarabando]

The Albino raced through the ruined city streets, his retinue around him in close formation. Above them one of their remaining speeders held together with little more than hope and Nocturnian ingenuity flitted behind the blurry landscape.

Big focus on the Raven Guard going forward. 

 

Close ups will be posted tomorrow.
