turelhim vampire Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Howdy all, Here's my take on Vulkan He'stan, no prizes for guessing which model he's based on (but you can guess anyway if you like :P) http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/turelhimvampire/IMAG0131.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/turelhimvampire/IMAG0132.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/turelhimvampire/IMAG0133.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/turelhimvampire/IMAG0134.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/turelhimvampire/IMAG0135.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/turelhimvampire/IMAG0136.jpg I think I will probably highlight him eventually, but he's tabletop quality atm, and that's good enough for me.

Dark Bjoern Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Nice. He based on Sicarius? I think you should highlighting him. i think atm the green on his armour is a bit too flat. I like the effect on his spear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 very nice although the blade of his halberd is a bit short. this is one of the better conversions i've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Good conversion. But I would say the head needs to sit deeper in the collar (same problem the unconverted sicarius model has). Goof stuff though. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 very nice conversion, loving the trimmed lightning claw for his gauntlet. I agree with the above about the paintjob, the green doesn't look finished. We see what you've done on the halberd and it's lovely, carry it over onto the armour and it will be a spangly centrepiece for your army!

turelhim vampire Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. Yes he's based on Sicarius, although I dislike the stock model it has so much potential, and was perfect for this conversion. I have to admit that highlighting marine minis scares the crap out of me. I find painting marines so difficult to do well. Too much flat space that requires a lot of thought and hard work to look really good. How would you guys suggest I highlight him?

Blended area highlights on pronounced areas. think cylinders and circles. I've done this example for someone else. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Gareth_tyranids/Misc/GEtermie.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montuhotep Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 It's really nice - certainly the best version of Vulkan I've yet seen - one question though, perhaps have a butt spike on the end of the halberd? As if he's jabbing at someone to immobilise them before swinging the blade overarm to finish them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I really like his back, especially the "horns" coming out of it, very cool, wish I thought of it. ^_^ Another thing is that blade head is just amazing, I really like how you did it.
