LancsHotpot90 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hi all, been a few months since I last posted anything on here but I've still been active in the hobby non the less. I've come back with the intention of building a Demi-battle company but before that I thought I'd start with Vulkan himself circa m41 First of all I needed to take care of the Ultramarines chapter symbol on the shoulder pads with a bit of greenstuff work: Then, seeing as the base model has an overabundance of aquillas as it is I made a little change to the chestplate with a small Wolf skull and some greenstuff horns: Then gave him a bit of a shave :p and also (not pictured) removed the laurel wreath Then, a small addition to the Iron halo that comes with the kit using parts from the torches I then added a drakescale cloak made from greenstuff and shaved off a few details such as the symbol on the knee pad, the number 13 on the belt and the purity seal on his chest plate. I also decided not to include the giant eagle thing on the backpack as I think it made everything a bit too busy. And here's it all painted up, I've gone with a sort of blue lava for the base, (something I'll be carrying over to the rest of the army) for something a bit different to what I'm used to doing All c&c is appreciated and thanks for looking :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332091-vulkan-lives-converting-the-new-guilliman-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsHotpot90 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks guys! Yeah the manager of my local GW hinted as much when I told him what I intended to do XD Still, I couldn't wait :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332091-vulkan-lives-converting-the-new-guilliman-model/#findComment-4687689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xisor Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Perhaps I'm biased (look where we all are...), but that looks *so* much better than the base/standard Guilliman. Incredibly well done; I love it.

LancsHotpot90 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks very much Xisor! Looking forward to going ahead with the rest now, I've got roughly 700pts pf stuff now (with upgrades) ready to paint Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332091-vulkan-lives-converting-the-new-guilliman-model/#findComment-4688367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBelly1863 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 WOW!!! That. Is. Beautiful. Fantastic work, I envy your ambition and your green stuff skills. Plus the paint job is fantastic, especially the flaming sword. If it only were a hammer.... Again, you totally rock. Thank you for proving me right.... Vulkan most certainly lives.

Kelborn Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Sweet Emperor! Amazing job! Now it looks just right to me. This ornate armor never looked good to me with RG. Now it works. Thank you for that! :D And please what? We'll might get a Vulkan sooner than later? :O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332091-vulkan-lives-converting-the-new-guilliman-model/#findComment-4706726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsHotpot90 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Thanks very much everyone! :) I've got a decent little 750pt force in the works and will post some pics up tonight, I'll be leaving it there once completed for the time being as the project I've got going on in the Liber is taking up a lot of time (a strike force is a lot to do when starting from scratch XD) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332091-vulkan-lives-converting-the-new-guilliman-model/#findComment-4711923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claws and Effect Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 If you field him alongside Vulkan He'stan are you going to swap out He'stan's left arm? They can't BOTH be wielding Vulkan's artefact flamer.

LancsHotpot90 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Thanks alot guys! Do it Ben! You'll not regret it :D let me know how it goes :) I won't be fielding him the same time as he'stan (although it could be that he has made a mini version for himself after vulkan came back XD Here's some picks of everything finished: Also, here's my attempt at a hammer Now onto He'stan: And a dreadnought (with a kit-bashed multimelta to make it look a bit different) Decided to add some little greenstuff details; after all, wouldn't be Salamanders without a touch of bling XD Here's the 4th tactical squad, 2nd company: And another squad, the special weapons marine is proudly welding nocturne's fury; made possible with a little greenstuff :) And finally a little army shot of what I've got so far, with added drop pod that I forgot to take a solo pic of. And that's it for now, in the meantime I've got a homebrew chapter strikeforce to finish. If you get the time, or just happen to be browsing in the Liber, look up the Knights Obstinate and let me know what you think so far. But for now, let me know what you think of this lot, all c&c is appreciated and as always, thanks for looking :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332091-vulkan-lives-converting-the-new-guilliman-model/#findComment-4722464 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsHotpot90 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Thanks very much guys, I hope to re-edit the salamanders soon now my Liber challenge is done, the only thing I now need to decide is do I add the primaris marines to my home-brew chapter or do I add them to my salamanders?
