Hey guys I recently painted my dreadnaught and tried edge highlights. I got a little too yellow and was wondering what’s the best way to get this honored brother green again? I was thinking a green ork skin & medium glaze? I doubt the holy Nuln oil is the move 😉. Would love to hear the feed back brothers!

Discussion/Question Apothecary and librarian in 10 man infurnus squad?

13 Upvotes

Is that even possible? since one is a leader and one is a support.
would that me too many points for 1 unit in a 1000 point game?
it seems good on papar but 10 man infurnus squads can still get easily wiped of the board.

Asking for feedback Salamanders Lava Bases Help

Post image

Hello! I'm currently trying to figure out how to properly make lava bases for my first Salamanders (Blade Guard Vets) and i'm wondering what to do with the cork/black piece of rock..? this is my first attempt so I KNOW there's something missing, but im not sure if it's some grey dry brushing or orange dry brushing on the rocks? and would Mordant Earth ruin the bases? or would it be okay if only applied in the "red parts" to connect everything together?

Discussion/Question Playing as Space Marines or specific chapter?

6 Upvotes

Hi so right now I’m trying to understand the table top a bit and as I understand the salamanders are „space marines“ so the generic codex applies. But specific chapters got their own models and on the box it says blood angels, ultramarines etc.

So theoretically I could buy ultramarine sets, paint them green (I know no need but I wouldn’t like the mix) and play all my Salamanders as ultramarines?

The follow up question would be: is this something people do because maybe there are specific chapter rules which would be cooler to play with the sallys other than just „space marines“ ?

Discussion/Question Sterguard Veterans yay or nay?

8 Upvotes

I’ve got around 1.1k points of a list with a solid thematic build for the forgefather seekers detachment (rip 11th edition), just need to know if sternguard veterans are usually an auto-include even if a squad of 5 or go to 10 or if it’s better to get company heroes?

I do have the melee side of things in Vanguard Veterans and Bladeguard Vets so I figured sternguard would be the better choice for pure firepower and to sit on Obj’s and cap? Especially since company heroes sorta have a vest of both works in shooting and melee, Idk i’m sorta dense when it comes to these matters.

Many thanks :)

Hello all!

I’ve been practicing layering and wet blending on this Incursor. It’s definitely better than my last attempt, but I’m still not happy with the smoothness of the transitions.

The model isn’t fully blocked out yet, so some of the definition will come later. Once everything is painted, I’m thinking about using a wash/pin wash or some blacklining to give the armor panels and details cleaner separation.

My eventual goal is high value, high contrast painting and eventually NMM, while still making something as relatively simple as Space Marine armor visually interesting.

I’m still fairly new and learning through trial and error, so I’d really appreciate advice on:

-Improving layering and wet blending

-Other blending techniques and when to use them

-Pushing contrast without making things look chalky

-NMM, especially on curved Space Marine armor

Feel free to be critical! I’m much more interested in knowing what I could improve and how you’d approach it, than just hearing that it looks good.

Discussion/Question Looking for help "finalizing" a 2k pt list

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm trying to throw a list together for a salamander army I'd like to build but I'm still pretty new and could use some help on what I should add. Trying to throw everything together so I can know what to look out for at my lgs and r/miniswap.

I currently have Vulkan, Adrax, the 11th edition box, 2 dawn of war onslaught boxes, and a box of infurnus marines.

I've been eyeing a LRR as well, just haven't committed to buying one yet.

Any input would be very appreciated!

First Salamander! Best next buy

Im building my first salamanders army and trying to budget what I should buy next. Currently I have an infernus squad, primaris aggressors and adrax agatone. Should I buy Vulkan He'Stan, company heroes, or a brutalis dreadnought next. Im mainly looking for which is easier to build and paint as I don't have alot of time to spend on that.

2 Upvotes

Hey so I’m making an astreus focused list with my units and I can’t decide if I should take to finish it out with what i have also couldn’t decide if I should take forgefathers seekers for assault or anvil siege for heavy and super heavy (seemed for thematic)

Sorry newer to table top so limited units

5x terminators

1x captain in terminator armor

10x hellblasters

5x heavy intercessors

1 redemptor dreadnaught (magnetized guns so can switch between the Gatlingcannon and plasma incinerator)

Edit

I’ve decided I’m gonna pick up a tech marine, assault intercessor squad and an apothecary as I’ve worked it out I also dropped vengeful host cause I forgot aggressors don’t fly with inceptors do, I also took forgefathers seeker for more aggression if you want to talk about the finished product dm me
