Xenith Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 All you need is some guy with a heavy flamer looking thing, cloak, and spear. My first port of call would be here: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1160009a Flamer looking things, wrist mounted weapons, and speary things. And look, theyre already painted silver :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244386-vulkan-hestan-conversion/#findComment-2955253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortifis Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Try clicking this picture from the GW website, which was linked on 3++ a few weeks ago. Its a fantastic "counts as" Vulkan model.

Claws of Corax Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I use the model for Vulkan He'stan with all the Sally Iconography filed and clipped off. Then replaced them with skull and eagle icons. It worked very well. Maybe think about doing the same..?

Brother_Drake249 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I made one before they released the figure. I used a Grey Knights justicar , with a chaplain Xavier backpack/cloak , and a modified power fist for the left arm. It took some creative filing and putty work to remove all the gk iconography, but I think it turned out pretty good. I still use it today, mainly because I've been too lazy to paint up the new figure.

striker8 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I've built 2 Counts as as Vulcans so far, one as an IF and one Relictor and both were built on a whim from my bits box. http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/151022_126672700725923_100001495817544_168660_3629152_n.jpg Only have a picture available for the Relictor. Nothing but plastic bits, some plasti card, and GS. The torso and back pack are from the BT sprue with the crosses filed off or covered with other bits, Legs and head are plain Tactical ones, The flamer is a fantasy elf trumpet bell on a power fist for that super sized look, the cape is GS, one shoulder pad is a regular plastic one with added guard made out of plasti ard and the weapon is a fantasy Dark Elf spear with some power weapon bits grafted in, the hoses/ power feeds are guitar string. THe IF version is about the same but I used a actual heavy flamer modified and grafted to a regular arm in an under slung position and I blinged it out a bit more than the penitent Relictor version It;s easy to do if you have a basic image in your head of how you want it to look. Then you gather the bits that fit that picture, lastly you cut and graft the parts together.

mateus of ultramar Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I myself am actually fielding ultramarines (as if my name didnt give it away brothers! lol) and want to make my own version of vulkan as well, Im wanting to make him the "forgemaster" of the ultramarines 1st company fluff wise, but I want to have him with a large flamer wrist mounted with an eagle head on the 'projector' use a hammer in favor of a spear (count as one though) and some kind of chainmail cloak or something similar, but heres where I really want to make him special, I want to put him in terminator armor with him standing on a xenos skull or something like that and base him with an anvil, just trying to figure out bits wise what I should use, I cant bring myself to buy a forgeworld model to kitbash though lol btw very cool looking model striker :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244386-vulkan-hestan-conversion/#findComment-2975460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
