New Model WIP Update

In between final exams, senior design project, and job hunting, I've found a little time to get some painting done.  There are two models I've gotten some work done on so far.  Still a long way to go on both of them but its nice to be making some progress again.

The first model is going to be a replacement for a previous one.  Its my new Vulkan He'stan model.  The one I currently use is A) on too big of a base and B) fragile.  The Spear of Vulkan is quickly becoming The Green Stuff and Super Glue of Vulkan.  So when the new Grey Knights box came out, I jumped on the opportunity to do some cool conversions with it.  And a replacement Vulkan was my first goal.

Pretty Simple conversion overall.  I cut the barrel of the Incinerator and used it to replace the Storm Bolter barrel.  Then I added a few bits from the Space Marine tactical squad and used a Dark Elf Corsair cloak for the Mantle of Vulkan.  I also used a shoulder pad bit from Chapterhouse Studios.  The flamespout is a cinematic effect from Armorcast.

All I've got done so far is the base color with some shadowing.  I've also painted everything black that needs it.  I went with the white undercoat to make the color stand out a little more.  There is still a long way to go before he's ready for the tournament scene.  The next step will be getting the metal and decorative elements painted.

The other model I've been working on lately is a Revenger Light Warjack for my Protectorate of Menoth.  I started with a tan spray and Delvan Mud ink.  I then painted up the white armor and the black that will be either the Protectorate symbol or steel/metal.  The white was done with multiple layers to add a blending effect.  Its kind of hard to see in the pictures though.

The next step for this guy is paint the silver metal colors and move onto the faction color.  I'm probably going to do a purple armor color for him.  This is my first Protectorate model so he's serving as a test piece for a variety of ideas.

Hopefully time will let me finish at least one of these guys in the next week or so.  Thanks for reading!
