Haven't posted in a while, here is half the Honour Guard for my Salamanders and Captain with PF (chapter master, not Tu'shan ~if that even makes sense). Also included is gratuitous shot of Vulkan Lives as background.

Very cool The bases & OSL really work with your green

Those are beautiful. Love the green.

I'm usually not a fan of OSL but you've made it look stunning. Really adds to the feel of the models.

Sweet looking Sallies mate. That shade of green is pretty much my favourite colour.

No apothecary!? *gasp* Looks neat though.

Beautiful! Love the OSL

Those guys look really good, great job.

Well done!

Absolutely stunning. You made the green look really vivid.

They look like Sons of medusa.

Love the white helmets. Never see those on Salamanders. Great job with the glow from the lava. (I'm not a fan of lava bases personally, but objectively speaking you did a wonderful job!) Couple things that could use correcting, though, in my opinion.

The lightning claws on the guy to the far left are crooked. Not sure if finecast, plastic, or lead, but anything but plastic it should be an easy fix. Also, in contrast to your very nice glow effects from the lava, the plasma pistols' glow auras seem very thick. I think they might benefit from some additional light blending. (Or, on a personal note, toning down the plasma glow entirely.)

Nevertheless, wonderful job. Love to see them on the field some time.

Very nice, and cool background.

They look fantastic. Great job on the OSL, it compliments the green very well.

Wow the OSL is spot on! Good job

Holy crap, the OSL on those bases are stunning.

Salamanders are the only SM army that I really think qualifies to have a lava base, and the way you did the OSL displayed this perfectly. Well done!

Awesome work bro!

Thanks all, yeah the lava bases can get overused with Salamanders Armies but I am limiting it to this squad and characters that accompany this squad. In the works are a Champion with TH using the FW Raven Guard Captain Korvydae as a base, and the remaining 4 members of the squad.

Thanks, and yes the lightning claw is bent but it is also finecast. The problem is that the two blades are not separated until about halfway down the blades. I was going to attempt to cut it down the centre but it does look a bit like a disaster in the making so I let it be. I did try heating and bending etc. but it just looked awkward with the blades suddenly changing angles. I'll get back to those plasma pistols soon and see if I can tone them down.

I am almost done with a converted Salamanders Hellhammer, which I will hopefully post sometime soon. Thanks for looking.

Fan-freaking-tastic! Love these minis.

At first looked like the one at the end of the right was sticking his tongue out.

Very nice work, Asuryan.

Very cool -

Dat lighting effect from the bases!

I'm jealous now

Those look nice, love the Salamander colors.

Magnificent. I love the OSL and the colours are superb.

Lost for words... Don't suppose you could share your green recipe? Its delicious

That's OSL done right, right there. Gorgeous job.
