Hello sons of Vulkan, I've been thinking of joining your legion as my first foray into loyalist astartes and was wondering if the newly announced battleforce box was a good starting point. Are those units common in Salamander lists or would I be better off getting different units? It contains:

Captain In Terminator Armour

Chaplain

Redemptor Dreadnought

5 Terminators

5 Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs

10 Intercessors

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

V'esta, a Veteran Salamander Space Marine OC commissioned by u/Uhooter. Thank you so much for your support!

Really liked how this one turned out. I enjoyed conceptualizing a Salamanders spin on a power Claw that has Nocturne Dragon claws/bones and in the pattern that has finger claws that are usually just found on the chaos marines! Had lots of fun making this, hope ya'll like it!

Planning to painting one, though it won’t turn out as good as this, what are your opinion on a snow themed Salamander successor?

First model of my Angels of Death kill team, all he needs now is a varnish coat and he’s ready to go! Working on my eliminator next

These are my first salamanders I was wondering what people thought of them and how they could be improved.

I’ve read the close quarters rule 24.07 and im a bit confused. Say we are using 10 Infernus marines in engagement range. when applying this stratagem, will this allow their pistols to be shot as well?

(Sorry if this has been posted/asked before)

As title says, doing final touches and missed details on this fella and was wondering how do you guys paint glow from the backpack torches? I did the fire with an airbrush but ive never tried osl effects with it yet

I am running a Gravis Captain with Aggressors, detachments are FFS and Gravis Siege Force.

I’m trying to decide whether I should use the Immolator Enhancement for more Flamer shots or War-tempered Artifice for 6x S10 AP-2 D3 power fist on the Captain.

I hoped I can get some feedback from my brothers to help me decide.

A labor of love.

Any Tipps?

Hello brothers, bought an Intercessor Squad a week ago and today due to work finally finished the first one.

Not really satisfied, I mean its alright ... just not really 100% ok with it, (kinda gives me dark angels vibes) green to dark for me. With that being said is there any way to fix it?

Used waaagh flesh as base for the armour and grey primer

Atm ive only have the Age of sigmar paints and tools set

The emperor protects

Wanted to have special flames for sternguard pauldrons, love how this came out

I have 125 points left I'm not set on what sounds better Incursors or Company Heros?

The Spears of scylla they are a chimeric geneseed i have the lore doc here somewhere

I remember seeing someone at my a lgs play something similar to this list and was wondering if there's anything you'd change. This list seems like it would be fun to play with some slower units to move up the board and then some good damage as well plus a speedy hopefully decent killy unit

Hi all.

Here is everything I own. I have really, REALLY hard time of fitting everything I want to make a high synergy 2000 Priority Assets list without lacking any role or enhancements.

I'm trying to fit of course standard stuf - Adrax blob in some form, redeemer, don't wish to field Vulkan alone, trying Impulor + erad combo (got one, they cost too much money for the plastic IMHO to get another), put some deepstrikers with meltas AKA Land Speeders for disruption, then of course Infernus as fire support and sexondary monkeys and scouts for early objective catch, then make some use of character and enhacement combos - of course at least Immolator is a must.

This is one giant puzzle, and I can't find a satisfying solution... so I'm coming here for help.

Vulkan He’Stan done! Such a cool ass model, really hope we get more salamanders specific stuff in 11th

Heyo Salamanders. My son is building a 2000pt army and he has everything he needs for it. But I still want to give him a WH40k present. What would make a meaningful present for a player with Salamanders army? Maybe a specific unit to have in reserves? His army is Vulkan, Adrax, Infernus, Redemptor, Eradicators, Assault Intercessors, Bladeguard Veterans, Terminators with a Captain, Repulsor Executioner and Impulsor, Judiciar.

What unit could make sense as a great substitute/addon?

Also, I would like to build it and paint it for him. Would it be preferred to receive a gift built and painted or in a box is better?

Please share what you all think

UPD
Thank you all for the responses – definitely helpful and definitely no rambling. Main takeaways – Land Raider Redeemer and deep strike units. LRR is a totally new insight, special thanks for that. I don't think I have enough time to build and paint that beutiful beast, but a 3- or 5-man unit of deepstrikers – that is something I could do in 2 weeks or so before the actual date.

Thanks again to this beutiful community ^_^

I want my Salamanders to be 3rd Company Salamanders, but it is difficult to find the orange transfers. I love the look of the white since it pops so well on the black pauldrons, but painting them in quite difficult and doesnt look the way I want them to. Is there any advice to place I can just buy them? I do have Salamander upgraded stuff with raised decals but not enough for everyone I want.

Is it also okay to just..leave them white but add the 3 to the other pauldrons to show them as 3rd company?

I'm making some bases for a reiver squad and I will end up gluing them directly to cork. I feel like they'll have a chance of pulling the cork out if I'm not careful. I've thought about getting some brass rod in their feet as I've seen that's kind of the go to for modeling. Should I use brass rod? And if so which thickness should I get?
