Title: Horus Heresy
Post by: HerbertTarkel on 01 November 2024, 05:15:46 AM: My spouse wanted me to paint her a Salamanders army “but in yellow, not green” (there was a Rogue Trader era scheme to match).

This is the first piece, a Forgeworld land speeder! Mix of airbrush, contrast paints, hand painting.

The model is a great modern re-imagining of the classic lawnchairs-with-rocketboosters landspeeder, and the paintjob makes it shine.

I'm familiar with most RT era paintschemes, but this yellow Sallies one eludes me. Can you please share the source?

And back to topic, yup very nice paintjob.

quick search showed up this http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/1335738767/gallery_36285_7182_327352.jpeg

I remember that pic from Chapter Approved, I'm guessing the illustrator went with salamander = newt rather than dragon...

Post by: westwaller on 01 November 2024, 03:19:38 PM: The scheme is featured in White Dwarf 101 (iirc) and the RT era Warhammer 40k Compendium. It is indeed a Badab War scheme, but I don't see why it can't have been around in the HH times too.

That’s it! I sold all my RT era books forever ago, but I remembered the scheme. Cheers!

I don’t mind yellow - airbrushing makes it much easier!

Post by: hubbabubba on 04 November 2024, 10:05:49 PM: You should hit it with a raw umber oil wash, it'll bring out all the panel lines a treat on that yellow.

Agreed - it’s ALMOST there, right? Good suggestion!

Thanks, Scotty above. 👍
