GSC seems to be a good option for rules, especially if you’re using a lot of GSC bits as a base for the conversion. Chaos is another obvious choice, and I’ve seen a blog with someone doing Skaven Admech which worked surprisingly well too.
What's great is how in the Old World lore most mortals didn't even believe the Skaven existed, but yet they did. Now the same thing can be said about the 40,000 millennia. Love it, thanks for sharing.
That's a cool looking mini. I made a squad of Space Rats by using a box of Stormvermin and leftover, less-human hands from the Neophyte and Acolyte Hybrid kits. The clawed hands really fit the Skaven aesthetic, and it is generally a quick and easy conversion. That paint job you've given your rat-boy is really cool and grim-dark.
I started making my own space skaven based on your video and it looks great, however it isn't very financially friendly. Making a full combat patrol of CheeseStealers will need many many acolyte kits. Still, great video and thanks for the inspiration.
Love your vids. Conversions were always my favourite part of the hobby: smashing together WHFB and 40k kits was something I did a bit of: Chaos Warriors and Chaos Space Marines... it was meant to be! I think Eldar is definitely a good source of video content for you. There’s the aspect warriors which could use updating, as well as old factions like Corsairs and Exodites, and new like Ynnari (making them more unified rather that just Dark and Craftworlds models just mixed up with a similar colour scheme)
For a video idea why not a Space Seraphon? Maybe using Tao parts to add a clean yet still religious-esque style to them (maybe using the bloodbowl seraphon figure because the regular ones are a bit outdated)
The December 2019 issue of White Dwarf has some Seraphon which have been converted with some necron parts to give them some extra future tech stuff, which is definitely worth the look :)
I recently saw the Warhammer mourngul figure (on forge world) for the first time and thought it would be an awesome conversion to a c'tan nightbringer. Happy new year dude.
I have to say, it would be amazing if you did conversions similar to your plastic biovore for the various Skaven Weapon Teams and Skryre Acolytes. The models are ancient and mainly metal or fine cast.
I remember yesterday thinking, huh, I should buy some skaven and use the genestealers cultists for clawed hands to make some space rat Boiz, and lo and behold you have a video on doing just that
Funny, one of the 40k original lore videos just made something called "Kreigers clear the Rats Nest" which a lot of people were apparently hoping were Kreigers fighting Space Skaven. Good timing!
Great job on this one! Love to see that you want to convert some xenos! An idea I have had for a while is that Necrons are based on dynasties, but the GW range seems to go around an ancient egyptian style. However, the term "dynasties" is much wider than that! Imagine ancient civilizations like Aztecs kind of style added to the necrons! That would be awesome to see, and a fun challenge as well Keep up with the good job mate!
Mantic Veer-myn (and Ratkin) just work really well as a Rat Mutant Cult. Ratkin actually work great as Oldschool Skaven for Warhammer Fantasy, The 9th Age, etc, as well.
Space Skaven: 7pts. M7 WS2 BS3 S3 T3 W1 A2 Ld6 Sv4+ Squads of up to 25. Special rule "clanpestine", can opt to ignore morale if>10 models in unit, but must stand still next turn if they opt to do this, all take auto guns. Three in ten can any of heavy assault flamer(+6pts). Lascanon(+15pts). Heavy bolter(+5pts). Grenade launcher(+3pts). Can can upgrade further 1in 10 Censor Bearer(+20pts). Warp Stone Miasma causes D3 mortal wounds in shooting phase. On a D3 of a natual 6 the Skaven also take a mortal wound. RANGE 8 inches.
Nice thought! Since GW has no rules for Space Skaven, one might use those minis simply as Chaos Cultists of a Death Guard army. I'd love too see GW catch this on an put 'em in just like the Tzaangor....
i would like to think that these space skaven are chaos-tainted ratmen from the imperium. not sure about alinement, but if i had to guess, perhaps like a separate army of chaos undivided like the black legion and word bearers (along with their offshoot warbands)
Could you do a skitarii skaven. They are quite intriguing an fun as minis (in my opinion at least) an they would also fit clan skryre as soldiers (globe bombardiers I think, not that sure) as they are hard to find and expensive models.
Well, since you are asking for ideas: Ork: "our boss found a humi stompa and made it into his power armor" Tau: turn the weeb level to 250% und make a battle suit samurai Fantasy Chaos: a Gor chaos champion (a Nurgle one might be fun) Guardsmen: Regiment from a feudal world. Alternatively: a space marine chapter or an order of sisters of battle from a feudal world. Fantasy revamp: Dogs of War - Paymaster, just to have something that is completely our of left field. 40K in general: a rogue trader
I'd love to see a necron conversion. Maybe a flayed one lord, like Sahtah the Enfleshed, or Valgûl the Fallen Lord. Both of them are interesting enough characters to warrant a model imo

40K Skaven releases when, GW? I would buy them all, yes-yes.
I'm sure AoS skaven players would really like new sculpts. Plastic kits would also make Acolytes a valid choice, which it currently is not.
Inquisitor:"For the last time governor! The Space Vermin don't exist!"
Inquisitor later on his ship:"Exterminutus Now!.... no one can ever know..."
Skaven just seem to fit the 40k universe IMO. Huge overpopulated, futuristic cities should include large mutated, plagued rats
TBH I just kinda assumed if they existed in 40k, they'd be found at the lowest levels of hive-worlds, where mutants are plentiful.
@@CesarTheKingVA They used to as the Hrud, then GW threw them out with the Squats.... So maybe they can return?
Seems obvious now you point it out
@@CesarTheKingVA No-No. There are no Rat-Skaven under Man-Things Hive Cities.
In 40k, the Imperium are the Skaven
This is such a good conversion. Also I want to collect Skaven now.
I'm just imagining how funny it'd be to hear a marine shouting at his brothers to: "TARGET THAT RATLING GUN!"
I would say use the Genestealer Cult for their rules too. This is an Amazing conversion and the Paint Job made it sing.
Why did you capitalize so many words.....?(im not trying to offend you or anything im just curious)

Just a tip I figured out while doing this for myself, instead of a green stuff roller for the tail, you can just use a fine tooth comb.
I honestly love this idea, makes me want a space skaven race for real :D
I was contemplating how best to tackle such a project using GW kits just this morning and here it is. Thanks for doing the hard part
Fantastic! I play Space Skaven as Admech aka Squeetarii
Great horned rat is pleased, yes-yes! Pete-thing pleases the great horned rat in breaking into this reality.
One of my favorite conversion youve made.
Im curious if you could make a Lizardmen into the 40k universe too!

This is amazing! Well done, you should be incredibly proud of this! I love how this model looks and the paintwork is the icing on the cake
This awesome video demands a painting guide. Brilliant job, easily the best/most thematic kit-bash I’ve seen.
I liked this faster than I could snort a line of warpstone
Would love to see more from Fantasy/Aos be converted
Video of the year! Thank you Pete.
Now that is wild looking! It looks great Pete and the painting is excellent. Thanks for sharing this cool conversion.

For a video idea why not a Space Seraphon? Maybe using Tao parts to add a clean yet still religious-esque style to them (maybe using the bloodbowl seraphon figure because the regular ones are a bit outdated)
Supposedly GW used to suggest you use lizardmen models in 40k as descendants of the old ones

Budget tip, if you dont want to give greenstuff world your money, you can pick up a cheap set of combs to use as tentacle/conduit roller instead.

These used to be a thing back on the early RT and 40k. I know there was at least a couple orkstealers models
Would love a tutorial for the rust effects. What did you use to get such nice uniformity? It looks perfect for light surface rust.
That's awesome. I'm tempted to start a coalition army consisting of solely cultists. You are an inspiration.
i'm definitly gonna try something like this, looks so cool
Well, Grimdark Future have a Skaven-like army list, so the conversion is totally legal, don´t worry.
Mantic Games Veer-Myn are pretty amazing as a w40k skaven
I kind of want you to do a 40k version of Gortrek and Felix
Really nice work. Rat Ogres kitbashed from Catachan Ogryns could work really nicely too!
done a few of those myself, i liked converting the lead infantry armed with Jezzail's into plasma rifles. also used greenstuff to add gas masks
Just thinking how awesome/funny it would be to deploy a 40k version of the big vermin lord. Personally I'd love to see a 40k mega gargant
This is a great paintjob!

Ah this is amazing. Nicely done. Also if GW released Skaven for 40k I'd snatch them up!
