Alright, I'm finally getting a start on my old Salamander army. Now, to start this army off, I need an HQ, and Vulkan seems an excellent choice to lead them. Being the cheap runt that I am, I'm looking for a model that's easy to convert, looks good, and would be a great stand-in for Vulkan.
Some questions:
1: Vulkan's left hand (the one that isn't holding the spear) appears to be the size of a power fist. is this true IRL?
2: Which special character model would be easiest to convert? I'm leaning towards the Emperor's champion. He's pretty generic, he's not covered in bling, and looks good.
3: I'm looking to spend only 18 bucks for the model. Any other suggestions for a Vulkan Conversion other than the emperor's champ?
Thanks in advance,
Munch.

Not a power fist, bigger because there is a heavy flamer attached to his gauntlet under the cover. I have a vulkan model I filed off the salamander heads and cut the banner off then painted him up my chapter's colors. If you want a head on shot,
That's his model in the front

For my vulkan model i used.
-Emperors Champion breastplate and torso
-Grey Knight spear arm
-Shooting arm converted to hold my own converted flamer
-Green stuff cloak
As for a head i just used whatever i thought looked best. Im pretty sure it was a sternguard helm. I dont have any pics tho.

I honestly think that the GW Vulkan is good as it is.
