The WORST eBay Conversions make the BEST Warhammer Orks

- This week we take a look at a very interesting conversion I just got off of eBay. A Chaos Knight is a very cool piece of kit and it definitely has the bones to make something really special for an Ork army. So I do just that. This Chaos Knight will now be a looted Ork vehicle!

#warhammerork - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Instead of shoulderpads you can mount some platforms and place gobs with tons of Dakka there.
Or take off the old "head" and put a big pipped up hitrod engine fore more dakka power
If there’s gonna be platforms, there’s gotta be a slide to get down to em
I was thinking about removing a shoulderpads and making something else.
And adding more exhaust pipe from where they where at first.
That would be fun!
love the conversion, but i feel like you should have kept the cannon instead of having the head
I personally like the head, but maybe there's still room for a gun on top of it... I do think it needs am but more dakka.
Agreed. The head is cool and all, but the dakka just made more sense. Since the 'pilots' don't need the actual cockpit in the head, it would make sense for them to strip it out and add a big gun.
If the head has dakka attached to it, that'd be fine. The head as a compartment is about the right size for a grot gunner to fit inside and because the head can rotate,I think that could work. Otherwise, a gun looks weird there with the extra compartment sitting on top. So the only other option IMO would be to not have anything there, except maybe wires emerging from it or something that wasn't going to protrude.
Glad after he revisited the Stompa challenge that he's trying more to stick with the original kitbasher's vision, but yeah, I think the choice between the top compartment and adding something to the Knights original head mount was an either or scenario. That is unless he'd put the new compartment even further toards the front.
The issue I had with the gun was that the model didn't read as Orks to me right off the bat. I want there to be instant recognition as much as possible. That being said, there need to be more guns on this model overall! We'll see how it goes, I'm not even sure what's going to happen yet lol.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Kitbashing is fun, but it can be frustrating like that. You can get the equivalent of writers block sometimes. I think the trickiest thing about orkifying a knight is that it has some very distinct curves and Ork vehicles tend to be anything but curvy.
I do like the fact that it looks kind of hunched over like an Ork though.
I _love_ the gretchen with binoculars in the front of the cockpit, makes it look like a pair of tiny eyes while the model is unpainted.
13:30 That first little Grot Rigger is a wonderful mini.
The Orknight is looking splendid. The pauldron covering the left arm really hides the lack of an elbow.
The look-out's bulging red binoculars made me laugh.
This reminded me of an Ork conversion I accidented myself into.
I bought some of those partwork magazines that have 40K sprues in them, but unbeknownst to me, I had missed the first part of a three part set. Meaning I had most of a Redemptor Dreadnought, but no weapons for it (Nor sarcophagus)
Instead of getting upset, I ordered a Deff Dredd and used the abundance of pieces to not only convert my Redemptor into a looted Mega-Dredd, but could also build a regular Deff Dredd as well.
Good work out of a bad situation :)
I LOVE YOU KC! You make my days ( even if I go back to school tomorrow aha )
haha thanks! Have fun at school :)
I love platforms stuck to the side of stuff, i just love space for minis to go, i really enjoy model interactivity
its a 10. splitting the video in 2 parts? YES! NOW IM EVEN MORE EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEKS VID
MY GUY THAT CONVERSION WORK? THE VIBES, THE CHARM, THE RESPECT FOR PAST OWNERS, THE VISION, OOF
also love the consistency in video formula but it still always feels fresh?
the videography, the lighting, the voice over and audio, even the music
truly blessed time to be a hobby enjoyer
WAAGH!!! You did awesome work Konvverting da Knight into a Mighty Warmachine
Always a fan of Ork conversions! Every model is an Ork model after all!
Absolutely!
I like your thought on a newly looted piece. To many times ork machines just look heavy with all the added stuff. Making it light gives it a dangerous new aspect. At 12.50 that thing looks amazing and fast. Slap a load of grechins with it! They'll add armor as the battle tags on
It's looking really good, but man, I miss the old belly gun on it. You could fit a replacement big killie gun right under that head, but I get the impression that's not really your style.
Regardless, I can't wait for the finish product!
Dude, that looks fabulous! Amazing and fun as always! I also really appreciate that you reference the companies/people that make the STLs that you use or show. Helps the rest of us find good parts without having to do a ton of searching. Thanks!
I like what this is going so far, but the cannon in place of the head was definitely the most unique part of the original model, and felt very Orky. Can't use the original Throne, so bolted another vehicle to the top, and what to do with the space created where that old useless head was? Why not more dakka? Presently, the cockpit head sitting above another head is just a bit odd; I feel like to make that idea work you'd need to have them more side-by-side in a skewed, helter-skelter kinda way for a dopey "ettin" look.
IDK anything about warhander (sp?) but I like how it looks like that myself! I've always been into more classic fantasy minis
Looking good! I have wanted to do this and always had the idea of removing an arm and putting something like a B-17 ball turret with a grot inside in its place.
Feels like a missed opportunity to remove the chest-gun. Now it kinda looks like it's got two heads
Awesome start , cant wait to see part two Casey.
Can’t wait to see this thing painted up!
I can't wait to see the completition of the model but taking extra time is the right choice.
It can only make the model better !
from what i know of the glyph what you put on to hide the gap means
old wounded head - head veteran fortress (but that has fallen)
Wonderful!
Please Casey change a shoulder pads to more orky ones and use these in another project!
Remember chaos orks? This brought me back!
This is a super neat conversion!
I adore the close intergeation of the upper cockpit area.
Since you put the head back where it usually is, you could put something like a missile pod or some orkish super weapon into the back
It definitely needs more weapons!
I like the way this model is going . Knight’s are so fun to convert ! I wish I could show you the knight I converted .
Great work, it definitely feels like the original idea but perfected. Mounting the warsuit within the knight chassis definitely makes it less slap-dash looking and lore wise it makes a lot of sense since I doubt the Orks would be able to use the knights throne so putting in manual controls with the warsuit makes a lot of sense.
That rework of the Warsuit cockpit's position added so much more believability to it. Really great change!
I love the head where the cannon was at, but i think it needs more ranged daka, and i think using those shoulders to carry the rangeed weapons would be a good use of its remaining space since you want keep the arms melee based....so maybe have weapons platforms for a crew to man or something would be cool but remote
Weapons that are fired by the pilot would probably look better since you dont have alot surfaces space to work with on the shoulders.
I really like the idea of a super clean knight with a bunch of battle damaged orc bits slapped on. The model would sort of contrast itself
That gun head it had looked so good
I just got into the hobby recently, and am still very terrified of a lot of things. I just started painting my Orks, and though I have the supplies for magnetizing and such, I haven't tried anything beyond simple assembly and basic painting. Videos like yours really motivate me to keep going. Awesome stuff!
So glad TH-cam notified me a day after you released a video oh and didn't notify me for your last 5 videos... love watching the transformations that you do
I cannot wait for the followup on this model. You are killing it man. Super orky and cool
You should do an army showcase for your orks on the last day of Orktober! Finish it with a banger.
I think placing 2-3 scrap panels on the body would better tie together the idea of a scrappa knight
Having groups of grots in/around the cockpit and puppeteering the arms and weapons with chains could be fun, like they didn't even bother trying to understand how this thing moves
This conversion is the best! Orktober - the best time of the year! Can’t wait for finished model🔥
The Hellboy ork looked awesome lmao
yeah he did lol, pretty cool conversion.
Excited to see where this one goes!
Nice convertion. Love the way it looks
The can head made such a difference way better
this is exquisite i cant wait to see the end result
Dude, you're nailing this one!
I love the idea of it being a newly acquired Chaos Knight! Maybe even if you keep one of the shoulders you should have a faded and destroyed Chaos Star with a ORK symbol slapped ontop of it as if it was recently put there 😂
Looking great Casey, Love the direction this is going, I think rusted to the MAX would be ace,
Good shout to take your time and enjoy the process
I was just thinking that you could angle the head slightly. Just like a dog does when it is looking at something curiously. Or, it's just considered something before smashing it to bits anyway.
One of your best conversions yet. I love it. Keep up the great work😁
Looking forward to it. And i love StationForge. They are great
Knights and Orcs are two of my favorite factions! Really looking forward to the final result.
All the Grots come from the Orkaz Run Rolla, from Station Forge.
Can't wait to see the finished product, mate.
I love the idea of an imperial knight going rogue and becoming an ork,
I think for this to read as looted it needs a lot of battle damage. Every section of original armour needs holes and scrapes and gouges, even sections missing and covered with panels.
Tge thing i think would really elevate the conversation would be cutting tge more prominent leg off below the knee and the attaching the foot from one of the othe kits (pinning it for strength) and then using extra panels and jewelry chain on the joint to highlight the splice.
I'm really excited to see this completed
very nice, like the idea and the execution so far, looking forward to the next video! Greetings from Germany!
The model is getting a real ork vibe. Love the grotz too
Bit late here, but might be cool if a some parts still have it's old paintjob before the Orks "found" it.
Nice, looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for taking your time and doing it right!
Glad you are doing this in two parts. This looks amazing, love the head. Also... need more Orks!
I can't wait to see that Ork Knight get painted up!
I feel it would a appropriate to put this bad boy on treads.
5:18 - I think using a small X-Acto knife for this kind of deep cutting and scraping is pretty dangerous and inefficient. I'd suggest using a Craftsman or Stanley utility knife instead. The blade is bigger, stronger, and the utility knife's handle provides a stable grip for precision work.
Gotta love how you can mess with something, anything, in regards to Orks, and it'll look this side of perfect because with Orks? Anything goes as long as it conveys WAAAAGGGGGHHHHH, right? If I played Warhammer, Orks would be a prime contender other than Tyranids for my army.
It is weird how that works. It shouldn't, but it just does! Gotta love it :)
Tod Howard is a secret Ork...his favourite saying is "it just works" 😂
Really like the exhaust pipes
I was really happy with those as well :)
You missed an opportunity here… it so should have been done up like Mr. Bean in his green couch driving the car from the roof with brooms and mops 😂🤣😂 As soon as I saw the war suit cockpit on top I had a vivid image of a snot in green couch driving the knight with a mop 😂😂😂😂😂
lol, oh man, now I'm questioning everything! That would have been too good lol
@@eBayMiniatureRescues it was the silhouette for me in the thumbnail. The cockpit on top and the fact that it was an ork knight... It just brought this image to mind of an ork who couldn't get in the cockpit so was trying to find a way to drive the knight from the outside 😂🤣😂
Maybe find a way to add a third arm for the chainsword?
Honestly my favorite one of your Conversions!
This is so awesome 👍 I can't wait to see it come together!
See the new mic, sounds good! Orktober wooo!
Wot?!
A cliffhanger?
Boo!
😂
lol, I know right? I don't think I've done that in literally years lol
Big choppa is betta coppa!!!!
id like seeing more of the painting process, even if its speed up , its fun to see that happen
Incredibly cool model! I hope you never consider selling it off so it's in your collection, but if you do I'll probably bid. I'm excited for the next video and the finished product.
I wonder if you could do a Gray scale model and make it work for orks...
That could be cool, then splatter stuff with bright red blood for contrast. Sin city :)
I wish the cannon had a grot just sitting on the middle would be funny
or to have the head as the pilot seat and the top seat like an aa battery
That was awsome. Now print a giant ork and slap the chaos knight armour panels on it!
What was the metal af track you had playing there it was fantastic mate!
haha, that would be amazing, just a huge ork with armor on, perfect. The tracklist is at the bottom of the description, it's all stock music from Epidemic, but sometimes the bands are actually real. I'm not sure about that track specifically, but you never know :)
My Orktober model was the starter box ork warboss for 5th edition for warhammer 40k.
Did a complete refurbishment but I didn't strip him just painted over. It ended up really well.
Very cool!
this inspired me to convert this dreadnought with taurox treads and stalker AA gun arms into an ork vehicle lmao
Really like the face gun
You should have this be the throne of a Warboss! Like as if he stole this Knight to claim it has his own and now uses it to lead armies. 😂 I think it would be a neat nod to the original idea the guy who made this had to have a full Ork piloting it.
oh wow this is going to be dope!
Good show
like how you made it your own, looking awesome so far
Love how top heavy and unbalanced the ork head gives to the overall look of the model, real screams ork profile. Can wait to see it maxed out on dakka
id keep the axe and put dakka on the right arm OR use Ghazgul's klaw as part of the gauntlet and do the other arm with dakka
I've got a fun plan for the other arm. I've had this idea in mind that I'm hoping will work out, we'll see!
One of my best friends originally made that conversion we're dying lmao
Very cool 😊
niceeeeee ! I truly love it
Ngl the cannon out the middle was more fun
It neeeds More DAKKAAAA
Always
I can’t wait to see what happens
WAAAAAGH! GORK N MORK ARE PROUD
just curious what the degreaser is? i have an ultra sonic cleaner already that barely gets used (just used to clean my fittings on my watercooling comp build once a year)
You should make the knight parts clean painted and then the ork parts all rusty and messed up
What is that Swamp Thing figure up too?
Genial video...saludos desde México
Nice 👍
What 3D printer do you recommend as the BEST for printing out miniatures? I play D&D and want to get into 40k but my Ender 3 Pro doesn't do miniatures very well.
personally would keep the cannon? cuz now it looks like two heads and is distracting the main focus to head on the top. plus that cannon is in a way cool so rather than a huge cannon like the old one I would probably switch for multiple smaller ones (like the Bracer Phoenix from Pacific Rim 2)
