Hello well I am starting a Salamanders army and I would like to know how you guys paint your Salamanders that isn't to difficult.
I have painted one already and I will post pics.

Go these three things.

Army Painter Greenskin spray
GW Badab Black wash
Some Dark Angels green.

Spray the whole thing with the spray.
give a liberal wash of badab black.
highlight with dark angels green.
Win?

I find its best to black out anything not going to be green with chaos black before doing the wash.

I have done my entire Ultramarine 8th company like this(except blue of course)

Or you can spray prime them black, paint them Snot Green, and give them a Thrakka Green wash. Leave shoulderpads and whatever black, paint the eyes the yellow of your choice. Metals are just Boltgun Metal with a Badab Black wash.

This'll produce much lighter green Marines than Titanbravo's technique, while still being a nice mid green.

I guess it comes down to how dark do you want your Marines.

I prefer to go on the darker side, especially for a base coat, that and I love cutting corners, with sprays being the fast way to get a basecoat on.
