The Salamander Army Takes Shape

 I had to have a bit of a break whilst we had our kitchen redone - my painting room was he room chosen to be “the studio flat that we all lived in whilst the work was being done, so the whole room was just full of stuff and meant all of my paints had to be packed away…..

But that’s all done now and so I got out the salamanders again as the striping and starting painting had happened before all of that.

Anyway, I settled on a nice and simple paint scheme as I have waaaaaaay too many figures and scenery waiting for some attention. So decided that I wanted to get these done and on the table quickly. First up, a grey primer for the salamander warriors and onto painting sticks as I was going to multibase them




The scheme relied on contrast paints, washes and a bit of touching up

Pleased that I was getting through the rank and file nicely, I started on the fun, flamy elements of the army. First, a red undercoat for them

A Phoenix, three flame elementals, three flaming bird thingies (not sure that’s their official title) and a bigger flaming bird thingy for a hero.

Once again, I was keen to get these done quickly, plus (and most importantly) I’m rubbish at actually doing flames on models, and so decided to go a little more abstract on the flames, as shown in progress pics below


Steady progress being made for once and next up is some more painting and onto the basing!
