    1st painted Salamander cloak

    Here is my 1st Salamander Veteran all painted up. I'd show the rest, but I absolutely ruined the helmet trying to paint it white...So I'll just show the cloak that I'm actually proud of. It was one of my first attempts at wet blending.

    I like it. A full squad with those will be awesome.

    Not as criticism but I think the veteran helmets for the Salamanders are red. Also, from personal experience it looks totally sweet to do red for the helmet, and totally not like christmas marines

    I have thought about doing red as vet helmets, but I always heard that their helmets were white...This might change some things, any suggestions on painting up a red helmet?

    Thanks! I'm going to try out some other color combinations, that way each cloak comes from a "unique" salamander. I kinda ruined the rest of the model with bad highlighting and attempting to paint white.

    Simple green! Remove the back pack first!

    That's the idea. I've got a batch of some of my first tactical marines that need a bath in simple green.
