The Salamanders component of the model follows my usual recipe for Heresy Salamanders. This is a white undercoat followed by contrast paint to get the green basis. This is followed up by lighter green for highlights. The shoulders are black. I went for a silver trim here (but probably should have gone for gold, but equally the silver helps them be picked out against other Salamanders). Decals are from the Third Edition boxed set rather than from the specific Salamanders transfer sheet.
For the rifle, I've opted for gold tones here with Nuln oil washed liberally applied. The recesses I've picked out in blue with some darker piping here and there to round it off. The goal was to make the weapon feel ornate and out of place compared with standard issue bolt guns which invariably tend to be lead belcher silver in my collection. And it certainly works. On the game board you can readily pick out these golden rifles with ease.
Overall I like the miniature and the rifle. I'm not sure I will field too many of them, but this is the start of expanding the Salamanders allied detachment that I have going which is also a part of the Shattered Legions forces that I have. Its a worthy addition overall and I shall get the rest of the squad finished up soon enough.
