Looking very cool the popeye marines

Marines should be done tomorrow evening, missing a bit of lining and the bases (I'll do those later) (will post a pic when they'll be done (even without the bases), so should be able to start working on this:

Thanks. I'm gonna use a special product to fix the decals yeah, though I haven't add them yet, will take pictures once it'll be done.

Here is the look of the finished marines (still need to do the bases and the decals):

Thanks
Regarding the white Salamander head on the shoulder pads, it's part of the fluff, Salamanders aren't really like other chapters regarding this. Most chapters use the border of the pad to show which company they're part of, though, the Salamanders have the shoulder pad border of the same color than the rest of the armor (unless they're veterans) and they designate the company they're part of with the color of the Salamander head and the color of the background color of the shoulder pad.

Example:

The Fire Drakes (1st Company): White salamander head on black left shoulder

Battle Company (3rd Company): Yellow salamander head on black left shoulder

Reserve Company (5th Company): Black salamander head on yellow left shoulder

Scout Company (7th Company): Black salamander head on white left shoulder

For those who would like to know a little more: https://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Salamanders

They look awesome i particularly like how vivid and rich the colours are! Personally i think the white salamander symbol works really well on the models, especially when you've mixed up some white into the armour plating or else the models would look a little dark. But this is great, so are you going to do some awesome freehand work on your razorback?

Thanks
Regarding the freehand I'm not sure hehe, I'll prolly go for decals to be safe heheh

looking good! don't forget to post pics of all salamanders you painted from time to time
