Oh you wacky kids and your onyx black salamanders. 

 

When I  was playing salamanders, they had dark mahogany skin tones, no land speeders and initiative 3! 

 

He looks great :D

So, hes a Firedrake AND can fire mind bullets at you? Damn Kor'Vesh you got game

 

To be honest Slip, no one is more surprised than me

 

Excited to see the rest of your Sallies Atia, and especially so for your version of the the Big V. He is a PLEASURE to paint. What scheme are you using for the Reaver btw?

Considering how awesome that salamander was I am anxiously waiting to see your Vulkan completed.

[Atia]

Howdy! 

 

Little update: The Firedrakes are more time-consuming than i though, the arms are 90% done, just need to finish the highlites on the green armour and some of the metallic details, the shields and the helmets :<

Grey basecoat, spray/paint with Minitaire Warning Yellow, shade with VMA Hullt Red, uplight with Minitaire Mustard Gas. That's how I'd do it. I did this recipe back when I still considered doing my warhound as a Fureans. I made some testers and had the community vote. Here's the post. The first tester's yellow is done with this recipe.

[Atia]

Howdy!

 

i present you: "The Firedrakes" - now with arms  , but still without heads/shields

Some months ago I sento an e-mail to Forge World asking them for the recipe they used, and here is what they told me:

 

For the yellow areas, undercoat with white and then airbrush a 50/50 mix of Tamiya Flat Red and Flat Yellow over the white. Then airbrush Flat Yellow and then Tamiya Clear Yellow in random swirls to give a mottled effect (this stage will need multiple layers after each has dried). Finally airbrush thinned down Tamiya Clear Orange into the edges and recesses.

 

For the flames it is best to make a stencil of the outline of the desired shapes (thin card or paper would be best) and then lay this on the model in the areas where you want the flames. You can then spray within this area with Tamiya Flat Black.

 

For the Black areas use Flat Black again and then lightly airbush Tamiya German Grey for the areas that need highlighting.

 

Hope this helped

Formidable bunch! My inner NL wants to go flaying a sallie or two, you can't keep looking that good without taking a wound or two :devil: really looking forward for the triumphant finish :D

[Brother Vidius]

Lovely Termies Atia!

 

I'm ridiculously excited for this Reaver though. It's one of my favourite models, I'm just too big a scaredy cat to actually buy one and put it together!

[Atia]

Howdy!

 

Thanks for the comments Helterskelter and Brother Vidius =)

@Grand Master Laertes:  ! now atleast, i know how forgeworld had done theirs ... not sure if i'll be able to buy tamiya paints here though :/

Firedrake Terminator-squad Kor'Vesh

Veterans of the Realm of Hesiod

The elite of the Salamanders Legion were those Legionaries known as the Firedrakes, veterans chosen not simply for their martial skill, but also because of their mental resilience and capacity for discipline and self-sacrifice; for these were values the Promethean Cult holds in high esteem. Tried and tempered in the flames of war, just as a blade was tempered in the flames of the forge, the Firedrakes were indefatigable and relentless, possessing a singular focus in battle which bordered on the preternatural and legendary resilience; a matter as much to do with their phenomenal willpower as their superhuman physiology or superlatively fashioned arms and armour. Such was the wisdom of Vulkan and the traditions of the Legion that many of the Firedrakes could be found fulfilling numerous roles throughout the ranks, rather than concentrated into elitist cadres as may be found in other Legions; the better to serve as exemplars, champions and protectors. Exceptions to this practice did exist, however, such as the Pyre Guard who served as their Primarch's praetorians and advisors, and warrior bands of Firedrakes, most commonly clad in exquisitely crafted Terminator Armour, who were formed to act as shock troops and line breakers for the Legion in the most deadly battles it undertook.

Almost done Atia! You can do it!
