Captain Chapel Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Here are some WIP shots of my first Salamanders Tactical Squad, they're armament is Las, Plas, Pfist Vet and for the time being I'll be using the Dark Angels rules for an upcoming tournement. The modelling is more or less finished on these guys. Some of the conversions I went with are tabards and shoulder hangings made from Dark Elf Corsair cloaks hacked up. I've added studs to their armour in different locations, which are made of plasticard rod cut down. And what will really make the models stand out I think are the bases inspired by Lemmingspawn's Iron Warriors uber bang bang death army. So here are the pictures; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/CPTCHAPEL/SalTacOne1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/CPTCHAPEL/SalTacOne2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/CPTCHAPEL/SalTacOneSld.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/CPTCHAPEL/SalTacOneTab.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar Molotov Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Those dark elf cloaks are very nice. A great set of bits that'll prove to be an asset for any Salamander! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I agree you already have some awesome conversions and those dark elf bits don't look out of place at all on Salamander Space Marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Chapel Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Quick update on the first test mini. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/CPTCHAPEL/saltest.jpg Still a fair amount of work to be done, black needs highlighting, flames to be added to left hand and right shoulder as well as insignia on the left shoulder. Believe I'll gloss varnish the lava as well and paint some eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan136 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 really cool use of the dark elf parts, i see those recently bought paints were put to good use. how are you planning on doing the chapter symbol? transfers or by hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Wolf Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Decent. Didn't know you where gonna do Sallies. I might go that route as well when the new codex comes out. Only thing I'm not too sure of is the shoulder "hangings".. they seem too stiff and unnatural. Might just be the pics, I'll have to see fer myself. Bring 'em by the store as soon as possible. Other than that they look awesome. If I do start a Sallies army, I'm definately stealing the DE corsair tabards, seeing as I got a <DELETED BY THE INQUISITION>e load laying around. Oh, one more thing...Was that metal I seen on a few of yer models?!?! The SACRILEGE!! Anyways, looks good. Peace... WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Chapel Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/CPTCHAPEL/TacOneslow.jpg Progress was slow last night, kept getting distracted with watching episodes of Metalocalypse. All the marines are ready for their first coat of snot green at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evapilotone Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Progress was slow last night, kept getting distracted with watching episodes of Metalocalypse. You sir, have great taste. Great looking models. The tabards really do pull off the Salamander feel. Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCC Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Nice work Chapel, though once more you're making me look bad what with the rapidly produced, high quality paint jobs & conversions you're churning out :P ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraithwing Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Those Sallies are stunning. I really love the hands with the flame detail, really adds a nice contrasting colour. Damn you, know I'm considering starting a Sallies army! :D Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmingsbro Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Nice use of striking and contrasting colours on those dudes. It works really well - I was wondering how the colours would work together because I'm considering doing something like that with the new marines in the new box set. Flaming hands look cool :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Chapel Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 What I've worked on so far today, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/CPTCHAPEL/SalZeekWIP.jpg Not sure how I'm going to do his backpack yet.

Captain Chapel Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Small poll; Should the home made studs be painted a different colour than Green? Say Silver or Gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Chapel Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Combat Dev Squad done. Did these guys over the course of the last three evenings. Think they turned out fairly well, flames on the legs took me a LONG time. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/CPTCHAPEL/SalDevDone.jpg @Barry hhh: I'll try to do a tutorial when things slow down here a bit. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
