If a little chaotic to work from. Nonetheless they are symbols of their time.<br /><br />When I paint the Rogue Trader Salamanders on my blog I always use that painting guide as inspiration... Though supplementing new colours for their archaic forebears (Salamander Green anyone...how about Marine Dark Blue)!LegioCustodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833383911728446032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-52784007208023041312014-08-21T10:48:54.765-07:002014-08-21T10:48:54.765-07:00Well spotted and I am happy to stand corrected.

There was so much character and personality in those books, something that's gone from the modern incarnation of the Orks. I am both excited and disappointed to hear that there were plans for a similar book for the Eldar!thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-12153648189126703022014-08-21T10:17:02.848-07:002014-08-21T10:17:02.848-07:00Erm...

Hate to nitpick at an otherwise fantastic article, but that's issue 123 not 124.<br /><br />Because that was the first issue of White Dwarf I ever bought as a kid.<br />I have a reading copy and a framed copy (because I'm sad and overly nostalgic that way)<br /><br />It's where my love of Space Orks first reared it's ugly head (Goff, Goff, Goff, Goff, Goff!!!)<br /><br />I've wanted to emulate the paint jobs on those Grey Knights for years. And I think the scheme on those Salamaders is far superior to the current version.Stygianhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157673627988765453noreply@blogger.com
