Salamanders

Salamanders are fire-breathing lizards. These are, again, older models that are no longer available, which is a shame -- the new models look like a cat had a baby with a fish and it learned to look absolutely hideous.

I don't plan on using these guys, which are sort of the war machines for lizardmen, in my smaller armies -- they serve a purpose, but terradon riders seem like a better overall unit when huge sets of infantry won't be around. They'll show up in my 2,250-point forces.



The two I have have been minorly modified. Both got heavy bronze piercings in their dorsal fins -- something I'm kinda meh on now, and may remove -- and both had heavy chains added to their necks. This one got the really heavy chain; it looks ridiculous, but I love it!

They both have been hit with a base of paint; this one got the bright red, the other got the brick red. I'm still learning how to use the new washes; sharp-eyed viewers may notice that some of this model is washed, but the midsection isn't. That's because I watered this wash down too much, and it ran to the lower parts of the model. ("New washes?" those in the know may ask. Games Workshop hasn't released a new wash in years! ... aaand I was still using those old washes. I really stocked up!)
