Chaplain Jalus and his Command Squad The banner reads 'Donec Urbs Incumbo in Pulvis' - Until the Time When Cities Lie in Dust. Pretty appropriate, I think.
Salamander Veterans Yeah, I know, but let the banner slide. I was bored. Anyway, These guys started Dark Angel Green, then I went over them with Armor Wash. Highlights looked best with Snot Green, so I went with that. Old school-ness!
Salamander Terminators The only one worth commenting on is the commander. Did him usual Sal colors, went heavy on the highlights. Hand painted banner, 'cause I felt silly fielding him without one. Ended up being pretty happy with it, even if my attempt at blending sucked.
Salamander Vehicles These were bot based black and sprayed Dark Angels green - went over them with a varying thickness of black ink, then highlit them with snot green. they look decent as long as your not too close. All the doors/weapon fixtures are black because I was trying to make them look 'modular'. I mean, the Sals have the best tech abilty outside of the Adeptus Mechanicus, why wouldn't they have modular vehicles?
Tactical Squad 2 I'm terribly fond of this squad. I had a party putting them together.

Salamanders and Space Wolves vs Tyranids.
Points: 1500 - Wolves, 1500 - Salamanders, 3000 - Tyranids.
Scenario - Breakout.
Result - Technically, we lost the mission, how ever, we annhilated the Tyranids (there was a total of like 3 tyranid models left.). So we just called it a draw.
Spooky.jpg If you ignore the bottle of GW superglue, this is a pretty neat picture. The 'nids are in the foreground, the Space Wolves in the upper left and my Sals on the right.
Adjustment.jpg Me making some last minute setup adjustments of my devestators in the forest.
WolvesandSals.jpg Look! It's our 12" wide setup corridor for 3000 points of Marines! Insanity!
Messy.jpg This is the Tactical Squad #2 assaulting a brood of Tyranid Warriors, with some help from my assault squad. Note my ever-present coffee in the foreground, and my spiffy Dark Angel/Salamander green stripey-colored green dice.
Messy2.jpg Same fight. Different angle.
------------
Salamanders vs Blood Angels vs Tzeench vs Tyranids
Points: 2000 per side.
Scenario - None. (technically Cleanse)
Result - After taking out the big bugs I was not in a position to do much before the game ended (as I was pretty much flat up against the table edge to take out as many of the Big Bugs as I could), so I pulled out of the game and layed the Thunder Hammer Mojo on the Eldar instead. Ultimate victory went to the Thousand Sons.
Salsandbigbugs.jpg Having to be 18" away from the BAs sucked, but all my big guns got to focus on the 2 Carnifexes and the Hive Tyrant, oh, and did I mention the Tyrant guard and Gaunts?
3of4.jpg Thousand Sons, Blood Angels, and Salamanders. The Sals were pouring all the fire they could at the slowly advancing Tyranid stuff. Ick.

Salamanders vs Tzeench
Points: 3900 per side
Scenario: Kill 'em Dead.
Result: The Salamanders reign triumphant in the name of The Emperor!
command.jpg My command squad jumps out of the Land Raider Crusader and tears into a Thousand Sons squad, then advances into the Chaos Marines behind them.
nohope.jpg On the first turn my poor dread lost it's las-cannons. So off it went, into assault.
tacandchaos.jpg Chaos Terminators deep strike in with a special "I hate yougram" for my Tactical Squad...

end.jpg My surviving forces.
deadchaos.jpg Chaos' losses.
deadsals.jpg My dead guys. Not in the picture is a Predator Destructor and my 2 LRs (one MKII, one Crusader)

Darius - AKA Sgt. Homeboy - chillin' near the wreckage of a Predator Destructor.
(Possibly the most hated figure I have - his CC kills include: Cypher, a Chaos
Lord, piles and piles of Tyranids, a Farseer, couple of Warlocks, about half
of a Guardian squad, a Blood Angels force commander and numerous other minor
characters (Sergeants, Aspiring Champions and the like.))
