XVIII Legion - Salamanders (Done)

This is a bit of a shorter post, just to show off the model.

Light it up.

The model followed Painting Buddha's (https://www.youtube.com/user/paintingbuddha) guidelines for an Ultramarine, but applied to a Salamander.
And no, not the greatest picture. I'm also aware that the shoulder pads should be black, but that wouldn't show off sourced lighting from the flamer as well. On that subject, this model is definitely worth getting setup with a proper camera for one day, simply to show it off a bit. The lighting really worked well, and the glow of the eye lenses (or reflection of a pretend flame) give this Marine a true presence on any table.

I will likely hand paint legion symbols one day, but that's for later - to do so before I'm much better at that would simply ruin things. Or it's from before their Primarch was found.

Note the battle damage around the feet. There's more on the shoulder pads, and a few other areas. That really worked nicely, and was just so incredibly easy to do. Watch the Painting Buddha videos for how that's done, and also help their crowd funding efforts if you can.

-- silly painter.
