@mcjwarhammer@dice.camp Thanks for the comments. It honestly felt so good to get the first one out of the way... and from a tabletop standard I think he looks great.
This particular mini was kind of an "extra" model that I ended up with that I thought to experiment with. I have another that I'm going to try the base-coat/highlight approach, so we'll see which I like better.
I'm expecting my Salamanders CP box to arrive to form the basis of my army and the serious painting will begin. I have a 1k list planned out based on that box that should be decent; I can't wait to play an actual game. lol
Whilst I am looking for a bit darker green to my 'manders, I really love the Salamanders you've displayed on your feed. They look fantastic in the photos.

@symbology@social.linux.pizza Love a good test model. I keep a few lying around for experiments; never know when you need to try out a new technique. If you're interested, I've got my journey of different techniques documented here - none of which are the tried & true base+layer: https://mattminis.com/posts/salamanders-method/. I will say I'm about to embark on a third technique: stippling! I found it to work *really* well on space marines. I haven't done it en masse yet, but am going to give it a shot on my next project.
