Well done sir! I like the Norn/Tyrant hybrid chest piece you used. Suits the Swarmlord well, and brings out the specialness in him. 😉 I just recently magnetized mine to be a Flying and ground Tyrant. Counter sunk the magnets and even the hip, so all i really needed was a second 60mm base. All in all he has 15 magnets build into him, his torso is filled with Milliput. And with his large wings he is deffinitely going to be the heaviest model i have in my collection. I reckon when his base is finished, he weighs easily more than 2 Norns. I will weigh him in the future to see if my guess turns out to be true. ^^ Took me 6 hours so far, just the putty work, cleaning, glueing and magnetizing. Its work that deffinitely needs focus in order to not ruin your model, but i gotta say, a clean magnetization work is hands down one of the most satisfying things in the hobby! When you can repose him with all his arms and just the sound of the 6x3mm magnets snapping together, mmhh, so good! He is going to be my next painting project, and i m super excited to see him in all his glory at the end. It´ll probably take me 45+ more hours for the paintjob, but its going to be worth it. I already ordered more Tyrant Guard, to make sure he doest suffer from the new models syndrome too much. 😅
Dude this sounds amazing. Great work on that. Magnets are so much fun as well. Tricky to master but you are so right about that satisfying click 😂. I want to see this beastly beauty now.
@@morewarhammer Hi again, since you took 2 weeks to reply, he is now 70% done i´d say. 😀 I can post a link to a picture of him here, in this chat, once he is done if you actually want to take a look at him. If, i don´t forget.
@@morewarhammer Is IG instergram? If so, then yes. I will post him there, but i m not good with Instergram and do it very irregularly, so don´t expect your quality of edeting or anyting really. 😅 Its "zarokprime" icon is with a grey charakter.
@@morewarhammer What the hell!? I think my reply got delete or something... I asked you if IG is insterg, i m not spelling it out this time. If so, then yes, i´ll upload him there. But don´t expect the level of edeting you have, or anything really. 😅 I find taking pictures of minis rather difficult. My name is zarokprime.
My first thought for needing a base and having guard sprues was "what if you assembled the turret?" like, have him jumping onto the gun, which could act as a secondary support for the model itself as well as create that sensation of the big guy being mid-leap *onto* something.
@@morewarhammer It's definitely one of the base ideas that's sticking with me. I have a handful of flying SoBs, and rather than just give them normal bases with cork or texture paint, my thought has been "what if I grab that metric buttload of spears I have and have them flying over an enemy horde, firing down into it?" so the idea of using an enemy sprue to make a base a whole diorama has definitely been bouncing around in the noggin.
Just watched your Dark Angels unboxing from six months ago, random I know, but I enjoyed it that much I subscribed. Tyranids are my favourite army of which I have a few. Cheers, cracking stuff.
That turned out excellent! Kitbashing Marines isn't that hard since many pieces are compatible, but going for a creature like a Tyranid is a few steps higher and you nailed it.
Iv been 3d printing some of my own figures recently and found that the detail in 3rd party designed minis seems to be much better than official gw models.
@@morewarhammer I picked one up on gumtree for 80 quid and it has already paid for itself after printing a few warboss models and a bloodbowl team. Even for printing custom bases or objective markers, the possibilities are endless 🤣
My hobbying has taken a back foot atm maybe a little bit of fatigue but whenever i see a tyranid model so well done makes me want too grab a couple of the new nids and get painting.
Great video, would be even better if you put the paints used either in the description or in the corner as you do each step. A link for the etsy torso would be cool too but also understand that may not be possible as its a reseller and gw may not appreciate that
I can absolutely do that. That’s a great idea about the paints. I tried to like the original but I couldn’t find it. I think I might have purchased the last one now that I think about it.
About to realize how far 3d printing has come and how it can be better the GW. I've gotten greater deamons that look identical just in more dynamic poses for $30 instead of the outrageous $140.
Mann I love the pose! That came out really well! Milliput is water soluble too, so you can literally make it into a paste for gap filling or thin it to any consistency etc.
Yeah I would just get some silicone and cast the parts that you only have one of like you were saying with the torso so this way I could have all three at the same time and then I just have to decide which one I want to use instead of using magnets or modifying certain parts like the wings that the part that connects to the main body
Awesome pose and kitbash on the model dude! 🤙 Kitbashing is so good, makes the army more unique and personal! Although it’s going to be a shame when those Blood Angels carve that Swarm Lord up! 👀😎
Brother, you are beautiful. Also your paint job was badass, some things that are pretty fun to try In the future when it comes to basing. Try using cork that you can tear up and then cut with the hobby knife to make look like big rocks, and you can use the back end on your hobby knife to move miliput around to sculpt it to be rocks or blood or whatever youre looking for and also if you’re looking for a nice glue to help fill in gaps in any models you have look up how to make Spru goo.
@@morewarhammer with my nids he’s almost always in my army. I don’t often run unique characters in 40K but swarmlord is usually in there even when he’s had terrible rules
Just found your channel, very cool swarm lord. Like the idea of your Tyranid army in a year. Not sure how you painted so much so fast. Looks awesome though. Getting me motivated to do some of my Tyranids
Hey, MW! As already said in your more recent video, I promised to leave a comment (and share) every one of your video in exchange for a "hobbyist exercise regimen" video! As promised, here's the other one. Once again, sorry for being late! I'll try and be more careful next time.

Great to see more videos in this series!!
Thank you! I have been enjoying it so much. If there is anything you would like me to cover please let me know.
Cracking result! Great kit bash

I also majorly kitbashed my swarmlord with an elevated base and have him fighting amongst 3 spacemarines. Absolutely love the Swarmy!

@@guilegale8942 well I want to see this now 😂
👌🏻 conversions are awesome
I agree completely now. Do you do many yourself?
@@morewarhammer I do (or did), kitbashing heroes, monsters, unit champions and more. With the old world my drive to convert has been reignited! :D
@@lestrike2707I am very glad to hear that. 🤌🏻
6:45 that is the funniest looking head of a model I’ve ever seen 😂
Who designed this 😂😂😂
Definitely a good looking swarmlord and the pose is dynamic👍
Thank you! I was really happy with how it turned out. The tail just made it 🤌🏻
I would love to see someone create a beefed up swarm lord using one of the new Norn models as a base and then building from there
I did look at doing that but the parts just didn’t look right with the scale of the torso. I think a beefed up swarmlord would be amazing though.
Love a good kitbash! It turned out great! I can't wait to see the swarm in action!
It was a lot of fun. I can see what people enjoy it as well. Looking forward to throwing him into some combat soon.
Just watched your Dark Angels unboxing from six months ago, random I know, but I enjoyed it that much I subscribed. Tyranids are my favourite army of which I have a few. Cheers, cracking stuff.
Thank you for checking that one out too. I enjoyed that one. Nids have become my favourites now. Love playing with them.
That turned out excellent! Kitbashing Marines isn't that hard since many pieces are compatible, but going for a creature like a Tyranid is a few steps higher and you nailed it.
Thank you Etienne, yeah it’s tricky when it’s not a humanoid. The torso really impressed me.
Looks sick man. Truly a foe to be recond with. I want to crack on with my units again seeing this xD
yea want to get some more BA on the field and some nids on the side. Fight for Baal continues
Swarmzy looks amazing! Each Tyranids vid you do is making me more and more want to start one
I appreciate the use of his nickname haha 🤌🏻🤌🏻. They are honestly fast becoming my favourite
Absolutely love the colour scheme. Kinda gives me a jungle Xenomorph vibe and it’s awesome!
Honestly so glad I went that direction with them. So nice to look at on the board too.
Iv been 3d printing some of my own figures recently and found that the detail in 3rd party designed minis seems to be much better than official gw models.
The technology has taken a huge jump since I last looked at printing. I would like to get a 3D printer now.
@@morewarhammer I picked one up on gumtree for 80 quid and it has already paid for itself after printing a few warboss models and a bloodbowl team.

Admitting you have the plastic addictions is the first step...to buying MOOAAR! Great Vid.
You know it Lee 😂
Love it! Space bugs for the win!
Agreed 💪🏻
That came out great, May have to steal that idea in the future if I ever get around to Tyranids!
I was very impressed at the quality of the sculpt. I tried to find the one I got on Etsy so I could link it but I couldn’t see it.
Could you post the link for that torso in the description
I would love to build my own extra swarmlord
Yeah no problem I will get that into the description now. 🤌🏻
My hobbying has taken a back foot atm maybe a little bit of fatigue but whenever i see a tyranid model so well done makes me want too grab a couple of the new nids and get painting.

Looks sick dude

Fantastic use of the kit. You must be so pleased with how it came together.
Really appreciate you sharing your thought process at each stage.
Thank you so much. That came from you guys suggesting that I make the videos a bit longer. Thanks again & I hope you have a great weekend.
Great kitbash! Very imposing looking model. Much better than the standard pose too. Solid work 💪
Thank you kindly sir. You will face him at some stage as well 🤌🏻

Big ups from down under 🤙
What’s my down under brother. Thank you so much for the support. Appreciate you sticking around.
very cool, also a nice colour scheme, what hive fleet is it from?
It is just a custom one. I believe Matt from Miniwargaming made up a name for it.
You succesfully used the horror show that is Dark Angels Green?
I did. Is it a bit of a nightmare usually?
Noticed you’ve got a Devon picture behind you, what’s the relevance of that? From a local Devonian
My family is from there, my dad’s side. My wife and I got married there too.
Awesome vid man, first thing I did after watching this was order a swarmlord body from Etsy😅
You have been influenced Seb 👀😂

😂 thanks man.
Its 2024, how are you not slapchopping??
Ohh I have been slapping. Did a lot of my other nids using it but it felt redundant after a few models.
the onlything bothersome about this video is you sitting at the table your face half cut off lol
I know 😂. That was annoying me in the edit.
