This is an army about 16 years in the making, on and off, since the release of Codex: Armageddon in 2000. Some of the models predate that from a 2nd edition homebrew chapter that were repainted into Salamanders colours. I was transferring them to new storage boxes and thought I'd take some quick photos of the army as it currently stands before I start work on the Prospero box set and do a Forgeworld order of new goodies. Enough words, some pictures:

Some more photos:

And some dreadnoughts - I'm planning on ordering a Chaplain dreadnought and Deredeo dreadnought soon

Some elites and infantry

There are more photos yet...

Now for some armour / tanks...

Some of the massed ranks now...

Wow that is a lot of sallies! Nice work all around.

I'm not a fan of Salamanders but it's refreshing to see a fully painted army, particularly one with a very nice composition of forces/models/units. You should be proud of that achievement. Well done!

Nice job, love to see the Salamanders getting some love

"A lot" even seems like an understatement. That's a horde! A well painted and truly impressive hoard that you deserve congratulations for.

I love the salamanders.

buddha, Elbows, thesilverback, amazingturtles - thank you all for your support and kind words. Glad you liked!

The horde has cropped up on me, but one advantage of sticking with an army over a long period of time (and some of it dates back to the late 90s!) is that you can build slowly and add whatever interests you at the time safe in the knowledge it all adds up.

Love it. I'm just about to start building my own Salamanders force and this has given me a lot of inspiration. Amazing job.

Very nice look'n Sally's. Man that is a HUGE 30k army.

Thanks folks, so glad you like. It's not all 30k, but like that some units - the old school Whirlwinds, the Land Raider Achilles, Storm Eagle - can do double duty for Chapter or Legion as appropriate
