Seeing those T'au drones incorporated onto the back makes me imagine a group of Darkmech Skitarii jumped some Fire Warriors, grabbed the drones, and the Tech-Priest screamed "SCARPER!" as they all ran off with the drones like Jawas abducting a lonely droid on Tatooine

[@Verocyie]

WE NEED JAWA DARKMECH SKITARII

[@mistformsquirrel]

... this is the mental image I needed today >_>

[@619Slipk]

Dave: Not all dark mechanicus worship demons and stuff Dave minutes later: Look, demon baby cherubs!!

[@lofiworkshop]

Poor Murray. He needs a knight. Can't wait to see how this one looks all painted. The kitbash is excellent. I love when I find the perfect bits, like those springs.

[@sleithsaerish7954]

This thing is nigtmarish and a great inspiration! I love dark mechanicus and it's great to see projects really going full forbidden tech with it.

[@garrettlaundry357]

19:05 putting magnets in the parts so you can switch them out when needed. THAT is brilliant!

[@Ciretwo]

Love seeing knight conversions

[@carlread428]

I cant lie. This is something of EPIC proportions. So inspiring and really well made. I would love to see the colour scheme you choose for this bad boy one time.

[@SomeoneElse2148]

This is one of those rare occasions where the sequel outshines the original. At least for now. Seeing them all painted will be the next exciting step! Love you guys and all your work.

[@PelinalDidNothingWrong]

Knights are ripe for kitbashing and conversions! It's so cool seeing things like this and it just makes me wanna see a full fledged Dark Mechanicus Army

[@NudocPRIME]

Welcome back jen and Dave, now your back I can thank the rest of ttt . Without you guys I would never discovered the fun of miniatures . Dave introduced me to nurgle and kitbashing. Even the random nurgel bathday helped me learn just how far you could go lol. Thank to you both . It's now something I really enjoy

[@kookieslayer]

That's the best dark mechanicus knight conversion I have ever seen. Freaking amazing! Great use of the gunpla segmentated tubes addon. Can't wait to see it painted!

[@TabletopTime]

Thankyou so much

[@multiple_oranges]

yay so happy you're both back! This is my favourite intro to a video on the entire channel 😂😂😂😂

[@Vollce]

The intro was peak art. Not to mention the knight.

[@iiruniaalice1764]

congrats liam, really liking your edits, and that intro was great

[@Andrewlang90]

Odd that the beginning of the video with Samurai Shodown music brought back a lot of childhood nostalgia. But that knight is killer, well done

[@TheStraightJakket]

lol, Jazza eating his nails - "that is what is eating at you" 15.05 :)

[@Weez-2_The-Beez]

“What’s more chaotic than little demon cyborg babies?” I dang near choked on my beverage thinking about what those babies would look like 😂 Definitely extremely thrilled that this project was able to come together and can’t wait to see how you paint it 🤙

[@IPGuitars]

For cleaning up the seams (2:45) I would strongly recommend different grit nail files. The shape makes it easy to hold and use rather than just sandpaper around your finger. If you do use sandpaper, fold it over threefold so that it is more of a tool and makes it easier to sand things flush :) Sandpaper around your finger will (in the worst case) just accentuate bumps as your finger is... well... squishy. Ooh! AND for drilling up to a bigger hole I cannot overstate how amazing step drills are for this. They won't grab the material like a twist drill bit and will get you a really nicely finished hole in the end. Even the cheaper ones are pretty good and won't go wrong. A total time and lifesaver if you ask me :D

[@kate_c_]

Awwww there will be mutiny if Murray doesn't get to make his build next!! Also smoothest opening of green stuff I've ever seen at 11:42!! ...but still, Murray's turn for epic build :)

[@ErfMuck]

Lol. 😂 I had to laugh when you said it was eating at you and you can see Jazza in the background biting his nails!😂😂😂😂

[@epiccthulu]

i like the tau addition. I can see a book moment when the tau realize that the machine has the codes of a drone that used to belong to an Ethereal and is immune to being targeted by Tau weaponry. Then they realize they can hack the machine through the drone causing the demon part of the machine to exert real effort into animated its now defiant cage

[@bloodgulchpatrick]

This video is almost overflowing with little jokes and references... I love it.

[@HadoukenHero]

Omg omg it's here in all its heresy! Ps welcome back! Murray-kun did very well.

[@danyael777]

Akira Kurosawa would be proud of that intro.

[@optimusWII]

If you want the spring to hold a particular shape you can bend a metal wire into the shape and then just slide the spring over the wire

[@TabletopTime]

Oh my gosh that's genius

[@optimusWII]

@@TabletopTime Haha, I build a lot of gunpla, so I thought I'd share some inside knowledge 😉

[@MarmadukeRupe]

Folks your conversions make me really want to try kit bashing. Thank you for the inspiration

[@GrayderFox]

Y'all are goofs. X) Man, the passion really shows with this one. Good thing you lost that claw, because the kitbashed replacement is REALLY cool. Whole build is!

[@yellheahtris]

You guys came back with an absolute insane banger! This is absolutely insane and put together so quickly! Just getting you to watch you work is inspiring, let alone how cool it turns out! The kitbashing always looks like it should have been there to begin with!

[@rileyernst9086]

I love seeing kitbashed knights. I mean whether it is a dark mechanicus abomination, a fallen knight, a knight in service to the mechanicus or wealthy nobles or magnates in their own right (or any combination of these)they all benefit from excessive modification and customisation!

[@Dreadguard]

Alright you've convinced me. I need to get some shield/hammer bits for a Contemptor kitbash I'm wanting to do for my homebrew. So let's see whatcha got

[@thegreatkamikaze]

Of all the bits in this build, the opening was one of my favorite bits!

[@slate613]

That is seriously wicked and it's not even painted yet! I can't wait to see it fully finished.

[@Frosty-kz4om]

Gotta be one of the coolest conversions I've ever seen

[@jessicahawkins669]

Hell, I can't wait to see this bad knight painted up! Might not see it in the Kill team, but it's going to be fun to see them clash. Hope Murray gets his knight too!

[@solidzaku2]

Sorry this is so late, but here's my tip to get those seams sealed properly. When you apply the plastic glue, go over both sides like he did, but wait between 5 and 10 seconds. That gives the plastic time to actually melt. Then compress the pieces as firmly as you can without damaging them. You'll see an ugly bead of melted plastic form at the seam if you did it right. Once it hardens, THEN go after it with your hobby knife. And if you want the results to be invisible, wet sand from 600 then 800 grit. The finish left by a dragged blade is somewhere between 400 and 500 grit, so 600 is the perfect starting point.

[@ratz9387]

I love love loved how the claw turned out, its so cool!

[@ahoyturtle]

Great work! Kitbashing is my favorite part of the hobby, so seeing a video like this one and the Sisters Knight are always great for inspiration.

[@darkhawk7494]

We need a knight off between loyalist and traitors. Brilliant conversion

[@GlythPrime]

Sprue glue would help with the seam line

[@ombrepourpre7562]

I really, REALLY love the claws. It's just perfect ❤ And can even be used for a classic, complient Knight 😍 The Sister of Battle one was pretty good (the shield is sick 👍). But this one is on another lvl : everything seem mean to be. Amazing 👌

[@alanstedman1090]

What an inspiring and amazing conversion. Great work mate, hopefully se it painted one day soon!

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

This looks so siiiiick. For seam filling, I recommend some thin sprue goo! I'm sure you know of it, just melt some sprue in a bottle of plastic cement. Super useful stuff. Use it in place of your regular plastic glue for these sorts of things and sand it down thereafter.

[@thomaschandler1973]

this is awesome. I can't wait to see it painted. If you are going to paint the tau drone in tau colours, you should paint the guardian drone straight out of Blackstone Fortress. If the Blackstone Fortress is large enough to have an entire spacecraft inside, I'm sure it's not outside the realm of possibility that a mad Magos could cobble together an abominable knight. Just imagine, exploring the fortress and suddenly encountering a knight stomping through the cavernous halls.

[@taco067]

Without a doubt the coolest knight I’ve ever seen!!!

[@blackdragon1897]

The head looks like a Vex machine from Destiny. But overall it looks sooooo badass!!! Fantastic conversion

[@jakoblundeborg9881]

Oh holy mother of Vashtorr that is probably the coolest bloody knight I've seen!

[@emdeo]

Oh that's so so sweet well done ! Can't wait to see it painted

[@davetaylor9966]

Fantastic conversion, Dave!

[@chrisb9899]

Really starting to like this channel. Keep up the great work guys

[@chrisb9899]

Makes me wanna get back into the hobbie. But don't know where to start? Alot has changed in 20years.

[@yesmilord2350]

I REALLY hope you guys will be doing a video of when you paint this heretical beast! Also daemon knight!!!

[@AchanCham_]

Awesome conversion!

[@tinfoiltube]

My favorite TT video yet!

[@stefanhirschvogel254]

I love seeing custom made stuff!!! Realy awesom! Greetings from switzerland

[@hunterjoyce3580]

It's beautiful it brings a, oily drop to my eye

[@leafy126.5]

This channel has always been amazing. Keep it up

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

can't wait to see this painted!!!

[@rileyernst9086]

I customised an armiger to be running. I personally think it looks looks really good if you cut the toes off and glue them on pointing downwards from the centre of the foot like how a bird orientates its toes whilst stepping. This would I guess in both birds and battle mechs lower the chances that a toe will snag on something as you move.

[@erikbraun473]

wow, that looks phenomenal! seriously epic!

[@TheNarrativeNerd]

Absolutely incredible!

[@Hukahey]

Seriously cool in every way. Well done !

[@Bearrascus]

So nice, I love kitbashes!

[@Jediand]

Great work on the knight, but let Murray make one! XD He deserves a treat!

[@minipaintingforyou]

Thank you for sharing!

[@makeshiftminis9090]

The knight looks fantastic, I can't wait to see it painted

[@hl1737]

this must be the coolest knight i have seen

[@chazwiseman5326]

Can't wait to see you paint it

[@graefx]

I cant wait to see this painted

[@stevenotrob6513]

That looks amazing great work matey

[@Mistheart101]

Oh this is gonna look so damn good when it's painted, I can feel it

[@johnmeredith9185]

This knight turned out so dope! The cyborg demon cherubs might be my favorite part xD

[@rileyernst9086]

Great work!

[@Perkustin]

Impressive looking results, all of the cabling and conversion work gives the Knight a much more integral look with a stronger feeling of robustness and stability. When it comes to greenstuff it's 100% just luck of the draw, i have a bunch of it (that is 12+ years old) stuffed into a bag, some of the strips even stuck together, still works fine with no lumps (well i cut out the dried out stuff from the middle but everybody does that). That said i've NEVER experienced these lumps i see in videos, if it can mix it does mix, maybe old greenstuf is just better.

[@robertfindley5843]

Looking forward to the painting video

[@Zickzag]

Wow great job!

[@Bobb5555555555555555]

The cherubs are such a good touch

[@cinderheat]

Ok - this looks epic - painted now please!

[@ClarissaMeyer]

Dave don't be mean to Murray! I would love to see a trio of kitbashed knights. So I may have to run this video on repeat...

[@GoatOnATrainHobbies]

Dave's really sold me on the Dark Mechanicum.

[@DungeonBricks]

I'm really wanting to see your take on painting the Scythe (board game) minis (and maybe a 3D landscape of the map?) Sounds like something right down your alley TBH

[@spooknukem1177]

Not gonna lie this is making me want to make a KUSTOM KILLY NIHT with gregchin hanging off it and shit

[@wapniak666]

for filling seam lines check out Ammo Putty Surfacer it should work a lot better than just a glue

[@computersocsci]

God damn that looks so good!!

[@hydecleese8877]

That is awesome!

[@52n438]

i went to a game store and got to battle on the titan board its so cool!

[@TheJedinator13]

I love the brickman reference!

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

12:37 my greenstuff was like that when i got it from green stuff world

[@WilhelmScreamer]

The dunecrawler claw is a big improvement over the stock

[@2dola]

Holy shit Dave you just smash that out in a week, epic dude!

[@DFloyd84]

I bet Dave found the missing claw pieces the day after he finished kitbashing the replacement.

[@Xatxitor]

You were right on time for the sakuras in japan :D

[@sebastienlovescookieswirlc]

Very well done. All those exposed cabling, though, are going to be a design problem.

[@Atherax]

This is 10000% awesome

[@Frozenkoldfury]

Shout out to Malifaux for having some of the coolest miniatures in the Tabletop hobby. And being a damn fun system. Also HOLY SHIT Dave this looks so sick! Absolutely horrifying and suitably Dark Mechanicum

[@joshuaedley5191]

not gonna lie that looks awesome!

[@whyarehandlesathingonyoutube]

i would love to see a painting video for this

[@RBarchy7]

and now it needs to get painted :)

[@artycharr]

I had no idea those minis existed, and now i wish i didnt, because they are EXPENSIVE.

[@wokkolandia]

AWESOME 😮

[@bloodgulchpatrick]

Have you ever tried the Brown Stuff? It's stiffer, less rubbery. My favorite putty so far.

[@nuttyboi6645]

I finished watching end of evangelion last week so this is just what I needed Also darkmech are my second favourite faction after tyranids
