Cadian Command Squad Kitbash - Tyrant's Legion Ep 2 | Badab War 40k

After completing the bulk of my infantry for my fledgling Tyrants Legion army, I needed and HQ choice to lead them. So one again I turned to some 20 year old models I had cluttering up my closet.
This is Episode 2 in an on-going series about building a Tryant's Legion army from old, or second hand models.

Amazing work, can't wait to see some artillery support for these guys!

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

I just traded for another basilisk as well. My only challenge now if fitting in everything I want in only 3 heavy support slots...

[@Newbledee]

Looking great! You've really pulled off a unique but cohesive look between the units so far.

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Appreciate it. And my hope is that once I start mixing in Astral Claws units to the army I can still maintain that cohesiveness, while still maintaining clear visual separation between the mortal and space marine units

[@shaundowse2894]

Really nice work. I love the lengths you go to to get the look that you are aiming for, especially cutting off that tiny skull for your commander's hat. Kudos.

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thank you! I might have a bit of OCD, but it generally results in some pretty cool models!

[@roochman]

I can't wait for the next video featuring these little goons!

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Going to get some leman russes out the door soon!

[@grantlancaster9051]

That commander looks great. It was fun to see you go through the creative process and see all the steps along the way that didn't work before it finally clicked.

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thank you! And Im glad you enjoyed going through the process with me. Sometimes our first ideas don't always work out. And that's ok.

[@Matt-md5yt]

Sweet happy to see an update of your Renegade guardsmen unit.

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thanks! Hoping to do one of these a month at least.

[@adamfox1669]

Great work. I really appreciate and enjoy this type of build/hobby content. Thanks

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thanks for saying that. This video is doing pretty terribly for me so far, so I really appreciate comments such as this. They help keep me motivated to make more in this style!

[@pax.imperialis]

I really enjoyed this video series so far! Great choice of heads for your guardsmen and a simple but effective color scheme.

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Glad you like them. Its wild how much a simple head swap can change these models.

[@MultiVaevictis]

They look very nice. Merci pour la vidéo

[@davidtrujillo1689]

As always your conversions end up looking great. But as a "noob" in the hobby it's always so scary and anxiety inducing looking at how you chop up unused and functional models. each video is a roaler coaster of emotions

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thank you! I can certainly see how taking some clippers to a perfectly good model and cutting it in half could cause anxiety levels to spike. I guess I have been doing this so long that I am pretty confident in my ability to "fix" any mistakes. There are a few things that get edited out of these videos though, as every now and then I will destroy a piece to make it completely un-usable. That does give me an idea for a video though on "fixing mistakes when hacking up models"....

[@OmegaLittleBob]

Very nice!

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thanks!

[@x3tc1]

Replacing the boots with the Cadian ones was the right call! The elven boots were always the reason I shied away from using the high elf legs on Cadians. They are way to slim and make the minis look a bit top heavy. Giving them larger boots ties everything together in a nice way. Also your army really gives off some great Dune vibes (book and 1984 movie)!

[@username12120]

Lovely progress, mate, was hoping you'd post another episode of this army build soon.

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thank you! Trying to get one of these out every 2-4 weeks at least

[@deleonfrancis60]

Guard army is a very easy to get into conversions, such a requirement and excitement to put together. Once you get the basics you can expand from there I know because I’m working on my steel legion army.

[@Red-gv2bk]

I'm loving the paint scheme and conversions! Keep at it!

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thank you! Still have quite a few more ideas to go for this army

[@geronimo8159]

I certainly know the feel of re-using half finished conversions 😅

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

I mean, I guess its better that they get finished off as opposed to languishing in a half finished state forever? Still sucks to cut up something I already did though!

[@geronimo8159]

@@AmnioticlyTanked Yes, totally I think it's salvation for these unfinished minis, even if the have to suffer a bit. Being half-finished must be a weird limbo state, kind of like the purgatory 😄

[@Harry-ck5rw]

Fun, fun , fun , love it

[@clementclaus1435]

Such amazing conversions !

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thanks! They are pretty simple* but they work well I think. *well except that the legs are from a kit that's been oop for a decade now...

@@AmnioticlyTanked That just make them even better

[@clementclaus1435]

@@AmnioticlyTanked I'm so excited to see the rest of your conversion, you do such an amzing work, you deserve more views and followers

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

@@clementclaus1435 Thank you so much! The channel is slowly growing, but engagement like this really does a ton to help me with the KZbin algo!

[@alessiodecarolis]

Good conversions' job, can I suggest pinning with metal rods the legs, for a better grip ? Too many times I saw hands/legs coming apart, also if they seemed well glued.

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

You're absolutely right that pinning would give way more support. I'm just kinda lazy and generally only pin once something already breaks off!

[@BadDecisionDinosaur89]

Still a great video! Would love to see you continue to work on these or some of the new Solar Auxilia

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thank you! I burned out pretty hard on KZbin about 6 months ago and just kind of disappeared. But Im getting the itch to start recording again so we will see what I end up doing!

[@BadDecisionDinosaur89]

@AmnioticlyTanked Understandable, and your enjoyment of you hobbies should always come first!

[@groovieboyjr1300]

Amazing video!

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Glad you think so!

[@cyantheman5364]

Hey remember to edit out those mouse clicks from the beginning and ends of voiceover takes

[@somebodysomewhere5571]

Enjoying this series of guard minis, I’ve been building a guard army myself for a few months now so this is cool to see

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thanks! Im having fun doing a more episodic series as well with this. Will get back to conversion and painting tutorials soon though.

[@shadowjoe1299]

i think you need to look around your garage and stuff some more considering you not only have the command figures bit also the baneblade box yet supposedly dont have a baneblade a little weird

[@masonlee9423]

Do you think you would ever do more of your badab war paint guides? I would love to see one for the executioners

[@escapebeyond110]

Based

[@XarfaiEngel]

Really cool conversions! The blue stripe aginst the monochrome rest of the miniature looks amazing. Did you freehand the claw onto the banner or is it a transfer?

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thanks! I love the pop of color it gives, while still staying in the cooler color spectrum with the rest of the scheme. The claw is a transfer. It was from Chapter Customizer but it looks like they took the transfer sheet down...

[@Velasc]

man I love the flag!

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thank you!

[@kausalkraken5951]

These look great. Keep them up. Where are the heads from?

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Will do. And there are from Victoria miniatures. Should be a link in the video description.

[@AgeofGuns]

I’m not going to lie at a glance I thought the title said “Canadian Command Squad.”

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

would be one hell of a use for the new rough rider models

[@TheAmateurHobbyist29]

Awesome content! Do you have an advice for making auxiliaries for my Chaos Iron Warriors army? I am thinking about getting the kill team blooded kit with traitor guard but it’s been sold out for a while

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Thanks! What kind of looks do you want to go for? More conscripted slaves pressed into service? Or a more professional military unit attached to the iron warriors?

[@TheAmateurHobbyist29]

@@AmnioticlyTanked Probably a professional military unit!

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

Great question and yes! I'm sitting on 40 conscripts that are done, just the conversions are simple so im trying to figure out how to make a compelling video on them... More are on the way though

[@TheAfroMenace]

@@AmnioticlyTanked As someone whose just gotten back into the hobby with a similar love of Lost and the Damned, I'm very excited! I'm running my force in CSM codex using the Traitor Guard there + Space Marine chapters revived using vile Chaos Psychic Necromancy. Its really fun to work out making the Renegades shine as the most important part of the list, but seeing a pure LatD list fills me with joy.

[@AmnioticlyTanked]

@@TheAfroMenace Hopefully we get full rules to just smash together the Chaos and Imperial Guard Codex, but until then it sounds like you have the right idea!
