Here are some Salamanders Assault Marines that I was commissioned to paint.

All commentary is welcome.

**Valkyrie**

Great painting as always, although some of them look like they're drunk, judging by the angles at which they're flying.

**Soladrin**

They look weird cause their flying so close to their base. Good paintjob though mate, keep it up.

**odinsgrandson**

I had the idea of low flying assault marines, dodging around enemy troops and continuing to use their jump packs when in close combat.

Of course, you get to decide if that worked, or if they look like they're tipsy.

Love the bases also good poses some of them are a bit odd but the whole awesomeness of the unit makes them less odd.

**Kolath**

Great paint job, awesome poses!

The only one I question is the center model of the lower row. He looks like he is seconds away from doing a face-plant. I think if he was raised up a 1/4 or 1/2 inch off his base he would look more like he was flying instead of falling.

Ok, I can see that. I was going for "flying low in order to get an advantage from his mobility in close combat" but I guess there isn't much difference between that and "descending rapidly face first."

Also, thanks.

"Hey bob, look how low I can... *bonk!* Ow, my face... :("

Outstanding paintjob, but would look better flying higher.
