Far left is the first one I did and most recent one last, switching to a chaos black primer made a big difference and the streaking is gone thank goodness. I think my green edge highlights might still be abit too conservative/dull and im still not super impressed with my eyes but def getting better, next one im going to try print out a paper stencil and maybe do the salamander logo if it works well (or if anyone else has better ideas lmk).

If anyone has any tips on how to improve even more plsss let me know ty!

Fan Art Salamander Terminator

I created a kitbash using a rigged Terminator model I had, combined with some models I got from Cults (since they were 3D-printable models, I optimized and textured them)

The base rigged 3D model of the Terminator was created by EvacTouch

[P.S.: Most of the 3D models I downloaded from Cults and used for this 3D model are from this one: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/salamander-terminator ]

Discussion/Question Deathwatch and Salamander Pauldron Question

Post image
278 Upvotes

Hi all! So, I have grown a massive liking to the monster-hunting Chapters (Iron Snakes, Emperor’s Spears, Dark Krakens, etc.), but especially the Salamanders due to their icon and the fact they’re from a volcanic world (my favorite Monsters from MH are the more volcanic-dwelling species - Brachydios, Akantor, Voljang, etc.).

That being said, I was wanting to use this shoulder piece for my DW Salamander when Patch 14 for SM2 dropped, however, the actual Salamander icon blocks out some of the text and other iconography.

So, my question is: is there a substitute icon I could use that wouldn’t block out the text, given the tilt shield has the 4th Squad icon, or do I have to bite the bullet?

I've tried about six different schemes now and think I've narrowed it down but can't decide what looks better out of these two styles.

Discussion/Question Firestorm & Forgefather Seekers going to Priority Assets.

Just curious if both the Salamander Themed Detachments going from Purge the Foe to Priority Assets will affect your Army in any way? For me, I am tempted to drop Librarius in favor of the Vengeful Host to make use of the Vanguard + JP Captain w/Immolator combo instead of the Sternguard one.

Take the lizard mount from the root line spear kit and mount a space marine with a thunder hammer the multi melta and crap and you got some dragon tamer outriders. Only real problem is that there’s not enough alternate builds to make a full squad of diverse poses but I’ll manage
