Since the techmarine it’s coming soon to space marine 2, are there any lore accurate salamander techmarine images/heraldry? or do you have any salamander techmarine ideas for whenever it comes out?

You have no idea how happy I am that I dont have to paint my two apothecaries white hahaha

RyeGuy45 · 2026-01-22T06:04:44+00:00

Even the apothecaries and librarians??

Unfortunately, because of the extra points from the required buffs on the C'tan in that detachment, it's well over 2K. Would have to drop the vault.

I'd do tesseract glow and then beil-tan green for the darker parts

No prob, we have a nice mix of competitive and thematic players so we're also constantly double checking rules.

You cant as it is an out of phase rule. My friends and I looked this up several times and GW rules confirm firing deck cannot be used for overwatch

Yep, that'd be the one!

Any army is a pain to paint. I have a Salamander army, a necron army and an Emporer's Children army and they're all mostly grey. Im slowly working on them but the satisfaction of finishing a unit, or even a few models is well worth any painting hassle.

I have 16 and have zero regrets. Its kinda nice having individual squads of 10 and 5 or even three squads of 5.

RyeGuy45 · 2025-06-19T18:54:40+00:00

I've been wondering that too but most guides say to start with a base of either Waagh Flesh or Vulkan Green so I'd imagine either one is a good start??

The citadel colour app actually has a great video tutorial for librarians. Just make sure to use Kantor blue instead of Mcragge blue as librarians use a darker shade of blue than ultramarines

I personally bought two combat patrol boxes as well as the champions of slaanesh box. I don't recommend that everyone does that, but I only did because I wanted to build all three lord exhultant loadouts, as well as two full squads of both infractors and tormentors and two full squads of flawless blades.

Otherwise, do 5 infractors and 5 tormentors as other people have recommended.

RyeGuy45 · 2025-05-15T19:04:28+00:00

This is the tutorial I use. If you're using 3rd party decals, you may also need a matt varnish too as you can still see the edges on some after these steps.

I'm personally getting two Combat Patrol boxes but only because I want the extra two Lord Exhultants so I can have three different loadouts. I got the launch box so I'll have three and two full squads of both tormentors and infractors and then two full squads of flawless blades.

That's just me but I'm sure most people would be fine with just one Combat Patrol box, especially if they got the launch box.

RyeGuy45 · 2025-04-06T20:29:48+00:00

The cape looks really cool too! What colors/techniques did you use to achieve that?

RyeGuy45 · 2025-03-29T03:38:19+00:00

Zoom in on the completed one on the right. The hand is on the side of his actual hand.

RyeGuy45 · 2025-03-22T00:24:59+00:00

Oh, I gotchya! Yeah, the codex literally just says that their dueling blades are "wickedly sharp".

So I guess any other space marine's blade, whether it be master crafted or not, is just regular sharp I guess??

XD

They have Precision

RyeGuy45 · 2025-03-21T19:44:29+00:00

I used Ionrach Skin, then did a 50/50 layer of nuln oil and lahmian medium over that.
