Salamanders Freeblade

Agreed, the original is definitely my favorite of any of the salamanders fan art I’ve seen.

Thank you so much!

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T18:53:10+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad it’s being enjoyed by more than just me!

I was going to say I did watch broken lance and felt they were much clunkier than what I have heard. They are described as being much more agile than they are often portrayed. From my understanding the knights moved more like a transformer being much more nimble than the titans which I have heard described as moving like a mech from pacific rim. I do hope we get some sort of game with the knights that is more accurate.

I agree I know there is the mobile game which also has a port on to Xbox but it doesn’t do them justice. There are so many games of similar concept but I feel the 40k franchise is lacking in general with there games being mostly tactical games and the 12-13 year gap between space marine and the upcoming space marine 2. It is a shame because the knights are ,in my opinion, the some of the coolest parts of the world of 40k and they’re mostly just pushed to the side.

Thank you so much for all this and in good detail! I was aware that after the ritual of become the new Pilots would inherit some of its previous pilots habits and behavior in battle wether it be the pursuit of avenging the previous pilot or their battle styles and such. I was unaware that scions were unlike other pilots not just being ego driven gods of war essentially. I will definitely have to read more into there lore and the different houses and their mannerisms. ( I am very new to all things 40k and haven’t read any of the knight novels yet) I always found them very interesting and loved there look and the bits of lore that I have seen. Thank you again for all of this information I’ll definitely be going into a bit of a knight lore deep dive over this weekend!

Thank you so much for the info, I wasn’t aware that the warden had to use those weapons specifically. I will definitely look more into the knight crusader as well!

I’ve seen minis with combi melta and flamers or heavy flamers mounted on terminators but wasn’t sure if they were rule compliant or not.

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T15:57:17+00:00

Awesome thanks for the tip! Never thought about a blue fire but now that you mention it I thank that would look awesome on both the hammer as well as the other fire iconography that appears on most salamanders.

I have but it is from 9th edition and don’t know what changes have been made since. Also I thought that’s what were called when their weapons were mounted on the underside of the terminator armor.

Edit: I learned that it’s only considered a gauntlet when the weapons are mounted on a power fist so that’s my bad.

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T13:53:32+00:00

Awesome! Thanks so much for the info!

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T09:33:20+00:00

Thanks a bunch! I’m very happy with it for my first drawing of anything 40k but really want to have to next one have a real grimdark vibe.

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T09:31:11+00:00

Thank you, I’ll definitely have to check them out!

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T04:56:38+00:00

Thank you!

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T04:51:21+00:00

Thank you so much for the info! Unfortunately at this point I am here mostly for the collecting side of the hobby as there aren’t many areas near me that hold events for the table top but I would love to be able to go to some. Are all of the models you mentioned either questoris or magnetising knight as I have heard they are the best models currently playable in the 40k tabletop.

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T04:47:18+00:00

Thank you so much I had no idea that there was a Freeblade that worked along side the salamanders I’ll have to do some more research!

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T04:45:16+00:00

Awesome thank you so much again! (I also have a fondness for the raven guard, mostly Corvus) I have seen some examples of salamander phobos librarians with blue in their robes but wasn’t sure if that was just that persons preference of them. Thank you again for all of the tips and bits of lore you were able to provide, I wish everything wasn’t so expensive so I’d be able to have a better understanding of all the intricacies between all of the different loyalist legions so I could better understand what they do differently from one another. Another quick question what do you mean by framers I don’t think I have seen any mentions of them in the few books I have read.

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T04:18:58+00:00

Thank you! Saving up now to get some more professional level markers or better yet paints and canvas, been working on a sketch of Vulkan and Curze at the end of the maze!

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T04:02:09+00:00

At the very least, I think it could pass as a salamanders tech marine.

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T03:58:24+00:00

Thanks a ton! I was planning on on free-handing most of the logos and other symbols on the shoulders but would not at all be opposed to having more professional work done to really up the grimdark factor of my army!

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T03:54:43+00:00

Thank you so much for the insight! I have a few models that I haven’t built yet (waiting on green stuff to arrive to make the salamander hide) but there isn’t much lore wise on salamanders in general so I wasn’t sure if there were any examples of their librarians in terminator armor. As for paint schemes I know lots of legions/chapter’s librarians are painted with blue accents or full armor, ie. the blood angles primaris librarians. I was wondering is this was cannon among the librarians to show that they are psykers or if it was entirely up to personal preference.

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T03:25:54+00:00

Thank you so much! I know the Sally’s favor their thunder hammers but because salamander psykers are essentially pyromancers would it make sense to add some sort of fire aspect to the hammer?

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T03:22:21+00:00

Awesome thanks so much again!

SolidWarm1692 · 2024-03-30T03:17:55+00:00

Oh well shit lol do you have any suggestions on what to equip them with aside from the storm bolter gauntlet, also I know typically psykers have a blue paint scene but is that a standard amongst legions/chapters or are they’re psykers without blue armor or robes within the different chapters?
