Apothecary Vaddon Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Pretty badass. Captures the Salamanders well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Vulkan's helm, I'd say. Maybe we'll finally know what befell the Salamanders after Isstvan. PS: Good to see Mr. Roberts going for the small heads on Space Marines. Hope that was intended. PS2: Can someone understand what's that big slab blocking the foremost marine's chest? A thunder hammer's head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sponsra Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 yeah, it´s supposed to be about two Salamnders searching for Vulkan post-isstvan. But I don´t think Vulkans fate will ever be reveiled. It´s one of those "mystery-thingies". Kind of like the missing legions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A D-B Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Novella. Not limited edition, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hmm...I personally don't think it's that secretive, more life a never-before-told tale, like the Lion's true allegiance during the Heresy (which is now being told). Actually, here's to hoping we do find out what Papa Lizard is up to. PS: The hanging men/cages in the background are pretty creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Hawk Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yes! A full length HH Salamander story! From Nick Kyme! Brilliant! Novella :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Interesting picture. And the Sallies having action in the HH series (besides Promethean Sun)? Good. Good. Still waiting on the White Scars, though. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiad Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Some of the HH artwork has been truly impressive of late and this ain't no exception. I envy Salamander players. Hopefully the story will deliver on a similar level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardofnoz Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Is it me or has the head of the closest Sally (right) been voodoo'd? It looks tiny.... Otherwise exceptional artwork. Shame it's not going to cover a proper Sally HH novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitor13 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 We absolutely need images of the helmets worn by every primarch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 PS2: Can someone understand what's that big slab blocking the foremost marine's chest? A thunder hammer's head? Almost positive that it's a book. Looks like you can make out the distinctive edges of the pages. Though, the book is in quite a weird place... I really, really like the creepy background. Very grimdark looking. Kinda reminds me of the scene from 300 when the Spartans visit that burning village with the tree of dead people. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Priest Haelaeif Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Great, now I want to start collecting Salamanders, just based on this picture. I already have an army of green(ish) marines, dangit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Whilst I am happy to see more salamander books, and really like the rest of the cover, something about the helmet just seems... off, perhaps too barbaric, taking the salamander theme too far yet not doing the whole way (like the wolf helmets of the space wolves.), I dunno, just the helmet spoils it for me somehow.

In general, I would agree with you- I don't like the OTT dragon thing people have going for them right now- for Emperor's sake, veterans occasionally wear ceremonial drakescale loincloths, nothing more. But I digress. I am prepared to make an exception in the case of Vulkan, as I always imagine his personal armour is far more ornate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I seem to recall a Firedrake of Vulkan's inner circle of war-buddies being described as a savage, with bones, a red mohawk and warpaint, etc. I think it was in Promethean Sun. The Salamanders aren't savage per se, but they can be pretty "totemic" with the whole reptilian motiffs. And I think it suits them, it's not like they come from a Forge World. They live in Volcano Land, with dragons and Dark Elves/Eldar/Elves. I'd dress accordingly too. Plus, these were the old days of the Crusade, there was much more freedom - and, consequently, variety - to a Marine's armour decoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
