Okay guys, today I am presenting part II of my Deatchwatch unit that comprises the sergeant.

Deathwatch squad #1

Hi everyone,

I am quite late with what I was suppose to finish these last few days. My family and I are moving to Germany at the end of the year, so the preparation of the move, work and other stuff did not give me enough time to finish my ongoing projects.

Nevertheless, I still managed to take a few pictures of my finished Deathwatch unit. I started to paint this unit back in 2016. This is the kind of things that make you realise that time really flies and that I abandon some project to take on others. This is a habit I really ought to change. That said, I took nice pictures of this unit that I really like because of the shoulder pads from different chapter you can had.

As I built this unit using the new tactical squad, bases are bigger than old ones and so the marine do not fit all in one picture... So let's have a look at the first batch:

Deathwatch Crimson Fist Marine

Deathwatch Blood Angel Marine

Deathwatch Mentor Legion Marine

New arm for my first Salamanders Dreadnought

Hello everyone,

Two days ago I was posting a few pictures of my second Salamanders Dreadnought with its magnetised arms. Well I forgot to mention that I also had painted extra magnetised arms for my first Dreadnought. I have a power fist and a minigun. Nice different combos:

The two Salamanders Dreadnoughts together!

Hi everyone,

Whilst taking pictures of my second dreadnought, I thought it would be cool to have the two brothers reunited in one picture. They really look awesome!

Second Salamanders Dreadnought

Hi guys, do you remember when I told you that I had painted the arms of my second Salamanders Dreadnought? Well, let's just say that I finished them this weekend. With the box, I had a power fist or missile launcher for the left arm and a lascannon for the right arm. In addition, I searched through Ebay to find additional arms that looked cool and found a plasma cannon as well as something unidentified which looks like a double heavy bolter. These are all painted now. I still have arms in my bitz box that I plan on painting: two autocannons. Here are a few pictures of the few combinations I can make. Of course, you will probably have guessed by now that every arm is magnetised and can be changed at will!

The painting scheme is roughly the same as my first dreadnought. I just exchanged the two leg plates with the flames on the right leg this time. I also thought the a gold fist would make a great touch, as gold and green really go well together.

WIP: Salamanders Captain

 Hi guys,

Just a quick picture of the airbrush work I did on this cape. It is for my Salamanders captain. Basically, I just did gradients of yellow/orange/red. I then applied the stencil I bought from Anarchy Models and painted the background in black. The "coal" at the base was made with a micron pen, the same I use for painting pupils in the eyes. Call that cheating if you want, but I find it way easier than with a brush.

WIP: Second Salamanders Tactical Squad

Hi guys,

In the middle of repainting my Empire army, I still stick to my goal of finishing my Salamanders. At present, it is almost done. I still have 1 tactical squad, 1 veteran squad, the Legion of the Damned, 1 devastator squad, 1 captain and three scout bikes to finish. So I am almost done.

So let's continue with my second tactical squad. After painting my first one with a plain and simple scheme, I wanted to have something to differentiate the second one. I had bought a decal sheet for the Mentor legion a while back when painting my Deathwatch Unit (I think I need to post pictures of the one...) which included red tactical squad symbols. You will be able to see them on the right should pads. I am actually really happy with the results as I think the red blends well with the rest of the green armour.

This is not the "typical" tactical squad but rather the Salamanders tactical squad that you could buy around 15 years ago when they release a "special edition" at the time of the Armageddon world campaign:

In the codex Armageddon, Salamander could have in a tactical squad a plasma rifle AND a multi melta, which was the reason for releasing this special box.

Anyway, enjoy:
