Salamander Color Scheme Search
Salamander Color Schemes
I am currently trying out different color schemes for my Salamanders. Below is my favorite scheme tested so far.
Love this Grimdark version I came up with.
It is dark for Salamanders but I like it and may stick with this After a small tweak to the mid tone. I am curious how changing the midtone may alter to appearance.
I just think some of the more traditional color schemes for Salamanders are too bright for my taste. I will try a couple more traditional schemes soon to see how I like them in person, as opposed to looking at other peoples work online.
The three approaches here are:
Left: Warpstone Glow without highlights
Middle: I hated how this one began and ending up covering it in Karandras Green contrast paint. I don’t mind this…
Right: My favorite so far, although worried it’s too dark.
Salamanders Lore
The Salamanders, originally known as the Dragon Warriors,[38] were the XVIII Legion of the Space Marine Legion created by the Emperor of Mankind. Their Primarch was Vulkan. The legion remained loyal during the Horus Heresy, but were severely mauled in the first great opening battle, limiting the role they could play in the remainder of the war. Their primarch is never recorded as perishing, and in fact is believed simply to be missing; the search for him and his presumed great purpose is a defining trait of the Salamanders. Other aspects of the legion of Vulkan are their great hardiness as warriors and their equally strong constitutions, willpower and devotion to humanity. In some ways, they can be considered the ideal of what it means to be a Space Marine.
