@mcjwarhammer Thanks for the comments. It honestly felt so good to get the first one out of the way... and from a tabletop standard I think he looks great.

This particular mini was kind of an "extra" model that I ended up with that I thought to experiment with. I have another that I'm going to try the base-coat/highlight approach, so we'll see which I like better.

I'm expecting my Salamanders CP box to arrive to form the basis of my army and the serious painting will begin. I have a 1k list planned out based on that box that should be decent; I can't wait to play an actual game. lol

Whilst I am looking for a bit darker green to my 'manders, I really love the Salamanders you've displayed on your feed. They look fantastic in the photos.

I finally got a chance to get down to business and start painting the Warhammer minis that I've been collecting over the past 2 months or so. I'm so happy that my first ever mini is painted!

I tried the SlapChop technique and wow, it was more challenging that I was expecting. Drybrushing effectively is harder than it looks, and AP Speedpaints dry FAST... and once they're dry on the pallette, they're done.

I'm super happy with how my first Salamander Space Marine turned out, even if it's no where near perfect. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun painting it.

Bladeguard Ancient done! This puts me at only three models remaining for the Indomitus box set.

Practicing freehand. I decided to follow the same heraldry style as the “canonical Bladeguard ancient”: top left a solid block (red); checks in the top right; a small chapter symbol in the bottom left.

See alt text for steps. I’m pretty happy with how this turned out.

Locked and loaded and ready to paint after the holidays!

Hear me out: #salamanders40k veterans, but the tabards are painted as brown leather aprons. Since, y'know, blacksmiths.
In other news I may be getting a unit of Sternguard next month
This guy is a bit of an experiment. Lava librarian. #warhammer40k #salamanders40k
