It's wild to me that, as the hobby's progressed over the years and the models have become more advanced, Kitbashing seems to have become *_less_* common in the general playerbase and gets seen as some lost art only really advanced modellers should attempt? It feels like the models at some point stopped being materials for you to build out of and became pieces of art you need to put together "right". I just wanna take these kids by the hand like you're doing and go "It's your model champ, you can give him a cool head and a sword if you want to!"
@@Blacknight8850 I dont think its seen in the same way. The mindset of kitbashing has this aspect of working against the model to get a result. While a bespoke new bit is made to be painless. The effort of sculpting the igital asset is not something I want to dismiss, but it is a different experience.
@@WilhelmScreamer If you're altering the base model in any way you're still kitbashing. I think the main reason you get fewer conversions nowadays is because big companies like GW actively discourage it through model and rules design and what they show in their marketing. In the past it was normal to see a kitbash even in professional photos, and GW put out how-tos on how to kitbash. The kits were easily swappable - the heads, arms, torsos and legs were often interchangeable between kits and even ranges. You could also arm your units with a wide range of weapons from the codex/army book. Nowadays their models are much more monopose and they have specific load-outs in the rules so it really discourages conversions.
Kitbashing/converting is where my real hobby passion lies and I'll flatter myself and say I'm getting pretty good at it. And yet in every one of these types of videos where someone says "we're just gonna stick to the basics" here I am learning new tips and tricks. Excellent vid, thank you!
Amongst my hobby friends, I'm known as "the guy who never met a model he couldn't make better" 🤣 I kitbash and customize EVERYTHING, most of my Custodes army is kitbashed and customized in some way or another, one of my favorites is a custom Darth Maul inspired double sided sword blade champion -Custodian guard body -x2 Custodes swords pinned together at the hilts -custodian guard captain cape -robes from allarus terminator -some dangly bits from the vexilla -Hooded head from the Deathwing Terminators kit (the only part that isn't from a Custodes kit)
Kitbashing looks easy enough when you do it but I think many people are put off from starting by the price. A head-swap is easy but beginners often don't have an extensive bits box. To copy this model I would need to buy a box of Vindictors and buy a whole box of Sisters of Battle for the one spare head. As you progress in the hobby you find ways around it (more spare bits over time, bits sharing with friends or at a club, 3d printed extras, lucky Ebay find) but it's a bit daunting to start with. Scratch building is somehow an easier entry point in a lot of circumstances, kitchen foil and cotton thread for banners were where I started. There's also the question of conversions being 'legal' in gaming, there's always someone willing to gate-keep the hobby.
I literally did a Kitbash today. It’s a small one, but I kitbashed my Questor Soulsworn Chaplain by cutting the Skull helmets face off then cutting a skull from the Citadel Skulls box in half then glued the face on. I cut the forehead off the skull off as the skull doesn’t quite fit the Chaplain’s Silhouette. However, as I’m currently out of Green Stuff, I used Blu Tack to fill out the “masks” forehead. No sculpting experience at all. 😅 I really just wanted to see how it looked. Proper Grimdark is the answer.
Honestly thanks a tone for talking about masking tape, need to add some flags or banners to my slaves to darkness and that's going to be so much easier than going with green stuff
Why I have I never thought of masking tape for cloth before? Fantastic idea! Will give it a go next time I feel the need to add some cloth to a mini! :-)
Love a bit of kitbashing. I have about 40 ish Plague Marines and they are all different. Fun way of making your army a bit unique. As soon as you build up a bits box go for it.
That masking tape idea is really cool! I didn’t know it would work that well… definitely going to incorporate some more tabards and cloaks in my armies now. Well done, Mr. Peachy, sir.
Love the tape! I miss the old techniques and tricks for kit-bashing, they were the rage in 2nd ed 40k, and a bit of 3rd (making banners out of foil, too). Not all were perfect, but so many worked better than you think they would and were essentially 'free'. No need to buy two kits :). Thank you.
Nicely done, Peachy! And a timely video since I'm in the middle of converting a Legion Recon Squad for my Horus Heresy White Scars, and masking tape camo cloaks are the order of the day! Also, for those who are concerned about masking tape not being robust/rigid enough, you can also brush on ModPodge over it, which will make it surprisingly tough.
I am no longer happy in my hobby with the basic box models anymore, I make a point to kitbash/modify/customize models to make everything my own in some degree.. while retaining the original looks. (haha alot of space marines using xenos corpses for shields and the like..)
I have been avoiding kitbasing and converting for a few years before I started with hand swaps. I thought converting was something difficult and I felt like I didn't have the skill to do it. Since I started doing convertions I really enjoy it! It really makes an army your army
Excellent video. Got me inspired to turn the hobgrotz I'm working on into little burglars with tape hoods and cloaks. Also, Tacticus is my usual toilet game but I've been playing Raid because it's not blocked at work 😁 anxiously awaiting a slot to open up in the guild.
Yay, a new hobby video after only three podcasts instead of five like last time. While the podcasts can be fun to follow along with, it does get a bit tedious when so many content creators just follow the pipeline to Podcasts as their main content. Before anyone comments, I understand that they have a higher return on investment of time to content and is why they are so desirable as content.
amen. I for one simply don't have the time to listen to the podcasts and the ones I've listened to haven't really interested me so it is nice to get a hobby video. To be honest, the massive focus on the podcast makes me less interested in the chanel as a whole :/
Its funny because I’m the opposite… I actually love the podcasts, almost more so than just a bunch of dedicated hobby videos. It’s nice to be able to listen to the guys banter and chat about our hobby and just be themselves. The interviews are great to listen to and hobby along with.
Our content is often dictated by availability of guests and we have admittedly had a few bunched together of late but it’s been unavoidable. Also with the demands of Pat’s day job (especially through the summer) it makes the time consuming filming and editing of a painting video, just that bit harder to achieve as opposed to being a financial decision.
As long as there’s a way to represent them via a warscroll or datasheet you should be fine. This model follows all the rules and aesthetics of a stormcast vindicator so yes mostly you can
only three podcasts between hobby videos this time... Just finished painting my Goliath Maulers that I kitbashed with some Space Marine bits. My lore is that they cought a two Imperial Fists who went a bit too far into the underhive and stole some of their gear. Or who knows, maybe one of the Marines had enough if it all and betrayed his brother and joined the gym bros of Necromunda. The bits look pretty good on them, though it was a bit of a project to make it all fit nicely :)

7:33 "Keep the place in tape" 😅
Great advice as always.
That addition of the tape is great and I will be using that immediately
Masking tape....looks at 6 million failed cloaks and tabards in hobby space. Cries.
Sorry 😅

The rise of 3d printing has reduced the 'need' to do it
@@WilhelmScreamer Adding 3D printed parts to your models _is_ kitbashing, though?

-x2 Custodes swords pinned together at the hilts
-custodian guard captain cape
-robes from allarus terminator

I've been doing this for a little while. Used it to make a really cool overcoat for a Commis-Ork
Simple and easy with good outcome. The best kind of conversions.
This is the best ad I've ever seen
I cant leave well enough alone, it's a great part of the hobby!
Love the use of masking tape, will definitely be stealing that idea.
The fact that I’m finding this method Of making capes and tabards now is making me wanna cry
Honestly thanks a tone for talking about masking tape, need to add some flags or banners to my slaves to darkness and that's going to be so much easier than going with green stuff
Now I'm thinking about cloth stretchy bandaids...
Great video, would love a breakdown for you Sister of Sigmar warband kitbash.
Why I have I never thought of masking tape for cloth before? Fantastic idea! Will give it a go next time I feel the need to add some cloth to a mini! :-)
So cool. I've been playing with the idea as well, using Banner Lords for a Underworlds warband
Awesome! The amount of conversion and colour scheme ideas with the game is limitless.
Another great video. Thank you!
Now I kind of want to take some masking tape just to add a rough cloth texture to certain cloaks, capes, coats and tabards.
Do it! You won’t regret it
Love a bit of kitbashing. I have about 40 ish Plague Marines and they are all different. Fun way of making your army a bit unique. As soon as you build up a bits box go for it.

Awesome! I’m glad the tape hack has inspired you 😍👍
That's a (monastic) scapular.
Tabards were fancy T-shirts.
Why does everyone get it wrong?

Looks great!
Great tip.
I love a good kit/scratch build
Love these short kit bash/painting videos with peachy! Hope to see more.
Nicely done, Peachy! And a timely video since I'm in the middle of converting a Legion Recon Squad for my Horus Heresy White Scars, and masking tape camo cloaks are the order of the day!
Also, for those who are concerned about masking tape not being robust/rigid enough, you can also brush on ModPodge over it, which will make it surprisingly tough.
I love the idea of tape! I'd used foil as a base for flags before, but tape is a fantastic parallel approach!
What a delightful little trick. I'll be using masking tape going forward, thanks!

I’ll boot someone out then that hasn’t contributed in awhile lol
Top lad
About to start a Black Templars army. That masking tape tabard, might be useful coming up. Thanks Peachy!
Kitbashing is my favourite part of the hobby, if im honest :)
Wonderful video!
1:38 Reminds me of a knight from Talabecland. In old warhammer, my favourite colour scheme
Hell yeah!

cool idea will give it a try thought the glue on the tape might not take primer or still be sticky after primer
Nope it’s absolutely fine and paints over well, zero issues with primer and tackiness
I wonder if Peachy can do a video without mentioning the Ventrilian Nobles 😄
Nope! Or Sharpe/Sean Bean, tea, or biscuits…..I do try, but it’s very hard 😂
I like the masking tape idea. Wonder if they make cloth tape that's thin enough to use for giants/demons? Hmm...
I’ll b the first to say, but this Peachy guy can paint
Haha! Thanks that’s very kind 😍👍

Why not, it’ll work for anything
Espera se puede pintar el masking tape ?
Yes 👍
@@thepaintingphase solo se pone así o abría que echar algo encima del tape?
Do you use masking tape when painting? Is it viable to use as an 'edge' of a colour on big surfaces?
I suppose so yea, you’ll just need to be super accurate with the taping off so as to get a nice consistent line
When 3 minutes in your 11 minute video are dedicated to a RAID sponsorship ....
I know, it's wild. Glad to have the money to keep making videos though.
@@thepaintingphase I know. Its just part of the hustle. :D
Excuse me. I’ve got to pick my jaw up off the floor. Anyone have any masking tape?
Can you use a models that you've kitbashed in a tournament, or are they disallowed?
As long as there’s a way to represent them via a warscroll or datasheet you should be fine.
This model follows all the rules and aesthetics of a stormcast vindicator so yes mostly you can
RAID sponsor?? Awe my sweet Peachy i thought y all were better than that :(
Sadly the lights don’t keep themselves on.
