Thanks Alpharius, you have been with me on this blog since the beginning and I shall honor the boarding blood angel sergeant I am painting atm with your name (the real one)

The armor on Mortarion was fairly easy - bascoated with bleached bone with a couple of heavy washes of Gryphonne Sepia and Ogryn Flesh mix - then layered with a 50-50 mix of bleached bone and space wolf grey - adding skull white with every layer - with a finish of pure skull white.

DAYUM! these are awesome. I can't wait to see Ferrus

I love the conversions immensely however, I don't like Russ' face much in all fairness

Lovely updates.

*I LOVE YOUR MORTARION MINI!!!!! OMG!!!!* Sorry, I couldn't contain the inner fanboy in me......

I REALY love the pic of the Blood angels coming out of the gate at ground shot with te "sun" behind them. You can totaly feel that there is a moment of glory in the making! I also love the model between Sanguinus and the guy with the chair, is that all pre-heresy or alot of conversions?

Thanks guys - Soulbellow that is the company champion from the honor guard he is made up of FW Sevrin Loth's Squad, sanguinary guard sword and I have added a helm crest !

Thanks you all

Thanks for the painting recipe, and thanks for naming one cool and bad-ass Space Marine model after me too!

(I always told my parents I'd amount to something! )

Mortie looks great I like the color on him it matches the personality of the model.

I really like all of these. I have to say that my favorites are definitely Rogal Dorn, the Emprah, Fulgrim and Lion. Perturabo and Horus are really sweet too!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks dear friends - I find myself at a bit of a dead end - working on Vulkan. He has always been my least favorite primarch - info on him is sketchy and I have yet to see some good artwork of him - Feel free to post ideas !!!

Well, remember, Vulkan He'stan is using a bunch of his equipment!

A few pointers,
A) His skin is Obsidian Black, not brown!
B) His amour should have lots of fire and Drakes.
C) On his right shoulder he has a massive Drake Skull
D) He should have all of He'stan's special equipment, plus the Engine Of Doom, Song of Entropy, The Obsidian Chariot, and the Unbound Flame.
E) Lastly, he should have a Hammer.

I play Salamanders.

Honestly, you're right, information is sketchy.

So shouldn't that make this your easiest one?

You don't seem to have a problem with artistic license, and as a Salamanders player, I'm sure not going to be offended if you go nuts.

Vulkan is obviously based on the Roman version of the Greek god Hephaestus. Themes include fire, the forge and accompanying artifice, dragons, and volcanoes. I agree with the above post that his skin should be black and his eyes red. The original color scheme wasn't green, by the way. If you check on Lexicanum, or just Google it, you can find their original color scheme, which was a kind of red with a scaled pattern.

Any way you want to do it, I just want to see him! You're a true artist, and I think that what is most important is seeing your vision of what Vulkan looked like.

Rock on brother.

True, although, current fluff has his armour as green.

Wait... what?

When was the Salamander's armor anything but a variation of green?

I thought the Pre-Heresy color was just a darker green than what we have now.

Red?

I've never heard that before...

I love this thread! Can't wait to see Vulkan.

The original Salamanders colour scheme was black and yellow back in 1988 but after that its always been green.

Very cool work. I liked the group shots, specially since the bad guys showed how gigantic Magnus was.

Thanks for the link Igandris! I apologize for the misinformation, I was apparently mistaken. I don't know where I thought I had gotten that information from. Once again, apologies.

Thanks guys, I will continue work on him and of course Ferrus and the Khan quite soon

Vulkan painting underway - the conversion was quite simple and in my opinion it looks like a good representation of this humble primarch - I shall post pics later or tomorrow morning

OH YEAH!

Can't wait as it stands the primarchs that are done look great so this one gotta be good.

Wow amazing work! Really impressed by Perturabo, what kinda base model/bits did you use for him?

He's from the Hell Dorado range: Augustinus Raimond.

Dear Friends - I give you Vulkan - Primarch of the Salamanders Legion !




Enjoy !

I love this one, as well as all the other Primarchs However, I miss some more dragon symbols on Vulkan's armor :/

Can't really think of why but not a big fan of vulkan, something about it just isn't sitting with me. Odd...love the rest though

While I like the model in and of itself, I do not like it as a depiction of Vulkan. It does not have enough Sallies on it for one, and it doesn't have a Drake skull on the shoulderpad, which is one of the few things to be confirmed about how Vulkan looks.

I love it. Now I want one for my Salamanders army. I like that you went with the jet-black skin, even if some people don't like it. I also like that you kept him simple. This is a phenomenal piece.
