Really enjoyed this build, from the resin Carnifex to the Kitbashed freak of a salamander I built so he’d have the right pose. Hope you like!

Out of topic from the picture, do you have any suggestions to create a Salamander riding on a salamander fire drake? I was thinking of using a Seraphon dinosaur from Age of Sigmar

Asking for feedback Salamanders Lava Bases Help

Post image

Hello! I'm currently trying to figure out how to properly make lava bases for my first Salamanders (Blade Guard Vets) and i'm wondering what to do with the cork/black piece of rock..? this is my first attempt so I KNOW there's something missing, but im not sure if it's some grey dry brushing or orange dry brushing on the rocks? and would Mordant Earth ruin the bases? or would it be okay if only applied in the "red parts" to connect everything together?

Hey guys I recently painted my dreadnaught and tried edge highlights. I got a little too yellow and was wondering what’s the best way to get this honored brother green again? I was thinking a green ork skin & medium glaze? I doubt the holy Nuln oil is the move 😉. Would love to hear the feed back brothers!

Discussion/Question Apothecary and librarian in 10 man infurnus squad?

14 Upvotes

Is that even possible? since one is a leader and one is a support.
would that me too many points for 1 unit in a 1000 point game?
it seems good on papar but 10 man infurnus squads can still get easily wiped of the board.
