I saw red Warden miniatures has a decent free 3d file for some fancy salamander chapter symbol shoulder pads

[@jackudall1824]

I really like the video but there is one thing you did wrong the salamanders have black backpacks not green

[@halfcrafted]

Finally, I now have everything I need to paint every Ultramarine I come across glorious Salamanders green! VULCAN LIVES!!!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Quick tip: just add a yellow glaze to Ultramarines to turn them into a much better chapter ;)

This is easily one of the best videos you’ve made, here’s hoping the pride of Baal is next

[@heartmountains]

I'm sure this video took a lot of work Guy but I would adore more videos like this. My beloved Blood Angels getting a video would be really special!

[@MidwinterMinis]

It took a ton of work, yes, but it was a new format, so that was always going to be the case. My first video took 2 months to make, haha

[@walorani5448]

I would love to see this done for the Iron Hands. Glory to the Gorgon!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Maybe one day!

[@synthetic240]

I don't really play, but I do have an Iron Hands venerable dreadnought. I replaced the head with a more robotic Tau one and added some Mechanicum weapons on little mecha-tentacles or whatever they're called.

[@archieaburden]

Video would be about 2 minutes long with the current state of iron hands lore lmao

Look at the tastful thickness of the paint, the subtle highlights. Oh my God, he even put burn marks on the barrel.

[@crimsonchapperling]

LETS GO!!! I LOVE SALAMANDERS!!! Other easy conversions are just using MK3 heads & Shoulders, Red-Warden miniatures also has some fantastic 3d printable bits!

[@Springtrap11556]

Plus lyche skin makes great lizard scale fabric! Not my idea!

[@notaninquisitor7274]

A very Salamander army is 18 flamer Aggressors, 18 Eradicators, 2 Land Raider Redeemers, Vulkan, and an Apothecary Biologis with Bolter Discipline enhancement. It may be difficult to do mission objectives due to the small number of squads, but they are rather durable and capable of killing stuff.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Sounds absolutely brutal!

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

honestly i would swap out some of the eradicators and aggressors for heavy intercessors

[@Bluecho4]

Do you really need that many troops, when the enemy's infantry and vehicles/monsters are all charred, smoking ruins?

[@evilmonkeylords]

Current list is as follows 2 Land Raider redeemer's 2 invader atvs w/ multi meltas Drop pod Adrax w/6 blade guard Captain in gravis armor w/ 6 Flame aggressors Vulkan He'stan and librarian (for 4+ invul) w/ 10 infernus marines 6 eradicators w/ Apothecary Biologis for lethal hits 5 infiltrators

[@PlasticAddict301]

@@evilmonkeylords The Gravis Captain, He'Stan, and Agatone bricks are very efficient for how thematic they are, I love this army​.

[@KateHolden]

I could not have wished to be featured in a MWM video in a better way than with that drawing of Salamander Face.

[@Springtrap11556]

As Guy said, "He is beuty, he is grace. *He has a Salamander face.*

[@LinkiePup]

Though its official, and thus more expensive. The Forge World Salamanders Decals for the Horus Heresy are absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Yeah, I've heard even from people who like to keep things on a budget that the FW transfers are veeery nice

[@toastle8005]

Sad, though, as they tend to go the way of the dodo without much warning or get replaced with newer sheets that have lost some of the magic :(

[@deadotter5114]

This is my type of content. everything in one video whilst i work. Great work.

[@hedu5017]

Really like this new kind of video! Always thought I wasn't that bothered about collecting Space Marines compared to other factions but you've now got me thinking about Salamander successor chapter colour schemes! Also love a cork based base!

[@krystalmesh]

I am STOKED for this series. Especially the conversions and tactics ideas. Looking forward to the next installment!

[@icecattabletop]

This should most definitely be a series, I’d love to see some of the more peculiar chapters like the iron hands or space wolves

[@artyoz]

I love the idea for this series, and I'm really glad it started with the Salamanders -- super underrated chapter. Of course I'd love to see this branch out to other factions, like the Imperial Guard regiments, but I also know that's asking a *lot* given just how many Astartes chapters there are to go through!

[@WarhammerFanatic]

Seeing you paint Raven guard would be AWESOME!!!

[@origulator]

I think I have the exact same glass as the one you drink out of at the start here. Nice choice of drink too

[@simonandersson4918]

Couldnt have asked for a better video on my favorite chapter!

SALAMANDERS MENTIONED 💥💥💥💥🦅🦅🦅🐉🐉🐉🎉🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@anotherzingbo]

Kate's drawing of a salamander Salamander may be the best thing ever.

[@Meuduso1]

Great video, love to see attention being given to the Salamanders As a Salamander painter myself, here's some other tipps: 1) I prefer to do the opposite of Guy's lava base effect but that's just preference. Instead of making the spots darker, you can go the other way around and start off with a uniform red and then go lighter. Gives it a much more subdued look. 2) Experiment with secondary colours. For example the red eye lenses work from a lore standpoint but often they're depicted with yellow ones instead, hiding their red eyes. This can be used to make unhelmeted marines stand out a bit more and imo aids the more humane look of the Salamanders. Further I usually paint any scales in a dark red but I've also seen them in black or violet. This breaks up the green nicely. Same thing wiht the gold, you can go for a dirty look with a brown wash or give it a red tinge with a red wash, which makes it stand out that bit more from the green 3) To get some of that dusty look if you want to have your Salmanders in an ashy field or waste, use pigment powders! They're excellent for this though not that good at sticking around if you actually play with them unless you lock them in with a coat of varnish, which imo dampens the effect a bit. Lastly there's the shoulder trim question that I see a lot online when it comes to Salamanders. Sometimes they're painted with golden trim, sometimes with green. You can go with whichever you like, I personally like giving only the veteran and high ranking units a golden trim, while standard troops stick with the green trim. Makes those other units stand out a bit more.

[@skygann4040]

One of my favorite videos you’ve ever done! I hope the next one brings glory to the khan! I could really use some help with the white paint

[@AtreiusLux]

"Huzzah! A man of quality!" I've been using thermoplastic moulding material (blue stuff) to make impressions/moulds from the Forgeworld Firedrake Terminators, particularly the tabards, for my conversions. There's also loads of 3d printed helmets (shapeways and etsy) with stylized drake helms similar to those worn by aforementioned Terminators and the Pyroclasts. Also I've gone for a slightly more natural/muted green using Molotow Premium's Fern Green as the main colour, sprayed from above and sides leaving the black just showing on the undersides. The whole model is then given a Biel Tan green wash then given a light drybrush with Moot Green for quick and easy highlight, giving the impression of shadows on the underside but still with a slight green tone.

[@erickavery1]

Don't need another episode, already did the best chapter!

[@ochoaE3]

My way of painting bare Salamander faces is to prime with black, and then, dry brush with a dark grey. The nicely detailed GW faces work well with this.

[@Jamgeoso]

Absolutely love that milliput trick! And if you don't have a cool texture thingy, you can use different stuff for that effect, lke thise toy dinos or even an avocado... It's the correct green after all. Loved the video format. I'm not usually a sapce marine person but they're so central to lore of 40k that it's cool to get that background in.

[@kelvinjames8045]

Yes, more Lore alongside painting would be fantastic, especially for new players like myself

[@mauropaolone2818]

Great idea! Congrats! Looking forward for the wolves🐺🐺🐺

[@kennethphillips6006]

Great video. Hope this Astartes Archive series continues! I’d love to see it cover all 18 legions.

[@baalrog887]

Thanks for including my mini (on its best side too no less)! I'm not the most accomplished painter by any stretch, in fact I would say mine was the least good of the bunch, some truly amazing painters in the community! But I'm super happy with the freehanded flames and for an experiment (I'm an ork boy mainly) I don't think its too shabby!

[@Shrek40K]

The new studio looks great man! I really loved this video. The lore part was epic, and the painting was also amazing, perfect content as always Guy, great stuff 👏👏👏

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks matey! Nice to hear you think the style-gamble paid off :)

[@Shrek40K]

@@MidwinterMinis it’s great :)

[@christelford4788]

This was really timely, as I'd settled on Salamanders for my Leviathan marines. I was also planning on scratch molding some dragon hide on the pauldron, but wasn't sure how to approach it. Really appreciate the help this video is going to be!

[@tsoliot5913]

I love this format. If i could make a suggestion; intersperse the lore, rules, and errata to fit in between steps of a paint-a-long presentation. That way you have something to listen to in between steps and while the model dries

[@KROZIUS666]

Lamenters would be awesome to see in this series!

[@chaoticrevenge7950]

After I'm done with my armies of Vashtorr list I plan on getting into Salamanders so this video is perfect!

[@colincatalan6313]

Lamenters are a fan favorite no one plays because they're infamously hard to paint, so I think it'd be pretty cool to teach us how to paint them so we can give more love to the unlucky lads

[@ml6158]

I love the end of video community pics, it makes me not feel so bad about my painting.

[@Mattybs_Miniatures]

This is by far one of the best videos you've made, everything you need to know in one video definitely would like to see a series that is for sure :)

[@moneymayweather123]

This is awesome, I just started collecting 40K, and choose Space Wolves, would love to see them next 😊

[@JNicls]

The new studiolook looks amazing

[@v0dka885]

I hope you do one on Space Wolves, I've done something unique with my space wolves to make them a little interesting. With the Primaris space marines being incorporated into the legion I've decided to make them stand out by incorporating Viking traditions into their scheme, lesser experienced Space Wolves have normal weapons but the more experienced Space Wolves have a lot more decoration to them to make them stand out more. I did this because historically Vikings battle experience is shown through their weapons and armour and not only did it show experience but showed wealth too.

[@phillipbritton3836]

Definitely a great video to sit through. I'm building a detachment unit from the salamanders called the dark krakens. Not my idea , found them in another lore video

[@Johndoe-co3pw]

Love the video. A little tip I prefer a product called chroma crackle as opposed to mordant earth you get way more in the tube for the cost and the product can make large cracks or small cracks depending upon how thick you apply it.

[@danieljvanrensburg]

New studio is pretty lit

Absolutely superb video Guy, I'd love to see one of these type videos about the Blood Angels. I've been out of the Hobby some 20+ years and only starting to get back into it. I've recently dug out all my old Pewter models (98% are unpainted) . . . And finding myself looking on eBay for even more . . . I really need to start painting some of them up.

This is great!! Thanks man subbing to the channel. I’m building a deathwatch army but over the years I’ve painted all my extra marines from kits as salamanders. Love them if I started over I would just just go straight salamanders.

These guys helped me when i was in a very dark part of my life. I was depressed, absolutely hated myself, and the pandemic made things worse. I had a hard time picking my army when i decided to get into the hobby but i ultimately picked Salamanders and it was the best decisions ive ever made. I loved learning they're lore and painting them was really fun and now my mental health has greatly improved and so has my skill, tho I'm no where as good as you.

[@MidwinterMinis]
