I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Luis Zain i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
There's a lot that can be done. Most of my Death Guard minis are AoS: zombie/poxwalkers, skaven/cultists, and now I want to get some Putrid Blightkings.
This is the "magic" I like about this hobby. Converting, Kitbashing and making something truly unique. 20 years ago the possibilities were limited to white dwarf and only an handfull of people. But with channels like yours I have improved so much faster! Perhaps you make some more of these. ,or even some tutorials , or a link collection to youtubers you know with "why you recommend them" in a video.
You say that but the old 3rd edition Daemonhunter Codex allowed any faction to field Daemons and mutants as they fell to Chaos, thus enabling the justification as to why the Ordo Malleus and Grey Knights were deployed. Each faction had several possible ideas for how, in the fluff, they could be corrupted and yes even the Orks had a few options, including: -Ork chants are accidentally resonating daemonic crystals, awakening them -The Ork boss is possessed (apparently a thing in 3rd edition lore, anyway) -The Orks salvaged parts/metal from a Chaos titan for their gargant -Orks found a Nurgle temple and saw a big, green god they think is an aspect or Gork (or maybe Mork?) and have attracted Nurgle's favor So Orks on the whole seem Warp resistant but old lore hinted that Orks could, under rare circumstances, fall sway to Chaotic influence. The art on nearby pages depict Orks with mutations whose armor are adorned with chaos stars and Marks of Nurgle.
40K Fans: "Will there be a WH40K and Age of Sigmar crossover?" Games Workshop: "They live in different universes. They are unrelated." Casey: "We'll see about that..." Great job on the conversion! Look forward to the actually painting video! Cheers! Btw - Soy Casey is hilarious!
Tbh AoS minis are great. My salamanders chaptermaster and his honour guard are made from a lord ordinator and sigmarines with some dragon cloaks from the old WHFantasy dark elf corsairs. All my khorne berserkers are made AoS blood warriors, my khorne cultists are made from bloodreavers and i think about make some chaosspawns from korgoraths.
'Some sort of Ork army, infested by Nurgle and bough back to life'- DO IT !! - just DO IT !! I don't see why Humans have to have all of Lord Nurgles blessings ! Can't wait to see how these guys turn out after painting they look such fun !
Love how these guys turned out (especially the addition of the bolter nurgling). Conversion can be so therapeutic sometimes, and adds so much personality to a force. I made a diorama many years ago with a bunch of wood elf glade guard camouflaged and hiding in trees above a peasant camp ready to ambush, and after snipping off a couple of bits and some repositioning, I made it so the wood elves' leader was making a 'shh' gesture with a finger to his lips. A super simple and small bit of conversion, but really fun and atmospheric. Sometimes going that extra mile and rummaging in your bitbox really pays off!
It was really freeing, I honestly don’t know why I haven’t done this more! That sounds like an awesome project, reminds me of a conversion I did when I was younger, I took an Eldar guardian and made him go full neo from the matrix, flipping upside down while one hand shooting with his gun. Super fun with just a little repositioning and snipping. I’m glad you enjoyed the video :)
I "rescued" 7 leman russes from eBay with plasticard greenstuff and bits. They turned out great and unique. Also I only paid 6 euro each tank. That's what I call a great deal.
Yep... A dremel can also be great for drilling out gun barrels. I tried that rather early on the very first set of models I purchased. To be fair, I study dentistry, so I already had some classes that exercise working with rotary tools on very small areas. (DISCLAIMER: we only work on dummies and nothing we produce in the later mentioned classes will end up in a real persons mouth. Later courses might involve building stuff that is put in someones mouth but for that I either will buy new bits, much more likely the university medical center provides tools for said tasks. Also, dentures and crowns etc are cleaned and rinsed and disenfected countless times before they are finally given to a patient/implanted.) Not only did I use the build in "dremel" on the denturist workplaces we used for our denturist classes (there are always phases were one waits for plaster casts to cure or similar brakes) , I used drill bits that are designed to be used on dentures and other dental prosthetics so they are very accurate. I managed to drill out the barrel and the side holes on the bolt pistol meant for the commissar that comes with the militarum starter box. Since I finished the class I don't have access to said workplaces but I do have a dremel and I spent less than 5 euro on a set of chucks that had one that allows to put on the denturist burring and grinding bits (they have thinner shafts than regular dremel bits) I own. Now I can use a hole array of tools I already have and that are well suited for treating small details. I'm accually looking forward to look what I can do on metal miniatures. Since a lot of my tools are made to work on dental alloys I am convinced they will have an easy time on the rather soft alloy miniatures are made from.
I adore AoS conversions to 40k, and vice versa. This model ended up super awesome (especially the Nurgling). The music is the second best part of your videos, after the models ;)
I still have a few more of them too, I really want to do more conversions, probably for warcry :) Thanks again man! I know it took a while, but it’s better to wait for the right moment than rush it!
I've seen someone convert primaris into a bunch of different Zeon mobile suits (from gundam) and honestly seeing you, BMC and miscast doing conversions has tempted me to actually go ahead and do it too. Have no conversion experience but it might be easy enough for even me to do...
I have very little experience converting models, if I can do it then you certainly can! On this channel I’ve done 2 conversions, and they were pretty basic, this is the farthest I’ve ever taken it. It was fun, and way easier than I expected. Best advice I can give is to jump in with both feet and give it a real try!
They look really cool. I'm glad you took the time to make this video. While I do enjoy watching you paint, I think showing the customization side is just as neat to watch. It threw me when I saw you making the tentacles. Dude, that is really nice & easy. As for going overboard, you make that determination. If it's what you want, it's not too much. Looking forward to more videos like this in the future. Keep up the great work.
If you dont alreay have one, Id highly recommend a hobby saw. I find it works way better than the knife for cutting thicker plastic like arms and legs... and they are only around 10 bucks!
Invest in some Tamiya Micro saws. Theyre like .5mm laser etched. They are a kit bashers best friend. It is so much better than clipping. You dont warp the parts from the cut or lose any length
Thanks, I’ll check them out! I have an ooooold hobby kit with little saws, but I got them when I was 11 or 12 and they are all old and rusty now, must have gotten water on them in the garage from sitting for so long. I definitely need some precision tools :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues A video about painting? What an interesting departure from the usual content :P Good. Not showing off the end result would be cruel.
Love it. I use a dremel for less-delicate work but i also have a rotary jewelry tool which is perfect for lighter touches, cheap too only 30--40 or so on amazon. With the right bits, also helps to "polish" green stuff and delicate enough to remove flashing. Cheers mate, new sub incoming!!! :D
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Yeah my man. I just came 'back' to WH40k after 20+ years so the videos by creators like you have given me much inspiration and super-handy tips and tricks!!
The bodies are big enough, even the arms really are, that you could probably fit a magnet somewhere in there and it would work. Replace a bolter arm for a sword and you're good to go :)
First, I wanna say that I am sad that you have sorta moved away from the underway blightkings, I was really looking forward to seeing what you could come up with. Secondly, I gotta say they all turned out really great I think Papa Nurgle would be very proud. PS. Do know of a paint company that makes a really nice metallic purple?
Yeah it’s just been one of those projects that I was really excited about, and then it kind of dipped because I didn’t know how to make them the way I wanted. Ironically, now that this one is done, I think I have the stuff I need to actually do it! The project may be postponed, but it will not be forgotten! For a metallic purple, id check Turbo Dork. They have a really nice line of colored metalics, and I have to imagine they have a purple in that line. Otherwise, Daler Rowney makes a purple ink called violet velours with a nice sheen to it, you could mix something like that with a bright aluminum color and get a really nice purple that way.
Kind of surprised you didnt pin the bit on. While superglue and plastic cement can make a good join, nothing beats a pin with those two items involved as well.
Nothing beats a pin for sure, but I usually only do that if there isn’t a ton of space for the connection. Most of these bits had pretty large surface areas, even the arm bits weren’t too bad.
Kind of wierd angle on the axe and the head. Bit lower angle on the axe to give it some heft and straighten out the head or make it glance left over the axe to some sororitas or to the right.
Those look fantastic. So, I've not been able to get into Warhammer yet, it's one of those hobbies I've been interested in since waaaaay back in HS, but was always very hesitant of due to size/time requirements and the obvious sticker shock of getting into it. I had never done any model stuff, or painting, until October of last year when I painted up a D&D Young Copper Dragon to enter a painting contest at my local game store. Since then, I've been slowly watching more and more painting/crafting videos and Warhammer has been pretty prevalent in most of the people I've been watching. Still haven't been able to get past that mental block of the $$ yet to really take the plunge, so I've not really looked into the rules of the game. But! (This has been a long winded comment to get to this point) * How do these work in the game? Points wise, legality of play wise, etc? Do you have to have certain bits on models for them to count as something or can you paint up some zombies with some molded armor and tentacles and say, these are my sweet chaos boys and they have x weapons? * If I were to get into it the chaos armies and adeptus mechanicus are the two groups that have really piqued my interest. (though, the concepts of the Orks in Warhammer are far more fun sounding than the Orcs I know about) So being able to create something on my own for those could be a fun interesting way to start off the hobby before I start getting more invested. tldr: Great video, as are all of yours, and the most important bit is between the **s
Death guard all the best factions can't wait to see what they look like painted do you remember the the original Terminator box cover orange with a black and white decor on the power fist
I was able to find videos of Jeremy's (Black Magic Crafts) Death Guard army but do you have any links to Trent's (miscast) army with all the conversions?
Type in "Nurgle Diaries" into the search and you'll get all of Trent's Nurgle stuff, there's a playlist as well that should come up in the first 10 spots at least.
Yeah the whole thing really only makes sense if you happen to have left over blightkings, or you get some for super cheap on eBay. If I were to do this again I’d be 1000% making blighlord terminators instead. The size makes more sense, as well as the base size.
It can be hard at first without extra bits, but there are several large bits dealers on eBay, usually pretty cheap too. I like to browse and just buy bits sometimes, never know when you might need something cool :)
I feel pretty much anything is ok to do with Deathguard. Just don't glue hamburger meat to a model. Yes, that happened at my local game store years ago.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues yeah. I didn't experience it personally, but I was told it got to rotting and the guy tried to play a game with them and everyone starting retching.
How would I get ahold of you about doin something for me ? And I loved this video honestly it was amazing too see another aspect of the hobby it's been awhile since I've seen you do a little conversion I wanna say it's been since the celestine rescue
Yeah it’s been a while! I’m glad You enjoyed the video man :) Unfortunately commissions are closed right now, if you want to submit a request for later then I have some info and a form on my website ebayminiaturerescues.com I’m not sure when they will be opened back up right now, but I appreciate it very much that you would want me to do some work for you.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues well I'm starting an deathwatch army for crusade and im grabbing some terminators from a buddy he says they been gathering dust and it would honestly be they best thing about the army if I could get them customed by you plus maybe they would a video which I would probably die lol but either way keep doing what you do man love the channel and the content !
I love your channel and I appreciate all of the effort you put into making them look this good. But I've gotta admit that the rock music in the background is quite distracting when I'm trying to focus on what you're describing and demonstrating. Two voices at the same time is a bit much.
You’re probably right, I appreciate the feedback. Sometimes it seems to work fine, these ones I was a little worried about the vocals being a bit too much.
Yeah, they are good, but the main problem for me, when people do 40k convertions out of AoS minis, that they are leaving this leather boots on them. It's ruining all for me
Makes sense, there are a handful of blightkings that have armor all the way down, maybe it’s more of a model choice for that aesthetic. Pick the ones in full armor. In this case, I’m workin with what I’ve got, so I can’t be too picky about the leather, but I totally see your point :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues i'm also doing 40k nurgle models from blightkings. Blightlord terminators, to be precise. And where there were boots, I just cut them off and replaced with 30k terminator legs
They look awful ... just like any nurgle blight death putrid thing should. Loving the new studio and personality in the videos. Now stop playing with your toys and slap some paint on them!
I suppose it depends. I got a set of blightkings for somewhere around $20 on ebay. Bits weren’t too expensive, you could spend another $10/15 if you wanted to just get weapons and heads. A box of 7 plague marines from GW is $50. So for less then that you get a unique death guard unit and probably had way more fun putting them together and painting. On the other hand you could find used plague marines and they might be the same price or less. But then they would just be plague marines like everyone else has. It’s all about your personal hobby, so whatever is best for you makes sense. That being said, I don’t even play 40K, so my 5 man blightkings squad is now down by 1 lol. Gonna have to get more on eBay to make a proper warband!
The nurgling on the gun is definitely making all kinds of pew pew noises
lol yes
Great video, I thumb-upped twice! Bolter nurgling is amazing.
There are never enough nurglings.
Owner of _goober brocep_ confirmed.

AoS to 40k sounds like an amazing series.
Any opportunity I get! I’d love to do more for sure.
There's a lot that can be done. Most of my Death Guard minis are AoS: zombie/poxwalkers, skaven/cultists, and now I want to get some Putrid Blightkings.
Reminds me of old school GW where they used to have fun with things.
Hey! Space marines but slightly bigger can be fun too!... I'm not in denial!
The Nurgling on the gun is such a great detail, I love it xD
I’ve always loved those little nurglings, they are ridiculous enough to make any nurgle model make sense, the more ridiculous the better :)
This is the "magic" I like about this hobby.
Converting, Kitbashing and making something truly unique.

Nerd Casey should tell you "Orks dont fall into chaos!"
Hahah, true, and I imagine there will be a bit in there about that. Could be a cool looking warband though :)
You say that but the old 3rd edition Daemonhunter Codex allowed any faction to field Daemons and mutants as they fell to Chaos, thus enabling the justification as to why the Ordo Malleus and Grey Knights were deployed. Each faction had several possible ideas for how, in the fluff, they could be corrupted and yes even the Orks had a few options, including:
-Ork chants are accidentally resonating daemonic crystals, awakening them
-The Ork boss is possessed (apparently a thing in 3rd edition lore, anyway)
-The Orks salvaged parts/metal from a Chaos titan for their gargant
-Orks found a Nurgle temple and saw a big, green god they think is an aspect or Gork (or maybe Mork?) and have attracted Nurgle's favor
So Orks on the whole seem Warp resistant but old lore hinted that Orks could, under rare circumstances, fall sway to Chaotic influence. The art on nearby pages depict Orks with mutations whose armor are adorned with chaos stars and Marks of Nurgle.
Whiny Casey is a great mix of frustrating and humorous.
Cameo Casey from the other room is the greatest. Love these scenes... Thumb up twice, just for case.
conversions are one of my favorite things to do in this hobby!
40K Fans: "Will there be a WH40K and Age of Sigmar crossover?"

Glad you shouted out Trent’s Nurgle army!! I can’t wait to see how that one turns out. Great vid as always 😊
The age of spacemarines is over. THE AGE OF NURGLES HAS COME.
All chaos space marines ever: nani???
Great conversion, and in my opinion you added the perfect amount of tentacles. I'll have to look into that roller.
Thanks man! Yeah that roller is a fantastic find, highly recommended :) greenstuff world sells it on their site, I got mine through their eBay store.
I really love them they're absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see them all painted up!

Grandfather Nurgle smiles upon us all. May his gifts bloat you with joyous putrification💚
Love how these guys turned out (especially the addition of the bolter nurgling). Conversion can be so therapeutic sometimes, and adds so much personality to a force. I made a diorama many years ago with a bunch of wood elf glade guard camouflaged and hiding in trees above a peasant camp ready to ambush, and after snipping off a couple of bits and some repositioning, I made it so the wood elves' leader was making a 'shh' gesture with a finger to his lips. A super simple and small bit of conversion, but really fun and atmospheric. Sometimes going that extra mile and rummaging in your bitbox really pays off!
It was really freeing, I honestly don’t know why I haven’t done this more! That sounds like an awesome project, reminds me of a conversion I did when I was younger, I took an Eldar guardian and made him go full neo from the matrix, flipping upside down while one hand shooting with his gun. Super fun with just a little repositioning and snipping.

Nicely done with the conversions 🤘 I'm in the midst of converting a daemon prince to fit my iron warriors a bit better myself
Nice, I’ve been trying to come up with a good demon prince conversion for a long time..I’m thinking sooner than later id like to give that a go :)
I was literally looking for how to do already made mini conversions and then this pops up thank you so much
Hah, good timing :) I’m glad this could help.
This are some really nice death guards
Thanks man :) I was pretty happy with the outcome.
The Nurgling sitting on the bolter is a great touch. I’ve gotta get me a tentacle maker.
Nurglings make everything better! That tentacle maker is legit, definitely worth picking up.
For tentacles with a roller (or comb) try using two-part plumbing epoxy instead of greenstuff... Way cheaper and dries in ten minutes.
I pulled out the milliput, didn’t end up using it, but I’ll give it a try! Thanks :)
Interesting to see something other than pure repainting! Looking forward to seeing the final product!
This was very enjoyable for me, I am excited to paint though, should be fun :)

"Way to complicated. Just slap a power pack on the back and give them a shoulder pad!"
-my buddy André
lol, if only!
@@eBayMiniatureRescues he has some interesting ideas, when it comes to converting.
honestly with the tentacles they could still be a depth/ squid themed aquatic nurgle faction
I still plan on doing that project eventually, even more tentacles would absolutely be called for :)
I immediately thought that those tentacles looked like horns that could world well on a Khorn or Slaanesh conversion.
You could make some great horns with this for sure :)

I need to get a kit, I have an old hobby saw but it's really old and no good anymore.
You can also rotate one of the plates of the tentacle/cable tool 90deg to get scaly/octopus looking tentacles ;)
Nice, I’ll have to try that, thanks :)

yay a new video, btw love the fact that you didnt paint. I mean love it
Haha, thanks :)
Those look fantastic. So, I've not been able to get into Warhammer yet, it's one of those hobbies I've been interested in since waaaaay back in HS, but was always very hesitant of due to size/time requirements and the obvious sticker shock of getting into it. I had never done any model stuff, or painting, until October of last year when I painted up a D&D Young Copper Dragon to enter a painting contest at my local game store. Since then, I've been slowly watching more and more painting/crafting videos and Warhammer has been pretty prevalent in most of the people I've been watching. Still haven't been able to get past that mental block of the $$ yet to really take the plunge, so I've not really looked into the rules of the game. But! (This has been a long winded comment to get to this point)

How do these work in the game? Points wise, legality of play wise, etc? Do you have to have certain bits on models for them to count as something or can you paint up some zombies with some molded armor and tentacles and say, these are my sweet chaos boys and they have x weapons?

If I were to get into it the chaos armies and adeptus mechanicus are the two groups that have really piqued my interest. (though, the concepts of the Orks in Warhammer are far more fun sounding than the Orcs I know about) So being able to create something on my own for those could be a fun interesting way to start off the hobby before I start getting more invested.
tldr: Great video, as are all of yours, and the most important bit is between the **s
Death guard all the best factions can't wait to see what they look like painted do you remember the the original Terminator box cover orange with a black and white decor on the power fist
I remember the green plague marine box. I’ll have to look for the other one, could make for a fun scheme :)
Cool plague Marines
May be try warmachine they got some nice models dont no if you sin them cool game like a war band like game made by privateer press😉
I was able to find videos of Jeremy's (Black Magic Crafts) Death Guard army but do you have any links to Trent's (miscast) army with all the conversions?
Type in "Nurgle Diaries" into the search and you'll get all of Trent's Nurgle stuff, there's a playlist as well that should come up in the first 10 spots at least.
He called out all 25 people who disliked lmao
And I’d do it again 😆
I'm gonna be honest blight kings cost more then death guard I'd like to see you make death guard into putrid blight
kings
Yeah the whole thing really only makes sense if you happen to have left over blightkings, or you get some for super cheap on eBay. If I were to do this again I’d be 1000% making blighlord terminators instead. The size makes more sense, as well as the base size.
Would love to do this, but I just started out so I don't have any bits! Just Dark Imperium and Start Collecting Chaos Space Marines
It can be hard at first without extra bits, but there are several large bits dealers on eBay, usually pretty cheap too. I like to browse and just buy bits sometimes, never know when you might need something cool :)
a lot of FB groups too. there are a few guys that sell by weight and it's often a good deal if you arent after specifics
Nice work bro!! Where did you buy that roller?
Thanks man! I got it on eBay, but Greenstuff World sells it on their website too.
Love it!
Trent❤️
ok ive wanted to do this but into blight lord terminators
I feel pretty much anything is ok to do with Deathguard. Just don't glue hamburger meat to a model. Yes, that happened at my local game store years ago.
Haha, hamburger meat. It’s nurgle, but taking it over the line just a little bit.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues yeah. I didn't experience it personally, but I was told it got to rotting and the guy tried to play a game with them and everyone starting retching.
How would I get ahold of you about doin something for me ? And I loved this video honestly it was amazing too see another aspect of the hobby it's been awhile since I've seen you do a little conversion I wanna say it's been since the celestine rescue
Yeah it’s been a while! I’m glad
You enjoyed the video man :)
Unfortunately commissions are closed right now, if you want to submit a request for later then I have some info and a form on my website ebayminiaturerescues.com
I’m not sure when they will be opened back up right now, but I appreciate it very much that you would want me to do some work for you.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues well I'm starting an deathwatch army for crusade and im grabbing some terminators from a buddy he says they been gathering dust and it would honestly be they best thing about the army if I could get them customed by you plus maybe they would a video which I would probably die lol but either way keep doing what you do man love the channel and the content !
That sounds like it would be pretty fun. If I had more time right now I’d be so down!
@@eBayMiniatureRescues well I'll be in the comments of every video so maybe you'll have the time eventually
Much appreciated man, I’m sure I will at some point :)
I love your channel and I appreciate all of the effort you put into making them look this good. But I've gotta admit that the rock music in the background is quite distracting when I'm trying to focus on what you're describing and demonstrating. Two voices at the same time is a bit much.
You’re probably right, I appreciate the feedback. Sometimes it seems to work fine, these ones I was a little worried about the vocals being a bit too much.
Now....paint them....NOW!!!
Lol, very soon! I really want to get some paint down. Should be fun :)
Just curious when you script these vids if you have given a name to the character that always interrupts you by poking his head inside the door?
Haha, still don’t have a name, interrupting nerd Casey is probably a good fit though.
Your alter ego is named Inc?
Snipping and cutting is tight
Yeah, they are good, but the main problem for me, when people do 40k convertions out of AoS minis, that they are leaving this leather boots on them. It's ruining all for me
Makes sense, there are a handful of blightkings that have armor all the way down, maybe it’s more of a model choice for that aesthetic. Pick the ones in full armor. In this case, I’m workin with what I’ve got, so I can’t be too picky about the leather, but I totally see your point :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues i'm also doing 40k nurgle models from blightkings. Blightlord terminators, to be precise. And where there were boots, I just cut them off and replaced with 30k terminator legs
Nice, bringing all the games together too.
Fucking oath man trents army is insane
Right? He’s doing some insane work on that army!
but plague marines on 32mm bases, and magotkin on 40mm.
40k
I like to let my conversions carry the shitty paint jobs i give lol
Lol at the Neckbeard....without a neckbeard??! still?!? 2 thumbs down!!
Great stuff btw!
Haha, thanks!
They look awful ... just like any nurgle blight death putrid thing should. Loving the new studio and personality in the videos. Now stop playing with your toys and slap some paint on them!
Haha, yeah I gotta get some paint down...very soon!
What a tragic waste of Putrid Blightkings models!
I suppose it depends. I got a set of blightkings for somewhere around $20 on ebay. Bits weren’t too expensive, you could spend another $10/15 if you wanted to just get weapons and heads. A box of 7 plague marines from GW is $50. So for less then that you get a unique death guard unit and probably had way more fun putting them together and painting. On the other hand you could find used plague marines and they might be the same price or less. But then they would just be plague marines like everyone else has. It’s all about your personal hobby, so whatever is best for you makes sense.
That being said, I don’t even play 40K, so my 5 man blightkings squad is now down by 1 lol. Gonna have to get more on eBay to make a proper warband!
I think you really deserve like/dislike 1:2 ratio.
