Redfinger Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey all this is my Vulkan count as for my Sanguine Templar army. He is still largely a WIP but I am making progress on him. Basically I am building him "truscale" seeing how he will mostly be running with terminators it will make him look more appropriate, and when he is with normal troops he will look like the bad a$$ he is :P The gauntlet still needs a ton of work, I will be adding in green stuff around the back of it to make them look like they are part of the gauntlet. I also still need to build out both paldrons and make the cape, which brings me to my question.... I really dont want him to to look too Salamander-ish, there probably will be no Salamander icons on him, but I do want to give a nod to the Salamanders and I was thinking the cape would be a great way to do that, i.e. scales. I am looking for some advice/tips on how to make the scales. My current plan is to build as much of the cape as possible on a flat piece of glass using green stuff, then I will add a second layer of greenstuff that is more patchy and that will have the scales on them? any thoughts? Any way's enjoy the pics for now and I would appreciate any feed back you all could offer, this is my first ever "conversion" model since I started 40k a year ago, so I am a bit new to it all still.

Warmaster OzzY Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 i found a page on here one day all about making green stuff cloaks for salamander termies and he used the technique u mentioned. Another option is a WFB dark elf corsair cloak trimmed appropriately. To be honest dude best advice is trial and error. Quick question dude how did u get the studs on his legs? Im in the process of makin some veterans for my salamander army n had some real trouble getin studs on legs and shoulder pads just wanted to know how u did it. Lookin forward to seein more pics tho OzzY Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224093-vulkan-count-as-wip-with-questions/#findComment-2679593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookin forward to seein more pics thoOzzY There is a manufacturer called "Grant Line Products" they make all kind of accessories for model trains. I have a local hobby shop that stocks the stuff but I am sure you could find it on-line. They are called "Rivets- .043" Round 154" These are the smallest I could find at the shop, they may make smaller, but I know they make larger ones for sure, I used a bunch on a Land Raider I did. Thanks for the compliment! Ashton Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224093-vulkan-count-as-wip-with-questions/#findComment-2679870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
