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]

[@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.

[@ACoolDude.]

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

[@Marinesk-eh2hh]

Space marine babushka dolls are easily A tier - correction: Matrioshka dolls

[@mikoajsobczak1837]

Those are called Matrioshka, at least this should be phoneticaly correct.

[@Marinesk-eh2hh]

@@mikoajsobczak1837 my apologies

[@jasonjacoby]

Not to be confused with Mamushka.

[@brionl4741]

Matrioshka dolls commonly include a babushka.

[@yevgeniy720]

You're all still wrong.

[@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.

[@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

[@user-st1dw5jj4v]

​@@foreverfornever1124Did you get them?

[@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.

[@trevante4640]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@KleinRing]

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

[@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.

[@markhanson9508]

7:38 proof that Jay work flow is bestial. He made this video in 9th ed. The man is a machine!

[@markhanson9508]

oh and nick. sorry nick 😅

[@nubbis]

I've used the Centurion kit as a base for my Chaos Obliterators. Greenstuffed some mutated flesh bulging between the plates and then attach ALL the guns. No need for magnets. 😂

[@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.

[@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

[@chuckmaurice]

[@jadenxrpg1232]

"I am Adorable." - a very adornable centurion

[@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.

[@lord0shadow54]

Ngl this piece of information IMMEDIATELY changed my opinion on them. I love them now

[@tiberiumnp8030]

@@savagex466-qt1io No problem. The pose is actually replicated in the symbol on their right shoulder pad, if I remember correctly.

[@markhickson9087]

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.

[@Mr_Waffle.]

I initially guessed this would be Desolation marines, but I'm very happy with the results none the less, great stuff! They look properly big and powerful now.

[@fireangel35]

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

[@clinch4402]

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

[@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!

[@jeffhreid]

Great build Jay. The use of the for sale sign for inexpensive large format styrene is inspired.

[@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.

[@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! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@tedtarrant7375]

I do love them, the derp is endearing

[@finnon7460]

MAN! I've been looking forward for this video for ages! :D Yours look so good, thanks for sharing your process

Yayyy! My favorite minis are getting a makeover by my favorite painter/hobbyist!!

[@luxferre5546]

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

I absolutely love these guys and I went further than any other space marine model I’ve ever painted

[@warpwingminis]

Love your take on Centurions, thanks so much for the fantastic tutorial 🦾

[@cakalafatides]

Gotta love the Seinfeld reference! Haven't heard one from Jay in a minute, and I'm glad to hear it! Great video per usual, and I'd love to see more conversion videos from you guys! Perhaps Jay's take on the Agressors, as described in that hit-and-a-miss GW models video from a while ago?

[@dks6515]

Wow, awesome conversions! I'm just getting in to warhammer and it's so cool to see all the amazing things people do modeling/painting their miniatures. I haven't even painted my first miniature yet and i already want to try all this stuff out xD

[@XxXZamoXxX]

Wow..Nice Work .Always thought centurions looked a bit odd but the work you have done has changed my mind .Might pick up a set and get the saw out .

[@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!

[@MultiDemon123]

So glad to see someone else also love the Centurions! Cant wait to try out this myself!

[@slingshot19d]

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

[@willtreasure7029]

It's amazing how some subtle modifications really make the kits twice as good. Really, really nice video.

[@dracometeors3010]

Those are not subtle.

[@potatophantom9717]

I really like custom build and the base work! Gives me some good ideas. Time to get some milliput

[@steveharrison76]

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

[@SolomonWreath]

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

[@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

[@Madd_Dadd]

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.

[@1CaptainFunk1]

The centurion kit is one of my favourites. So many armour panels, pistons and other bits to use for conversion. I used a bunch for my 30k WE Praetor recently.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

I always thought they look cool. I love yours to. Such a good tip a unit that could get tar pit like the Centurions is good to outfit them with flamers.

[@h1vemind815]

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

[@anarchojazz]

Your presentation is so good! your flow is great and it feels like you should defo have a TV show of some kind

[@CptEregoth]

Wow amazing! How did you do those base tags at the end for the names??

[@jack1701e]

You're not doing me any favours in the 'I don't need another model kit I got dozens' department xD awesome work indeed!

[@d.t.m8393]

Now that's a nice conversion! 💯 Great video guide too.

[@GJJ68]

What grit sanding stick are you using to get such A smooth finish on the area your sanding mine does look that good when im done with it.

[@TheNoble117]

For your weapons, have you tried iyanden yellow contrast? It’s a yellow with an orange hue for the recessed areas it pools in.

[@apolonios01]

Awesome videos as always man...Keep up the great work.Question The name tags are 3d printed right?

[@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.

[@emilkautovaara8380]

I’ve been sitting on a centurion kit for a while now, I know what I’m gonna do with them after this vid!

[@LewisB3217]

Red for the trim also looks great on black Templar centurions, and lore friendly too as these marines are in the marshals house. Great models 💯

Nice one mate rly gave me the drill to get em aswell!. Onlything id like to see bit more of that hiparmor maybe chipped, but i can do it myself. Wouldve been boring otherwise

[@Annihilo]

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.

[@TrainorsTabletop]

I love the centurions so much I decided that I wasn't gonna magnetize mine so I could build more! I currently have 9 and always wanna build more

[@patykaarplegos6282]

[@kingarthurii5001]

If I ever get myself some Centurions for my Salamanders, I'm definently coming back to this video to make these modifications.

With this much conversion I always wonder - wouldn't 3D printing be better? There are alternatives from different sculptors

[@brandonphillips3825]

Best paint job I’ve seen on your channel! Unreal

[@Capin91]

Totally agree with your reasons for magnetizing kits like this, and I’d add Models I Don’t Like Much But Kinda Need to that category

[@Sgt40K]

How do you do the name plates? Do you have a video tutorial?

[@justinbryan9969]

I am sure this is answered in another video, but where do you get those name plates for your Black Templar? Please and thank you. I am interested in adding names to my Votann I am playing in a crusade!
