Hello forum members. I want to start a Project log called "Green as a lizard". Its going to be my new small Salamander army which will probably end up on eBay. But if I will fall in love with it I will leave if for my personal use. I'm planing on having a dreadnought, one Rhino, one Razorback, two squads of space marines, one squad of scouts and Forgefather Vulkan Hes'tan. For now this is what I've came up with.

You can also follow the project on my blog.

Cheers.
Brovatar.

Project continues. I have finished painting all bases for my salamander force hope you like them.

Cheers

**Thrashard**

Love the bases, and that Vulkan is beautiful! you've got some wicked skills with greenstuff sir!

**SilverMK2**

The bases look great, and your GS'ing is good - though I have to say it looks as though Vulkan has really short thighs, or his breastplate/torso has slippled down.

Think this is because he has quite a long neck and tall shoulders, and the buckle on the loin cloth is very low and looks like it is a belt buckle about the waist, but then you see his knees are right underneath it.

**Moltar**

What a nice start to this project. Excited to follow this and see where it goes.

**Brovatar**

I got my marines almost done. After that ill make a squad of scouts finish up Vulkan and a razorback.

Happy Easter!

**Brovatar**

The Scouts 95% done and ready for some paint.

Cheers

Scouts are looking awesome. Any chance of a better pic of that power fist?

**Flashman**

Are you going to go with black skin and red eyes as per the fluff? This always strikes me as quite difficult to pull off...

Yes there is. I'll post some tomorrow. The PF is my sculpt casted by a friend. I plan on casting some more and selling them.

I'm glad you wrote that because i didn't know about the red eyes, so thank you sir ^^. Ofc I'm going with the black/brown skin.

Now a rhino door. What do you think ?

Cheers

Looking promising, subbed.

A Wip photo of a Dreadnought for you what do you think about the color?

More photos on the blog.

**Mercutio**

Wow, that is a beautiful looking dread. One thing that might make it that little bit better is a little OSL around the legs from the lava.

**Brovatar**

OK I've started to paint up some Tacticals there are still WIP but you get the main Idea. Tell my what do you think of them ?

Those conversion are impressive and the green is nice and striking. But I love the freehand flames the most. They are very well done!

**ishkatar**

I like these greens - both sculpting and painting. Well done!

**Young_Logan**

These look stunning

keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing the rest of the force

**Brovatar**

The unit fully done and on the lava bases

Your GS sculpting skill is awesome. The flame details are superb.

**Illumini**

Incredible work both converting and painting. The finished combat squad with custom bases really popped.

I really like that you went for dark brown skin instead of silly retcon charcoal black skin. The dark brown fits much better with the greens.

Only critism is the many static poses on the tacticals. Seems there are AoBR marines in there and those are not super posable, but just repositioning their heads would help.

**Brovatar**

I have about 9 from AoBR and I repositioned the heads on few models and yes it makes them look much better.

**ishkatar**

Nice tacticals. I like the bases especially.
Yet, I think the Sergeant's Power First would look better with a different colour scheme to distinguish it as a weapon, e.g. good ol' hazzard stripes or something like that... Well, just my 2c.
Also I have to agree with Illumini about posing, but it's not a big deal.

**Brovatar**

Another 5 guys. I like this Sergeant better.

Amazing!
is the sergeant in the last post from Black reach?

salamanders were my first army, this was before I even learnt to shade or highlight. they then turned into pre heresy death guard before going on ebay.

good work

**Brovatar**

Yes he is but converted.

**Brovatar**

Here is a Work in progress photo of the scouts. I have a little question for you guys. What color should I paint the pants? Grey?
