Grandmaster Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi well as i love the rules for this guy he just has to head my salamander army. I can't wait for GW to maybe do a mini for him so i converted one from a grey knight and dark elf cloaks. C&C welcome :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/frazervisser/Vulkan-001390.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/frazervisser/Vulkan-001392.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Rik Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 That's one of the better ones I've seen IMO. Well done Grandmaster. You'll be pleased to know it also fits the artwork for He'stan in the 'dex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Cool beans :> thats a lovely 'fill in' for now, and he can always lead a squad of veterans or similar later too :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 That is one very impressive looking Vulkan He'stan. Is it hard fitting the dark elf cloaks to the space marine bodies, I'm just curious because I'm very inspired by the mini and wouldnt mind having a go at making one myself. Keep up the the good work.

Commander Sha'son Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Forgive me, as I do not own the new codex just yet. Who is Vulkan He'stan? Primarch? Or guy named after Primarch? What happened to Tu'shan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasoroth Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 This Vulkan is basically a treasure hunter for the Salamanders. They have a belief that when X amount of Vulcan's artifacts have been found, the big guy will come back. So far Y amount of artifacts have been found and currently, Vulkan uses them. He has the pull of an inquisitor in the Salamanders, in that, he isn't a captain of any company, but rather, has the powers to make any Salamander do his bidding, not that I think he'd need to coerce anyone affiliated with the Salamanders. He'd probably have to fend off volunteers. As for the model itself, its a looker Grandmaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ok to do, the rear of th elf torso is attached to the cloak so that needs to be chopped away, but after that is a simple fit! Thanks for all the nice words guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeffWolf Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 i think the scales on the cloak are a nice touch, salamanders have scales so fitting dont you think. have you thought about doing one bareheaded? id love to see some more stuff and perhaps a huge thunder hammer?

madscuzzy Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 He is the forgefather of the salamanders, and uses 3 out of the 5 found relics himself: The spear, the flamer and the cloak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythe of vengence Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 That is a great model you've made. :devil: Can we get a close up of the flamer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelfire Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Nice! Great job at converting the model, and excellent use of DE parts. The converting itself looks very clean. Also, very nice, crisp paintjobs on the entire army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemka Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I thought Vulkan had a powerfist with flamer attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaster Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 The pic looks like a PF but its not on the wargear so i guess its just bigger as it has the flamer built in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Alpha Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Think I could use Vulkan He'Stan as a character in my DIY Salamanders successor chapter? Well, with a different name, of course.... What are his special rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valor Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 How did you convert the flamer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 How did you convert the flamer? It looks similar to what I did. Grinding down the storm bolter holes then gluing on a heavy flamer tip, or in this case a regular flamer tip, in it's place and voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it! ^_^ I reckon you've done really well on this model, you've done a very good, clean conversion, with an amazing pain-job to boot! THANK YOU!!! :D I can now imagine what my two Chapter Masters would say if he met the great Forgefather: Grand Dragon Master Kyvaan Michelus: "My Sons of the Dragon are yours to command, Forgefather" Repentant Dragon High Master Ji'Haa Hak'iss: "As are mine, my Lord" Forgefather Vulkan He'Stan: "Thank you, Brothers, I will command them well" *cue frenzied cheers from assembled members of the Sons of the Dragon/Dragons of Repentance* like, just ftw ^_^ Arenis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
