This man has almost single handedly inspired me to throw out the instructions of every kit I get and just do whatever the hell

[@LittleTemplar98]

Pls do !

Kit bashing is a verry fun process !!❤❤

[@jossypoo]

YES DO. I have only very rarely fucked things up beyond repair, and even then, there's always some characterization that comes along with explaining the missing bits.

[@santiagomartin4735]

​@@jossypoowhen we fuck things beyond repair it's only new steps to make grate basing bits for decoration XD

[@drewgensey3728]

The mud and trench were so well done, I’d love to see more videos featuring vehicles making their way through hostile terrain

[@snufkinsnufkin2528]

The base is amazing and the the whole model and kitbash too but I think a little bit of streaky grime would dirty rhe model a bit more and connect it more to the base

[@40K_Guy]

Looks sick, I think some guardsmen on the base would be great to demonstrate the cerastus's scale.

[@koelkast9]

Just some confused cadians looking up as this god of war rushes their foes

[@wreik]

I know there’s lots of projects to be done, but I feel like revisiting and remaking a Carcharadon killteam would be dope, similarly to how you did the Astra Primursa

[@RSouzaYuri]

YES! Our sharks deserve some more love

[@ryansandwich1086]

That's an awesome kit. I love how it allows you to either build the model easily or customize the pose as much as you like. Great video!

[@potatolord9715]

Can’t wait to see how it turns out Edit: Amazing paintjob as always, and I love what you did with the gun. This knight gets called a Titan a lot though which I thought was funny

[@Zakading]

Originally, before GW made them their own standalone army, all Knights were labeled "Knight Titans", and they technically still have that name.

[@queencyrys6309]

Also this thing’s as tall as a Warhound, it can have the name

[@Toxichobbit.]

@@Zakading There is no such thing as Knight Titans - it's like saying Astartes Custodes. It was some idiot on the internet about a decade ago(ish) who thought it sounded cool and unfortunately, it spread from there. But go back to Adeptus Titanicus in the early 90's when Knights and Titans were first created, they were two separate but oft allied forces and have been ever since.

[@Zakading]

@@Toxichobbit. Except the original Imperial Knight packaging literally listed "Imperial Knight Titan" as its contents.

[@Toxichobbit.]

@@Zakading Do you have a link to a photo for that? I've never seen any packaging referring to them as Knight Titans. They did use the same generic blister card backing as Titans for a while (which had a picture of a Reaver and just said Titans on it), but the label still referred to them by their Knight names, i.e. Paladin, Warden etc, and all the lore at the time differentiated them from Titans.

[@peterheinzo515]

one of the best knights ive seen. the trench is perfect.

[@ronaldclark4183]

Hi Pete! I’ve been binging your kitbash and conversion videos for last two months, and you’ve consistently impressed me with your skills and creativity. The Dornian Heresy models, Updated Character Conversions, or Total War Kitbashes are some of my favorites, and just so cool to watch come together. I’d love to see you make more for the Leagues of Hashut, or more Leagues of Votann builds in general.

[@sandyman3070]

I’d love to see you make more titans. I think a titan that has been taken over by Orks would be pretty sick. A Nurgle titan might also be cool.

[@chaplainfatty]

My happiness chart just goes ballistic whenever Pete posts a video

[@chaplainfatty]

I'm just imagining some kriegsmen in that trench scoffing at the knight's rider for not dying in a glorious suicidal 1v1

[@JJ-he6zg]

You should try to make a true scale Tyberos next because his old finecast model got discontinued.

[@durkee8823]

Could you do a episode of the prep that goes into making these? Like do you draw up what you are trying to achieve or just wing it?

[@Springtrap11556]

I just got my first Warhammer models two days ago, and I already want to get my hands on every Tyranid I can afford.

[@carolinanava3300]

I've learned a lot about how to paint mini from this channel. Thanks.

[@gabiballetje]

There are so many great bits to be found online, small armor plates for toes, larger for the sides and fronts of legs, extra leg extensions, not just longer but also an extra joint either way you want it, with their own fitting armor plates, torso extensions, shield, weapons, armor for arms, different heads and complete top armor plates that move the head to another location, ammo belts, new reactors and exhausts, so many awesome stuff, especially if you have a resin 3D printer yourself. If i could afford it i would go absolutely nuts with that.

[@seakr9838]

Great builds, clear comentary. Inspiring and no music! Well worth a subscribe, and binge watch. 5*

[@bioniccaliber7414]

I had an idea a little while ago with some buddies at my local hobby shop to build a Genestealer Cult Armiger, would love to see your take on the idea!! P.S. - I started this hobby back in January of this year, your videos are the reason I started kitbashing. I’m so glad I found this channel and just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me!

[@IdiotandOpinion]

I’ve always enjoyed kitbashing but this is the first video where I’ve wanted to copy literally everything about the model, the base with the foot sinking into the mud, the field guns instead of the lance it’s all amazing work!

[@praporbarton3961]

One of your best builds of all time, however I'd say the barrells of the gun could use some soot effect at the ends, as if it accumulated when the weapon was being fired

[@6-4crusader55]

I would love to see your take on a imperial guard vehicle! Maybe a surrogate name blade made of parts from macharius, leman Russ, and chimera models

[@leestride2285]

I managed to get one of these today, and I must say the piston-y bits are very well designed, wasn't sure how well it would translate from the resin models to this, but can comfortably say, they aren't a pain - in fact the model itself is a time consuming build but a satisfying one, very happy with how the build worked out - took about 2.5 hours - and I tend to build quite fast.

[@rileyernst9086]

I see what you were going for with the trench. I half want to do the same thing, but have the knight striding over a much narrower trench and have some regular troops in the trench cheering. A while ago I actually wrote a short bit of fiction with this very scene: Knights defending a manufacturing plant, sallying across the perimeter trenches(manned by regular troops and foot retainers and lesser knights) to attack into the teeth of an enemy assault(under the cover of a bombardment of smoke shells) to wreck some mechanised heretics in close quarters. It was to counter the enemy tactic of advancing with chimeras and armigers to flush the imperial knights out with russes on overwatch, and knights in reserve. My logic is that a tank squadron concentrating fire is going to knock down knight after knight. By employing tactical smoke the knights and russes were cut off from supporting the lighter units, the chimera borne troops were left to blunder confused through the smoke, the crews having much less chance of success in the sudden and brief encounters with the enemy in the thick smoke, it was an environment that favored a fully integrated, piloted warsuit and of course the powerful weapons mounted on said warsuits, the chaos armigers left isolated in pockets to face loyalist armigers(yeah no 'war dawgs' this story predates chaos knights kit by like 5 years) working in groups alongside their knights, so despite being unbelieably hardy the chaos armigers really lost out. The chaos knights did reach the melee, but often had to contend with having to face a loyalist knight head on, and it's armigers coming around the sides, fighting as a single unit, so despite their disgusting resilience they did not fare well(having your legs cut out from behind you will knock you on you're ass, and from there they will just dismantle you).

[@theGazzer]

Pete, would you ever be down to see what you could do with the Pacifc Rim mechs? Seeing a kit - bashed, 40k lore accurate (maybe dreadnought style?) Gypsy Danger or Cherno Alpha could be cool. Or, maybe you could do a Tyranid version of some of the Kaijus from the movie

[@halfcrafted]

Fantastic stuff! Love the panel and decal weathering in this build and the base work, love a detailed base. Generally really great work theming this build so it's unique but also matches the sponsor well.

[@max16]

so what i found works REALLY well for rust of larger metal parts is watering down the dirty down alot and using it like a wash. the DD that pools will create deeper rust but the stuff of the serface will make an almost soft rust glaze thats really good.

[@ironxYT]

You are quite honestly one of the most creative and coolest people in this community. This was insanely good

[@LegoTardisArchives]

I love your content and ever since I met you during the hobby challenge at the Open day a few months ago I also love you as a person

[@daveeol1987]

Such a great sense of movement. The mechanical back view is glorious Ave imperator

[@rosymaple4203]

Every time I watch a UK wargamer make conversions, I know it's going to end up looking like some alt-history WW1. It looks fantastic and your voice is so smooth.

[@connorshaw-case6030]

Brilliant as ever would love to see a whole little regiment of a imperial army in more realistic fatigues and.colour scheme

[@denlocaltis5541]

I opted to put my lancer in a battlefield scenario as well for the base. I tried making him look as though he were walking through a battlefield with extra Aegis Defense Line walls in the middle and 3 Kriegers from the Kill Team box running underneath the Knight.

[@cerisekappes580]

Awesome awesome awesome!!!!! The model is mind blowing amazing and the base makes him larger than life!!!

[@ZIMinvadesU]

I would love to see some ork vehicle kit bashes. Maybe even go the ork pirate route with a larger vehicle with the crew.

[@goliath4802]

[@thepcbrothers4152]

That looks absolutely awesome

[@toasthammer]

Absolutely love how the posing and basing turned out! Super flavorful :D

[@Crucible_streams]

Here is the lore : Ultramarines had just left a battle but left two soldiers behind. For many days, those soldiers walked endlessly but fainted before finding help. Luckily, they were found by people who seemed like dragons but had a much more humanoid body shape

[@SpensPainting]

Awesome work on this mate! Love it!

[@benjackson8731]

First of all, amazing job, leagues better than anything i could do. One thing that slightly bothered me when it came to the reveal was that the duck boards underneath where the right foot would have been were too intact. Maybe could have had them splintered up a bit/ crushed/ pushed into the ground? Currently it feels like some 2x4 got rolled over by a tank but actually looks like its fresh off the shelf.

[@user-qg4st8ih1d]

This looks really great! I’ve been reticent about doing a knight because I want to do a similar (ish) historical-inspired scheme, but thought the trim being the same colour would look a bit off. After seeing this, though, it seems like it can still be made to look great after all!

[@waynegoddard4065]

Excellent stuff. The pose is brilliantly dynamic. Bravo

[@OrdoGriseo]

Knights have always occupied a weird place in my head. Bigger than a tank or dreadnought, but smaller than a titan. Never got round to getting one but I definitely would take some inspiration from this if one ends up on my hobby table

[@NicPTheMeme]

I have 4. They're a BITCH to paint w a brush but DAMN is it worth it

[@Glynniatures]

Would love to see you make a more modern military themed Dreadnought for your raptors.

[@jackofn0trades29]

Man I love it when mechs with all this Crazy ornamentation and visuals nonsense are converted into something that is more utilitarian, it makes them more immersive. I love to do this with my gundam and a drab green replacing that toy-like blue just gets me every time!

[@FierceGK1]

If you're looking for more vehicle or larger kitbashes to do, I would LOVE to see a kitbash of a dreadnought or even your take on improving the look of the Invictor warsuit!

[@Synaesthesie12]

I am always amazed of your conversion skills and afterwards the quality of the paint job. I believe my Iron Warriors need a Knight Interitus now.

[@porkchop4401]

Thats badass. Totaly would have that on a shelf to collect dust

[@Mickeehansson]

such a nice kitbash, like allways your videos are amazing, maybe do some more titans? they are expensive but the endresult is allways so amazing

[@the_yuty]

It looks amazing, I think the trench might be a bit too wide for my taste, but it still looks amazing; very true to ww1 warfare

[@jossypoo]

3:50 for locking a position, i use a tiny dab of bluetack in all of the the joints, i then isolate a given limb, mark tbe position, remove blue tack (low crumbs) and glue in place.

[@lamicrobio...engros5427]

I really enjoyed it ! mainly the base I was looking for a tutoial for this kind of base for a futur project

[@johnstrelley3917]

I would love to see what you could do with some of the old space marine bikes.

[@wpb5876]

Amazing stuff! With AC6 coming out soon, it’ll be fun to kitbash some custom mechs

[@xTheZapper]

Tamiya thin isn't really meant for painting over areas like that, you're meant to hold the joins together then touch the brush to the thin gap and let it wick in. If you need to splosh it over a large area get the thick one or the Revell one with the needle applicator.

[@chris.replay]

There's a kitbash idea I've been flirting with for a while now, just haven't got the model needed for it. A Dark Angels "Deathwing" themed Brutalis Dreadnought. Give it a big sword (I'm planning on using a spare Grey Knights Nemesis Dreadknight sword). Basically just make it a Dreadnought sized Deathwing terminator lol Love your content, you've certainly inspired many of my kitbashes!

[@rosasakura4172]

This was a awsome build. Im recreating the base and pose But am useng a acreon instead

[@nikpapado9785]

Great job! I don't know if I have missed it, but could you possibly add a clip of the complete conversion before you start painting? Thanks!

[@asiburger]

I'd love to see the entirely soulless looking Primaris vehicle range get a huge flair overhaul.

[@foreverfornever1124]

Gotta grab the Archeron when it drops. These knights are giving me real gunpla vibes

[@gallusdomesticuskfptechpriest]

great idea for the base, it worked great for such a tall knight

[@och70]

This was fantastic. I'd love to see more builds like it.

[@rupertjones5197]

That’s wicked man, you’re so talented and without a doubt the best in the business

[@sneakyseeker2326]

Seeing Your interpretation of Cult Tenebrous the nurgle corrupted genestealer cult mentioned in the codex would be cool, not many conversions of it exist.

[@darrak95]

What a great mini! I've been wanting to tackle a big project like this myself with a Drukhari inspired Wraithknight, but I'm not quite sure I'm up to it just yet. Keep doing what you're doing man!

[@davydatwood3158]

I find your narration to be just the right mix of engaging and soothing to have in the background while I do other tasks; I find I often learn about some technique I want to give a try on my own figures; and of course, your final results are just pleasant to see. But god *damn* are your figures expensive at the end of the day! I'm sure that you get a lot of product supplied to you in exchange for featuring it here, so I expect there's practical limits on what you can do - but I'd personally enjoy an exploration of how to take more budget friendly models like, say, historical armoured vehicle kits or even dollar store toys, and and tweaking them to look like they belong on a 40K battlefield. Preferably in a way that doesn't assume the builder has a huge stash of leftover bits from years of building official models. :)

[@roochman]

I'd love to see you do a chaos knight kitbash!

[@borisdorofeev5602]

Man that looks fantastic

[@Politov]

Love this scheme, even if a small part of my mind wants it to have gold trim! The construction tips are going to be excellent when I get my knight project going! Thanks! The scheme for the metal bodies is very similar to what I was thinking I'd do. Now I know it'll look great!

[@brennonr]

Really impressed with this one. It’s inspiring

[@mba02191]

Absolutely amazing

[@Frostyeel]

My instict would be to add pins around the hips and knees, to make up for the clipped tabs reducing the strength a bit. Does the model feel sturdy enough with just plastic glue holding the lower body together?

[@patrickg3759]

Oh no, now I need to strip my knight army and redo it like this 😭 love this theme and execution is top notch as always

[@AdamFox-el4rr]

An outstanding build and tutorial. Very inspirational, especially the base and pose!

[@davidatkins9793]

Great another model for my list to eventually get.

[@isisnmagic1812]

Stunning video, great work on the kitbash and amazing trench.

[@Biggles369]

I always enjoy your conversions Pete, but this was a cracking conversion. It matches more how I would see knights being used and the pose is brilliantly realistic. You have also given me ideas for my Warhound titan. It would be great to see this theme extended to Imperial Guard regiment. I know Krieg are already along that theme, but they are very Germanic, whereas this knight was more themed along the lines of British / American.

[@larsdenhertog]

Great video! I really like the base, I feel like the inside of the trench is lacking some details like crates for example. Or anything else.

[@PearlJam2k6]

I havent build anything 40k in about a decade by now (kind of gave up over time), but i keep eyeing the Knight kits because like you said, who doesnt love giant robots? Im surprised how well designed they look however, especially on the posing options where just clipping a tab is enough. I like the idea of a siege knight pattern, it makes sense too to have something thats there for close troop support, basically a Demolisher Russ or Hellhound on legs. Bit surprised however you didnt paint the inside of the plates with some black or dry brushe steel.

[@adamannt3761]

only halfway through the video but already love the concept and looking forward to the reveal

[@TearsOfBlo0d]

I would love to see you do a chaos corrupted knight in the future, with your skills im sure you could manage something rather epic :)

[@ElvesofZion]

I love the GW Knight with real world 20th century Armour vibe

[@xGamermonkeyx]

Absolutely amazing build as always, this must have taken ages and I really appreciate the dedication! Thinking about future vehicle builds, I'd love to see you take on something like a Tau Hammerhead and see how you'd tackle making it really different feeling to usual Tau designs that have such a specific aesthetic to them normally.

[@Johnny350Z]

I just love the line "I decided to make my knight look like a Brittish tank, so were going to use US Olive Drab" hehehe

[@leestride2285]

One thing I would love to see, is a diorama similar to the cover of Saturnine - a minor kitbashed Angron (sans wings and sword) and a rubble strewn base.

[@digitalgungnir6480]

With GW not having any wracks or grotesques available for Drukari, it'd be cool to see you to some kitbashing for them.
