Salamander Space Marines
I recently finished a hefty commission for a force of Salamanders. I thought I'd share the results with the community here:
I have quite a few more photos in my Salamanders Space Marine gallery. Close ups, and more individuals from the various units I painted.
Anyway, what do you think?

Re: Salamander Space Marines
Ah, GN... I think I've found my only complaint with you yet!
Flames.
They are brighter the hotter they are. So, at the base of the flame, they'd be white/yellow. Near the outer tops, they'd be orange to red.

Lower rating? You ship first.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

They are magical flames Silly Rabbit!
Lower rating? I ask that you ship first. Also, if I offer a stupidly good deal and you try to negotiate even lower...don't call it bad communication that you didn't get a reply. I deleted the message.

Re: Salamander Space Marines
I agree with you entirely that flames should be painted with a brighter, hot base, and that they then get cooler and therefore less bright as they raise.
On all of these minis, the only time that I painted anything to look like an actual flame was on Vulkan He'Stan (his iron halo is on fire). The rest of the flames are essentially decals that someone painted on the side of the vehicles and armor.
I used the two methods of painting flames as a way to distinguish between the actual flames and the decals. As for how effective this is, that's up to you.

Rita Rudner:
“Some women hold up dresses that are so ugly, and they always say the same thing: 'This looks much better on.'
On what? On fire?”
I caught your idealistic drift after MM posted. I had to look at all the images, but anywhere there is real fire, you painted the flames 'properly'. Really nice work overall!!

Re: Salamander Space Marines
Okay... OT first...
Wow.
I ALWAYS thought Rita was hot (funny chicks are hot). That picture just confirms it.
What is she, now? Fifties? She's probably "surgically enhanced."
I don't care. Hawt iz hawt.
Back on topic.
Didn't even notice the Halo. Wow. THAT is a spectacular flame job!
Personally, I think all the flames should've been done that way... but, at least I understand the method to your madness!
Thanks!
Eric

Re: Salamander Space Marines
I absolutely LOVE the work on the TH/SS models. Seriously.. I'm half tempted to start Salamanders and have you paint me a squad of Termies just like that. lol

Are you using a new hosting site. All of these pics are not showing up at work.

Re: Salamander Space Marines
I've started hosting with a different site since I painted these. However, these should still be hosted on the old site, and they're showing up for me just fine.
Is anyone else having trouble?
