Day 2 of asking EonsOfBattle to make a review of All quiet on the Martian front 2nd edition return of the tripods.

When i first heard about the Salamanders being friendly to normal humans i thought they were basically firefighters, i'm sorta not wrong

[@medeaMULTIMEDIA]

reverse firefighters

[@AzkuulaKtaktu]

Damn now I want yellow salamanders with red hats shooting water from their "hosers"

[@MxlexywithaY]

@@medeaMULTIMEDIA yeh, FIRE-fighters

[@bagel_guy9495]

Literal fire fighters

[@deadfrogfoot]

fighting fire with fire

[@TheTygre]

The sandpaper as dragon hide is a stroke of absolute genius, but I also want to give a shoutout to the beads as bubbles idea. Took me completely by surprise.

[@KHFanForAll]

Yes! As a student of cosmetology and a lover of miniature wargaming, I LOVE the idea of using items from both hobbies interchangeably. The nail art section is teeming with creative solutions for environments and tools!

[@Sharklops]

Scale scales and bubble doubles!

[@mr.potato2223]

Congrats, you've single handedly revelutionized how people put scales on their models

[@noobflyboyx3301]

I love the sandpaper idea. The dragon skin effect is really nice.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Yes, you beat me to it. I was skeptical until the prime and it looks REALLY good and is REALLY easy! I’m definitely gonna try that. What grit did he say it was? 50?

[@stagthechainsawbeserker3926]

@@magnusmillerwilson I think he said 30

[@clashhoyland9583]

​@@magnusmillerwilsonI'm pretty sure he said 80 grit

[@Schmaglow]

EOB is by far my favorite miniature painting channel. Jay is just such a goober and gets so into what he’s doing and is so incredibly talented at painting and making good painting done quickly more digestible for plebs like me. Love Nick in the background editing too. Keep up the awesome videos

[@euansmith3699]

Jay, the Crotch-King; he knows what's hanging. Thanks for another fun video, and a peek at a great paint job. The simplified hot-rod flames look very strong.

[@JayTeacakes]

Salamanders always get an upvote! Nice idea on the sandpaper, I did the miliput&greenstuff sculpting for my Salamanders Intercession Killteam but might have to steal that idea for the Scout KT I want to build

[@TheDeadPoolfan]

You gotta do a crimson fist marine ,a soul drinker, Excoriators, a executioners, and imperial fist marines and then you can have a last wall protocol kill team with your black templar

[@blepkip8347]

The Sons Of The Phoenix have an amazing scheme and style (and some spicy lore) and dont get as nearly as much love as they should

[@robert2pkt0]

Amazing idea!

[@Krasher247]

SOUL DRINKERS !!! Do them next :) But first finish the salamander!!! The lava base was waaaaayyyy to yellow, and the hot rod flames need orange :)

[@DannyRollinson]

I think next chapter should be your take on Carcharodons! The shark chapter

[@valkainen7359]

I'd like to see you do a really gnarly Iron Hands Space Marine, with bionic arms or legs, just full on embrace the "Flesh is Weak" vibe.

[@macaulylovatt8009]

Honestly I'd love to see your take on the legion of the damned or maybe a chapter with a metallic colour like the celestial lions either way love your work and looking forward to more

[@Brickerbrack]

I used to play Salamanders years ago, when I was still in the game. I _love_ your sandpaper scales idea; that's a stroke of genius! I made really simple lava bases for most by covering them in wall filler/spackle and carving cracks into them, then painting the cracks in red and yellow, and the actual surface in black...

[@joshward2868]

The day I’ve wished for has finally arrived! I’m an avid Salamanders fan and have been (not so) patiently waiting for Jay to put his version of them out. 15/10 video!

[@Sharklops]

That hint of OSL with the yellow glow really brings it together

[@fernandocabette6050]

I heard i cool explanation why Salamanders are given the most horrific weapons. Since they are that nice, they will know how to wield the power of war crime level weapons responsabily.

[@austagtheglorious4534]

The sand paper as scale hides is genius! I've been meticulously placing individual scales and it's madness!

[@LordMuelli]

Nice Job with the Salamander! Would love to see your version of Crimson Fists!

[@elfbait3774]

Crimson Fists have always been a favorite of mine, since Rogue Trader. Personally, I think no other chapter has been done more dirty by GW than them. They were the OG poster children for the game. Right up on the cover of the book and the first plastic boxed set. Somehow, the Ultramarines eclipsed them and then more chapters came on the scene that kep pushing them further into the background.

[@ThicknSwift]

Salamanders player here, just wanted you to know I’m definitely going to be stealing the the sandpaper scales in the future it looks awesome. 😊

[@stefanhirschvogel254]

Great job, sometimes its just about the fun and not to collect an army. I would love to see a carcharodon next 😁

[@sir_ridley388]

all the extra bits that makes salamanders unique are my favorite part. also makes them great for 3d printing all their bits and bobs but that sandpaper idea is fantastic.

[@EatPoo]

I'd love to see something vastly different to anything you've done. Maybe the Ravenguard?

[@tuskarthetauren]

But itˋs black armor like the Templars.

[@Duck_Bob]

@@tuskarthetauren i think thats the joke

[@Neolazaro91]

Even better, Deathwatch

[@nacidocoqui]

2:56 We're just gonna gloss over that, eh? There's... a lot to unpack here... 🤣 Great little kitbash, final result came out great!

[@NigeyWigey]

The sandpaper trick is super good! You can definitely do a squad with little effort!

[@zeterzero4356]

Love this. Stealing that sand paper idea. Also SPACE SHARKS.

[@xtremeslayten9534]

Blood angels would undoubtedly look amazing in your painting style

[@MrFairbanksak1]

"Space marines are the good guys" Sir. SIR.

[@Sliperypickle000]

as a salamander player seeing those kitbashed sanding paper dragonskins i am so happy because i never thought of that and i wanted more customization that dosent require printing! also can we get more specific details on that needle allocator thingy you used to make the centers of the greenstuff balls for the skins?

[@akumaking1]

VULKAN LIVES!

[@da.jo.kerrrr]

STOMP STOMP

[@louimath5520]

One trick I've seen for yellows is to use either pink or magenta as a base and then go over with yellows. Helps make it pop a lot

[@bikzimusmaximus5250]

A fun thing people do over in gunpla is using pink primer for reds, so if that is a new or enticing concept, you could try painting a blood angel next.

[@MrArbiter103]

A minotaur space marine would be a great next project, as it would be a great opportunity to see if your "dry brushing metallics over a non-metallic base coat" technique would work on a whole model. Plus theres lots of opportunity for kitbashing

[@harkinsaquatics]

As a 24 year long Salamanders player. I have 100 heresy marines and Vulkan, over 350 old marines and a whole mechanized unit and of course I have about 125 primaris marines. It's been a love hate relationship with the flames and the darkness. My marines have gone from forest green in the heresy to classic marine and now my primaris are almost bright green. I have moved them along to make them appear less scary and more a hope of the imperium.

[@sirpugsalot6113]

You should make some lamenters

[@virgilromero3252]

Solid work on the Salamander! I’ve about 10k worth of them, currently finishing up the last of the first company detachment and a helmeted version of Adrax. Thank you for the sand paper tip, I’ll give it a shot with 50 grit on my judiciar kitbash

[@joshvalenti9154]

The sandpaper idea is genuinely a game changer ill definitely be using this when i get around to building my salamanders

[@SamuelWorsdale-yh6gm]

Thank you Jay! There just isn’t enough Salamanders content out there!

[@keeganpatrick2051]

That turned out great! I love seeing them get some attention. As a Salamanders player my only gripe is that the Salamander transfer is backwards on his left shoulder

[@TDavis1121]

I use the sandpaper idea on all of my sergeants and heroes it’s awesome. And I use the speed paint mixture with just an extra drop of shamrock green

[@calumchamberlain2861]

Thank Jay for painting up one of my Lads. He looks awesome!!!!😁. Crimson fist , Blood Raven or a Raven Guard next? Maybe a Raptor if you haven't done one yet ?

[@cynicfenrir3514]

Some Kroot marines would be cool to see. Or a small short of single character marines from Custom chapters. Have a short form facts sheet and you can go through pick a few or rng who’s chapters make an appearance

[@SwabianClancy]

I've been thinking for months about how I can simulate lizard skin without having to do a lot of modelling. I've never come across sandpaper, but this is brilliant. I'll give it a try.

[@foreverfornever1124]

Fun tid bit for any space marine fans out there, Killteam is actually the way to go if you want to dabble in other chapters. I own Salamanders. yet all 3 of my current space marine teams are painted in crimson fist, space wolves, and raven guard, all being jazzed up with unique bits to get them extra special since Ill never own these amries. Im looking forward to the Scouts as I want them to be Dark angels with a more medieval asethetic, sort of like knight squires

[@Why_does_this_exist_YouTube]

I would love to see more of these videos of standalone chapters. On the topic of what chapters to do, I would say the Raven guard, the idea for them is just cool

[@CopperAndCutGrass]

That sandpaper for salamander skin trick would have been hella handy back when I was working on Salamanders. Kinda makes me itch to revisit them.

[@DaBearSquid42]

Love this series Jay! Really fun watching you paint up a new and unfamiliar chapter for a day

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

You are so freakin good at improvising creatively with materials. One of the many reasons that you're my favorite minis channel.

[@puppethound]

Space Wolves and Salamanders are my favorite

[@lampario2862]

I'm new to 40k, decided on salamanders, and just finished building my space marine half of the leviathan box last night. The timing of this video is awesome! Thanks man

[@why22214]

Love the look of the sand paper gotta try it on my devastators

[@MyOwnUTube1]

As a salamnders collector I hope GW sees this and gives them more love 😢

[@Drummercommander]

I asked if you could tackle a Salamander a short while back and you obliged :D Awesome looking model! I love how you kept the backpack black: it's already detailed enough

[@DragonsHoardOfPlastic]

The sandpaper for dragon skin is genius, I gotta try that sometime 👌

[@thevincatYT]

I think Dark Angels next is a no brainer! There is hype from all the recent releases so there will be a built-in audience. Plus, I'm getting back into the hobby after about 15 years and starting a Dark Angels army, so I'd selfishly love some tips :)

[@treyturner9707]

As a Salamanders player I am shocked by how good those sandpaper scales came out and I don't know how no one else has ever thought of it before

[@halocombatevolvedmagnum612]

Definitely going to try this. It’s been too much of a hassle to track down templates and materials to recreate scale hide for my guys and this looks perfect!

[@damiengoulet2396]

Every so often, I imagine a situation involving a Salamander meeting one of his relative and it always makes me smile. Like, imagine a salamander marine, this 8 feet tall, 400 pounds of muscle and grit, beast of a man visiting his grandma. She hugs him and goes like "you look scrawny compared to the last time I saw you, are you sure they are feeding you enough on duty ?"

[@thekeaton9578]

Funny I was painting salamanders last night and I thought how would rob paint it well I guess I have my answer 😂great paint job as always

[@almightygyro]

Coming from a salamanders player, I'm so glad you did this and you've given me some good ideas to spice mine up. Thanks!

[@skullcrackermago8168]

Salamanders are my favourite chapter There actually so cool

[@Its_Paddyy]

using sand paper for scales is a 200 IQ idea gonna need to try this

[@oceanman1687]

Great work as usual man. Absolutely nailed it 👍

[@cetx]

That Salamander looks amazing. I vote for Blood Angels next, but specifically the Flesh Tearers.

[@djsaunter]

Always happy to see Salamanders get some love. I was excited they got added to the stock transfer sheet (feel bad for Raven guard players that were bypassed for a successor, though Raptors are cool and those players must be super excited). I feel like the drake head on the left pauldron is backwards though. Similar to tattoos, I feel like you want the nose of a face/creature pointed to the front centre. I might try that gritty sandpaper trick myself, I like it. Maybe use Vallejo Plastic Putty to add little spikes/spines here and there like on Adrax's cloak

[@ryane.3539]

This year I was going back and forth between World Eaters and Salamanders. After spending so many hours painting trim on the World Eaters… I am starting to wish I went with the Sallys.

[@ethansayers3318]

This was awesome! I'm enjoying the little series going on here. Now that you've painted a Salamander, what more could I want? Blood Angels would be pretty neat!

[@GregPetrick]

Great Job! I'm working on painting my Leviathan Space Marines as Salamanders and this got me even more excited!

[@Tharbiskahn]

I'd love to see your take on either the thousands sons or the Alpha legion. I don't particularly care for the legions in story, but their color schemes are super vibrant and cool in my opinion; especially the Thousand Sons.

[@figureartout]

I Recently Painted a Salamander on my Channel and I loved it. Yours Looks Awesome, I love the sandpaper tip Thanks

[@zzorz1023]

Blood Angels will always be Space Marines for me. But the blaze orange ones of my youth 💅 lately I've been doing like you and just painting one-offs of different chapters. Will definitely do a Salamander now 🫰

[@MentoliptusBanko]

Thanks for listening to my comment and painting a Salamander. The only loyal space marine I painted in my life is a Salamander (I paint chaos space marines and chaos demons mostly) because my son (who paints blue space marines) wanted me to paint "one of his minis" with him. So I chose the most cool...I mean most hot, chapter to paint :)

[@14pat78]

the melted cheese planet base

[@graefx]

I'm really impressed with the sandpaper scales. I've never seen that before and the result is brilliant. Though I'd be a little worried over it's durability.

[@waywardhero1177]

I like how this came out after I just finished painting mine for a contest

[@Ragnarok6664]

Love it, absolutely my favorite Astartes Chapter, was slightly worried about the lack of ”unique” models/chapter kits available

[@shortpants4153]

just about to start painting my salamanders perfect timing

[@sjaakninaber4989]

Sand paper was genius, would love to see your take on a Crimson fist, or even a Pedro Kantor

[@kapanmaszyny470]

THIS IS FRICKING GENIUS!! HOW THE HECK DID I NEVER THINK OF THAT, LIKE WTF?

[@theBoonarmies]

damn, that sandpaper hack is genius.

[@SharamNamdarian]

I really liked the lack of 3D printed bits!! Can’t wait for you to do space wolves like this

[@chrismattock9557]

The sandpaper / dragon skin is such a great idea ! Well done.

[@da.jo.kerrrr]

THAT LOOKS AWESOME! As a salamanders player, I LOVED THIS.

[@Sauly47]

Blood Angles! Oow, how about the Blood Angles Chaplin with the Wings! That would be cool. Or a Sanguinary Priest, or a ...

[@CT68]

I think Crimson Fists, or if you really want to get old school and unique, the Mentors Legion, would be something that nobody's doing today.

[@alessiodecarolis]

You just showed how with simple things we can improve also a regular SM. I started to follow your tutorials for bases, and they'd been very useful. A cheap alternative for resin could be two part epoxy glue, I used it mixed with red paint for a bloody lava's base, and was very good .

[@pres1974]

It would be awesome to see you do one on lesser known chapters similar to what the Lich's Laboratory did. I always enjoy seeinf he weirder less common color schemes being realized.

[@EpicSmith9311]

I know another black scheme must sound miserable to paint, but I would genuinely love your take on a really good batch paintable recipe for Raven Guard. Or maybe something challenging like Grey Knights, where you try out a NMM versus TMM scheme and see which one comes out on top!

[@slow_runner]

Simple yellow flames yes! I find that it's the way to go unless you want to drive yourself nuts freehanding the flames with multiple colors.

[@timothyjohnson2350]

Hey man, I really like your videos and you've got some really great stuff in them. I'm a Salamanders player and I gotta say the base had great potential but you made a toxic spill instead of lava. What's up with that man? On the other hand, the sandpaper is a genius idea!

[@naruuzumaki2554]

I love that you go out of Templars to teach how to pimp other chapters 🤩

[@anazron805811]

Have you considered painting some chaos? I'd love to see how you paint a Thousand Sons Rubric or Sorcerer with your painting methods, if you have a few days to do all the trim.

[@DaronSchmit]

Pro tip for flames: start with a dark red and layer up to yellow

[@doomedstruggler]

Thank you for giving my salamanders some love ❤️

[@michaelmastriano7566]

Just add gold and blood drops, then you're done

[@s0t5iranger69]

Thank you for making this. Salamanders are one of my top 3 Space Marines. If you're wondering they are the Salamanders, White Scars, and Raven Guard with Blood Angels being close. The top 3 are in no order as they are all great.
