How I: Convert & Kitbash Miniatures

[@jayhassan976]

This is by far the best video on kit bashing and conversions thank u so much for simplifying such a great process

[@SunChaserXVII]

"Don't be afraid to make mistakes" is exactly the advice I needed - I've been stuck for a while with conversions that ended up too similar to the base models, and it's because of being too cautious. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to make this! I remember seeing your Evil Sunz on a Warhammer Community article some time ago, they're a big inspiration.

i know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me

[@jaylendevon4104]

@Ryder Julien thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@jaylendevon4104]

@Ryder Julien it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@ryderjulien1557]

@Jaylen Devon Glad I could help :)

[@atlas6538]

wow that orc boss conversion is so good that i want an orc army now

[@charlesbuttrum6350]

Atlas *pushes up scrap glasses* “dems is ORKZ”

[@Dw0rG]

I'm new to the hobby, and since Orks is my first Armee choice, i stumbled upon ur channel a couple of months back. And i must say: in terms of helpfullness and educatiion and improving my painting skill(z), your vids are by far(!) the best I've encountered. This Kitbashing Video is a great example of just how to do a hobby video right imo. I greatly enjoy every video u put out man, and im truly greatfull ur putting this much work into them. Thank You for ur effort, ur helping newbies like myself alot!!

[@QuarterPaint]

This makes me so happy to hear! This is exactly why I make the videos that I can. I came back to the hobby a few years ago and the online communities helped me a ton. I wanted to join in and put some of what I do and know out there to help inspire others getting into the hobby. Thanks for the support and if you are ever looking for feedback feel free to hit me up on Instagram 👍

[@sologamer8518]

This video was best I found for examples of kit bashing, and was better than a lot of bigger sponsored channels as well.

[@zakhoskins6404]

Great tutorial. I'd only add one minor thing. It's probably not an issue for Orkz since there's enough surface area to attach bits to. However, I'm a nids player, and I've found that for certain models (namely genestealers) Blue Stuff may not be strong enough to hold everything in place. You have an arm that's still relatively large, but a relatively much smaller joint, and often you want it raised into the air like it's about to strike either when you're test fitting or if you like to zenithal undercoat and then paint in sub-assemblies. In such a case, learning to pin your minis can really help. It's a pain because it's an extra step, but it may be worth it if you want to do conversions or paint to a higher standard.

Man, that war boss is bad ass! He's got soo much going on. I'm just properly getting into to building and painting, you give me lots of ideas for builds. I am only building and paintig orks! I dont want to play, just enjoy making what I can imagine to be honest using GW and Kromelech bits along. Just wish I had as many bits as you haha!

[@X.davidWilliams]

#66 Huzzah! Great advice Buddy! Going to start using them.

[@jorgeclarkson4639]

Good to know I'm not the only one when it comes to bitz, I have to try and organise every year or so.

[@Wildboar_WG]

A really great video, this really get the kitbash fires burning

[@QuarterPaint]

I love to hear that! Thanks for the support!

[@IDICBeer]

Nice video fella and some lovely work

[@QuarterPaint]

Thanks so much!

[@jojocreatesmonsters]

Orks (or Orcs in general) is my favorite army since it fits the aesthetic of my builds. And I happen to stumble upon your channel, these are great tips Quarter Paint! I subscribed to your channel 😀 Greetings from a fellow craftsman!

[@BeastnBrushes]

this was really helpful and truly awesome. That bike made my jaw drop to the floor xD

[@beerhammer40k23]

Love the trophy poles on the war boss 👍

[@codywebb8572]

Amazing video. Thank you for the inspiration 👍

[@QuarterPaint]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the support!

[@BeastnBrushes]

really nice video mate. Awesome conversion too

[@elliotjoyce5854]

That orc warboss is tasty! I want it!

[@DreadWaaaghGaming]

Great video dude! Very useful for beginners!

[@QuarterPaint]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@callsign_freeze621]

Do more of these videos because they are so inspirering

[@projectbiology5726]

Kit bashing and converting is definitely my favourite part of 40k. My best project was probably converting a tech priest dominos into dark mechanicus daemon prince.

[@nicholasvinkler1635]

This is amazing!! Great work! Earned my like and sub! Look forward to watching more

[@ImposCoE]

Wooooooooow, looks so good!

[@madluper]

Finally, new video! And with orks!

[@QuarterPaint]

It has been a while! Thanks for the support !

[@Slenkamure]

inspiration also comes from different methods, some people have better luck with a big old trash fire bit box to rummage through

[@HeartBeatSimple]

Oh man, I was afraid you ain't gonna make no more yt videos! Keep it up, boss!

[@QuarterPaint]

Im just really slow and short on time! hah! Thanks for the support

[@Rosarosa106]

This is awesome man! Any tips of getting back into painting? I’ve been procrastinating like crazy painting up my dark eldar 😓

[@QuarterPaint]

Being excited about what you are painting helps. I sprinkle in random paint projects to keep things interesting and to get to try new things. Hence the random goblin or Eldar mini on my IG feed. I would also make sure your paints are accessible and ready. If you have to set up or clean up every time you get the urge to paint it might kill that initial drive. Lastly if you can, make painting a habit. Do a little each day, even if it’s for 10 mins. Often times the hardest part is just getting started, but once it’s part of a routine you’ll find yourself missing it if you don’t do it 👍

[@mememaster42O]

my right ear appretiated this

[@sergeantb708]

I slap so many random things on my orks, and it works! Because they believe it does. Why not have a shoota target on my shoulder plate?

[@mikolaikoronkiewicz9754]

What kit did you get that sick head from?

[@DrDuck7700]

You got a album of all your work?

[@QuarterPaint]

My Instagram feed contains all my work over the last few years: instagram.com/quarterpaint/?hl=en If you arn't an instagram guy i can be found on reddit as halfof1half, however I have not posted as much as to my IG account : www.reddit.com/user/Halfof1half

[@evilldead6824]

what sort of tack to u use to test fit bits (what brand?)

[@QuarterPaint]

Blu Tack by Bostik

[@druggedoutpennokio6413]

where did you get those horns

[@karl4006]

Where do you get these parts?

[@batman9592]

He's spent about $1000 to make this one model. Get some cereal box and scissors instead.

[@nekrataali]

With Orks, you can do a lot with sheet styrene/plasticard and 2-part modeling epoxy (greenstuff, milliput, etc.). Having the extra bitz laying around from GW kits is nice, but it's understandable you're not going to have a lot of them if you're just getting into the hobby. I'd recommend stocking up on various plasticards in different shapes/sizes, most of which can be found at your local train hobby store for cheap (like $1.99 for a pack of three 6"x4" 3mm thick sheets). You also want to keep an eye out for recycled materials, especially for things made from plastic styrene (which is the type of plastic most miniatures are made out of). Throwing out some electronics? Pull out all the small pieces. Twist ties from the grocery? Strip the paper off and use the metal as wiring. Find some weird doodad under the sofa at your grandma's? Steal that shit and chop it up into something Orky.

[@s.k4713]

You generate a lot of bits as you build models as a lot of ork kits come with a wide variety of spare parts. You can technically achieve the same effect with stuff like plasticard but imo it doesn’t look as good.

[@rousselalexandre1653]

si un de vous veut je donne une armé non monté de tyranide classic (big big big free army)

[@KillerOrca]

I realized I brainstorm without meaning too

[@korkad_]

A QP vid? Aw yee

[@QuarterPaint]

I know it’s been a while! I’m hoping to put together a few over the summer months 😁

[@0Gorbachop0]

If I didn't have my tools in order I'd kill myself, that bit box gave me anxiety xD Thanks for the video ;D

[@RotaFury]

Going into one of my first real kitbashing challenges (my and a friend agreed on trading boxes to challenge each other). I am thankful for this video a lot of great advice and encouragement. As a note boxes i was given are Chaos legionnaire, Beast snagga orks, and Fanatics So i am making me some Chaos ork's! or maybe Khaos boy's better name for e'm.

[@davengerful]

Step 3 says Orangize.

[@QuarterPaint]

Oh god that’s embarrassing. Really should proof read the caption work 😆

[@danielhammer619]

You paint like a fucking god.

[@renmomo3510]

not very useful for me (i have a father who was teaching me converting since i was about 8, i am 19 now), but it will be very useful for my boyfriend who is just getting into the hobby, so thank you for making this video :)

[@maxhartford3416]

WAAAAGH!!!

[@QuarterPaint]

Waaaaagh!!!
