The Horus Heresy: 750 Points of Salamanders

This post isn't really 750 points of Salamanders, but I didn't know what else to title it, these are what I have painted this month, which when added to last month's Salamanders round out to 750 points.

Pyroclasts

These guys are the second half of my Pyroclast squad, making them up to the full ten. They were effective last month so I am hoping that twice as many will be twice as effective.

The next squad are some tactical marines with bolters, I had already painted these a few years ago, but I think my painting has improved so I decided to touch them up. I have included photographs of both before and after so you can see what I improved, hopefully you agree with me that it was worth the effort.

Tactical Marines: Before

Tactical Marines: After

Mostly what I did was to overpaint my tragic attempt at OSL on their legs and add edge highlighting to them all, the champion and vexilla got a bit more attention, I am especially pleased with the vexilla, so here is a separate picture of it:

Salamanders Vexilla

Sergeant: Before and After

 Here is a final side by side of the sergeant which I think shows my improvement pretty well.

The Horus Heresy: 500 points of Salamanders

Last month I painted 500 points of Salamanders because me and Phil are doing a Horus Heresy escalation campaign, we started with 500 points for February, and we'll be increasing it by 250 points a month.

I haven't posted anything on here in almost three years apparently, but I'm very pleased with how these came out so I'm posting again.

Delegatus

This is my Delegatus, at less than 1000 points he is the only way to have a rite of war, and I really like my rite of war so here he is! I really like his power axe. I also couldn't pick an angle to photograph him from so here's two more pictures:

Pyroclasts

Pyroclasts are really cool, so I am starting with five of them. We're playing the zone mortalis ruleset for our first few games, and their combination melta/flamethrowers work really well there. I love these models, I'll be painting five more this month.

Breacher Marines

Breachers, because I need a compulsory troops choice. the black still shows through the gradient on a few of their shields, but I really liked the gradient so I didn't want to go over it again. I'll put a better basecoat down next time I am painting this sort of thing. Their sergeant has a third party shield to help to mark him out.

So that's my first 500 points of salamanders, I have many, many more salamander models so I should be able to keep on escalating for a while before I run out.
