Slowly working on a Salamanders army

Tactical Marine 2nd Company (needs varnish)




Pellas Mir'san 2nd Company Captain

Nice and simple. Looks good

The flames on the sword and cape look wicked. I don't think i've ever seen a powersword done like that before.

Good looking characters....an above average tabletop quality.

No net for a weekend :S
But got some painting done 1 Dreadnought is almost done, missing an arm and need to paint the replacement missile launcher and TL lascannon

Tactical Marine 1st Squad 2nd Company


sergeant 1 squad 2nd Company

'nuff said. (Now, when do we see the rest ?)

as quickly as i can get them painted

Your sergeants power sword is some wicked work!

I'm really liking the power sword effect. Very nice. I may steal it. (I do Salamanders, too!)

It looks like you tried to do OSL on the plasma pistol in the last picture, but it doesn't look like it came out very well. Personally, I'd scrap it and paint over it. (Or re-try it.)

You've done a really good job with the decals (I know how hard those are!). I see you also picked up the decal sheet from GW. Sweet, isn't it? Do you use Micro Set to soften them up? I have to, or they always stick up.

Red lenses for your helms is an interesting deviation from the books. I've had it recommended to me, but yours look really good, and casts a heavy vote for red lenses in my own army. Thanks for showing me how it looks!

I like the blacked out greave on the beakie marine. Good way to keep the squad symbol in while keeping the heresy shoulder pad.

Your banner is pretty good, but I would maybe try to neaten up the 'I' a little bit, up close it looks a little shaky. Have you thought of investing in a Micron Pen? They are a godsend for doing freehand work.

Your shading is much better than mine. Do you use a wash? What kind? I may want to pick some up for myself.

I wash the metal in badab black and the green I only use wash where I want the shade (Athonian camoshade). As for the decals, they are indeed sweet, but I only use water to soften them, can be a pain at times.

I also finished my dread... still needs its powerfist and Lascannon but heck

Brother Incus

Love the flames. Its a nice shade of green. I may have to 'borrow' your usage of black on the dreadnought, my DIY is grey with black in the same places as salamanders and what you've done with the dread arms is just what my all-grey dread was missing.

Going to have to keep up with your progress, you're building up a sweet army.

That's really good work. I like how everything is clean and simple. Keep it up.

I'm loving these guys.

If I wasn't already DA, I'd be Salamanders after the very enjoyable Nick Kyme books. Good work.

Fantastically done! As said those flames are great! Nicely done.

Scouts, Just need the Heavy bolter guy.
Not my best work.

All looking very good

Nice work, really like the dreadnought, and the Mk VI space marine. Scouts look fun.

I love Salamanders, especially well painted ones. These definitely fit that bill, great work!

Hmmm. Never seen brown pants on the scouts before. (Mine are grey.) Nice work.

After being lazy for a while and car-trouble, high bloodpreassure ect. I've finaly dragged my ass to the table. So here is my test Terminator from the AOTBR set

Cool.

That dreadnought looks great! I'm loving the bases too. Can you take some shots looking down at them?

Loving the termie!

Got one atm. not the best pic, but it is of my 2nd company 1th squad

I have seen a few lava bases before and these are up there with the best. did you add a gloss varnish or PVA to the top or is it GW wet effects?

Gloss varnish. and thanks

Nice work dude!

Looking really good. The flames are great. That dark skin and red eyes are really creepy!

Great work. Love the Dread in particular.

Pretty nice work, Love the faces on the scouts! Not a fan of the writing on the banner but the flames look cool. keep it up! would love to see more terminators!
