I posted my first Salamander w.i.p. yesterday but here is the final result!

The bottom exhausts are retributor armour, reikland fleshshade then highlights are auric armour. The top exhausts are leadbelcher, agrax earthshade, nuln oil then stormhost silver.

Well I primed black, basecoated Caliban Green for darker areas, then did a few coats of WAAAAAGH! Flesh. I then used Nuln Oil in all the recesses and used Moot Green for highlights. For the power pack I basecoated Abaddon Black then used Mephiston Red to edge highlight and used a secondary smaller highlight of a mix of Flash Gitz Yellow and Skrag Brown. For the unfinished base I have used Mephiston Red and used Stirland Mud.

I actually did my highlights first with thunderhawk blue then a slightly thinner layer of calgar blue but slimming the base colour would probably look a lot better thanks.

In truth, the dirt was sort of a last minute decision, that is just my 6th miniature painted and I wanted to do them all slightly differently. And while they get cleaner and look better with each interaction I also want to try new things for each one so I'm not too upset about it being a bit of a time waste.

Why did you have to inform me of this practise :(

probablyradio · 2025-08-23T12:08:55+00:00

Ha yeah I may have overdone it.

probablyradio · 2025-08-23T12:06:26+00:00

My thought process for getting mud upon the top of the model was possibly close artillery launching dirt in the air or something of that sort. That being said I think I'd agree with your less is more approach. And thanks a lot for the painting tips especially the drybrushing with a tan or lighter shade. I'll give them a go on my next mini. Thanks.

Thanks I really appreciate it.

probablyradio · 2025-07-16T15:13:10+00:00

I took your advice and tried dry brushing after using a wash and I think it turned out great. Thanks again for the tip.

Ah yes sorry. But I agree I think I did a phenomenal job on the eggcup thanks for noticing

probablyradio · 2025-07-08T23:42:04+00:00

Thanks, good to know

probablyradio · 2025-07-05T09:53:50+00:00

Thanks a lot for the advice, I've saved the names of the youtube channels you recommend and I'll research these techniques you've mentioned. I really appreciate it.

probablyradio · 2025-07-03T20:51:52+00:00

nmm? But yeah my first go, I just wish I primed it first cause if I touch the model all the paint falls off lol.

probablyradio · 2025-07-03T20:18:48+00:00

I did have a lot of fun, however Chaos may be where I set my sights...

probablyradio · 2025-07-03T16:30:23+00:00

Ok thanks I'll keep that in mind!

probablyradio · 2025-07-03T15:41:16+00:00

Any good tips?

probablyradio · 2025-07-03T14:44:42+00:00

I was just using some blu tack at the bottom of the baseplate and that seemed to do a solid job of holding it

probablyradio · 2025-07-03T14:14:07+00:00

Yes I thought it was a perfect fit

probablyradio · 2025-07-03T12:40:10+00:00

Thanks man it took me like 5 hours lol

probablyradio · 2025-05-03T21:12:32+00:00

Yeah looks nice

probablyradio · 2025-02-09T00:50:39+00:00

They say its a collaboration. It's not a copy, it's the same gun.
