Salamanders Update

This is very early, but I've just got in from my paper round. As in yesterday's post I plan on starting my Salamanders over again, but for this I need to strip them of their paint, hence why they are sat in a tub of Cillit Bang as we speak... this being because it was the only degreaser that I had around the house and without access to a car I chose not to go and buy some Dettol. Whilst prepping the models to strip, I actually counted them and decided that I should go the full distance and buy special bases for them, hence my second order from Secret Weapon of the week being placed just now. The bases I have settled on are a set of Trench Work ones, along with one of these for the Relic Contemptor, two of these for the other Contemptors, and one of these along with a flight widget for the Assault Ram. Now the way I've ordered the last base, Secret Weapon will drill the base to allow the stand to go into the base, as the one from Forge World that I've got at the moment just isn't stable enough in my opinion.

This order wouldn't have been to bad, until I counted 62 marines, so 70 bases needed ordering, taking the total of the spend to nearly £100, fortunately for me my parents are willing to lend me the money of the bases as I've just spent the last week working near enough solidly on a bitch of an essay!

I'll hopefully be able to share some photos of my progress of stripping the models later today or tomorrow so stay tuned in to see how the process is getting on.
