AngryJohnny Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 That's quite nice! I really like the markings on the right knee pad. A nice dusky tone <_< Yes here is some linkage to a topic and my photobucket thing, I only set them both up about an hour ago to get some advice, so if you have any I'd appreciate it :D heheh! There's a slighty Japanese flavour to them. The links you posted aren't working. From what I can tell, you've got a good scheme & feel to your army going. If you can get the links working, I would still love to see your army.

Wadey13 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Oh yeah I've just tried the links and I get nothing too, I'll try and sort it out! I'm not very techno... Haha, no army I'm afraid! I stopped the project after a squad, a Dread and a Razorback because I wanted something more... Imperial... But I realize I just hadn't made enough effort to make them more Imperial, so I've started them again recently after buying a load of gear :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151914-wip-counts-as-vulkan-hestan/page/2/#findComment-1773415 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I realize I just hadn't made enough effort to make them more Imperial, so I've started them again recently after buying a load of gear ^_^ I've found that buying extra bits is inspiring. "Ohhh... How can I use this?" That's partially how my version of He'Stan came to be. I'll be looking forward to seeing the start of your army once you get your links fixed.

Wadey13 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yes I know what you mean, the only problem is, I find I get a brain freeze because there's too much stuff to choose from! I have to sit down and work out what i'm going to use for what for ages before i do anything :tu: I got the linky working, i'm not very techno so i can't get the photobucket one to work for some reason! Anyway, I just had a go at "Crusadifying" my Dread last night and adding mud etc so i'll stick 'em up on the topic link B) Red Dragons Project linky How's Vulkan going? any colour yet?

AngryJohnny Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 How's Vulkan going? any colour yet? No, I haven't started painting yet. I most likely won't get any time for that until Tuesday or Wednesday as those are my days off. I want to make sure that I completely happy with the look of him before I apply any paint. I've also been putting some modeling work into my Sternguard Veteran Squad that he's going to join. I'll post some more pictures when I get some paint on him though. I want to paint him along side his Sternguard Squad so that I finish all the models at the same time. But I am going to give He'Stan (Fearghus Anyon) some extra attention though. I was thinking about filing down the shield on his chest plate & replacing it with a Crux Terminatus. I saw it done on another conversion I think it looked pretty good. Other than that I think I'm satisfied with the look of He'Stan.

"Jack, don't build him yet, I think you should wait until (holiday after birthday)" eg: Christmas then he'd ask why, and you'd say, "because theres going to be this GW sale on all bitz" Quick, change your answer Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151914-wip-counts-as-vulkan-hestan/page/2/#findComment-1778502 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryJohnny Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Ok, folks! I've begun work on painting Fearghus Anyon! Here is is with his lovely primer coat! (sorry for the less than great pictures, first time taking a photo on a dark backdrop) http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/Anyon_005.jpghttp://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/Anyon_006.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/Anyon_007.jpghttp://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/Anyon_008.jpg Here's some images of Fearghus Anyon with some paint. Keep in mind he's still WIP, but I'd love to hear your feedback. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/Anyon_009.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/Anyon_010.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/Anyon_011.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/Anyon_012.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151914-wip-counts-as-vulkan-hestan/page/2/#findComment-1779628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 After seeing him next to the rest of my painted miniatures, I realized that I did the green much darker. Too many layers I guess. I'm going to be stripping the paint & starting over with this one.... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151914-wip-counts-as-vulkan-hestan/page/2/#findComment-1784218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryJohnny Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 How do you paint your salamanders? I don't actually paint Salamanders. My Army is an Imperial Fist successor called the Priory of Dorn. Their armor is a military green with the single yellow shoulder inset & gold trim. (Priory of Dorn Color Scheme) This is how they're supposed to look: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/DIY%20-%20Fists%20of%20Dorn/Miniature%20Photos/PoD_029-1.jpg The green paint I did on my "Counts As" He'Stan came out too dark. I think I did too many layers of the green. I usually have one of my finished miniatures on the table as reference but I was feeling over confident. And well, look where that got me... :lol: If you'd like to know how I paint my green I'd be happy to let you in on how I do it. I think it would make a nice green for Salamanders. It may be too dark though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151914-wip-counts-as-vulkan-hestan/page/2/#findComment-1786847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryJohnny Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 I finally finished my "Counts As" Vulkan He'Stan! He got a new Gauntlet thanks to inspiration from Ein. You can see the finished product in the Hall of Honor Thread. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Sons of Horus Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 looks great although he's too shiny. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151914-wip-counts-as-vulkan-hestan/page/2/#findComment-1826789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanks! He's actually not shiny at all. I assume you're referring to the images that I posted here in the WIP thread. It was actually the lighting. The pictures I posted in the Hall of Honor thread I have for him are a little better, although the lighting in my kitchen does make his head look a little shiny.
