	'''Vulkan He'stan''' is the Forgefather of the [[Salamanders]] chapter of [[Space Marines]], once the [[Brother-Captain\|Captain]] of the Fourth Company. He should not be confused with [[Vulkan]], the [[Primarch]] of the Salamanders; He'stan used to have a different first name, but he gave it up for Vulkan's when he became the Forgefather.

	Part of his duty as Forgefather is to seek the artifacts that Vulkan made and scattered throughout the galaxy. In particular, four remain to be found: the Engine of Woe, the Obsidian Chariot, the Unbound Flame, and the Song of Entropy. His task would be made slightly easier if anyone alive knew what these were, but apparently, Vulkan only left the names. Vulkan spent some time in a casket inscribed with the words ''Unbound Flame'', but he did not make the casket, it is on Nocturne, not lost, and its nature is known to both the Salamanders and the Ultramarines, rather than a total mystery.

	In addition to having the statline of a [[Brother-Captain]] (with a 2+/3++ instead of a 3+ armor save) and all his tricked-out wargear, Vulkan He'stan confers a great advantage on the army that he leads: all ~~[[meltagun]]s~~, ~~combi-meltas~~, ~~and [[multi~~-~~melta]]s become master-crafted (in addition~~ to ~~Salamanders Chapter Tactics, of course, so a model with~~ both ~~has two master-crafted weapons)~~. For this reason (not to mention being one of the [[Salamanders]], and therefore one of the few genuinely good guys in the [[Warhammer 40,000]] universe), he is a popular choice to lead [[Space Marine]] armies.		In addition to having the statline of a [[Brother-Captain]] (with a 2+/3++ instead of a 3+ armor save) and all his tricked-out wargear, Vulkan He'stan confers a great advantage on the army that he leads: all melta and flame weapons in a unit he focuses on that meets some criteria loosely fitting "any non-centurion infantry, any bike, or any dreadnought" re-roll to both hit ''and'' wound. For this reason (not to mention being one of the [[Salamanders]], and therefore one of the few genuinely good guys in the [[Warhammer 40,000]] universe), he is a popular choice to lead [[Space Marine]] armies.

	A common strategy is to field a list full of ~~meltas, combi~~-meltas~~, flamers,~~ and ~~combi-~~flamers packed into drop pods when using him. This is because using a melta becomes a lot more reliable when using Vulkan He'Stan, meaning you can count on the meltas to at least hit (and we all know [[Rape\|what happens when a ~~Meltagun~~ hits]]). Also of note is that he makes stock Dreadnoughts incredibly efficient when used in a drop pod. If you upgrade the dreadnought to ''Venerable'', you literally have a ''2.78% chance of missing the target''. Great for when you absolutely have to kill that pesky [[Land Raider]].		A common strategy is to field a list full of multi-meltas and heavy flamers packed into drop pods when using him.

	Another thing of note is that despite his army-buffing prowess (the biggest reason most people take him), he's got great prowess of his own. While having "only" the stat-line of a Captain, he's actually a steal in terms of points. A Salamanders captain with ~~a 2~~+~~/3++, heavy flamer, digital weapons, and a (master crafted~~ for ~~free~~, ~~since salamanders) Relic Blade~~ costs ~~165 points (and remember that~~ a ~~Captain~~, ~~heck~~, ~~anything not~~ a ~~Sternguard~~, ~~Termie or The Legion of~~ the ~~Damned~~, ~~can~~'~~t normally take~~ a ~~'''Heavy Flamer!'''). This means ''master crafting every melta in your army'' costs only 25~~ points~~; plus~~, ~~when~~ he'~~s your Warlord,~~ on ~~top of~~ master~~-crafting your meltas, he gets FnP(5+).~~		Another thing of note is that despite his army-buffing prowess (the biggest reason most people take him), he's got great prowess of his own. While having "only" the stat-line of a Captain, he's actually a steal in terms of points. A Salamanders captain somehow allowed to buy all of his gear at once with costs scaled to the captain's equipment would be 85 base + about 7 for the force axe, based on his costs of 5 for a power axe, which is worse, and 10 for a relic blade, which is much better + about 10 for the flamer, since it's on par with a combiflamer + about 7 for the combat shield presumably granting him a 2+ = 109 points, and he'd still be stuck at a 4++; you'd need to upgrade him to a full-on chapter master to ''also'' include something like his buffing, which would spike you to ''149''.

	~~Also, his special rules also master-crafts the bolter part of combi-meltas, which is pretty awesome, especially with Sternguards~~ '''~~(confirmed by page 5 of the current main rulebook FAQ)~~'~~''. Furthermore~~, ~~he should master-craft his own bolt pistol with his Chapter Tactics (Salamanders).~~

	~~===8th Edition===~~
	~~While He~~'~~stan~~'~~s statline remains as ded~~'~~ard as ever, his placement does not. Gone is the ability to master-craft all the things, though he does get both a standard Captain~~'~~s 6" aura allowing his comrades to re-roll 1s to hit and an aura to let them re-roll to wound with flamer and melta weapons.~~

	His Gauntlet remains a Heavy Flamer with Assault d6, which makes it more dangerous, while his spear is quite dangerous at S+2 AP-2 D1d3, capable of shattering marines without an issue, especially when you combine this with his Warlord Strength for STRENGTH EIGHT.
