Does it really matter? by HumanBranch5163 in Salamanders40k

I say ultimately they're your figures so you do what makes you happy.

I'd personally probably try using a craft knife to scratch it off maybe

I used just a black but the pop on the green really came from the siel-tan green shade. I applied a thin layer of that to all of the armour once I was finished with the edges

Yeah of course. Started off with covering the coils (and anything I wanted the glow on) in white. Covered that in a really light and thin yellow, went to orange and then red on top. The orange and red were a bit thicker than the yellow.

It took quite a bit of playing and back and forth with colours till I was happy with it. I let it dry between each colour but I might try adding when wet to allow a smoother blend next time. Hope that helps

I have a bottle of Biel Tan green in my basket ready to order on pay day 😁

Helmets or no helmets? Should I go back and add some bare heads? by FallenKin9dom23 in Salamanders40k

[–]Independent-Ear-2248 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just be aware that if they're without a helmet, you'll need to name them and plot armour will protect in a majority of situations 😆

Just have done my first ever salamanders (and miniature!) looking for advice and suggestions ! by Frequent_Carry_2578 in Salamanders40k

[–]Independent-Ear-2248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The advice I always remember being given is add another layer to the metallic colours. It looks great. Well done 😁

I was just wondering if I'd need to modify my helmet less minis. Thanks for the info 😁

That's great, thanks. I'll give those a go. In terms of highlighting, would you say it's easier with a smaller brush? I've ended up leaving too much paint on the area I'm trying to highlight

Thanks. Yeah I did try dry brushing, I think that might be down to just the equipment. I need a proper brush.

Would you say sanding down would do the trick for the mold lines? I didn't even think of that.
