Your minis look so sick, I might have to try the same with mine and save those masks for some Night Lords. I'd love to see what you can do with the Enforcers as I think they have incredible conversion potential.
I actually quite like the enforcers when painted with a different colour scheme than the yellow on the box. Theres some really cool grey and black schemes i have seen that make them look way cooler
1:56 Whoa! That Space Marine Heads really makes that in to a cool looking mini. With a weapon swap, he could easily be a member of a Void Ship Crew. 5:59 Greasy Joe looks Brütal; I'm sure that Nathan Explosion would approve.
The moment Eric described what he'd visualized, combined with the expression on the model's face I did my Nathan Explosion impression for my cat and he looked at me like I'm an idiot. Brutal. I won't let it get to me though - he hasn't seen the show anyway so he has no basis for comparison. Also he's a cat, not a theatre critic. Super pleased to see the scupting of the hair actually matched the vision so well :) Anyway, great video as always - I love the chill vibe combined with creativity and skill at modelling. Keep up the good works Eric!
I can definitely relate to the FOMO of a limited box. Usually ends up in selling it later…inspired to try something like this instead! Great format for this one.
Now I'm.a fan of the basic sculpt but the glory of necromunda is making things your own. I've seen Escher gangs with bits from the shock troops sprue for example. These look cracking and the paint job looks simple and fun
This is the first video of yours that i watch, recommended by youtube.. this is the BEST use of and "tutorial" on contrast paints. Easy, fast, with an amazing result. The lack of advanced techniques added over the contrast is a breath of fresh air.
Really dig those conversions! The mixing guilliman flesh turned out really nice. I wonder whether a thinned mix of guilliman flesh, apothecary white, and a touch of purple would produce a nice, pale tone for things like vampires? Gonna have to try that!
Simple but very effective, you have made those minatures loads better. I too have the box set sat in my hobby cupboard doing nothing, inspired to crack it open .
Loving the customizations. I've been wanting to take some German WWII tank crew miniatures and turn them into post-apocalypse scavengers and this is a nice video for inspiration!
In terms of spray paints, I’ve had very good luck with Krylon Short Cuts. They come in a lot of colours and you can find them at Michael’s or online. They are pretty forgiving and they always dry smoothly. Once or twice it looked like I sprayed too thickly but when it dried it was fine.
Excellent video with great content! Simple conversions with just bits and a bit of clay, and a straightforward paint job to get them on the table. Perfect
This gang has never really caught my attention, mostly because of those masks. You've done really well in turning them into something much more aesthetic. Thank you for talking us through it and for sharing
This is my entire relationship with imperium magazine... Somehow, ive ended up with a massively expanded genestealer cult 😅 (i kept a token squad of marines, captain and agressors, 2 squads of necron warriors, the wraith, lord, spider and barge) Everything else was cannibalised as I pondered on just why I was collecting that series.
Omg! Thank you so much for this video! I also fund myself not likeing the corpse grinder cult models. I didn't really know why, but now i see it's definetly their heads. I hope you don't mind if i steal this idea. ^_^
They turned out really well. Right before the blood got added, they looked like they all just got out of the shower because of how clean their skin looked. I expected them to be a bit dusty and grimy, but i guess they are culinary worker and take the health code very seriously. Who knows, maybe the blood is from people who didn't wash their hands properly.
Thanks man. They’re cool heads, they just seemed a bit costumey and formal for what the corpse grinders are supposed to be. They’ll make an appearance in my night lords army at some point probably
these look tons better than the daft skullomania masks also I can definitely relate with painting every weapon absolutely drenched in blood as a kid lol
they look awesome. i'm with you on the blood spatters, I can never make it look good but these techniques on the right miniatures, it's a great finishing step. for spray undercoat I swear by tamiya.
I love the guy with that greasy mane of black hair, sort of Conan born into the working class of 40k hive city. Under the oppressive non-individualistic dominium great hero turned a simple space butcher that sets out on the weekends with his work mates to pillage about the city.
I thought the same, that the faces from the original miniatures doesn't look very good. You made very cool miniatures out of them... Good job.... Greetings from Germany
The minis look great. That Wraith Bone is seriously the best rattle can I have ever used, though I have always struggled with spray primer and I usually prefer the brush-on stuff. If you don't want those masks though, can I maybe trade you something for them?
I’ve always over looked this gang. But seeing what you did with them and the colour scheme. It dose make me want to have a crack at converting my own. Maybe try and make a home brew house of my own.
"Spend all their time working in the shop and don't get any sunlight" - because sunlight is so available in Necromunda. You know, the Escher girls just spend their afternoons sunbathing in their metal bikinis on the water reclamation beaches
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop 🤣Sunbathing in the ash wastes. I will grab my shades and sunblock and meet you there! At least it is less sandy than the beach or Tatooine, I suppose 😂
For me the idea of Corpse Grinders, butchers who went insane from their daily task of rendering their fellow humans into protein paste, is cool. However, their models are probably the worst of all Necromunda; they go a bit too far for what's essentially supposed to be a simple concept. For a bunch of insane butcher cultists, the masks and armour look waaaay too manufactured for the purpose instead of cobbled together (preferably from unattached faces) and honestly, what's the fundamental difference between a Corpse Grinder's spooky mask and something a standard, relatively lawful Goliath would wear? I've got a bunch of Fantasy Gors and Bestigors I'll be looking to convert into my own Corpse Grinder Cult, at least then this mutant, bestial caricature of a human charging at you drenched in gore and smelling like blood and rotting meat, whirring chain cleavers wet from a fresh kill, glinting arterial crimson in the dim light of the tunnels is something to actually be afraid of, even in the underhive. Not just a hench dude in a Halloween party mask.

Hahha he looks just like nathan explosion now that you mention it!
The moment Eric described what he'd visualized, combined with the expression on the model's face I did my Nathan Explosion impression for my cat and he looked at me like I'm an idiot.
Brutal.

This is exactly the kind of video I like to watch, you converted AND painted something cool! Lets go dude its like a 2 for 1
“He just didn’t look formidable enough.” Eric says about the giant roided dude swinging an electric buzz saw around. 😅
Eric's 'Formidi-ometer goes up to 11
I thought the same, like "yeah he doesn't...wait what?"
I can definitely relate to the FOMO of a limited box. Usually ends up in selling it later…inspired to try something like this instead! Great format for this one.
Thanks Dylan. I have been better at resisting FOMO recently, but GW makes it hard
Now I'm.a fan of the basic sculpt but the glory of necromunda is making things your own. I've seen Escher gangs with bits from the shock troops sprue for example.
These look cracking and the paint job looks simple and fun
Love the fact that you mentioned Baer,he’s one of my favourite heavyweights
Hes pretty awesome. They did him dirty in Cinderella man, but i still like that movie anyways.
I’ve found that mixing brown acrylic and red watercolours work very well as blood and weak red watercolours look great as a bloody wash
that's a good format; rather than just having the voice over.
yeah looks really good, hope you keep this eric
Glad you liked it! I tried something new with this, but plan to have lots more green screen shenanigans in future videos
@@DoubleDowner Eric starting a new meta for hobby youtubers
I didn't even notice before i saw your comment. This means it's good.
regarding the space marine hand, you could paint the top of the fist and wrist armored and leave the fingers as exposed flesh.
I think i painted the whole hand metal. Its a bionic now
This is the first video of yours that i watch, recommended by youtube.. this is the BEST use of and "tutorial" on contrast paints. Easy, fast, with an amazing result. The lack of advanced techniques added over the contrast is a breath of fresh air.
I'm super vibing your extremely smooth use of contrast, and on flat surfaces too, it came up so well. Great vid!
The fun of chaos cults is that the models are so ubiquitous you can use bits from anny army for them
Really dig those conversions! The mixing guilliman flesh turned out really nice. I wonder whether a thinned mix of guilliman flesh, apothecary white, and a touch of purple would produce a nice, pale tone for things like vampires? Gonna have to try that!
I would leave out the apothecary white. The grey pigment would probably muddy everything up. Just a hunch though, worth experimenting!
Awesome video mate, you've made me about 500% more interested in these models now.
Great! Me too
Love how you so effortlessly make those minis your own
Your miniature putty sculpts are always so fun to see! I loved seeing it in this and the podracer
Thanks! Im getting in the swing of it. Putty vexed me for years
Simple but very effective, you have made those minatures loads better.
I too have the box set sat in my hobby cupboard doing nothing, inspired to crack it open .
Kitbashing and converting is the best part of the hobby
Loving the customizations. I've been wanting to take some German WWII tank crew miniatures and turn them into post-apocalypse scavengers and this is a nice video for inspiration!
All hail the You Tube algorithm gods. Those head swaps look great! Nice work on the paint too!
Way better than the original heads. Also good job on the weathering and blood works!
Thanks!
Would totally love to see then other gang from that set built and painted!!!
Amazing work on this model. At first I fought the weathering was a bit too light but with this blood effect it is just perfect!
In terms of spray paints, I’ve had very good luck with Krylon Short Cuts. They come in a lot of colours and you can find them at Michael’s or online. They are pretty forgiving and they always dry smoothly. Once or twice it looked like I sprayed too thickly but when it dried it was fine.
see kids blood isn't just red I've been saying it looks cartoony for years. Well done
Excellent video with great content! Simple conversions with just bits and a bit of clay, and a straightforward paint job to get them on the table. Perfect
Love that color scheme and paint job
This gang has never really caught my attention, mostly because of those masks. You've done really well in turning them into something much more aesthetic. Thank you for talking us through it and for sharing
For fresh blood effects, Tamiya Clear Red is definitely worth checking out.
This is my entire relationship with imperium magazine...

:) Yay new video. I definitely think this was the right choice to change the heads
They turned out really well. Right before the blood got added, they looked like they all just got out of the shower because of how clean their skin looked. I expected them to be a bit dusty and grimy, but i guess they are culinary worker and take the health code very seriously. Who knows, maybe the blood is from people who didn't wash their hands properly.
Same Here. I never liked the aesthetics of the corpse grinder miniatures, but I Love your versions
They’re actually really nice models once you get beyond the heads! The heads seem more like something a pit fighter would wear
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop you're right. And now I can never unsee the Donnie Darko Rabbit 🤣
Hahahahaah that comparison with the rabbit in Donny Darko was perfect
didnt like the corpse grinder cult, but the bodies with unmasked heads look great, excellent scheme that actually makes me want to get these models!
The finished sculpted hair just is so metal. It screams Nathan Exploaion to me!
These are so RAD!! Way better than the original designs!!
To quote the reverend Nathan Explosion, "Brutal".
Yeah those heads really just look goofy, I used the nice masks from the unmade kit for mine.
I dig it man. I may put some regular heads on mine when I get to them.
i love that donnie darko model but understand big dumb rabbit ears on a chaos champion is not for everyone. they turned out great
Thanks man. They’re cool heads, they just seemed a bit costumey and formal for what the corpse grinders are supposed to be. They’ll make an appearance in my night lords army at some point probably
These look spectacular. You absolutely nailed both the conversation and the paint job. Well done man. 👍
9:40
"nobody walks around with a bloody blade"
Kharn, with bloodstained armor: Shi-
Hahaa i have some berserkers for my night lords that are gore soaked that are another exception
10:13 Eli Roth just called. He wants those minis for the next Hostel movie. Excellent job on those butcers, mate.
Love the guy you did the hair on. He looks like Nathan Explosion
Hahaha you are the second person to point that out. He does! I have never watched that show but its uncanny
Oh these look awesome. Gives me hope that I should manage to end up figuring which one of the different gangs I want to use as a base.
Sweet, simple conversion. Love the paint job.
these look tons better than the daft skullomania masks
also I can definitely relate with painting every weapon absolutely drenched in blood as a kid lol
they look awesome. i'm with you on the blood spatters, I can never make it look good but these techniques on the right miniatures, it's a great finishing step.

love the conversions & colour sceme. super cool
there are no bad minis, just minis that haven't been converted yet.
Absolutely gorgeous models!
I love the guy with that greasy mane of black hair, sort of Conan born into the working class of 40k hive city.

This video predicted my interest to ask your opinion on conversions and how much you into these side of hobby ))
I really enjoy that side of the hobby!
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop and i really enjoy this kind of videos! carry on this theme as well as many of your others - it comes very well
The skinner/butcher with hair kinda makes me think of a lil angron - dope stuff
Great conversions, and I really like that Skilsaw dude :D
Thanks for the inspiration! Enjoyed the video.
Those models are bussin god damn
I like how gorey you made them with the blood
Love the floating head vo in this vid. Big up in production quality. Keep it up!
just so you are aware, Wraithbone has no primer in it - it is only a spray paint. All GW spray cans with a clear top contain no primer in it!
With some cutting and scraping those corpse grinder heads make great 40K assassin heads.
Kitbashing is fun! Can't remember when I last built anything "as intended". :)
Nicely done! Sometimes, little changes and conversions can make a huge improvement! Keep on rocking, Eric!
I bet AoS Khornite warriors’ shoulderpads would work even better on these guys than Chaos Marine paudrons.
Great format Eric! Looks really good.
I didn't realise that it was the hats putting me off the Corpse Grinders until now, this solves a great mystery for me!
Those turned out looking amazing!! Great vidya!
The minis look great. That Wraith Bone is seriously the best rattle can I have ever used, though I have always struggled with spray primer and I usually prefer the brush-on stuff.
If you don't want those masks though, can I maybe trade you something for them?
Love the conversions. I like the green-screen format, too.
I can't wait to have enough spare parts to do this!
Let's see some terrain to match them!! Looks great!!!
I don't have or paint minis... but I do enjoy watching your videos 💜
Im glad you still enjoy them 😊
I’ve always over looked this gang. But seeing what you did with them and the colour scheme. It dose make me want to have a crack at converting my own. Maybe try and make a home brew house of my own.
Great! Its amazing what some quick conversions can do. Im looking at other minis i dont like differently now too…
"Spend all their time working in the shop and don't get any sunlight" - because sunlight is so available in Necromunda. You know, the Escher girls just spend their afternoons sunbathing in their metal bikinis on the water reclamation beaches
Theres sun outside the hive if you have business in the ash wastes
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop 🤣Sunbathing in the ash wastes. I will grab my shades and sunblock and meet you there! At least it is less sandy than the beach or Tatooine, I suppose 😂
Those cultists look so good! Once the blood was on them I just started laughing. You flippin nailed it. Awesome job!
I’m currently converting an ambot for my chaos cult, gotta use up those bits!
I was looking to get an ambot too. I dont like the pincer face, so i have been thinking about other heads
Thank goodness, I found a video that is not about orks!
Great stuff! Nice work, Eric.
heh, "Meat Shop". :)
"What are you up to today, Sam?"
"Not much, gotta put in my hours at my new job."
"Oh, where ya working now?"
"The Meat Shop."
Some awesome miniatures
Dude they look great
These are amazing. So well-done!
I can never look at those standard butcher models again with out laughing and thinking of the Donnie Darko Bunnie 🤦♂️😂😂😂
Awesome customs mate. Keep it up.
lmao hit us with that linus tech tips segway

They look great! I love Corpse Grinders personally, love that blood splatter!
New format! I like it!
These look sick !
another classic Boylei
Remember never cut tord? your self 💯 unless you're a mini war gamer 😎!!
Great Job, looks great.
These are cute. I don't care what anyone says... anything small is cute. 🤣✨
Man, those look awesome!
That blood is soooo real. I might eat veggies tonight.
