We recently took on a Warhammer 40000 Salamanders commission for Jodrell plays Games, with the mission briefing : 1.complete a salamanders force 2. the marines need to be colour matched to fit in with an existing army.
we happily took on this mission and Jodrell was more than happy with the results.

At the end of last year, I came to the sad realisation that, due to the challenges of a change in job, moving to a new home, and the birth of my youngest child, all during a global pandemic, the amount of time I’ve been able to spend on the hobby had plummeted, and was unlikely to improve in the near future. And, to make things worse, I had been still been adding to my grey plastic pile of shame, meaning that my backlog had reached ridiculous proportions: it would have taken a decade of no new models to get it back to a reasonable size.
So I made the decision to (a) sell off a lot of the stuff I didn’t think I’d miss, and (b) outsource the painting of the rest, so I found a couple of commission painters who could reproduce my colour scheme at a reasonable price.
Last week I received the first couple of batches of painted models, and will be posting pictures of each unit over the next couple of weeks.
The first is this squad of Salamanders Terminators, painted by Darren of Burning Beard Studios. He’s done a fantastic job of matching my colour scheme for the Salamanders, and has augmented the models with some 3D printed accessories.
This squad will take its rightful place alongside the two other Terminator squads of the Firedrakes in my Salamanders army.
More pictures below the fold. If you’re looking for an affordable and reliable painting service, I can thoroughly recommend Darren, so check out his website.
