I remember you making an Anti-Magnetize your models video

[@Dmitriy_8791]

Привет, Джей! Наверно стоило из грин-стафф и блю-стафф сделать ещё центурионов, чтобы было кому раздать оставшееся оружие? Для хобби переделки интереснее, и потом обменять их можно на какие-либо другие юниты. 👍

[@ham9236]

For a full decade, I've just pretended Centurion suits didn't exist, because I thought they were the dumbest goofiest thing in the space marine arsenal. Hearing your head-canon of them being essentially rapid-response mobile bunkers/gun platforms makes me actually kinda excited for them. Thank you, eons 😅

[@tennesseedogpack]

Not sure which but centurion or gravies armor was from an stc for making ship refueling suits.

[@clinch4402]

And then primaris armours came out. Suddenly centurion warsuits didn't seem so bad...

[@spaceageGecko]

@@clinch4402primaris armours are fine.

[@clinch4402]

@@spaceageGecko Incorrect. Inceptors are beyond goofy.

[@xannylarusso3289]

@@clinch4402 Yawn. Inceptors are only goofy with the blast shields on. Primaris armor looks great and the models in general shit all over the oldmarines.

I somehow always liked centurions, but your centurions are definitely something else

[@MagicHjalti]

Aim for the head

[@hazardfoxclark291]

Love centurions too

[@Direwoof]

Ye i love them cause their like tags from infinity or teh thors from starcraft 2.

[@samfish2550]

I honestly like them more than the current primaris releases. The intersessir and heavy weapons team hurt me on a physical level..... I'll be it it's mostly the poses I've seen but they just fail to sell me and actively lessen the model.

[@varkharus1894]

I also love centurions. Idk I don't understand why people don't like them. They're dope

[@DaronSchmit]

One of the really valuable bits of this is HOW you kitbashed him. The plastic and green stuff tricks can be used in a lot of different kits. Loved the vid!

[@euansmith3699]

Jay's simple joy at converted Centurions and magnets is such a delight.

[@eggrobox]

This is a really good conversion guide. I love how you are using nice and simple bits to expand slightly and using the kit itself to hide any roughness. Well done!

[@grimmriffer]

Wow, I also thought these looked goofy, I didn't realise that if you changed them completely they didn't! Great conversions, great paint, as usual!

[@finnishfatman]

Indeed, who would've guessed 🤣

[@foreverfornever1124]

These would look soo good in a Salamanders army. I actually like these and hope GW make an updated version of them. Pretty mcuh what you did here Jay, great work!!

[@Johnny350Z]

they do look great in my army i agree. haha

[@foreverfornever1124]

@@Johnny350Z Im eyeing them up now haha. I finally got around to working up the theme and paint scheme for my custom chapter but am a bit away from getting these still. I still have a Necron army to finish by the time their new codex drops. Only about 3.5k points to go haha

[@YouTubeisRunByChildPDFiles]

​@@foreverfornever1124Did you get them?

[@parkerbutynski500]

Your description of the Centurions is exactly how the "Tactical Terminator Armor" is used a good example of this is in the Night Lords books there's a fight towards the end of the series where they use the armor just like you envisioned.

[@tempusavatar]

It's like the Iron Man Hulkbuster suit from Age of Ultron, Iron Man inside an Iron Man

[@awanderer3047]

"simple. Use a gun" *Bolter fire "If that don't work, use more gun" *Centurion assault cannons

[@KleinRing]

Wow, one of the most well rounded hobby videos i've seen in a while. Great conversion, great painting, nice background. 10/10 ❤

[@Trevante32]

Im also a centurion fan even without the conversions you did but the conversions just make'em better

[@deddowaddo6443]

I'm not a fan of magnetizing models, but I love seeing how happy it makes you

[@jackofn0trades29]

I have found that if you use a thumbtack to make a mark before you drill, it’s a lot easier!

[@bigchungus1888]

Much safer than using a hobby knife tip, too!

[@polaride7232]

I've been slowly collecting all the tools for this conversion (haven't really dabbled in it before) but the one thing I can't seem to find are the magnets you used. Any chance you remember where you got them? I love your content Jay, you've opened doors to a new love for the hobby!

[@ChimpWithaHandGrenade]

In order to truly complete the Babushka doll effect, someone needs to make a space marine, inside a terminator, inside a centurion inside a dreadnaught, inside a warlord titan, inside an imperator titan.

[@joseale2310]

Getting tengen toppan gurren lagan vibes here

[@Rob-qe3cg]

I'm surprised you don't have a magnet stick. You got a little piece of dowel (thick paint brush handle works fine) and embed a magnet on each side with the polarity in line, then I mark one end red and one blue. Blue is for Body and Red is for (R)arm. Since I use it consistently for all my magnetization, magnetic components between models are intercompatible.

[@BigTastey]

Mate these look absolutely incredible!!! I love the custom work to make them look more like the artwork depicts them!! And as always.. gorgeous paint work bro! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@chuckmaurice]

EoB: 24 magnetized bits! Everyone: ...walks away Me, a Tau player: where do I sign?

[@Hearmeout00]

Was hoping it was gonna be desalators, I’ve been trying to make a squad of them look good, hopefully I can get some tenth edition games in before they get nerfed.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Same.

[@DanielVisOneCade]

As soon as I saw this I was like that's got to be the new stupid NERF marines. I guess Jay is down playing these clowns scuplts because so many STL's have been released to alter or have counts as so your squad's dont look stupid. But centurions never had any love they always just sucked. 😅

[@thedonstandsalone7488]

Mad Dok Minis has done an extremely good conversion of them - basically taking the MLs from Devastators and sticking the actual rocket bits from desolators onto the Devastator launcher's body. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnaanWOfnZWBppI

[@Bobamelius]

If I ever use them I'm just going to take Intercessors and put Heresy-era missile launcher arms on them.

[@KrazyBird911]

Wonderful kitbash, i might have to add these guys to my DA list down the line. Btw handy tip for anyone who has trouble with magnet polarity, use a thin tin coated steel sheet + magnets instead of magnet + magnet. I use 0.2mm but you can get thinner/thicker sheets. Biggest plus with the metal sheet is you can place magnets in anyway you want (or if you forgot which way) and it'll still magnetise to the sheet!

[@panzerknight8438]

I love the original design of the centurion, bulky , heavy armored and ready to destroy everithing in front of them and nice vidéo about one of my most favorite Space Marines unit and im french

[@ethakis]

Honestly, the mods you make to them should just be how they are normally. They look so much better the way you do them.

[@NYHeeb]

I dont play or own any table games or minis but i always likes and appreciate the hobby. The amount of work and detail is a true passion. Maybe as a old retired man ill start. Enjoy the videos

[@steveharrison76]

So... They're like a combo of superman going into a phone box and Tony Stark when he comes out of that cave...

[@luxferre5546]

What are you talking about?!? The Centurions are awesome. Your Intro definitely goes for the Desolation Squad.

[@markhickson1066]

I've always hated the look of centurions and therefore don't have any in any of my sm armies (smurf, blood angels, dark angels, space wolves or my own dragonlords faction); however, your mods make them look interesting enough that I'm going to give them a go. Great looking conversion, matey.

[@h1vemind815]

I've never heard any hate for Centurions except when I rip out 6 of them against someone.

[@tiberiumnp8030]

I love my chunky bois! The look much better in person than in pictures though. And I think a lot of people still don’t know that the pilots have their arms crossed in front of their torsos, and the suit is controlled by willpower.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Really ? Thats sic ! lol Almost like there in a deep prayer or something. Or naturally that position arms crossed sounds like the Imperiun Aqulia symbol / salut. Thanks for sharing that bud.

Yeah, with the title Most HATED, I thought it would desolation, that I would really like to see improved like that

Same. I've seen a few people sticking firstborn missile launchers on them, but I'd like to see a nice choppy/greenstuff fix.

[@filamentio]

You have perfectly corrected the "weaknesses" of the Centurions. The legs are really not perfect on the original models. Good work!

[@VazhaNix]

You don't notice how stiff the models are untill you correct them. That slight repositioning/rescaling of the models gave the a tone of life and they are honestly stunning and look better than any centurion you'll ever see. Hands down this is beautiful!

[@slingshot19d]

Fantastic!! I’m totally doing this I have mine still in a drawer. Time to give them new life!

[@magentaman7639]

The centurion kit is the first kit where my craft knife slipped and cut the heck outta my finger. They’re Dark Angels successors, but the lad that wounded me in construction is gonna look like a World Eater that got lost and joined a Loyalist squad lol. What can I say? A model that wounds the maker deserves all the Blood for the Blood God technical!

The way you do them is the way GW should have made them. I don't like the originals at all from the moment I saw them. That "space marine within a space marine" comment was on point. Yours however, are gorgeous. You brought their essence out. 👌👌👌

Your passion and enthusiasm for the hobby is infectious,

[@adamscottv]

Very cool. The difference it makes is quite striking. The wider stance, extra height, and elimination of the extra hip panels makes it actually look realistic. Warhammer should do a 2.0 kit based on yours.

Impressive, as always. Your kit bashing and painting skills are amazing. Will be joining your patreon soon, I really want those DOW terrain stls. And I have a lot to share, main theme is, discovering what you have after 15 years of being stored in your attic 😮 I’ve been sorting stuff for hours, and that is just separating 40k and the fantasy stuff, the fun starts when I start sorting the armies. If I remember right, that should be 4 fantasy, and 6 40k😅 not really sure, it’s been a long time.

[@nakenmil]

I think the main reason why I dislike them is because conceptually, they're just Terminators with extra steps. It's also why I dislike the Grey Knight Dreadknight, which not only looks incredibly goofy and stupid, but is also basically just a souped-up Dreadnought but leaving out the evocative theme of a fallen warrior forever interred into a robot-tomb to fight on forever.

[@ProtomanButCallMeBlues]

I agree. Same with the Invicta warsuit.

[@youngramone7449]

Man you actually make me want centurions now. They always looked so goofy to me, you make them look so badass, I will definitely be doing this soon ~

Did you go back to the GW paints? I just bought the army painter version to your recipe and I noticed the hue slightly more grey blue then the GW equivalents.

[@sumotacular3681]

Took a break when 7th came out after playing since I was a nerdlet back in 3rd Ed. Bought some centurions when my buddy got me back in with 8th, modeled them with the HB/HuB loadout and threw them into a Raven Guard list I had made up. Thrashed him in my second game back with the centies doing the heavy lifting in T2, and it felt good. So, I bought another box, made a squad of six, and laughed as I imagined a squad of onyx-armored big boys hunkering in the shadows until they get the order, and then popping out to erase everything in a hail of mass-reactive rounds.

[@MarkusMakes]

The disposable warsuit take on Centurions kinda reminds me of Prototype from Halo Legends which is pretty fkin neat
