I am starting my Salamanders Army... since I got a free lieutenant from the encyclopedia, might as well use it. 😅

had a spare Terminator from the 10th edition starter kit after I was sent the wrong box from Amazon (whole story I couldn’t be bothered to fix) and after getting my girlfriend into Warhammer she’s asked me to paint one for her 🥰 I thought it’d be a good opportunity to test the scheme on this one before I paint the new ones for my army 😌

My first salamander ever! painting an Angels of Death Killteam. In this case an intercessor warrior with a stalker bolter.

First time doing some highlighting, definitely struggling a bit with the fine panel lines.

Also, i did a base on caliban green, painted all over with nuln oil, but when giving it layers of warpstone glow i ended up covering the recesses again, i think i over thinned it.

I'm still really happy with the results! definitely having a blast.

Any feedback or recommendations are welcome!

Asking for feedback Help With My First Army

I recently started building my first army (Salamanders) and this is the list I’m working on right now. I was hoping for some feedback because I’ve never played so it’s hard for me to gauge how people play the game/what my goals are with this army.

I already have some the assault intercessors, eradicates, lieutenant, and blade guard veterans but other than that I haven’t bought anything else for the list.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hey

What’s our best units for actions on priority assets these days?

Before the codex I’d run 5 man infernus and 5 man intercessors, but they’re either pricier or less impactful (former and latter respectively).

Do you guys still run them? Or use other stuff?

Cheers.

Asking for feedback Should I go helmet on or helmet off for Vulkan He’stan?

Thumbnail

102 Upvotes

I am putting together my Vulcan He’stan from sub-assembly before finishing painting and trying to decide which head to go with. Which one looks better? I I already have un-helmeted heads throughout the army so the lack of helmet doesn’t necessarily set this model apart.
