Given that we're also getting some Eldar Corsairs, it might be neat to see a similar kitbash using those and the Dark Elf Corsairs from Age of Sigmar. They're both pirates, after all.
I did just that with Kabalite warriors, its amazing how well they go together.
Why not just use Drukhari bits, they are pirates, i mean "The pirate lords of Commoragh" lol
I think a guide to making custom genestealer cults would be amazing! I hate how every cult is just miners and stuff, it would be amazing to see variations in designs!
I feel like using Necromunda stuff as a hive populace could be a good starting point. They'd also maybe work for custom Poxwalkers or Cultists for Chaos.
I've been thinking about a genestealer of aeldari for some time.
Like gsc heralds picked humans, but what if they wanted to assimilate Eldar or ork or summat
I've wanted to see a conversion of genestealer cults into chaos cultists, with possessed cult members taking the place of genestealers, beastmen abhumans taking the place of abberants and so on.
mixing the admech to make bladed cog gsc is way too easy. my acolytes have kataphron breacher arms instead of their rock cutters.
@Del S genestealers meet House Delacque. An underground union of subterfuge. Also, that flesh tearing gang torsos would fit genestealers well.
Definitely want to make a exodite army with these conversions
Chompy chompy on poor trazyn
These kits seem to work really well together, which is always nice to see
How did i miss this video, i literally made custom dire avengers out of the new guardians and lumineth sentinels
Beautiful elven music to go along with the conversion! Rad as always, Pete.
Finally 40k eldars and AoS elves combined...in plastic! I've been waiting for this for so long...and kitbashing only Drukhari and dark elves in the meantime ;)
These conversions would be perfect for Expodites 👍
Those look awesome!
These conversions are really amazing, for the 2nd minis' head you could've used also Tamiya's putty, I use it in my conversions and it's incredibly good for filling little gaps.
Another cracking job!! absolutely amazing how well they worked!
One of the things that always interested me about 40k were alien genestealers. It never made sense that a whole subspecies of the tyranids can only ever work on humans. What happens when a genestealer cult takes on the T'au populace? What about ork genestealers, (or "greenstealers.") Wouldn't taking elements of the ork genealogy be useful to the hive as a whole somewhere down the line, even if not for full scale infiltration?
Not sure about the other races, but I think it's canon that Orks can easily detect GS and usually kill them.
Most races have biological or psychic measures. Orks can tell who's not greenskin enough, the powerful Aeldari psychic network detects mutants almost instantly, T'au tech basically insta-scans them as a threat, etc. Ork Genestealers were a thing before, the Genestealer Patriarch basically has to catch one of these races in a group outside of society, like Kommandos, Corsairs, etc.
@@lightningwolf788 Aye, in the Ciaphas Cain novel "The Emperor's Finest", Cai and Jurgen essentially find themselves on a space hulk where a band of unsuspecting Orks are gettin' leeched off by a Tyranid hive, having some of their number become genestealers while the rest are omnom'd. There are two types of stealthy Orks: Purple Orks, and Ork genestealers - those frakkers don't even "WAAAGH"!
Ork genestealers used to be a line in the earlier days of Warhammer, before Tau, that is.
This was a model that would have been cool to see side by side with the standard model, much love tho
I'd love to some characters from the Iron warriors, especially warsmith Honsou. I'd like to see how you'd handle the necrodermis arm
Great work as always Pete ! Would love to see a modern conversion creating Nassir Amit of the Flesh Tearers.
or just any flesh tearers!
@@antonjonsson424 too right !
Very cool. The Lumineth look to owe a lot to the art style of Moebius. The Bullheaded Helmets could look cool with the Bullheads cut off them, and the tops filled flat or domed. This looks to be a rich vein of bitz to be mined for cool Craftworld/Exodite conversions. Thanks for another interesting video. The freehand skull face is very nicely executed.
The Morbius reference to eldar is a good observation.
Gorgeous work
Some necron conversions would be sweet
literally some of the best conversions you have done so far. These look incredible and im genuinly contemplating a whole army of these now.
Really nice work.....can you do some noise marines also? 🤔🤘🤘🤘
Exodites next please!!!
are they on the bigger standard bases that Marines are on? They look like they really fill them up. Fantastic conversions as always.
Primaris tyberos please
idea: dark mechaicum chaos cultist
Give you do a painting guide on your colour scheme?
You should do a video on how to kitbash commisar yarrick
I'm currently working on a Void Dragon conversion from the Necrons, I wanted to make it more Dragon-like and I'm looking to use the bits from the new Dragon stuff for the Stormcasts.
You should do OLTYX and his court from TWICE DEAD KING
Corsairs + Guardians to make Black Guardians for me. Have to fight and be exterminated by those new Night Lord models somehow. For it is written.
Literally written, in the Night Lords Omnibus.
I'm not a fan of the pixelated thumbnails. Sometimes I would watch your videos because I saw something interesting in the thumbnail, even if I didn't care for the faction. That doesn't really work anymore.
glad you gotten some of the new eldari models and did your awesome work on them
If you're looking for more Xenos conversions, I'd love to see your take on an Ork Genestealer Kelermorph (or as I call it, the Kelermork). It's an idea I'm planning on doing myself and I'd love to see how you tackle it!
do you ever use army painter paints? And if so what tips and tricks do you have for achieving a better result?
love your vids by the way:)
Honestly I would give the guardians a 1 skull as it required a few easy cuts
More xeno kitbashes!
the heavier-but-ornate armor of the Hammer-lumineth (forgot the names) gives this Dark reaper an air of dark nobility, a poise in his stance that the official vanilla kit doesn't give (if anything, their new models still have the "we are just the heavy weapon team, move along, nothing interesting to see" feel to them).
Had GW's stuff been a bit cheaper, this would have made me jump on doing an Eldar army (I HATE the Wraithbone armors look with a passion) with a more Exodite, zen feel.
Fantastic models! Do you know if the Sentinel’s bodies respond well to the shuriken catapults? I’m thinking of making a full exodite guardian squad this way!
those eldar look like the eldar from the lost craftworld Zaisuthra with the high collar and coat as detailed in the book Rise of the Ynnari: Ghost Warrior
Will you ever do an other custom chapter competition?
Wycht Cult and Daughters of Khaine next? 🌚
I was wondering if it is possible to do kitbashing on archaon the everchosen in order to transform it into a vampire type mini like what you did with Sigvald ? And if it's possible could you make it please ( btw it's my favorite minis, and also once again a really great video)
What's the best way to give you ideas for Astartes conversions? I had one for the Thousand Sons but am struggling making my idea a reality
very feminine and submissive, well done
9:17 What happened to the featureless face? :(
I was thinking that... but it probably didn't look right
How about converting Rubicon Models Viet Cong with GW Flagellants and/or Fireforge Games Folk Rabble to create Fraetris Militia.
Hruud!
I just finished building my storm guardians this was and panted up 1 to get my colours right, loved this style since I saw the conversion on the warhammer community page, I'll be interested to see how you did yours compared to how I did mine :)
I did less work on the neck, I clipped it at the collar, then clipped the helmet neck off completely
Wow, never been this early!
These look great ive absolutely got to try the storm Guardian for use as corsairs.
I'd love to see a 30k conversion seeing as that's getting love lately.
Maybe mark 5 armour kitbash or atramentar
I would love to see you tackle some drukhari stuff. Be it Lahmeans or wyches or what not. Your creations are always so inspiring. Thank you!
Nice work, the conversions look great but I thought GW really, really does not like gamers doing this sort of thing these days.
I live using AOS for 40k kitbashes. Beast snaggas made from Orruks lioke so much better
Pete, you have to show more of you PAINTING these models! 4chan says your wife is the painter...I never start rumors, i just spread them!🤣🤣
Great job man, I am one if your long term fans!
I've had this idea for a very long time. I really want to have an ork kill team, but I'd like them to have a heavy metal festival vibe, who wouldn't like an ork mosh pit? An 'EAVY ME'AL MORK PIT if you like.
I'd like to see a plastic trazyn the infinite and orikhan the diviner
"Dammit trazyn you got us box seats to a coup!"
"Well the reviews were very good"
How about an Exodite Conversion (If you didn't do one already and I missed it). So, I would do: Lizardmen Dinosaurs, Wood Elf bodys and Aeldari Weaponry.
while I do like the end result, the thing I'm stuck on is the fact that you would be spending $120 + tax + shipping to make a unit of 5 Dark Reapers, and another $115 + tax + shipping to make 10 guardians. Can't even properly calculate the rangers because they aren't sold separately yet. I used to love kitbashing back in 3rd edition, but it's simply impractical from a financial perspective anymore.
How about Shining Spears or Saim-Hann jetbikes kit-bashed with the Wild Riders kit?
I would love a Felix kitbash as we have an official Gotrek model but nothing for his partner...
Man! Kitbashes like this make me so happy! These look to me like, if some craftworld eldar lived on a planet permanently and therefor got rid of some of the space suit astetic. Really great job!
Those new Dark Reaper helmets are pure cancer, RT versions still hold up well.
As for future conversions? Let's see some Exodites and different versions of Corsairs.
I always feel like 40k+sigmar bashes just stick out like sore thumbs as sigmar models... no different here. You just tossed eldar heads on realm lords.
I would love to see how you'd go about kitbashing some Farsight Enclaves Tau, given their lore I want to kitbash mine to be more rough and thrown together looking, and I'd be fascinated to see what you would do!
Really wish they’d release fire dragons, swooping hawks and striking scorpions and warp spiders.
That was amazing. Thank you for doing this for the community 🎉
These are just better and doesn't make all your infantry looking like they're imperium assassins.
I've always had a soft spot for the eldar since they were my first 40k army, before orks. I recently got back into their lore along with a bunch of lumineth on sprue still. I may have to do this.
A Primaris Marine tossed into the warp and lands in the world of Age of SIgmar. No guns!
Would the conversion you did for the storm guardian also work with the defender arms?
Amazing work dude! Anything similar for drukhari?
Something that could be done also is filing away the crescent on the breastplate to leave a flat surface for an Eldar Craftworld symbol! Would take the model to the next level and make it less like a Lumineth in space.
Kitbashes/conversions for the aspect warriors who are still only available in finecast would be awesome.
I'm tempted to use the Wardens and Storm Guardian parts for Warlock conversion rather than the Sentinels.
The shields and pike would be good for the main frame of a banner, could chop that tip and use the hilts of the sheathed swords from the Wardens to make 10 swords, always nice to have some on hand so you don't need to cut a hand off to get one.
Man, I'd love to see you making Vect's model, considering he's not in production since the stone age.
Maybe some kitbashed phoenix lords would be pretty swag
How about making the Phoenix lords ? They need an upgrade
There's a tiny bit crossover in the shapes you find in tyranids and necrons. I'd love to see a bunch of mechanised tyranids!
I’m starting to wonder how you would pull off a Wraithseer w/o using the forgeworld model
I'd love to see a Drukhari Archon conversion - the current pose is so unappealing to me.
I'd love to see you co very up then older Phoenix lords, to bring them more in line with the new jain zhar and maughan rah
Pete, loving the vids mate, channel is a great place for inspiration..=)
I know this comment will be lost but I'd love to see a greasus goldtooth conversion, i know there is a mini out there but I'd love to see your rendition of it
Would love to see a fire dragons kitbash. Love the channel either way
Guide for a new Sslyth to overcome finecast
a illic nightspear or prince yriel update would be very cool
This would be perfect to fill out Warlock conclave
Ok crazy conversion Slanesh mechanicum!
I really wanna do a whole army like this, but this means that I would have to buy two armies to make one. Two box to make one unit is not the beast deal in my book :(
*3D printer go brrr*
Ebay
@@SuperOmegaBerserker ayo bro, do you have files you can share with me?
@@defox1998 thingiverse and other file sharing sites exist i dont even have a printer yet but been eyeing a anycubic 3.0
Your kitbashing videos are sick, my guy
I have waited so long for this
Best Eldar I've seen. Awesome Work.
What kind of basing material do you use?
Can you do an ork boyz conversion as I feel like the new kits need more love
sadly we still have the same Warp spiders from second ed :(
I'd love to see some corrupted raptors from the horus heresy, from when alpha legion tainted the gene-seed of the raven guard, making corrupted but loyal space marines. you could give bird mutations to the raptors like what they look like in the dornian heresy or what is depicted to happen to Corax after entering the warp
I saw Raptors and thought "the horus hersey had dinosaurs?"
I love the reapers. Always thought the GWs were cheesy
alternative title "i make the best eldar exodite models you've ever seen
I would love to see some Drukhari Trueborn, Bloodbrides and Haemoxytes, the upgraded troop choices. I'm willing to bet you could turn out something cracking!
Hi Pete, I do actually have a xenos 'challenge' conversion for you. It's one that I'd like to do myself, but I don't have an Eldar army, so I can't justify the cost.
The idea is to take an Eldar Wraith Knight and make it articulated, with the help of an RG EVA 01 Bandai kit. The RG kit has an entire inner frame that you can glue the Wraith Knight parts onto.
Obviously it's not quite so simply, there's a lot of hollowing out that needs to be done on the WK parts.
Additionally there's a ton of EVA armor parts that you can use for other projects. I understand if you think it's too much work and too fiddly, but I'd appreciate to hear what you think about the idea at least. I don't know how familiar you are with Bandai model kits, but they don't need glue, it's all push fit and if you haven't tried one, it'll blow your mind just how good their assembly is.
I've recently started collecting Thousand Sons, and it's got me thinking what a unit of Rubrics would look like if kitbashed to primaris (or what I would consider 'true scale' space Marines given the size differential to regular humans). Would be a pretty tricky conversion as the Rubric armor is quite ornate. It makes absolutely 0 sense from a lore standpoint but would still be a really cool project
