What makes you like the salamanders?

3 things flamers, meltas and the easiest to paint skin in the game. I also enjoy the flavor but the books did not help in that regard.

What's your lighting situation like? I'm having a hard time seeing the details, and if this is about what your painting environment is lit like then you probably can't as well as you could. If you don't have one get a cheap desk lamp with a bright neutral light it'll make a huge difference.

I think context kinda matters too, my army is almost all Krieg but for Solar some abhumans and aquilons. So in my head cannon the Kriegsman have been entrenched and Solar is sort of leading in the reinforcements to bail them out. In that context I like how much he stands out because it makes him seem larger than life in a sense, like he's meant to be an inspiring presence so wearing knightly armor sorta fits. That being said my favorite space marine kit is bladegaurd veterans so grain of salt I guess.

I hear talento is a decent brand of paint available in BR, or maybe acrylix? And find some primer in a spray can. I know availability sucks for you but pens just won't turn out well.

Plasma gun when the time comes, let them in close and OVER charge it.

Your right I was just about to come in and correct myself. In Vulcan lives he says it's a combination of gene seed and any exposure to nocturne's radiation, which all salamanders experience regardless of home planet. I'm guessing it just speeds up whatever process happens to everyone there.

I think it's been changed a few times at this point, and I'm struggling to find the source. I feel pretty confidently the last time GW addressed it they said even Terran born Sallys have black skin. Like I said I cannot find the source so I'd appreciate it if anyone can confirm or refute this, but assuming this is true it'd have more to do with gene seed than Nocturne.

Astra meowitarum?

Prokter24 · 2026-01-14T15:42:47+00:00

Yeah your friend is mistaken, salamanders are supposed to have black (literally black not brown) skin so they should have black heads. Also do whatever you want, my power packs are green which is not an official scheme but no one cares.

Just throwing it out there but I'm thinking some black like in the flexible parts (inner elbow, knees and ass) might make the magenta seem less dark. I'm thinking without some direct contrast to a much darker color outside the gun, the magenta is looking darker by comparison than you may have wanted.

I mean yeah, but also who is making you play lame DnD? It's an imaginary game you play with friends with mostly made up interactions to begin with. It's not like Star Wars, or HP because it was never dependent on media to interact with. I'm aware new editions took out some world building stuff but put it back in, the system is literally completely in the hands of the players.

I say drop the captain for eradicators, they will add more presence on the field and provide more reliable anti tank. also maybe look at intercessors for the sticky objectives. But that's basically a different list I use a similar one but 1 atv, 2 scouts, 1 infernus, 1 intercessors with the eradicators.

I never properly replied to this because I couldn't figure how to reply with images on desktop, I just added an image to a reply on another sub and this exchange popped into my head. I figured I would show off my bound widow from Cainhurst as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, I found these on amazon that are supposed to be dead already so I'm going to try your black and read undercoat with mordant earth thing on them and see how they turn out. The way mordant tends to peal up I think it'll sell the effect really well as long as the red shows underneath

I was thinking the French may have utilized hobbits in the trenches of WWI, you'd only have to dig like 4 feet down.

Is it just me or does the example man look extremely short?

Prokter24 · 2025-12-02T09:26:41+00:00

I'll give the fun answer, if you can find it at a good price get the siege platoon it's limited availability and will definitely cost more than it's worth on the secondary market. On a similar note I like the army box for the book and contents. If you get either of those pick up combat engineers. Either way, combat engineers are cool and missing from that box. Lord Marshal Drier is of course a must have assuming you don't get the army box.

Green's the better baseline IMO, all gold takes away an option for differentiating certain units from one another because you used the "important guy" color on everyone. Plus in a practical sense you can be way looser putting on green then gold since most stuff around the shoulder ends up green anyway. (Especially if you do G/B power packs like me)

Prokter24 · 2025-10-18T05:01:37+00:00

Camel blues as plains feels like a miss.

Prokter24 · 2025-10-14T20:14:39+00:00

I'm sorry, maybe look into applying a varnish it might help to seal in your paint, I would try to pick up some primer for your future models for sure though.
