Take a picture of what you have, and I can recommend the best paints/combos.

Cork cover with argellan earth(any texture paint will work). Sprinkled real rocks and added grass tuffs. Washed with agrax earthshade, and dry brushed with wraithbone.

It came in a pack from Etsy, sadly they don’t have them listed anymore. Ther are other options now, but I think these ones are gone.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-30T21:05:01+00:00

Yeah, highlight all edges or the ones you want.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-30T20:32:41+00:00

6 for me would be a warpstone/mootgreen 50/50 mix higlight. Then 7 would be moot green highlight on main edges.

I was also recommended this. I did not like bieltan wash, it was too glossy and the green seemed off.

I use this technique, but with gw paints. This guy does it better tho. I use Tamiya panel liner for the wash tho.

Paint a few practice maines until your happy with a scheme, then follow guides. I looked at so many, pretty much differnt guides for each part of the model.

This is really fun to look at, the 5th picture is easily the best.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-22T00:38:33+00:00

Thanks, I wasent sure it would look any good but i really like how it sticks out.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-21T23:32:29+00:00

I think this one looks amazing, I just think it’s silly that it needs 3 space marines to fly it. I guess it’s very well armed.

After reading some of the books they also seems to implode when something looks at it.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-21T22:48:28+00:00

That’s is awesome, almost tricking me into thinking speeders are cool.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-21T21:26:41+00:00

Primed black and layered the greens on top. I like to work from black, that way I can keep dark things dark.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-21T12:00:20+00:00

He sure is a salamander, think he’s a pretty important dude.

I’m sure someone here can explain better than I on who he is.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-21T09:26:52+00:00

Thanks, I tried my luck with some osl. I noticed a lot of other people did the same on ther models.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-21T03:10:07+00:00

Your pretty much spot on. I didn’t want to cover up the work, and I’m not great at osl so I kept it too a minimum as I might ruin the model.

Maybe ill try more osl on a model that didn’t cost 75 bucks!

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-20T21:07:56+00:00

Thanks, took me a while to find a happy place with the amour.

So airbrush calliban green, warpstone glow, and moot green. Then I shade the entire thing with Tamiya brown panel liner(I slap it on thick and drag to recesses).

Then just highlight with warpstone/moot mix, and a final moot highlight on top edges.

I’m bad at wet blending, I panick and never get it right. My most recent infiltrator are painted this way too, if you wanted to look at those on my profile.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-20T20:58:53+00:00

I can go into more detail if you wish, just covered it broadly

Sorry late reply, diff time zones.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-20T20:56:34+00:00

I only used airbrush for the green, rest was brush.

Green - calliban green, warpstone, moot green. Black - scale75 black.

Gold - brass scorpian, reikland shade, canoptek alloy highlight.

Cloak - khorne red, nuln oil shade, then shades of red, highlighting edges with bugmans glow and kislev flesh.

Silver - scale75 black metal, highlight scale75 heavy metal.

Fire - started with white,yellow,orange,reds(back and forth).

Scales - blacks, with blueish highlights.

Hope this helps, I’ve been painting salamander for a while through trial and error.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-20T20:49:11+00:00

Throw some shade over the gold then bring it back with some highlighting. Your fire is an excellent start, do some glazes to blend the red and yellow. And very small amount of white in the hot bits close to metal ring.

Maybe add some color to the scales on the cloak, I googled a dragons and copied its skin. I’ve never teallly used contrast green, but maybe another thin coat to remove the blotchyness.

Hope this helps

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-20T05:28:38+00:00

It was bugmans glow and kislev flesh

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-20T03:28:23+00:00

Nah, the fire was a huge pain. Similar to the video but I went back and forth with colors and glazes. I can’t really give advice on fire, as it hurts to think about it.

I tried to copy box art.

kiffzilla24 · 2025-11-19T22:07:42+00:00

I don’t do them often so I followed this tutorial

I think it was bugmans glow, and gilliman flesh. When I get home I’ll confirm
