FaeLi-N Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Working on a Vulkan He'Stan character, Phaerin Eyse (guess why? :) ) for my Red Scorpions, this is what I've come up with so far: EDIT: After the initial (relevant) comments below, I decided that he DID need something else to make his legs stand out, so as you can see in this first image now, I sculpted flames on his leg armour pieces, and I also sculpted 'coals' onto the front of his feet, with the intention of painting the coals red-hot... thoughts? It's a bit rough, but it's drying and then I'll file a bit... http://www.envisage-design.co.uk/phaeton4.gif http://www.envisage-design.co.uk/phaeton3.gif It's still a tad rough, but I really like the way it's turned out... bits are standard marine, Red Scorpions upgrade, and the cape is a Dark Elf Corsair part (but fits beautifully imho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badaab Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The model has a good sense of movement so far, which is nice. The 'plinth' bit of terrain on the base is a nice touch, as it'll mark him out as something special next to, say, Assault Marines. My only bit of criticism is that he looks very top heavy at the moment. Try looking at embellishing the legs a bit more (at the knees perhaps) to bulk him out there. Even something simple like purity seals or banding on the greaves might work. As I play a non-mainstream (but gaining popularity!) chapter myself, I'm always looking for ideas on how to squeeze the special characters into my force. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snozz Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 One of the best conversions for him I've seen I think. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The feet still look very plain, I'd suggest additional plating with GS (if you're good at it) or with bits But so far one of the better He'stan conversions around. Most of them tend to be too busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeLi-N Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Mmm, the feet do look a little plain now you mention it... I'll GS this week, and then I'll get all my other conversions up too! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkey Kong Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Nice model, it has some movement. Just, is it really Red Scorpion-y to have a scaled cloak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snozz Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Very impressive, now get painting. Make sure the scales are red though. Otherwise it might look too much like a salamander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeLi-N Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Scales? On the cloak, or the ones on his feet which are coals? :D I think his cloak will be like a metallic turqouise to purple colour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The cloak. :P Metallic? Haven't heard of many things with metal scales. :P Personally I think red or black would work best but it's your model, and will look great when finished. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeLi-N Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I mean metallicy like this: Car mixed colours So it's like... sort of shiny... colour blending... stuff? Either that or an orangy yellow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I see, that could work, but orange and yellow would look nicer methinks. Can't wait to see him finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
