107. Annihilation! Salamders part 8.

I promised more pictures, so here they are!


Assault squad 1




Assault squad 2




Bolter Marines with Librarian Dak'ir




Bolter Marine squad 2




'Command Squad' With Librarian Pyriel




Captain.




Drop pods in progress.




Woo.
The Bolter Marines form the core of my Devastator squads.
I need to wait until I can get the 5 multi melta's I need from Forge World before I can finish those squads.

I'm building the drop pods into sub assemblies for painting, and when that's done I'll move on to refurbishing my two Vindicators.

It's getting there.... painting, not so much XD

Ah well.

Until next time

106. Don't lose your head! Salamanders part 7.


And we're back to the Salamanders!
Expect me to yo-yo between several projects...I just can't seem to keep my focus on any one at a time.

So, today we have the assault marines that I need for my Skyhammer annihilator force.




2 units of 7. Each with a flamer and Eviscerator
Headless, I know.
I'm working on it!


The army is getting there.
Here is all the infantry so far;



A few bit to add here and there, and I also need like 5 more multi meltas XD
They will have to wait until my trip to forge world for sure.


That's all for now, but expect a new post sooner rather than later!

Peace!

Peace!

104. Bon Anniversaire! Salamanders part 6.

We're back on the 40k train baby!!

I know it's been a while, and I'm sorry.

There was a good stretch where I just lost enthusiasm for the hobby again... couple this with moving all of my hobby to another room (nothing kills a hobby groove like not knowing where anything is anymore), and painting for work and it just dried up.

I've recently been made redundant too (I'll talk more about this on the Science of selling yourself short soon).
As of the 1st of October I'm officially unemployed, so I've had to look for work.

Weirdly though, this kinda kick started my need to hobby again XD


So, let's see what I've been up to eh?

Post hobby move, I decided to get all of my bits out and get to work...
I didn't quite know what I wanted to do though, then I saw this guy, still BNIB sitting on top of the pile, and he just had to have the Salamander treatment.

Nothing drastic, but enough to start.

There is more coming... and soon.
So stay tuned, and refresh your memories by flicking back through the previous posts.

Thanks for checking in, and I'll post again soon!

99. Vulkan Lives! Salamanders part 5.

....well, kinda.

What Salamanders army would be complete without Vulkan He'Stan.
However, I'm not a big fan of the official one, it just doesn't fit with how he looks in my head.

So years ago I decided to make my own, but I never got round to uploading him.
But here he is!

med_gallery_33843_6479_355680.jpg

med_gallery_33843_6479_115033.jpg


It's an Emperors Champion body, with a Mk 4 helmet (the 1 you got in the Black Templar kit as the Heresy range and Calth were not out yet), a plastic grey knight Nemesis force halberd (which replaced the metal one he used to have), and an apothracery gauntlet for the crazy hand flamer.... the barrel fell off while I was photographing him.

Small update for today.
we'll see what I can dig out for the next one!

Peace

98. Devastator ready! Salamanders part 4.

So I'm back.
Not such a big gap this time eh?

I've actually done a fair whack of Sallies, it's just getting round to updating my various stuff.
I've been super busy with other things too.
If you wan to know what they are, check out my main blog!

But that isn't why you're here (or shouldn't be anyway), so on with the show?

I wrote up a list for my Salamanders, I can't remember if I mentioned it, but essentially it revolves around the Skyhammer Annihilation force formation.
Which they are conveniently releasing in a book this weekend.

Long story short Devastators, Drop pods and Assault marines, and due to the unique rules of the formation it pays to have a lot of devastators with bolters...
So out of the mass of Marines I had to build, that is where I started.

Now, I want a fair amount of drakescale cloaks and unique armour and arms in ym army.
At the same time I didn't just want to spam corsair cloaks, as awesome as they are

So more pillaging of the Fyrelayers then!

med_gallery_33843_6479_37847.jpg


This more armoured scale cloak is actually a Magmadroth leg piece!
The front side needs some greenstuff work to make it look like an actual cloak form the front, but I think it looks pretty good considering!
Once again, thanks to a friend for the bitz!

Here is the Sergeant with his squad;

med_gallery_33843_6479_109027.jpg


The guy with the thunder hammer will be used as the tactical squad sergeant should I even use them in that role instead.
(He's sneakily an exact copy of my Deathwatch Salamander from before Overkill was a thing)

Now, as the Skyhammer specifies two squads of Devastators...

More bolters! In this case it is captain pointy hands who is the understudy.


So yeah, you may be asking 'where are the heavy weapons?'
Well this is for a few reasons.

A ) I'm using the 'x' point heavy weapon idea...
basically my list just says 4 times 'XX point' heavy weapons.
This allows me to change it as I see fit.
This means...

 B ) I need to magnatise each heavy weapon devastator.
This is time consuming, and also means that...

C ) I need 8 of each heavy weapons that costs 'xx' points, but mainly, I need 8 Multi Meltas, as that is what I'll probably run being Salamanders.

So yeah.
8 Multi Meltas...

That's all from The Underhive for now!
Like I said, I've been busy with other stuff... if you'd like to know what check out my main blog - http://darkhazzl3.blogspot.com



But in short;
Mice & Mysitcs and new amiibo stuff - Main Blog

Twitch Streams of Hearthstone, Rocket League and Chronicle: Runescape Legends 
YouTube highlight reels, and other interesting videos (most of which are currently being edited).


So yeah, if you want a head up on what I'm doing and when, follow me on Twitter, or Instagram if you like spoiler pictures and junk.



That's it for now, so catch you next time hivers!
