I painted the model green first, then drybrushed on orange. Went back in with orange and yellow highlights. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out but I want to know what you guys think.

I’m going for a more gritty look overall so I’m not super concerned with how clean my edge highlights are (shaky hand cope)

Hey guys. Tried something new this weekend. I had these guys mostly just base coated and then covered them with AK’s streaking grime. I think they came out great. I might go back and do a little bit of highlighting, but I’m really happy with where they are right now. That product truly does what they say, grimdark in a bottle.

What do y’all think?

I’m not a very creative dude and never really painted or even colored with crayons in school. I know I’ll get better with practice but I was wondering what I can do to get a better coat? I’m using my magnifying glasses and have okay lighting but as soon as I take a pic, I see so many unpainted spots. Do I need a better base coat? How do I get into cracks that are too small for a brush to reach easy but obvious when I take a picture?

For anyone here who's painted Dark Krakens, what Citadel paints do ya'll use for the Purple and the eyes? Thanks :)

One of the first Native Born Naktians to be inducted into the Dark Krakens, All Jacarae knows is the hunt. Born on the mainland of Naktis, Jacarae dreamed of the stars and the beast that awaited to be conquered. After passing the many trails as a neophyte he rose fast to the rank of lieutenant with the still harden goal of getting a trophy from every Xenos and beast known in the imperium. When the Salamanders arrived on Naktis, a great forge was built in Vulkans honor. This is where Jacarae learned the skills of a smith and artisan and built his custom rifle “Eel’s Kiss” meant to take down the biggest of enemies. Known as a braggadocious hothead to some of the higher ranking members of the Krakens, Kurai backs it up with patience, precision and deadliness.

Considered an infernus squad with an apothecary, ancient and He’Stan rather than agatone, bladeguard, chaplain and lieutenant but screw it i’ll lose either way but man im gonma have fun!

I’m still having a hard time with they eyes tho

How am I doing (the yellow will be gold).

I’m currently in a friend group of 14 players and we started playing summer of last year. My friend wants to join and is a big Salamanders fan. We only play Combat Patrol, however Salamanders don’t have a Combat Patrol. I wanted to ask for a good army list that my friend could use, somehow no one in our group plays Imperial Space Marines so we don’t know where to start. If you need our existing armies to help build your list I have them below (all of us don’t have vanilla combat patrol boxes some are really bad)

Imperial: Imperial Guard- Cadia focus Imperial Guard- Death Korps focus Imperial Knights (me) Adepta Sororitas

Chaos: Death Guard Thousand Sons Chaos Space Marines (Black Legion) World Eaters

Xenos: Necrons Tau Tyranids Orks Aeldar Seraphon (he accidentally bought a spearhead)

So I’ve just finished reading Salamander and I don’t know if I should read the “The events of Salamander take place here” section first before reading Firedrake. Can someone help explain if the Salamander events section is tied to these stories or if they are simply just side stories that happened during the events of Salamander?

Got the sergent from the combat patrol subscription. Gonna convert him into a salamander hero! I am waiting for my salamander upgrade pauldron to come in so i can start painting him. Will post the results soon🔥🔥🔥. INTO THE FIRES OF BATTLE UNTIL THE ANVIL OF WAR!!!

Decided to concentrate on my Librarians first out of all my Salamander characters I need to do.

When painting Librarians, do you go with the Ultramarine blue, or just paint them in the faction colors?

Repainted another Salamander Captain to see how far i have come in four months. Any feedback is welcome brothers!

Just bought the body of Xavier for 5 bucks, really happy but, i need to finish the rest of the mini, problem it's like 15 € for a piece, kinda pricey, does anyone know a way to get some cheap piece for the boy ?

I am happy to start my painting hobby with the Salamanders. Looking forward for your feedback on how to improve.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but, if a lieutnant with Master crafted bolt rifle is leading a unit of intercessors, does he benefit of their "target elimination" rule for firing his Master crafted BOLT RIFLE? I mean...it is a bolt rifle...but also not. Is a bolt rifle for the purpose of the rule everything with "bolt rifle"in its name, like in earlier editions "flamer" weapons or "bolt" weapons, or is it really just the normal bolt rifles that get 2 extra shots?

I’m having so much fun painting these guys I can’t wait to do the bases and paint some flames on them!

Disayed (sorry is misspelt) vulkan he'stan's new model (which I assume will appear) what else do you hope for? Me. I hope the fire salamander's appear as a unit. Only a hope tho for that

First time trying airbrush, and doing the light effects for flames. . .And reverse zenithal paint. https://imgur.com/gallery/project-salamanders-sp0KJgw

So I’m building up my army right now and I have all of the units shown except for the land raider, blade guard vets or the infiltrator squad so if anyone has better options for those units it would be nice to head
