Iron Patriarchs | Homebrew Space Marine Chapter Conversion

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I saw "Homebrew Space Marine" in the title and I clicked the link, I was not disappointed. Great work on this! I love how raw his appearance is and the tidbit about the cybernetics replacing frostbitten limbs is a great touch.

[@kitbosh]

Thanks! That's such a massive compliment coming from you. I've been a huge fan of your work for years now.

[@pokinfunatcartman]

Pete the Wargamer and Kitbosh? What is this, a crossover episode? 🤣

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

Maybe you should do a crossover and paint the iron patriarchs! Then we’d be able to see these guys fully fleshed our.

[@geronimo8159]

What is this, a *crossover episode* ?

[@Rhysman30]

@@plaidpvcpipe3792 Yes! I need to see Kitbosh's awesome conversions painted.

[@EndChineseGenocide]

I really want you to start painting. There are so many techniques that are beginner friendly, and seeing someone not be a 20 year veteran of the hobby paint something might be a little refreshing. You've got some of the best kitbashed models in the game

[@AshleyBlackwater]

Seconding this. The conversions look great, would be nice to see them painted.

[@lucafenech6894]

it feels unfinished without being painted

[@PlussGoodFun]

"true scale thicker thighs" so you're saying that IRL the Marines should be dummy thicc?

[@kitbosh]

Yup. It is known.

[@KillerOrca]

The lore has always noted they are DUMMY THICC.

“oh, the infiltration was going well until brother Damarius’s dummy thicc thighs started clapping! Be he damned!” - Vox-logs of some Alpha Legion traitor marine, probably.

Hah, it totally does. I get in modes and tend to work on one range all at once. Luckily I have some videos backlogged so I'm trying to release them in a more even rotation.

[@fildwebble2424]

Fantastic conversion work, and might I say this guy has given me quite a few ideas for my own Iron Hands successor chapter, I especially love the use of the tartaros torso and green stuff fur, really adds to the brutally utilitarian look!

[@flysteel288]

Recent subscriber here, discovered your videos last Friday. I'm bad at painting, but your kitbashed minis are so evocative, I would love to throw paint on these bad boys! Edit: And girls!

[@optimusWII]

I really like how the tartarus chest looks on this model. I do miss the 360° spin of the primed model. It helps me to see the model in its entirety instead of as individual components and details.

[@samr6939]

Love this conversion. Amazing job. Id love to see you collab with one of the mini-painters to see what your creations would look like in full color. Im a personal fan of goobertown hobbies and I know he enjoys collaborating. Either way your content is awesome and I cant wait to see more of this chapter

[@euansmith3699]

"Among the Silent Warriors Chapter, from the frozen world of IC Kull, the final challenge in their initiation is to lick the flag pole in the centre of the parade ground. Any Marine whose tongue isn't torn off by contact with the sub-zero metal is granted a command position."

This is so cool your videos are so well put together and for me at least super interesting and got me into kitbashing some necrons

[@yaboifenris8689]

You deserve more subscribers, this is so cool!!!!

[@snowcraft-d3d]

I love this model. I actually do have a Homebrew Chapter, and even got Pete the Wargamer to make their Chapter Master; the Angels Repentant; sons of Dorn from the tundrous Civilised World of Kaldoris. A large, cold world orbiting at the outer limits of its star’s habitable zone, the icy, boreal world’s fortress-monastery sits at the planets northern pole; where temperatures drop to as low as -180c during the winter, only rising to -90c during the peak of the summer season. The planet’s cold nature makes for a hardy people. Kaldoris shares its star with the Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World Khorus. Khorus orbits significantly closer to the system’s star than Kaldoris, making is a considerably warmer, wetter world; in which deadly jungles choke the land not yet cleared out for additional forges to produce Imperial weaponry and machines. The extremely close proximity of the Forge World and Chapter Homeworld provides a mutually beneficial relationship between the planets; The Angels Repentant have easy access to large quantities of freshly produced wargear, and the Tech Priests of Khorus have a powerful ally only a proverbial stones’ throw away. This arrangement suits both the Forge World and Angels Repentant well, and the two planets have formed a firm bond of partnership, as seen when the Angels Repentant deployed half of the chapter’s forces to Khorus during an Ork incursion onto both worlds during 021.M42. During times of conflict and emergency, the Chapter takes direct control of the planet and its militaries, as to better repel invading forces. During the Invasion of Kaldoris and Khorus in 021.M42., Space Marines were seen commanding vast numbers of planetary defence forces across the planet; Astartes and humans alike. They're also an almost-all-Primaris Chapter, after an unfortunate Crusade went awry. Only one Firstborn Astartes remains in the entire chapter; entombed within a Dreadnought chassis.

[@kitbosh]

I remember that conversion; it turned out awesome. And that's some great lore, very thought out.

[@snowcraft-d3d]

@@kitbosh Thanks! I've actually been working on other HQ units since. I now have three Chaplains for the Angels Repentant, and a Librarian. My Librarian will be their Chief Librarian, and my last kitbash will be my Master of Sanctity. Soon, I intend to add a Apothecary, and Techmarine, to my forces. I also intend to name every single marine in my force, and give them a personal history. My Chapter Master is Caius Verrucosus. Gaius Helvidius claims the title of Master of Sanctity, and Adonis Bellicia is my Chief Librarian.

[@smoinplog4673]

i love the idea of spacemarines mixed with iron golems. hiney silver metal covered in vines.

[@scalenetriangles2520]

great video! Out of curiosity, even though you've said you don't paint your minis, do you ever just prime them to unify the colours?

[@XArctracerX]

You should do a conversion of a centruion for the iron patriarchs You could also do another marine Kitbash using the double servo arms holding a hammer from a necromunda kit I saw

[@euansmith3699]

Starting off with a Contemptor Dreadnought as a base ;)

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

This reminds me of the Sturgians from Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord.

[@thiccthorson]

The cybernetic fist could be a count-as power fist

[@Matt-md5yt]

I was thinking that, I think it is in the Necromunda game as one. not too sure though

[@tenletters5889]

6:23 alright I'll bite, here's a bit of lore about my homebrew I'm working on. Born in the 3rd founding and reforged in the 24th, the Imperial Corsairs have stalked the void for millennia. Untrusted for their numerous undocumented raids on Imperial aligned worlds they often face hostility from all but the most forgiving elements of the Imperium, even losing their homeworld Navau to an "Inquisitorial oversight". In truth the captaincy of the Imperial Corsairs wishes for nothing more than to be free from service but for fear of annihilation must keep up relations with powerful elements of the imperium.

[@xxXm0RpH3usXxx]

Hey man, really love your conversion videos! Please keep up the awesome content! One thought I had: You don't paint your models, but I was wondering if maybe at least getting an airbrush and priming your models in a grey, would make some come together more in the end. Like , it would look a lot more "together" than "kitbashed", if that makes any sense.

[@crabbyink9849]

By making them true scale, they look like giants which is a really cool effect

[@Plasmathedeathjester]

Instead of Soviet style I think go white army solors with mostly white torsos arms heads and shoulder pads and macragge blue shoulder pad trims, reactors, legs and helmets for sergeants

[@kitbosh]

Hm, I could definitely see that working if it's a kind of dirtied and chipped white.

[@DAMIENDICE]

He looks great! Good job!

[@thelizardmen8331]

I’m confused how do you only have 6k? Your amazing!

[@silas9673]

You should totally hire someone to do the painting if you don’t like doing it yourself, I would LOVE to see how all these would look fully painted

[@madmanvarietyshow9605]

Personally I'd paint these guys like this: Prime in black Mix black and a darker steel color Overbrush that all over the armor White fur like some kind of polar animal Medium blue on the pauldron because it's a cool (pun intended in both ways) color. The only thing that they paint. The rest is just dark steel. Skin whatever color Wash twice with nuln oil except face which gets a wash in Howlsbane Curse (half agrax earthshade half reikland fleshshade) to warm it up a bit. Then get some of that original dark steel mix and sponge some of it on places where it might have gotten scraped against something to simulate wear. Highlight areas that might look good highlighted to increase contrast. Base with valhallan blizzard, wash that with a very light blue wash, then drybrush some white on it. Probably could finish up that paint job in about 2 or 3 hours or so including drying time.

[@Plasmathedeathjester]

I have a homebrew tyranid hive fleet called sunnray thats a splinter of kronos. And if I wasn't broke I would try make a harpy but with mortarion moth wings

[@victorcruz3129]

Awesome dude keep doing ur thing, its fucking lit

[@Silverdragon83X]

Skulpting Pelt and Fur is easier than you'd expect: Simply make the shape of the part with a bigger part of Green Stuff and then start to "fray" the pelt from the bottom to the upper part. Work with a sharp knife with a slim blade, so you can fray the green stuff out part for part, to make it look like real wild hair. If you work from the bottom to the top with that technique, these hair can be layed wildly over each other to get more volume...

[@TitanOfDarkness25]

FOR THE EMPEROR AND THE MOTHERWORLD!!!

[@kitbosh]

Hah, that's awesome

[@TitanOfDarkness25]

@Only Death ah thx will fix

[@neilkirkley1500]

Thanks for another awesome video mate, yeah I reckon a heavily weathered terracotta or brick type red with perhaps yellow accents and dull gunmetal metalics would be an awesome scheme for these guys, especially in the grim dark style.

[@kitbosh]

That's a good color scheme, it would add a nice flair

[@TabooZombie]

Please paint this. I'm super excited for the color scheme

[@Velasc]

I hope my man will post painted models somewhere of these amazing conversions

[@theonlyenicfanever5346]

I’d be super interested to see you attempt some Death Guard or Nurgle kitbashes!

[@peddlershat6840]

I feel like instead of wolf pelt, it should maybe be chainmail draped over his shoulders for it to fit more with the Gothic shoulder

[@georgekyrou5284]

I would love to see these conversions painted, but some primer and a zenithal highlight would do for now

[@theaustralianknight7769]

I play my own chapter the Albion Knights they are currently all from the horus heresy since a choas sorcereress saw them on prowl for Abbadon so she sealed them away. How each member joins this chapter is they are high born, like knights; and they are raised by servitors till they are 14 years of age they are given to a marine to learn from them. Once the boy reaches the age of 21 they are given a normal sword and put in a arena with another soon to be marine and the goal is to cut off a limb of the other. The winner will go on to become a marine while the loser with have the limb replaced and forced to fight again till they eventually get turned into a servitor Each member takes up a knightly vow and each of them uses a prefered weapon. They are now back on the hunt for Abbadon after getting back into real space after 8'000 years of being in the warp, the mutation they had was to grow bigger than usual marines and to become inflamed with rage seeing choas marines Named characters so far Arthurius Percivalius Galahad Lancer Merlandus

[@AshleyBlackwater]

Looks awesome! Mk3 space marine bits might be better for stuff like the shoulders and helmets (and maybe backpacks) if you wanted to make a whole army of these guys. Probably limiting the Terminator chests to squad leaders and characters. Iron hands upgrade sprues would probably be useful to. Lore is neat to :D

[@Therealblacktux]

Just some CC if you sliced more off the intercessors torso the Tartarus pattern would have looked less out of place and short as the torso was a tad tall

[@douglasfree1664]

if you were ever going to paint them id suggest using the seafoam green that was used on old soviet industrial sites. It looks really good when you use chipping and rust effects under it and its also a much subtler nod to the "space Russian" theme.

[@AtheistPhoenix]

Cool vid might use this as a base for a iron warriors model. Been wanting a lord with that raised front plate coming from the chest.

[@wierdling928]

i would do a snow camo if a painted it so light grays and white. it wouldn't look amazing it would be mostly monochrome but it suits the lore

[@tarmok3756]

needs more ORKS

[@leeperry7068]

Agreed with the comments about wishing you would start painting, but if nothing else I think you need to grab at least a cheap airbrush for doing a better primer coat on these for the final shots. Your modeling is really excellent, your creativity is awesome, your knowledge of where to pull parts from is great, but the final shots never do the work justice IMO.

[@SadGibbon]

Maybe priming the mini will get rid of the mossy effect? Anyway really nice to see true scale marines, they look so much imposing.

[@RagnarTheGrey]

I really dig your conversions my guy, but can I make a suggestion? Prime the model when you're done. It ties all of the changes together, and makes the model look cohesive to a viewer.

[@jacobdelatorre9147]

[@Swedsman]

I know you don't paint your models and I totally respect that decission, though I'd suggest for future builds maybe consider spraying them grey or a similar unison color? It makes it much easier to see the build as a whole, I've always found the bright colour of milliput and greenstuf distracting and it makes it hard to envission the model as a single piece. Just an idea :)

[@kitbosh]

Thanks! I've definitely thought about it.

[@theticksquad8218]

dude, p a i n t, t h e s e

[@Zilten_]

I think a good colour scheme for them would be Red with gunmetal trim, and have a simple white star as an insignia. I think it would still convey that russian look without being too meme-y

[@ScratchBashing]

Your choice of bits is really superb. I love the lore as well. One critique would be that in your effort to enlarge his torso, I think it ended up making is legs look a bit... dwarfy.

[@MrLocurito]

maybe some of the Iron Patriarcs are fond in melee more than in Bolter fire... or maybe there's 1 melee Patriarch per unit, also, grayish armor and bronce trims could look simplistic enough for the chapter, and the pelts could be to help keep the heat incide the armor.

[@Gus-dj1ub]

The finished model before it’s primed kinda reminds me of an iron golem.

[@lordinquistorrayn1249]

A dark kraken gravis armour terminator take would be a awesome to see ypu tackle in a video

[@JohnathanJWells]

I feel like it's hard to judge the conversion with only bare plastic and miliput on it. In the past you used to prime them for the end section, maybe you can keep doing something like that? Maybe instead of doing black and white zenithal, you can try priming them with black and a zenithal highlight of the base color you intend for them, so the details are visible but the chopping is much more seamless. Since you've mentioned you don't like painting, that is.

[@enclavecomms.officer5219]

The only real gripe I have about this one is the arm, it's a pet peeve of mine when the arm is posed like that in a stepping movement. More importantly, I feel like a color palate of desaturated cobalt-ish blues for the plates, dark browns for the under suit, and bright, vibrant reds for the trim would be a nice utilitarian scheme. Also, a nice dirty white for the pelt would help to ground them in the winter environment.

[@kitbosh]

That actually sounds awesome, thanks for the suggestion.

[@enclavecomms.officer5219]

@@kitbosh Another one that could work is replacing the reds with yellows to emulate caution stripes. Or hell, just use actual caution stripes. It just depends whether you're going for more war-utilitarian or more worker-utilitarian.

One question is what is the battle cry for the iron patriarchs, something like “ glory in death! Honour in victory!” or something like that.

I imagined them fighting in grim silence, but someone in the comments suggest "for the emperor and the motherland" which is kind of great.

Looks good, but unlike your Ork conversions that can fit in with your existing Orky army, Marine conversions like these tend to only be useful as display models or in a Deathwatch force unless you're actually going to convert at least a couple of squads and heroes for a small force..

[@maynardshellie6897]

i get it there your chapter but a rule in art is size with this one you needed to lower the chest and instead of the paste for the legs use plasic circles everything else is more than fine

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

I think a good color scheme could be pale blue and silver.

[@angelsantiago7712]

If you wanted to help me out with my chaos warband, I'd love it if you tried to make a take at a vampire looking chaos character or something. So far I've only really thought of using the Abhorrant Archregent as a base for a chaos lord conversion, Celestine body to make a sorta more upper class vampire aesthetic for another chaos lord (I actually just finished making it and feel hella proud of it), and Drycha for a Demon Princess just cause I feel like with the right paint job and conversion work I can detract from the nature aesthetic and pull attention towards her humanoid body and make it slightly vampy. But past these three HQs I can't really think of anything, and I'd want something that could help reinforce that theme in my infantry roles.

[@angelsantiago7712]
