Tzen Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 So, Magnus the Red is done, I am just waiting for his base to dry to paint it up and call it a done deal. So this is my next project. Here is the basic conversion idea for my Vulkan He'stan conversion. Loads of green stuff work to be done, but thought I'd share the idea! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Vulkan.jpg More pics as I go!

Thrillhouse Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Really nice! Ive been wanting to use the watch captain fornsomething too, and also find something to convert a vulkan from. I look forward to see what more you will do with him. Especially how you will go about painting salamanders. They are one of my favourite chapters, but cant get the green right. (My watch captain will probobly become the exectutioner chaplain, whose name escaåes me at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctem Cultor Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 That works really well even without Green stuff I like it better than the original armour. -Noctem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The Inquisitorial "I" in the center of his chest is quite noticeable. Did you get the torso from a Grey Knight model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 The main model is the Deathwatch Watch Commander. And the Inquisitor "I" has already been removed! :D Initial green stuff work is currently drying! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Great conversion idea! He still has many Inquisition symbols, but I suppose that you'll solve that later on (don't forget to remove the trigger of the lower part of the lance!).

Tzen Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm genuinely tempted to leave the trigger on. I know the normal Vulkan model doesn't have it, but it is bad as. Spear flamer hooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawain Veteris Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I love it. Great composition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm genuinely tempted to leave the trigger on. I know the normal Vulkan model doesn't have it, but it is bad as. Spear flamer hooo! That would make sense if he had a flamer on the tip of the spear, but as it now it doesn't make much sense... Converting the flamer to be on the spear though, that could be interesting...

sockwithaticket Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I've seen plenty of attempts at He'Stan on these here interwebs and that's got to be the best yet. I'm really not a fan of the original model either so this wins double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hoping to do a lot more green stuff work on this chap tomorrow, maybe even start working on a lick of paint or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovidius Incertus Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Starting from a good concept, but it sounds like a lot of work to strip it of the INQ iconography and switch it over to lizards! If you want to get a flamer onto the spear so the trigger isn't moot, perhaps use the flamer concept from the dreadfire fist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 WOW !! Tzen is doing a Non - Traitor . ACE !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Good thinking - never been a fan of the standard He'stan model and this makes a lot more sense. As for the trigger, there's a lot of references in the fiction to marines hitting switches on weapons to activate the power field around the blade, could just say it's that?

DaBoiKyknos Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Going to file off the Inq- "I" ´s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 I am indeed filing of all the inquisition signs and adding suitable replacements! :D I am hoping to add some sort of flamer nozzle to the end of the staff so the trigger is a little more functional and not there just because I quite like it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Not posted a pic because the green stuff takes a while to cure. So even small amounts of work take over night to dry. And even this green stuff work is basically just filling in gaps and getting the basic shape of the flames or the studs. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/vulk2.jpg I now need to smooth out the green stuff and add more definition. I am still hoping to add a flamer of some sort to the spear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ladies and gents. A foot. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/afoot.jpg Early days obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Here is the early green stuff work on the stick too. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/stick.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 That foot is looking good!:P Also, I'm sure that the flamer is going to look great but, are you going to also leave the one in his other arm? I know this are salamanders we're talking of, but maybe it would be too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 I am indeed leaving both flamers. I heard Salamanders like flamers, so I put some flamers on their flame sticks so they can flamer whilst they flame. ... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 This is a bad picture, but I thought I'd share my progress anyway! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/sal1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just using feathering techniques to layer up from a darkened Rhinox Hide. You add Karak Stone to it and keep adding more till its pure Karak stone, then glaze over it to blend it all in! I have no idea why the flames have photographed so badly, it's very weird.
