It is I, Cato Sicarius, former captain of the Ultramarines 2nd Company and current commander of the Victrix Honour Guard, Master of the Watch, Knight Champion of Macragge, Grand Duke of Talassar and High Suzerain of Ultramar, and I say that you have made me, Cato Sicarius, look as magnificent as I, Cato Sicarius, always should have been. Very much well done.
your paint jobs look incredible. each model you kitbash should have a part 2 where you paint it. A different beast entirely for recording im aware but we'd watch it
Its rare to find a channel dedicated to kitbashes, that has *good* kitbashes of consistent quality AND has really nice paintjobs to boot. Please keep it up
Very nice, I would never have considered using these parts. It really works. I would love to see your take on some of the only inquisitor models, covenant etc
Both the paintjob and the conversion are excellent. Initially I was a little skeptical about the left arm - thinking it was a bit high and the gun wasn't straight - but actually it gives it a more aggressive 'gangster' look that fits the character quite well. I can imagine him shouting 'BRAP BRAP' every time he takes a shot.
How else is he going to represent? (Do the kids still say that?🤣) It took me a lot of fiddling to actually get the arm in a position I was OK with, not happy, but OK haha. Thank you. 😊
Very well done! I appreciate the fact that you do not use any greenstuff (or equivalent), but rather stick to existing plastic parts. With no sculpting required, it makes things easier if anyone wants to replicate, or if one is not very used to sculpting.
I have dabbled with sculpting I do feel it is important to try a learn, however, I like to think of the phrase 'there is an app for that', but it's 'there is a bit for that' for us kitbashers haha. Thank you. :)
The "Tassle" is an Aiguillette, something from modern and historic military uniforms that distinguish special and senior appointments, such as: Army officers of General or naval officers of Flag rank. Chief of Army, Admiral in the Navy etc.

Wonderful Sicarius, he looks just like the cover of the omnibus book! If you ever feel like it, I'd love to see your take on Vorth Mordrak from the Grey Knights.
I did include the painting on my last video, however, the additional time taken was causing the video to be of a lower standard imho, so until I can put something out I am happy with, I will stick to this format. I do actually record the painting, so there is a potential for a separate video in some form. Thank you 😁
It has been a while since I got to see one of your kitbashes. I like it a lot. It is he, Cato Sicarious, the captain of the fabled 2nd company of glorious Ultramarines that he, Cato Sicarius is the greatest hero of! Or something like that. I have to say the belt was a great shout, although cleaning it up had to be nerve-racking. I would probably not think about it and that is what makes your kitbashes such great learning opportunities. Also... Malakim Phoros maybe? during the trial of Gabriel Sett he shows up, confirming that he survived not only warp ship getting blown up but also the cold emptiness of space. Somehow. And even had the time to be on the trial while on penitent crusade.
Any part that I have to shave/smooth down is a part I am most worried about, peobably more so than parts I cut I would say. So, yes, very nerve-wracking. I just make sure to take my time. Measure twice, cut once. haha! Malakim is on the to-do list. Thank you for the kind words.
@WePaintMinis np I been thinking using a bt neophyte as a base and a shoty as the base for the sniper he holds but definitely will wait in anticipation for yours you tend to have better ideas with the ultramarine looks
@@WePaintMinis Not just that. Such cool looking Minis deserve to be produced! I really want this Sicarius in my Army! :D I have the old Fine Cast Sicarius, but this Primars Conversion would be an amazing upgrade! :D
Pete the Wargamer did Lias recently, but totally up for trying a different take on hims thats for sure. Thanks for the suggestion, he wasn't on the list. :)
The boys in blue rarely catch my eye* - this is a kracking conversion tho mate, well done ⚡⚡ I love primaris conversions, anything that gives them personality and breaks up that sameyness is great to see - liked and subbed, keep it up! Great paint job too! *Know no Fear is still one of my fav warhammer novels 🙃
I absolutely love doing these Conversions, I have done a total of 7 on here now, and I hope my enjoyment shows. There is always room for improvement on any model, so the fact we can try to do that as Miniature hobbyists, is great. Thank you for the kind words.
Awesome kitbash as always! Your video inspired me to kitbash my own Pedro Kantor. For a suggestion, I actually had something fairly simple: A Tome Keepers Ancient. I’m totally not planning on using this to kitbash my own for my Tome Keepers army. Nope, not at all.
@@TheThewhatnow I don't use either, I think thr glossy look comes from the flesh tearers red contrast paint wash I do after the glazing. I have the recipe at home, happy to share when I get back.
Beautiful work! GW will need to step their game up to beat this! Btw the shoulder rope things are called aiguillettes, it’s funny how military traditions apparently survived 40 thousand years haha. I’m terrified for your thumbs though, I use a rubber thimble from a discount shop when cutting with my hobby knife to protect my thumb!
My thumbs have suffered and funnily enough, I do believe I have a rubber thimble and never thought to use it. Great idea. Thank you for letting me know what they are called, better than dangly rope thing. Thank you for the kind words too! 😊
Nice job, Sicarius isn't one of my favorite characters but that paint job looks fantastic. I'd love to see your take on Anval Thawn the last perpetual and immortal grey knight.
I Don't know how hard it is to record the painting process but damn i'd love to watch it. Your paintjob is really close to the box art and look stellar. Keep up the great work!
There is a very high chance I will include the painting at some point. I want to nail the conversion part of the videos first and when I get to the position of having more time, I will add the painting. Its definitely on the cards though. Thank you for the kind words 😊
This looks absolutely amazing! I'd love to see your take on some different Iron Hands minis. Stuff like 30k standard legionnaires, First Captain Gabriel Santar or a 30k Techmarine.
Would love to see some primaris-sized regular robed Dark Angel Marines (kitbashed from Inner Circle Companions and old DA Veterans/Fallen kit) Planning to do a DA successor where all Marines are robed, similar to Guardians of the Covenant
Really love these videos they led me to start doing kitbashing myself. Really wish GW would put out some bits and pieces kits that are cheaper for conversions. The price to buy a kit to cut up and potentially mess up is the only thing holding me back
It is a daunting thing that is for sure and I would completely understand folks reluctance because of that. I am glad I inspired you to try kitbashing out though and I owuld love to see you work.
@@spuriusligustinus4509 They do indeed. I have used some before when I have been desperate or just need one small thing. There are som good ways to get bits (Hatchett Partworks Magazine), but it take a while to make it's way over seas.
Just a little criticism about the pistol. It's not in line with his arm and looks kind of weird because recoil would throw it off, if that makes any sense. But everything else looks awesome!
I get what you mean. I am not 100% happy with the gun/arm itself either. I actually adjusted it a few times before settling on this as the best way at the time. Thank you 😁
Master of forge on bike...or a techmarine on bike with a full servoharness like the thunder fire cannon techmarine two guns above the power pack and two servo arms out to the side. That would be really cool. Or using the new terminator model make a master of the forge with full servo harness
I don't love ultramarines usually, but am am warming up to them and this video has done wonders for my motivation to try some, such great production value and kit bashing, love the honesty about mistakes too. great channel. happy new subscriber
Ultramarines get a lot of stick for various reasons and I do get it, but some of there stuff is very cool. I am happy I motivated you, that's the best outcome for any of my videos. I really do feel it's important to point out the mistakes, because things go wrong or you change your mind and that is OK. Thank you for the kind words and your support, more importantly, Welcome!
Yeah! I have a ton of primaris, mini marines and primaris to use for a BT army, and I like the idea of chopping and changing all over the place as a crusade makes use of, and honours, old equipment with the new
This is a slightly specific suggestion - I see Tycho is on the list, but I kinda wanted to add another interpretation of Tycho here. A non-zero amount of people, myself included, are hoping this guy gets remade as a named dreadnaught for Blood Angels, and I 50/50 Tycho the Golden and Tycho the Lost scheme could look fantastic for something like that! The parts could likely be sourced from the Brutalis kit and the Furioso kit, if I had to guess. Also, can't forget Huron Blackheart!
I Cato Sicarius shall be known to the galaxy as Cato Sicarius the greatest Cato Sicarius of epicness and pure power of the emperor Cato Sicarius the bestest most amazingness Cato Sicarius…
That is ace! Really clever use of bits and superbly executed! The best conversions are always when you can’t tell it’s a kitbash and looks like a sculpt. This is up there! 🤌
I find it very satisfying if I manage to find a bit that works for the job in question, from what I already own or what is available. Makes it a little bit more accessible to others. Thank you for the kind words.
I'm not sure if it's just my headcannon or actual lore but the way I understand it Space Marines mix and match armor parts (At least back in the heresy), due to shortages or simply to suit the needs of that armor, so any armor mark "discrepancies" are lore accurate!
I, CATO SICARIUS, would cost about 200£ in total. Thats enough to get a pretty sizable custodes army but I, CATO SICARIUS, IS WORTH 10X MORE THAN THOSE DISPICABLE BANANA BOYS IN THE EYES OF THE EMPEROR
Haha, custodes pale in comparison to Cato Sicarius. My kitbashes can seem a little expensive at times, however a lot of hobbyists have these kits anyway. There are so many alternative ways to make your own Cato too. Thank you 😁
@@WePaintMinis they are, but I prefer to keep that mk3 crest for some random sergeant for my Um, but thanks, wanted to buy fafnir to make some kitbashing tutorials to make Cooler Chapter specific sergeants/Characters mainly for his axes,but now I have some other uses for the body and my Honor Guard needs Cato in full glory
@@WePaintMinis indeed, but probably I’m gonna start with dark angels, the Inner Circle Companions are perfect to be Sergeants with the robes, or Lieutenants, just put other arms and boom, robed Hellblaster sergeant, robed intercessor sergeant etc..
@@WePaintMinis That's really hard to choose, honestly. If I had to pick one over the other, it'd probably be Lord Regent Casan Sabius. I need a proper leader for my Scorpions but I don't have the creative mind to figure out a way to Primaris-ify him. I'm still really sad they stopped selling all the Red Scorpion characters.
@@shadewolfe3131 I have them both in the list now, however it's interesting to know so that if I choose to do one, atleast it is one that you would most like to see first. 😁
It's helps make the cut a little more straight as they piece isn't wobbling about as much. Also stops and damage to the surface undeneath as well stops the pieces from pinging away into the void haha. Thank you 😁
Speaking of striving for perfection what about kit bashing some primaris and stormcast parts to make one of the third legion perfecti now grown larger and more beautiful as a champion of Slaansh.
It's always there in some shape or form. It's like when you get to that 'ugly stage' of painting, but it starts at the begining and ends when you finish.😅
I based the model with Macragge Blue, did a glaze of 1:1 Nightlords Blue and Black into the shadows, then a 1:1 Kantor blue and black as a recess shade. 1:1 Macragge Blue and clagar blue chunky highlight with a calgar blue edge highlight. Thank you. :)

@@MasterDrippage I hope you like it. The video is a little janky as it was my first one back for a few years.
That is ace! Really clever use of bits and superbly executed!
The best conversions are always when you can’t tell it’s a kitbash and looks like a sculpt. This is up there! 🤌
I find it very satisfying if I manage to find a bit that works for the job in question, from what I already own or what is available. Makes it a little bit more accessible to others. Thank you for the kind words.
This is perfection, don’t worry!
Thank you, very kind of you to say glad you like it. 😁
For your next conversion, you should do Sammael as Belial and Asmodai have already received their Primaris Upgrades!
He is on the list for sure!
Wonderful job! Excited to see your conversions going bigger and bigger with the channel!
Thank you, I am really enjoying the whole process.
I'm not sure if it's just my headcannon or actual lore but the way I understand it Space Marines mix and match armor parts (At least back in the heresy), due to shortages or simply to suit the needs of that armor, so any armor mark "discrepancies" are lore accurate!
We will go with that. Makes me feel better haha 😄
So good!
Thank you so much. 😊
I think mine is better, but you achieved a major big score with Fafnir's pteruges: I've learnt something new and I thank you.
You are totally free to like whichever one you like. I would love to see it. Thank you
To think about it, it's incredibly, I mean INCREDIBLY weird that out of all their characters they didn't turn Cato into a primaris.
It is odd, I think they tried to placate the fans with the Ventris model. However, never say never.
I, CATO SICARIUS, would cost about 200£ in total. Thats enough to get a pretty sizable custodes army but I, CATO SICARIUS, IS WORTH 10X MORE THAN THOSE DISPICABLE BANANA BOYS IN THE EYES OF THE EMPEROR
Haha, custodes pale in comparison to Cato Sicarius. My kitbashes can seem a little expensive at times, however a lot of hobbyists have these kits anyway. There are so many alternative ways to make your own Cato too. Thank you 😁
amazing!
Thank you so much, glad you like it :)
stunning paint job. is this paint brush or airbrush? has to be the smoothest transitions ive ever seen...
Thank you. It's all with a brush. I think the lighting makes it look smoother than it is. 😁
Lovely conversion, but why don’t use the Mark 7 crested helm from the Ultramarines(firstborn)upgrade? Seems easier
Mainly because I couldn't get hold of it. Plus these bits are a bit better scuplted imho. Thank you. :)
@@WePaintMinis they are, but I prefer to keep that mk3 crest for some random sergeant for my Um, but thanks, wanted to buy fafnir to make some kitbashing tutorials to make Cooler Chapter specific sergeants/Characters mainly for his axes,but now I have some other uses for the body and my Honor Guard needs Cato in full glory
@@MyAlessandro1995 I have 4 of the crest currently, so I have a little bit of flexibility as to where I use them. The Fafnir model is great for bits.
@@WePaintMinis indeed, but probably I’m gonna start with dark angels, the Inner Circle Companions are perfect to be Sergeants with the robes, or Lieutenants, just put other arms and boom, robed Hellblaster sergeant, robed intercessor sergeant etc..
@@MyAlessandro1995 sounds awesome
Some primaris Sanguinary Guard would be pretty cool
I will add that to the list, great idea.
Any love for imperial fist conversions?
Soon for sure 😉
I dont see it on the list but I think it'd be awesome to see Casan Sabius and Sirae Karagon cross the Rubicon.
Great call, some more Red Scopions love. Added them both to the list. Which one would you prefer?
@@WePaintMinis That's really hard to choose, honestly. If I had to pick one over the other, it'd probably be Lord Regent Casan Sabius. I need a proper leader for my Scorpions but I don't have the creative mind to figure out a way to Primaris-ify him.
I'm still really sad they stopped selling all the Red Scorpion characters.
@@shadewolfe3131 I have them both in the list now, however it's interesting to know so that if I choose to do one, atleast it is one that you would most like to see first. 😁
@@WePaintMinis I'm looking forward to waiting many many months to see it! Haha
@@shadewolfe3131 if things go well for the channel, you never know, it might be sooner. Well I hope its sooner. 😅
Very nicely done mate 🇦🇺👍🏻
Thank you so much, Chris. I appreacite it.
Amazing conversion, you've done a great job :D
But, what is the purpose of the blutack with the plasma pistol?
It's helps make the cut a little more straight as they piece isn't wobbling about as much. Also stops and damage to the surface undeneath as well stops the pieces from pinging away into the void haha. Thank you 😁
Speaking of striving for perfection what about kit bashing some primaris and stormcast parts to make one of the third legion perfecti now grown larger and more beautiful as a champion of Slaansh.
Great idea, I have some Slaanesh ideas mulling over in my brain.
The thicker trim on the pistol arm is cos the armour is heavier to protect from any overheats when discharging his plasma pistol. Mhmm. Yep. 😂👍
I like that reasoning. We will go with that. 🤣😂
This is amazing, the conversion and that paintjob, are you a retired 'eavy metal painter?
I am not no, never worked for GW. 😅 Just taught myself over the years. Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot.
Please next kit bash can you do a dark angels character like Balthasar or Ezekiel or maybe someone else
I have done an Ezekiel kitbash on my channel. Check it out! :)
@@WePaintMinis Balthasar then?? 😁
@@unsilencedchaos2112 I will add him to the list for you :)
I haven't put together my models yet and sitll don't know wtf I'm doing, but I can still feel the anxiety somehow.
It's always there in some shape or form. It's like when you get to that 'ugly stage' of painting, but it starts at the begining and ends when you finish.😅
This is divine. What is your paint recipe for the blue armour?
I based the model with Macragge Blue, did a glaze of 1:1 Nightlords Blue and Black into the shadows, then a 1:1 Kantor blue and black as a recess shade. 1:1 Macragge Blue and clagar blue chunky highlight with a calgar blue edge highlight. Thank you. :)
@@WePaintMinis You lost me at 'glaze', but thank you very much 😂
@@vijayhare3787 you could use Drakenhoff Nightshade as a wash instead. No worries 😁
