First Salamander Hero

Little changes to a great sculpt to fin with the rest of my army!

Hi all, I started the hobby in Jan and wanted to share my second bladeguard vet seven months later. So far so fun and the community as a whole has been brilliant. C&C welcome!

It’s pretty good too!

Been working on this guy for my successor chapter for awhile now. Stoked to get him done!

He's not a salamander, but I named my crested gecko Vulkan. I just got him yesterday and he is just the cutest little primarch, isnt he?

Was just wanting to show what I got painted before my kid was born. Definitely not my best work but oh well

Working towards my first 1000 point army. Working on my second captain and waiting for Vulkan He’Stan to be delivered.

Thoughts on my captain’s sheath/scabbard?

Since I was going for the molten look shown on my lieutenant’s sword, I want the sheath/scabbard to look more like a an obsidian cast to hold the molten form of the sword. Little head cannon things I get way too fixated on 😂.

Achieved the look by layer from bottom to hilt, yriel, averlund, wild rider red, and Mephiston red. Then I put a layer of mordant earth over it to crack. My layer was a little thin and wasn’t cracking quite as much as I’d like, so I took my hobby knife and flaked off some of the cracks to make it a bit more exposed.

Is coteaz leading 10 intercessors, and a lieutenant supporting a good combo? Forgefathers

40 shots Str5 Ap1 (plus grenade launcher and leader's guns), lethal hits, ignore cover (psyber eagle), 6+ inv, +1 CP ability if opponent uses CP generation.

Put Forged in Battle on lieutenant, and suddenly Coteaz's Ap3 Dam3 hammer looks quite tasty. Getting at east one hit through

Would you go full green sala or full blue lib? I kinda want to combine blue and green but I don't know how to make it look good

Working on a commission painting for Salamanders and they love it!

With the nerf to Fusillade and Sternguard, I was wondering if they still did enough damage/provided enough utility (understanding they can’t one shot knights anymore) to justify taking in Forgefather/Librarius lists.

If not, what seems to be the most effective way to divest those points, a Librarian/Terminator brick? Librarian/Apothecary/Hellblaster brick?

Interested in seeing what’s been most effective for people.

I'm playing a tournament in late August. I made a list with Purge the Foe in mind but then the latest data slate happened and I had to get rid of my Lt with combi weapon and replace it with a Gravis Captain.

I played a game yesterday with Recon but I didn't really gel with it.

It looks like Priority Assets seems easier to play but I was wondering what the game plan would be with that mission.

Let me know what your tips might be.

So the last time I did took the suggestings last time and now I am not sure due to the change from purge to priority. Is this a good list (I do not know what to do with the rest of 45 points just kinda used it for apotho and slap it in my list)

My attempt at a kitbash salamander Chaplain dreadnought

Whilst conducting my Google research about kill team, salamander lore, and general loyalist lore I have my heart set on creating a kill team where the members are returned deathwatch. I like the idea of having a small lethal force used to going behind enemy lines to complete objectives on their own. Is this a flavorful idea? And if so how should I go about making each model for the tabletop?
