Salamanders Intercessors Squad

Into the fires of battle, unto the anvil of war!

Here's the rest of my first squad of Intercessors for my Salamanders army, the Hellbenders.

I've been day dreaming a lot about creating my own custom or homebrew Space Marine chapter. I certainly have enough models to build an army out... but I've also been thinking about how cool Celestial Lions would be to paint. AND If really like to make a "grimdark" version of an army and I can only figure out how to combine two out of three of those things. The gold of the Celestial Lions doesn't seem to be gritty, weathered, and chipped. A custom army would be nifty, but I can't decide on a scheme that doesn't already exist, like Raptors, Thunderwolfen's Soul Haunters, or Caphminipainting's Nurgui Ghosts. Maybe I'll alter my White Scars?

Salamanders Badab War Veteran

Primaris Marines are great sculpts, but they will never have the soul of the old hand-sculpted models. The Badab War is my favorite battle in the 40k universe and its one of the reasons that the Salamanders are my favorite Space Marine chapter. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #salamanders #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #astartes #armageddon40k

Bad News for Deathwing

The new Balance Data Slate was released today for Warhammer 40k 9th edition and my beloved Dark Angels Deathwing list took a beating. If you don't have the codex, the fourth bullet point was the rule that gave Inner Circle infantry units, like Deathwing Terminators, Transhuman Physiology. Basically, the key feature that most players loved about the list. Rest in peace, Deathwing, we hardly knew ye. Also, what a crappy way to write that rule?! Why not simply include a sentence that says, Inner Circle models do not benefit from transhuman without use of a strategem? I know 10th edition is supposed to be cleaner and easier to understand, but this does not bode well. I'm not really a loyal Dark Angels player (see what I did there?) so I'll just shift back to playing one of my other Marines armies or orks. I've been day dreaming about a Thunder Warriors army again and dug out some bits to work on conversions. I'm loving the idea of a Age of Stryfe White Scars/Star Hunt...

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.
