I am Legion Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Way back in the day I began a Salamanders army, as they are my second favorite army next to Blood Angels. However due to a GW painting contest I couldn't attend, I had my friend go in my place, and when all was said and done, they told my friend to take the models back in a plastic bag, and he forgot about them in his trunk, so they got horribly ruined........Keep in mind that my Salamanders were on display at the store for a couple months prior. I don't know why they couldn't just stick them back into the display.... AAAAAAAAANNNYYYYWWWWAAAYYYYYYY So 5 years later, I really want to restart the army. Hopefully I can do an even better job on the painting as well I plan to make it super fluffy, but playable, so magnetizing everything obviously. I just ordered Vulkan He'stan, and I got the new tactical squad, along with the new sternguard. TIME TO KITBASH!!!!! RRAAWWWRRRR I will post a few pics sometime tomorrow morning of the 5 Tactical dudes I got started. Now, I ask my fellow Brothers to give me any ideas on campaign markings and such. Oh yeah, by the way, this is going to be a campaigning force, so lots of gear, dusty armour, and ripped dirty cloaks! Also, what sort of bases should I do? I was thinking of a nice white sandy beach with jet black rocks with bright green foliage Or a nice tundra sort of look. I did the lava thing last time, and don't really want to do that again, but I am open to any suggestions!! I was also considering doing the second company, as it looks nicest. These are my old Salamanders from 5 years back: Well, let me know, and hopefully this long weekend I can get started and hopefully finished the armour at the very least.

Bannus Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The pic is a little small, but it looks like you have some nice conversion work going on their. Any chance of some close-ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawolf Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 When I first started researching salamanders years back I saw those on a google search and have always thought they were really awesome. Can't wait to see the new stuff man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Legion Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 ok so this is my first 5 Tactical Marines. Only 2 special weapons (Melta and flamer), and sergeant has a bolter, Combi-Melta, Combi-Flamer, Bolt pistol, Power Sword, and Power Fist. No need for a lightning claw since any close combat weapon becomes master crafted! :D The next 5 Tactical marines will have the cloaks. Not all, but like 3 or 4 will.

skawolf Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I would say that it is more need for a lightning claw as you are now re-rolling 1 failed to hit and all fails to wound they become way more effective than a powersword... especially if you're giving your sgt. a combi-weapon of sorts :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Oh right.....duh.... Too bad the new left handed claws aren't in a nice pose for what I need :/ I'll have to figure something out...or just make it ugly lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawolf Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Yeah I used a space wolf right hand lightning claw on a Sgt. for a tac squad I have been working on and it looks pretty good.....Man I gotta find my camera and get my Salamanders successors (The Inheritors) on here :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infornography Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Where did those cloaks come from? They look amazing. Please tell me that they are bits I can buy somewhere and not just amazing green stuff skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawolf Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 They look to be well executed greenstuff cloaks to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Actually, they are green stuff. But it was really easy to make. Go buy a small almost toy like rolling pin (I found one in a kitchen supplies store). Then place big ball of green stuff between 2 pieces of wax paper and then roll it flat with the pin. When its 2 mm thick, cut out a square and you got a plain cloak. After that you can add scrunched up rolls and so forth with tiny strips. Man I can't wait to get started on the cloaked guys :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
