One For All - XVIII Salamanders

It's interesting how much room there is for artistic, personal interpretations and strong, themed army composition choices even in small, 500 point patrol rosters. We often talk about how neat it is to see personal takes on different Legions - especially now as we have pretty much every faction represented in our joint collection we start to see new, reimagined versions of the same subjects. It's all down to the vision and understanding of the culture behind each faction, as each Legion can be interpreted in miniature art in so many ways. The combination of Salamanders and Solar Auxilia elements in Ollie's Civil War list was particularly fitting for the 18th Legiones Astartes.

When it comes to modelling, Ollie chose to mix armour marks within the squads for an olschool Tactical Squad vibe and also to have different kind of details to paint. These might also be the first Heresy force Ollie has done with a warm colour palette - a proper collector's item! The basing scenery has been created with the help of GamersGrass tuft kits.
