Librarius Conclave + Forgefather’s Seekers, Pyromancy Discipline.

Terminator Librarian with Celerity, leading 10 Terminators w/ Missile Launchers. Rapid Ingress for free. Rapid Fire 2 on Bolters.

44 Storm Bolter shots at STR5 AP1.
4D6 Frag shots at STR5 AP1, or 4 Krak shots at STR 10 AP3.
D6 Smite shots at ST6 AP2, or focused at ST7 AP3.

And then I can charge with 30 Power Fist attacks?

ALL with +1 to Hit on the Oath target?!?

AND EVERY ATTACK HAS SUSTAINED HITS 1?!?

HOLY TERRA.

Trying some NMM and getting more depth with volumetric highlighting. Pleased overall but specific tips are appreciated! Big fan of Agatone from the Salamnder books so he got to be the miniature of choice 🦎

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!

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 Changes to Bladeguard Veteran's Ability

34 Upvotes

So with the new balance data slate some of our key units have had points changes; infernus marines are up 10+ per 10-strong squad, while aggressors got decent points cuts. While these and the force disposition switch to priority assets is very big for all of us, an interesting change happened to Bladeguard Veterans, whose ability has been reworked. I know a lot of us run them with Adrax, so I am very curious if this is more of a nerf, buff or just a change.

This is the second mini I’ve painted after ~18 year break, thought I’d try and do one for all of the coolest chapters. Not sure why the green is so glossy or why I swapped the backpack and helmet colours. Anyway I think he needs so orange somewhere? Feedback welcome!

Big fan of the photo backdrop thing in the latest white dwarf.

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

My flying prometheum bearers are now sad they cannot burninate all the heretics.

Edit: Was corrected that I had missed the war gear line that hand flamers can be kept but without the mastercrafted power swords. My fault for wanting the best of both worlds.
