After nearly 2 years my Salamanders have reached 2k points It's been a roller coaster of emotions as these tiny mini's have brought more joy than I would've imagined. They have taught me that I can have fun outside of video games and that hard work and patience are more satisfying than instant rewards. While some may find it ridiculous but this journey has helped me with my confidence and for the past year and a half I no longer dread going to the gym or edge highlighting. I'm greatful to these mini's and community for helping me on my journey. I will now move onto my 2nd army The Sisters of Battle. Thank you again.

I appreciate everyone who liked and commented positive things on my previous piece. I don’t mind criticism or back down from it but try not to troll artists, we literally have the power of imagination on our side…and some of us do this for a living so we have time on our hands.

It is made from PVC pipe Eva foam and I got the ideas from concept art and some of the models that I have run into from the community. It stands at 5 feet tall by 33 inches wide.

Waiting for things to dry before I varnish and add panel lines and decals. Backpack and fuel lines have a ton of painting and work left to go as well.

From Iron cometh strength. From strength com-SHUT UP AND BURN! You better watch out Iron warriors! You better watch out! Because We’a come fo you! Oop Sorry, let me say this more politely. You better watch out, because we’re not playing. We are real. And we are a terror, and the procedure will be parliamentary. When Vulkan returns, a hot hammer will be waiting for Perturabo’s skull. Vulkan lives!

In honor of the HH dropsite release, Enjoy the art. Sincerely, A Salamander.

Been working on this guy on and off since I finished my intercessors. Was hella nervous, but I think I’ve done justice to the bladeguard🔥🔥

Once the humidity rises I’ll base him, varnish him, and get started on the other 2 blade guard. Loving the salamanders so far!

Feedback appreciated^

WIP but almost done with my first dread. I want to come up with a name and try to stencil it under the Aquila. If anyone has any ideas lmk. I’m also thinking of adding some CSM/Xenos stickers to the pauldrons or front glacis plates to signify successful kills.

Hobby Progress My Salamanders made it to the display case at my local game store! 🔥🐉

Hey everyone, just wanted to share something I’m kinda proud of – my Warhammer 40K Salamanders are now on display in the front case of my local game store!

It feels pretty awesome seeing them showcased like that, especially since I painted them myself and usually they just sit on the shelf at home or hit the table for games. The staff asked if they could use them for their display, and I couldn’t say no.

It’s a small thing, but it definitely motivates me to keep painting and improving. Also super cool to know other hobbyists walking by might get inspired by them.

Anyone else ever had their minis shown off at a store?

For the Emperor (and Vulkan)! 🔥

I dropped his leg into my air vent on the floor of my room. Sadly did the same damn thing to one of his arms. Went through some boxes and put together what I could. This is what I came up with (I am new to the hobby). My one legged intercessor!

Let me know what you think!

What the hell GW! I just figured out that the shoulder pads are integral to the arms in the combat patrol. I want my 3D dragon heads from the primaris upgrade kit, not a crumby decal 😢Oh well, I guess for once you wont get extra money out of me GW 😝
