I made VULKAN HESTAN into a PRIMARIS SPACE MARINE

[@XYZdude00]

If GW does make an official Primaris He'stan, I feel that he needs to have gravis armor with the flamer gauntlets and his spear. Would fit thematically with the new salamander rules

[@WePaintMinis]

You never know the route they will go down. He will get a model I reckon.

[@EdwardWB97]

There are no salamander rules

[@WePaintMinis]

@@EdwardWB97 There is the Firestorm Assault Force rules int he new codex. So kind of.

[@GarethDragon]

While Gravis armour would be cool, it wouldn't be one of the artefacts that he's looking for as the design wouldn't have existed when Vulcan was crafting them. Doesn't stop him from getting such a suit and would help to differentiate himself from Adrax Agatone visually.

[@WePaintMinis]

He does have a model, but would be cool to see him on a bike.

[@CollectableCritic]

I feel like the agressor armour makes him look taller and more menacing with his weapons, cuz he's meant to be the tallest primarch of em all.

Just to clarify, this isn't the Primarch, Vulkan, this is Vulkan He'stan, the current chapter Master. 😊

The black ark corsair kit could potentially see a re-release with the old world game as they have said they will be returning old metal, resin and plastic kits to production for it. What we don't know yet is exactly what kits and when. But potentially lots of interesting old fantasy models could be available again. Of course at what price is another thing entirely.

[@WePaintMinis]

This is very true. Fingers crossed we get access to a lot of new/old kits.

[@Raamat7]

@@WePaintMinis Black ark corsair kit is still available, its in the new cities of sigmar book.

[@WePaintMinis]

@@Raamat7 It is, just difficult to get from some stockists. I got mine from Element Games and they only had the one in stock.

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

@@WePaintMinis It is a web exclusive, so they order it from GW directly, hence zero discount on them. Quicker to go direct to a GW website or store for the box probably (assuming stores have stock).

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

This looks excellent! I've always wanted to make a Primaris He'Stan, but the tutorials or proxies people made online were either too complex or unrecognizable from the original, or in the case of one it was literally just He'Stan's design slapped onto the Haarken Worldclaimer model. On another note, what are your ingredients for Sprue glue? I understand the basic parts (plastic cement and some cut up sprue), but what kind of plastic cement is it? Extra thin? Extra thick? I want to try this recipe out myself but I don't want to accidentally fuck it up.

[@WePaintMinis]

Thank you, I am glad you like it. 😁 I use extra thin cement. I particularly use something called plastic magic, but any super thin cement would work.

[@WePaintMinis]

It's more of changing a Salamander model into a big Salamander character who's model is roughly 20 years old. An update for the current range of minis. What could be if GW decide to update those characters that folks love. I agree, Pete's video and conversion is amazing, this is more of a personal thing to fans who like these characters. Obviously not everyone's cup of tea, but that is fine. :)
