I love that you acknowledge how expensive a full custom army with several of these builds would be. So many video makers just throw together a "here's how to make X" without bracing people for the impact of actually needing dozens of infantry models in a guard army. And since you make heavy use of Stormtroopers, and, at the time of writing this, GW just increased the points of Kasrkin and dropped the price of Stormtroopers to the old price, I imagine a lot of meta chasers are going to be scooping up any boxes that are actually available. Oh well, maybe after they get their next nerf.
You would probably be best off going to a bit's seller or just biting the bullet and using 3d printed parts for a lot of these conversions while just buying a box for the torsos and maybe legs. Though I can't see any good way other than printing to get that many bane blade commander torsos and heads.
This video was amazing, but we are sending the Adeptus Arbites after you for that pronunciation of "commissars" 😂
Kom - me - ss - ar
I've heard that it's a trick which a number of smaller CZcamsrs have picked up on. Deliberately mispronounce words to get extra comments under the video (and therefor better engagement) from those commenting on the mispronunciation or simply just correcting the CZcamsr. He also is mispronouncing Catachan at 2:02, but hey the trick works - we are talking about it in the comments section.
@@ThreeCatProductions Hilariously, can pretty much confirm he did it for exactly that reason, cause he then pronounces commissar correctly almost immediately after at about 7:10 and 7:55.
@@ThreeCatProductions yes
He pronounces it correct twice so I think he did it intentionally to drive everyone crazy.
It's amazing how much heavy lifting the Scion and GSC kits do for all sorts of human kitbashes. I've tried kitbashing AdMech Skitarii torsos onto Cadian legs/arms with moderate success for a nice flowing overcoat style. What a great video for inspiration, thanks!
8 kitbashes in less than 12 minutes, this is good warhammer content.
Where is the 8 one?
That texture plate is from Greenstuff World, Texture Plate - Wolf Fur.
I saw the blue in the background and immediately clicked the video - I’ve been interested in making Volpones for ages but there is so little inspiration. Sad to see your conversion didn’t work out. My theory is that a mixture of freeguild bodies and arbites bits might work, still some 3D printed / 3rd party griffon shoulders etc might be needed though.
I know I've seen someone convert one in one of those 5 more guard regiment conversion videos, I think it was another of the tank commanders upper torso builds, it might even have been the whole tank commanders torso with some legs cut off above the boot or at the knee, unfortunately I can't find it with a quick search in my history and I don't remember what they used for arms legs or heads.
I have a squad of Tunnel Rats for Kill Team. I found using Ash Waste Nomad bodies with Skitarri Vanguard heads gave them a more grungy, "I've been wandering in the muck all day" kind of look, as well as focusing more on the heavy clothing/cloak element. Awesome to see them getting some attention.
the fact that 40k is so old but also has so much just NOT represented anymore really pushes me further and further into printing
For the Jopall I think TTS could be a good place for inspiration for their colors since one of their Bro Trip episodes focused on the regiment.
"Oh.. oh that I hate!" - Corvus Corax
Navis Breacher legs with mag-boots are one of the single best bits I've ever seen from GW, and it's heartbreaking that you can't just buy entire sprues of them. I'd do an entire Guard army in mag-boots if I could, or an entire Skitarii army.
Hey! Super well edited and entertaining. You don't really dwell on it, but your paint jobs are really knockout as well. Well done.
So this is an amazing video, because not only is it short. if it were long I would watch the whole thing
Finally, the jopall indentured squadrons gets a mention!!!
Love the use of the 1-2 -3 block
Your Harakoni Warhawks got me curious on what your take on the old pre-Kasrkin metal Stormtroopers would be! Would love to see a build for em because they are my fave version of Stormtroopers and getting em in metal is proving cost prohibitive!
All of them are so cool! I wish GW would explore some more of the unique worlds with official kits. There's so many good ones to choose from!
what a sweet vid! classic kitbashing, quick and consistent audio and video, beautiful production quality. NICE
So glad you came up in my recommendations! I really appreciate this style and effort
These were so well done! I think you’re on your way to be one of the biggest names in conversion/kitbashes. Excited to see what else you have in store!
Oh geez...now I kinda want to see a MMC inspired guard regiment thanks to that Expanse mention.
For the Kanak Skull takers you could also add some Ork skulls/bones/Ork weapons and misc bits from the Citadel skulls kit or any Ork kits to make them into the Armageddon Ork hunters, at least until GW makes some new Catachans (which doesn't seem to be anytime soon)
That Jopall Indentured is a solid idea and bloody well done that being honest i'm gonna nick and change into the rank and file of the Last Chancers.
Your sim racing channel helped get me started with building my own rig and getting into that. And now I stumble on you here for my other hobby! Fantastic!
Incredible work once again, the quality of this content is levels above the amount of views you are going. When the algorithm gets you this channel is going to explode!
Redcowls, def my fav. build of yours. Good video
Fantastic work! Love the creativity!
Very cool id love to see a part 2 with other regiments that might have a bit more complex techniques to get regiments like the vostroyan first born or Valhalla or talarn desert rangers.
They look great, but I really love the Redcowls.
I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WENT MY MAN, am I am so glad I found this channel, I enjoy these build just as much as your other channel content :D
Really great looking and coherent builds.
This man is on a crusade to mispronounce every name in 40k at least once while at the same time making it sound 10 times more British.
Good video, and well done!
Beautiful conversions!
Very Nice! Always love seeing how much you can do with some of the most basic infantry.
3:28 Maybe those new Darkoath infantry would make a good base for an army of Skulltakers?
If you are going to build any more obscure Guard Regiments, I'd like to see your take on the Finreht Highlanders. Definitely forgotten by GW.
I’d love to see more of these guard kitbashes especially ones like the volpone blue bloods (even if it didn’t quite work out) from the gaunts ghosts series
Legit need more of these videos and I’m commenting this before I’ve even watched it
YES YES YES more guard conversions please 😍❤
I watched for some inspiration, mission accomplished
Just gained a subscriber. Great job man.
The Epitome of Kill team play. Absolute cool, Absolutely!!!
Great video and I appreciated the stock toucan footage.
I’m not rewatching the expanse also 😊
Brilliant work
I reckon this'd be cool for an Inquisitorial Retinue proxy - different Guardsmen from all across the Imperium. And that way you only need one of each
This was such an enjoyable video to watch!! Would love to see you try and kitbash a Armageddon Steel Legion guardsmen I have no idea where to start lol :)
Love the spruegoo to smooth out the ridge GSC armour, Im making rough riders from atalan jackals so I'll be sure to steal your technique
This is great. Fantastic job. Now as to the blue blood build: I really want to do one- would be interested in your take.
I believe the texture plate at 3:00 is from Green Stuff World!
As one of the few Scion Regiment players, I approve of this video.
Also not explaining why i play guard, just wait till you realize Big E plays, Genestealers.
Man, The Expanse is so good
I’ve been wanting to paint some Jopall!
This was awesome. I'd love to see a part 2 of this video with either different regiments or continuation of your favorite ones from this video. I'm curious, if you did a second Harakoni Warhawk, how would you do the grav-chut they and the Elysian Drop Troopers are known for?
I am a relatively new subscriber and wanted to say thank you. Can you tell more more about the metal/magnetic frame you're using to hold your miniatures as you glue them together? These types if tools look incredibly useful and I would love to own one. Thanks again for these videos.
Excellent vid.
Awesome. Hope you try volpone again. I just used the solar auxili leman russ to make a volpone tank. Kit bashed the tank commander with a scion commander to make the volpone tank commander.
I love the redcowl that's just about perfect
Would love to see you do a Xenonian Free Company guardswoman. They are pretty obviously ment to be based on Necromunda Eschers, and thus propably something that could be pulled off at a larger scale even, realisitically. Also there are some very nice fan art renditions of the Xenonians on deviant art.
Nice conversions, for the 2nd one, can I suggest painting some sign on the bald head? It could add a tribal flavour to the mini , such an arrow or similar (think of Aang from Avatar)
I miss the good old Elysians minies :(
Brilliant!
If you ever do this again, id love to see you try your hamd at the Desert Foxes
"Cannon fodder superfriends" LOL, i love it..... you know... You could basically just run them as a 13th Penal Legion "Last Chancers" themed kill team....
Glad you did some guardsmen
Please make more of these
...great video...love lesser known Regiments (Chemdogs guy here)
Your assembly methods are Fu#&*ng BAFFLING though lol!
Regardless, excellent work 🤘
Love this!
i hope this series never stops, using only GW bits is great in a world where there's lots of third party/3d prints
I know a nearby downtown store that has a crate of trays of bits. Most of them are just bits spare limbs, heads, and small accessories. However, I found some interesting restocked kits in ziploc bags, which could be a squad of Space Marines, Tyranids, a special Necron, and whatever else is being resold at a discount.
Oooo very nice. Will we see some more unusual guard units in the future?!?
I love these kitbashes. Esp the tunnel dwellers
I would be shocked if the warhamner companies ask you to join them and heck those builds where good nice job
So I'm not sure what's all in scale with the current 40k kits, but I've seen a lot of fun kit-bashes using Fantasy/AoS parts, one of my favorites was giving the old free guild swordsmen modern guns. I could easily see using those and some tempestuous scions for torsos hands/weapons backpacks and modern boots but keep the lanchnect style sleeves pant legs and hats.
Shouldn't be too hard, considering how many 40k figures are in some form of traditional garb or wielding melee weapons.
So cool!
Also: So expensive! (For a few full squads)
Great video! Do you have a recommended brand of green stuff ?
For part 2 or 3 can you kitbash this 3rd edition imperial guard regiments
1 al-arach regiment guardsmen
2 wolverine regiment guardsmen
3 feral dogs guardsmen
4 kalistan Rifles guardsmen
5 nordian berzerkers guardsmen
6 desert foxes
7 remus regiment guardsmen
8 rasak bloodpools
Love me some kitbashing
Not bad at all
That said I’m sticking with KREIG, Scions, and Cadian kill team
Merci pour la video
Wait, you're telling me plastic catachans don't exist any more? I've been some 10 years out of any miniatures, but I remember a time when they were the first and only plastic guardsmen, and ubiquitous in any human kitbashing
You always make amazing videos and this one is no differn't but christ if you can't pronounce stuff right. Co-misser-s? Ka-tach-in? Christ man 😭😭😭
Nice to see people acknowledge the cost and viability of these builds. Feels very down to earth and relatable :)
Building warhawks is a weird one. They're effectively like the Elysian Drop Troops but stormtroopers. Looking at the Fantasy Flight RPG books for more modern images, I feel like anything but a scion head would fit alot better. Even the normal kasrkin head (with the breather filter bits chopped off for a more drop troop look) feels like it would fit better with their distinctive goggles. Adding grav chutes helps alot to.
the Royal Volpone as an army are allready pretty well accounted for with the normal scoins kit, with more fantasy based character models for special characters, and normal cadians for the normal infantry. Its an odd case.
You could maybe try using the new horus herasy Solar Auxilia for something differn't, or kitbash them with scions for something that strays away but is maybe more interesting than just blue scions tho.
Speaking of Gaunts ghosts custom regements, how about giving the Vitrian Dragoons a go if you ever do another video like this? Tehy seam like quite a ballache to convert with their glass scale armour. Think the auxillia VELETARIS Veletaris could be a good case if you can get the scale texturing down, with their slitted helmet visors?
that is a fur texture pad from Green Stuff World.
the texture plate comes from greenstuff world. I have the same one.
Any plans for making a Gue'vesa Guard Regiment?
Loving your videos; the tone and editing are spot on. Keep up the good work!
One minor observation - if you have time it would elevate the models even further if you drill out the gun barrels.
niceee
What about something with a solar auxiliary kit as the base? Or how about the cities of Sigmar kits?
in cas you want to make another round of these: i'd like to see some chem dogs
"low cost of Cadian Bits"
Oh wait, you're serious,
Hey! how and where can I get that glue and the green stuff?
Could you do the same but for chaos themed regiment's?
Undivided, khorne, nurgle, slaanesh, tzeench etc
Very cool video.🍻 I've always liked the aspect of removing details to have more variety in the bits box.👍 Any chance at taking a swing at making some Armageddon Ork Hunters?🤔 Subscribing now.
You missed the Option to use the Warhammer Heresy Solar Auxilia Kit.
You’ve been to the arbitorian school of pronouncing things different just to wind me up 😂
Great kitbashes tho
That might be the strangest way to say "commissar" i've ever heard
Can astra militarum have a snow camo?
Am i the only one who thinks that such cool things are suppoused to be like official, and not fanmade?
How’s your sprue goo so white?
Remember don’t mix up your mordians with mordants
How to make your expensive 40k army twice or 3 times more expensive , nice work though
why don't you try using necromudna kits next?
If only the plate armor of the scions didn't perpetually cause bad neck posture, I would have made my knight militia use vanguard heads.
Love the video but I can't help but to feel that not doing the Jopall indentured in their ridiculous colors is understandable if not a bit disappointing. Their ugly pajama style is part of their character.
