CUSTOM 40k Dark Mechanicus Chaos Knight...

[@Tajealos]

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@garrettlaundry357]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@Vollce]

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

[@multiple_oranges]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@iiruniaalice1764]

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

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@thegreatkamikaze]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@joshuaszeto]

This looks really awesome! a few tips from the gunpla world, if you mix some chopped up sprue plastic with tamiya extra thin cement in a glass bottle, let it sit for a few hours and you should have a sludge/slurry to use for filling in seam lines. since it's the same plastic as the model, it will blend in seamlessly once you have sanded it smooth. Probably not super important since you will paint it but it's a handy alternative to putty. I have heard of people using acetone instead of tamiya extra thin cement. And the spring you used for a hose, if you run a length of solder inside the spring, it should hold it's shape a lot better and make your glueing/assembly easier.

[@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 🤙

[@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.

[@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.

[@HadoukenHero]

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

[@ratz9387]

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

[@slate613]

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

[@TheStraightJakket]

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

[@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.

[@Frosty4427]

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!

[@tinfoiltube]

My favorite TT video yet!

[@stefanhirschvogel254]

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

[@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!😂😂😂😂

[@alanstedman1090]

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

[@taco067]

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

[@emdeo]

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

[@blackdragon1897]

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

[@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 👌

[@MarmadukeRupe]

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

[@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.

[@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 😉

[@bloodgulchpatrick]

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

[@GlythPrime]

Sprue glue would help with the seam line

[@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

[@davetaylor9966]

Fantastic conversion, Dave!

[@erikbraun473]

wow, that looks phenomenal! seriously epic!

[@johnmeredith9185]

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

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

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

[@danyael777]

Akira Kurosawa would be proud of that intro.

[@yesmilord2350]

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

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

can't wait to see this painted!!!

[@makeshiftminis9090]

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

[@leafy126.5]

This channel has always been amazing. Keep it up

[@jakoblundeborg9881]

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

[@Hukahey]

Seriously cool in every way. Well done !

[@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

[@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.

[@Mistheart101]

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

[@Jediand]

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

[@Bearrascus]

So nice, I love kitbashes!

[@chazwiseman5326]

Can't wait to see you paint it

[@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!

[@catdoom9372]

At around 16:30 they mentioned bits packs on their website but I can't seem to find any listed. I'm very interested so is this coming soon or am I missing something?

[@stevenotrob6513]

That looks amazing great work matey

[@bloodgulchpatrick]

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

[@hunterjoyce3580]

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

[@TheNarrativeNerd]

Absolutely incredible!

[@graefx]

I cant wait to see this painted

[@AchanCham_]

Awesome conversion!

[@SilverSkyCloud]

do you have a video with tips on how to get started with miniature painting?

[@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

[@wapniak666]

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

[@alphawolves8809]

Amazing guys. Love it.

[@darkhawk7494]

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

[@TheJedinator13]

I love the brickman reference!

[@hl1737]

this must be the coolest knight i have seen

[@robertfindley5843]

Looking forward to the painting video

[@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

[@phoenix-kingz]

Ok where can I get some of those collar bits or some cheap 3D printed version of em cuz I neeeed those

[@cinderheat]

Ok - this looks epic - painted now please!

[@joshuaedley5191]

not gonna lie that looks awesome!

[@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...

[@alexadamson9959]

I have one of those green stuff rolls. I’ve had it for over a year, just laying out in the open, covered in plastic shavings and other random crap. Still works as well as the day I bought it. You guys must have just gotten a REALLY bad batch.

[@Bobb5555555555555555]

The cherubs are such a good touch

[@minipaintingforyou]

Thank you for sharing!

[@computersocsci]

God damn that looks so good!!

[@Melatania]

I love the robo-babies! Any idea when the painting video is coming??

[@Xatxitor]

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

[@Sharp_Stone]

Like the grey, but why no paint it?

[@GoatOnATrainHobbies]

Dave's really sold me on the Dark Mechanicum.

[@brianlancaster1791]

Can't seem to find the bitz packs on your store. Do you have to be a Patreon to get access?

[@2dola]

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

[@BlaueCookieFan]

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

[@52n438]

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

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Oooooh Samurai Dave!!!

[@thom-novi]

Wickeddd. Painting video on this?
