This looks great! Would be very cool to see a Dornian Hersey version of Dorn himself!

More Dornian Heresy conversions please. They are just so interesting to watch.

[@authoritysdenied7774]

@@justinschroder1483 I think, due to how charismatic sanguinius is, that he would have more of a lorgar-type-role in the dornian heresy... the fallen angel, bearing the words of chaos. nevertheless, anything nurgle corrupted sounds good to me :D

I'd say it's one of the most original conversions you've ever done, great job!

Wow, thanks!

[@dominikgasienica573]

In terms of demonic versions of loyalist primarchs, it would be awesome to see Corvus Corax in his warp Raven form as he hunts down Lorgar, but literally any loyalist primarch being converted to chaos would be so cool. Thanks again for the video; your work is incredible!

[@arespaulson414]

Ahhh bro. I just typed this out thinking no one else would ask it. And here you are, first comment I see after posting. Respect.

[@Bearrascus]

I think I'm going to convert Magnus into a Crovus Corax that returned from the Warp as the dark king, but still "mostly" loyal, at least to humanity or to the thought of releasing enslaved populations and killing tyrants.

[@brandonchaplin9782]

Man this makes me wish that the dark wolves were more then a paragraph in the 4th edition codex

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Yeh the whole wolf/chaos thing is a great combo in my opinion. You can really dig into the Norse stylings from Warhammer Fantasy too.

[@brandonchaplin9782]

@PeteTheWargamer would be awesome to see someone really go to town with it and merge both chaos and normal marines together for it. I hope some day we get something more then what we got for them all those years ago. Had originally gone to start my own a couple of years ago but never got very far as I wasn't any good at converting stuff. Could imagine though that world eaters would be perfect rules atleast to use for them as they're just them with the black rage and fleas 😂 (they probably don't have fleas but it made me chuckle)

[@brandonchaplin9782]

Thinking of it now they could make quite a fun kill team 🤔

[@faceless8755]

@@PeteTheWargamer you could convert Magnus into Lion el’jonson, Daemon primarch of Tzeench from Roboutean heresy, has a lot of potential for changes.

[@abasheddevil]

Sometimes, brother, you need to BE the change you want to see in the world.

[@zetsuz3828]

To continue the theme of Dornian Hersey you can try converting Mortarion into a Sanguinius (Nurgle version).

[@jerondiovis6128]

Came here for this comment. Actually, taking into account Blood Angels' bloodlust lore, maybe Sanguinius also has to be dedicated to Khorne.

[@BottleWaterson]

@@jerondiovis6128 its strange how Blood Angels can be a good fit for khorne AND slanussi, but since none of the other Dornian Traitors fit Nurgle, someone's gotta.

[@martinfllan9163]

@@BottleWaterson feel the best fit for nurgle might be iron hands but its not quite right

[@cpt.s.seiden]

@@jerondiovis6128 I believe it was a case of in a way Nurgle could “cure” their red thirst, but of course its not how they’d want to. More along the lines of the undead from Return of the Living Dead where it nullifies their suffering by consuming flesh. So it still fits pretty well.

[@zetsuz3828]

@@jerondiovis6128 Yeah, I agree, Blood Angels were desired by Khorne, but I'm just playing along Dornian Heresy rules, where Sanguinius belongs to Nurgle for some strange reason, however it helps with theme of Dornian Heresy conversions well, and turning Mortarion into heresy Sanguinius would be fun and easy.

[@fenrirsrage4609]

I'm so happy to see more conversions and kitbashes for the Alternate Heresies. They're always a fun thing to see and a change of pace.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Yeh some Chaos > Loyalist legions would also be an interesting change of pace for me 😂

[@fenrirsrage4609]

@@PeteTheWargamer Oh yeah absolutely, they make for great reads too. Dornian and Roboutian Heresies are fun. Ngl would like to see you make Conversions out of Nemris' Roboutian Heresy fanarts.

@@PeteTheWargamer Tsons? A wizard Magnus to face off against this khornate wolf? :3

[@nian89]

I like the idea of Russ turning into a daemon primarch after millenia of fighting in the eye of terror. He still remains loyal, using his powers to seek revenge on the traitors. "Ye who fights monsters..."

[@ironxYT]

Corvus Corax be like: 🐦‍⬛

[@DryTEKGI]

That's what Corax is.

[@plathulu3786]

I'd love to see a Dornian Heresy Space Wolf army, even if it's just a few unit conversions. That'd be soo sick

[@Mistheart101]

Was excited for this video ever since the kitbash got shown on the Warhammer Community post with the various painted Angrons.

[@NigelAnthonyBrink]

The moment I saw the pictures on Warhammer-community I have been Daily checking for updates on your channel. Really well made Pete!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Much appreciated!

Great conversion! I'd love to see your 40k take on "Sanguinius beat Horus in their duel but succumbed to the black rage because the Chaos gods cursed him as retribution" and it's been 10,000 years of black rage...

[@SONxOFxTHExUS]

I don’t know how exactly you’d be able to portray this but I personally LOVE SpaceWolves and would find it so cool if you somehow found a way to make all if not most or at least some of the SpaceWolves HQs into a small army of daemon princes. Just imagining seeing Rus standing beside Arjax, Ragnar, Ulrik and Krom would be a dream come true!!

This is by far one of your best conversions I have watched all of your videos but this one really is simply amazing. 🎉

[@Detson404]

Masterful work! Clear design, well realized.

[@halfknight2310]

another idea is the lionel heresy. i believe Lemun became a demon prince of tzeetch. he became a sort of wendigo looking demon. If i recall, it's cause of his hatred of the thousand sons. so he attacked prospero (mixed with the lions subtle nudges). but during the battle, he got caught in a chaos ruitual, forcing him to mutate into a demon. he became like a shaman, wielding wulfen and magic.

[@Tim0nTh]

The choice of head is sooo good! That's a thing I like a lot about your videos and kitbashing work. You seem to have a good understanding of GW's design language so you pick bits that both fit the idea you're going for and don't look out of place or 'forced' in the overall aesthetic of the model.

[@TheTankArtist]

Imo, this is your best kitbash, quite simple yet it works so much

[@Hinkenzo]

That honestly was one of the best videos I've ever seen in youtube. Even Leman Russ being your choice in this "what if" scenario is sort of lore accurate.

[@Beetlegoose94]

I swear kitbashing is a bit like watching a Bob Ross painting video. "Oh, I can't believe he just did that, he ruined... no wait that's absolutely brilliant!" Loved the video! Keep up the good work :)

I have no idea how I missed this video when it first went up. Easily one of the best conversions I've seen, he looks like he was meant to be this from the start. I'd never know this wasn't an official model if I hadn't just watched you build it.

[@clarkekent531]

One of if not the best conversion you've done. Too good no need for extra dead animal bits! Would like to see a Daemon Prince Rogal Dorn with a massive mutated destructive fist! To continue this story.
