Ugh yeah... I don't want to think about how much this squad actually cost me. Over $100 was both a estimate, and a form of self-deception. I have been picking up random EC bits and pieces from Egghead miniatures over the past 2 years though so at least the total cost was spread out over a little while. Still brutal tough.
@@AmnioticlyTanked For some of the forgeworld bodies & heads something similar could be achieved with the use of infiltrator heads w/ green stuff tubing in the center grille on like devastator torsos..?
@@echlinryan for sure. Thats actually something I should try to sneak into my next video, didn't realize how heavily I leaned on forgeworld bodies on this one...
@@graveyardgxblin I know right?! It just comes down to very creative plastic bit usage and 3rd party resin bits across the pond. Along with some *cough* *cough* cheaper alternitives.
Hearing your costs and seeing the final result, i just HAD to confirm that i was subbed and liked, and am sending a comment for the algorithm! Amazing work with the bits and variety!
These look great! As someone who's recently fallen in love with the Emperor's Children its fantastic to see some lovely kitbashes! Shame we wont be getting new 40k Emperor's Children stuff until late 10th edition... Still, amazing job with these guys! Makes me want to start a kill team of my own now!
Appreciate it! I have always had a soft spot for the IIIrd legion but don't love the single 40k upgrade kit we get for them. Hopefully with the World Eaters getting some love soon it shows that GW is committed to getting out a codex and full model line for each of the god-specific legions in 40k, but I fear you might be right that is will not be for some time. I highly suggest you try doing a kill team of your own though! I had been putting off doing some EC conversions for the longest time as I didn't want to do a full army of converted dudes, but I found that a KT was the perfect size to have some fun and not get bored.
@@AmnioticlyTanked I’ll most likely start a kill team with some messed up Noise Marines, since I like the idea of a group of depraved marines adventuring on to find new pleasures. Speaking of pleasures, I’m excited to see you paint up your own batch of the 3rd legion, since most EC paint jobs are either early Heresy or well into 40K.
@@AmnioticlyTanked I personally think you have struck the perfect balance between pre traitor and post 30k full on slaaneshi tainted! AND! You've also balanced using super old, not so old, and new parts. Looks like you picked some of the best bits for both! I really like what you've done with the tentacle arm on the sarge. I've always loved that arm but always struggled to imagine how to use it effectively, but now you have shown me the way! I'd love to see what you can do if you were to make some EC bikes or jump infantry! I have a whole bunch of the old metal Raptor mini's. And I have an vision of using their torso's and potentially a chopped and changed version of their legs, to make some really gnarly looking EC bikers! Sadly I think I'm going to have to sell the Raptors though.
Slaves to Darkness was an excellent book. People don’t appreciate how it was one of the first steps in settling the lore after Rogue Trader (which was a essentially a rough draft).
Ugh I feel you. Its an expensive hobby and it has its claws deep into me. I am sure there are many other obsessions I could have that would be cheaper. What army are you thinking about doing for 30k?
@@AmnioticlyTanked I’m actually stuck on that- right now I’m on a four way split between emperors children, iron warriors, word bearers and night lords as all of them are awesome, but I want to run one (for now) any recommendations?
@@professorkhepri hmm thats a tough one. My first criteria for picking would be if I could think of any sick conversions that got me excited and then just roll with that. So any kit bashes or conversions you would want to do for any of those 4?
@@AmnioticlyTanked I’ve been eying a third party praetor I was thinking of giving a hammer or a chain spear, and the newer beaky marines definitely have a good amount of poses for big hammers/chain spears so I think that narrows it down to two- which should help allot, thank you!
(I’ve decided to run a shattered legion of nightlords and iron warriors since it fits into the little lore I have for my 40k warband, thank you again!!)
I really want to do a kill team squad or something for the Children - I'm thinking about having them be a warband that's obsessed with the glory days of the Legion - Trying to emulate the martial perfection they seem to remember.
Thanks my friend! Honestly I need to make time to paint these still... real life adulting has kept me away from my painting desk for quite a while now...
I almost added a "graphic content" warning to the beginning of my video for that reason. Luckily, its only an eidolon arm that I got from Egg Head Miniatures. So I didn't waste an entire Eidolon...
These are brilliant! But I struggled to understand what parts you used for the sonic blaster marines… specifically the narrow helmet. I rewound the video like 10 times with my ear pressed against the speaker 🤣
Cool conversion video, great to see you doing stuff for 40k related stuff as well like I suggested. I like the weird look to many of them like, the guy with the bulging eyes and the organic looking weapon. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks! And I definitely want to do more 40k stuff in the future. Im finding that Kill teams give me the perfect excuse to do a couple of really cool conversions, with out having to do an entire army.
Mate these are awesome. My guy I really dont care if you get ads or anything like that as your content is worth it also dont puch yourself and make a release schedule that suites you.
I really wish we could get a new version of that Chaos mutations sprue you showed off a bit from on the champion, I see them go up for sale every once in a while, but I think it would be nice to get some more mutated bits. The Annointed bits in the Killteam Legionaries box are nice, but I want more. That aside though, I see Slaanesh has come to try to tempt me away from Khorne again I see, I shall not give in this time! In all seriousness though, lovely conversions on these guys.
Great conversions man. I would say the video a week is great, but don't let it tax you too much. You post really high quality videos, so they would be worth the wait. Also Ungors you say... I have a box that I used the heads and some bits for an imperial guard abhuman kill team, I think I may have to steal that exposed torso idea.
I really appreciate that. I think going forward I am going to try to relax my posting schedule and just put content out when I am happy with what I have to share. And please steal away. Its a conversion that I dont think many people will actually see as its pretty minor, but it makes me happy that I was able to pull it off. And perhaps it will be more eye catching once painted.
Feel free to accept sponsorships ngl, they can be skipped super easily, add a little chapter indicator for the intro/ad to make that easier and you are golden
I find it hard to convert forgeworld stuff without feeling my wallet hurt. Luckly the 3D printer allows me to subsidise most of the parts which would usually break the bank. All that said, I do enjoy your unique little warpborn monstrosities. The "conversion commission" stuff to dodge the sponsorships is also super weird, not because I disagree with the approach, but because I tried to do the very same thing with a bunch of creators a few years ago. Almost everyone choose to not take my money to do a dream project of theirs, which was odd to say the least.
Bro don’t have that mentality about raid shadow legends. You’ll just be suffering for it for very little benefit. At this point it’s just the norm to take sponsors and people have developed their understanding enough to understand it’s you getting your paper to fund us content as opposed to “selling out.” ESP for a creator of your size. Everyone will actually support you for it cuz they’ll know it supports you buying more kits to bash, etc. Anyways nice work looking forward to the painted version of these. Maybe something with night lords in the future? ❤
Probably missed an opportunity to go with some house music or something... will need to fix that when I do my Emperors Children Lord video. And thank you!
Absolutely fantastic, however as an American when I see that much forge world in a conversion me and my wallet want to cry.

ngl the mark 6 shoulder plates look surprisingly good on the chaos marine bodies, very nicely done yo
Thank you. I'm really please with how they look as well, and they should provide a good surface to add some details once I get to painting as well!
These are some excellent kitbashes. The icon bearer is my favorite, adding the little rivets to the ribbons was a great touch.
Thank you! The rivets were a bit of a pain to do, but I think little details like that really elevate the conversions to another level.

Yes
So amazingly pleased with this video, these guys look utterly incredible - you brought justice to my favourite legion
Thank you! I think you'll like the next video I'll be putting out as well.
@@AmnioticlyTanked ...is it Lucius??
These are so spectacular! Your champion looks especially cool with his bare chest :)
I was hoping you would like this video!!!
Quite pissed I lost the footage of me converting the champion though....
Fantastic! I'm working on a fully converted EC heresy army with about 40 converted infantry to date
Thanks, and thats quite impressive. How big are you planning on growing the army?
Sweet looking squad! I can only imagine how fantastic they will look once all painted up and put on a gaming table.
Thanks! I am thinking about a purple metallic scheme for them, will need to do some experimenting though first.
Jesus Christ dude you’re sick. I need to see these painted. The green stuff cloth on your champ is incredible.

Excellent conversions but the BGM sounds like it came from a porn movie. 🤣😂🤣😆
These videos are so addictive, keep em up!!

I know right? The music, the presentation, the end results... it feels like a hobby night with the boys.
Cool conversions. Definitely thinking outside of the bits box.
Soft smooth jazz though is somewhat of an odd choice given what you're presenting.
