I am starting to paint my salamanders army and I was wondering how to do the armor. they have all been primed black.

Another question I have is about scouts, how do I paint the clothes where they arent armored?

If anyone has some tutorial vid or text I can see it would be much appreciated.

I use thraka green under coat, then paint them all goblin green, with extreme higlighting at the edges of armour plates

see my dreadnought

hope this helps, and if you need more pics just shout

and about the cloth i dont know, you could try either a light colour such as bleached bone, or a really dark green

The color on the dreadnought is a little to dark for my tastes, but it looks good otherwise.

Thraka green is a wash, how did you use that to undercoat

I was thinking using Dark angels green base with Snot green as final with VGC scorpy green as highlight

For the scouts you could paint thier cloth camo.

Anyone else have any ideas or painting tutorials that I could watch?

Here you go mate this is Les from awesomepaintjob.com
Personally I love his style of painting but its obviously that's only my personal preference, see what you think.

Check out the tutorials on youtube and also look out for a tutorial on green stuff scales for salamanders here on dakka

Thanks for that link, now I was also wondering about that Salamanders scales green stuff on a older post I cant seem to find it.

Also if anyone could show me a link for daemonettes I would be thankful, I dont have alot of practice with skin and have no idea how to paint them.

I know I may seem to ask alot but any help is appeciated

I paint mine,

Black prime

Snot Green x2 coats

Snot Green and bleached bone mix highlight.

To see some

Looks fantastic, do you water down the paints Grandmaster? and how do you mix paints, cause what I do is dip the end of the handle of the brush in and dab on a palate, is there a more effective way to do this?

I dont water them down as snot green is quite thin - hence the 2 coats. I make a mix in an empty mixing pot so the whole squad matches. This is done with a pipet, I just put a 50/50 mix in a pot and stir. It also stops in drying out before you finish a model

Paint goblin green for basecoat and highlight with snot green

You could do but it wont give much difference over 2 snot greens!

How do you mean you mix 50/50.... and what exactely is a pipet?

I spelt it wrong but one of these

http://www.nhrorganicoils.com/products.php?id=11700

and 50/50 is the same amount of snot green and bleached bone mixed together. ie of the finished mix 50% is snot green and 50% is bleached bone

Ooooh those... I call em eye droppers lol

That and how would I clean one, or do I just buy more? And a better question how would I clean the paint pot or do I again buy more lol.

Sorry i meant Knarloc Green My fault

I also use snot green highlighted with scorpy green.

I've searched and searched but not been able to find the tutorial for the scales again. When I do I'll either post it here or PM it too you.

ive gone with a basecoat of black.
2 thin coats of 50/50 snot green and dark angels green (mixed with 50% water)
Highlight then with snot green.

if further highlights are needed 75% snot green and white.

I didnt really like scorpion green i felt it was to bright and didnt work up well as a highlight. I will add some photos to my gallery tommorow.
