Salamanders (XVIII)

intermédiaire Légions Loyalistes

Vert sombre avec bronze et accents de forge.

The green of Salamanders is deep and désaturé. Waaagh! Flesh is more dark qu'on the pense — Pas besoin of base black, but avoid a primer trop claire.

Recommended undercoat black — Several priority paints in this army converge on black.

Tips

Hints for this army
1 The mélange Waaagh! Flesh 1:1 Elysian Green for the premier chunky highlight is the clé of the scheme officiel
2 Malgré the souffrances à Isstvan V, chaque légionnaire étant forgeron entretient son armure — The weathering is présent but the armure reste fonctionnelle
3 The trim of bronze are often sculptées and ornées — Détaillez-the soigneusement for refléter the artisanat légendaire of Salamanders
4 The detail of flamme orange on the jambières are a marque distinctive — Use Fire Dragon Bright for the flammes en clin d'œil au monde volcanique of Nocturne
