[@AshleyBlackwater]

@@Blabzcrow Seconding this. The new models look really good, but still miss out on many notable characters in the series (Tonna Cridd, Agun Soric, and Dorden come to mind)

[@arx1381]

This is my favourite to date now. He looks so powerful by pose and painting alone even without the usual black and gold adornments of standard chaplain armour. Very impressive and that skull changed everything.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you! I was a little unsure of how he would turn out after I had removed some of the more inconic chaplain aspects but I think it was important to keep him on theme with the rest of the squad.

[@arx1381]

@@PeteTheWargamer it does work well and a huge gold halo and Crozius would not fit with the theme. The black skull and dark weapons still add to his look.

[@williamings773]

A Raptors Bladeguard Veteran would be a fine future addition. I like your tactical rendition of the more baroque chapter role and it would be cool to see more examples.

[@chae7684]

That would be cool I'd imagine it'd have something a bit more functional and less ornate for a shield like the breacher shields from heresy. maybe use the sword lieutenant from dark imperium as a base model as it's less ornate than actual bladeguard so would fit the theme of the kill team better

[@PeteTheWargamer]

@@chae7684 This is pretty much spot on the direction I would take. It would lean more into a style close to Montagne from Rainbow Six: Siege.

That skull helmet is such a brilliant conversion, so subtle but works amazingly

[@breadmoment7018]

You should kitbash new Swooping Hawks next. Love how the Striking Scorpions turned out.

[@tomgeytenbeek2207]

Even as a religious person the idea of marines needing to bring along a counsellor for moral support never quite sat right with me, until I found your channel, discovered how fun kit-bashing was and tried to re-approach my neglected indomitus chaplain with new eyes and make something I was genuinely proud of. Nowadays, Gary marches into battle alongside my marine lads, holding a clunky, 41st-millennium iPod shuffle aloft in his hand. He is in charge of the tunes playing through the marines helmet in battle- because a good song makes everything more fun. In moments of particular import, he strategically blasts the most motivational anthems he has on hand, urging even the stubborn Astartes to be just a little more killy- Gary has learnt the power of the ancient tracks of the ‘Doom soundtrack’ in particular. Cheers for teaching me the ropes and joys of converting with these videos you make- I would have never made Gary without them, and seeing him hold his music player aloft never ceases to give me a silly grin knowing that I genuinely turned my chaplain into the chapter’s beloved battle-DJ. I went from being mortified at the idea of trying to cut apart and reassemble the minis I’d just bought, and petrified by my lack of experience, to having the time of my life and crafting the silly little story of Gary, the brother in charge of the music. So thank you- it really means a lot :)

[@sirkelendor5429]

Damn. Just damn. Brilliant mate.

[@sekliley7587]

Amazing conversion, really makes me want to start my own kill team, but I feel a crozius arcanum or maybe decorating the hammer head with an Aquila would help define him as a chaplain. I get the leadership vibe from him (and his dramatic cape) but the only things that make me go “that’s a chaplain” are his book, reliquary, and his skull helmet but with his helmet being black instead of the usual bone white it doesn’t give me the usual religious leader vibe. Aside from that love your kill team

[@SlyBlu7]

Love the conversion, and all your work really. I really hate how Marines hold their hammers though. I know we're not genetically engineered super-humans, but has anyone ever considered how difficult and unwieldy it is to hold a hammer upright by the very bottom like that, except when actually hammering something? It's one little bit of "realism" that would have made this guy especially awesome, and I'd love to see how you would tackle doing that.

Recently, I've put together a Deathwatch kill team with lots of extra embellishments, the most notable member of which is an ancient Firstborn marine secretly drawn from the pre-heresy Night Lords.

[@DarthUrsiusTheWise]

I've been watching your kill team conversion series with no small amount of awe. If you want another project idea, I have one I'd love to do but utterly lack the funds and skill. Since the moment I saw Kill Team as a thing, I've wanted to see someone do a properly converted gang of space pirates, probably based on IG or traitor guard. The conversion possibilities are literally limitless, and getting that right balance of "looks like a group" and "ramshackle appearance" would be amazing. Keep up the amazing work!

[@opesam]

Yes, yeeeeesssssss! 😍 Very excited...

[@breitve]

while loud, the mobility and flanking potential of one or two marines equipped with jump packs could be useful to the kill team i feel. someone who can break enemy formations once the alarm has been raised by flanking or simply bombing straight into the enemy, leaving the rest of the marines to pick off targets that are now distracted by the large and angry marine in their face

[@CollinBuckman]

IMO you should've used a power maul instead of a power hammer, still gives a crozius feel while been less decorated.

[@deadwolf2978]

hmm. i think you killteam may need a guy with a flamer... for those bug hunt missions :)

[@bengarside3314]

Hey pete have loved watching your raptor kitbashes would love to see you do there chapter master lias issodon :)

[@Zable24]

A chaplain was an interesting choice for the HQ, i would have thought a phobos librarian for “intel” or a more traditional captain/lieutenant would have fit better. Love the direction it went in though!

[@charlesman8722]

[@prime3967]

seeing as i'm a xenos player i've never really gotten into the chaplain's but this one fucks so hard i just might build my own astartes kill team with one

Tau auxiliary conversions when? I am making breacher skinks at the moment and having some trouble with the conversion. One of your tutorials would have been a godsend.

[@connorkozlik430]

Maybe a true scale terminator and an aggressor, along with normal and heavy intercessors can fill in the rank and file normal troops and heavy firepower? A techmarine, apothecary, and blade guard can also be fitted into a more specialized role and a rhino type or a repulsive type as sort of an HQ or base of some sorts that can be folded out to have living quarters that can be dropped behind enemy lines?

[@sinisterpuddle6655]

i wouldve used the power maul from the chaos space marines kit as a crozius. in my opinion it looks like a pretty simple and cruel close combat weapon, something defientely not too austentacious for the raptors

[@edmundhayes9365]

Would love to see your take on arm and or leg bionics for Phobos armor. I’m looking to add some Infiltrators to for Iron Hands successors and the bits I’ve been using so far seem a bit bulky

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I'd recommend using some of the Knight Titan parts form Adeptus Titanicus. They're a little slimmer and at about the right scale too.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

I don't know if there is a place for one in your Kill Team. But I'm curious what a no nonsense tactical Raptors take on a Bladeguard Veteran would look like. I imagine one of the less ornate Black Templars initiate's from the Combat Patrol box would make a good starting point.

[@jaanikaapa6925]

Pete, using the same bolter the rest of the team uses is smart and very much on the same venue of usability. Technically the bigger gun means bigger cartridges/bolts. It means that the chaplain would have to haul his own ammo. When a team uses the same caliber they can interchange ammunition on the fly. No need to check the calibers in the heat of the moment. Also makes battlefield pick-ups easier. This has been used in real world too with the SCAR rifle already chambered in the Russian calibers for the teams that go into the bush for extended times. Similarly the teams use 9mm as it is the easiest available round in the world... So highly customised loadouts for Raptors make real sense.

[@PraetorGix]

Ahh, so you're the one guy who bought a box of tacticool primaris!

[@ImNtDead]

No new Raptors kill team videos after this, I hope you got your full roster of 20

[@catherder6552]

The scary corvus hammers from the Dark Angels Ravenwing kits would have been a good replacement for the crozius aswell, Still pragmatic and utilitarian but a "beaked" hammer for a "Raptor"... 😅

[@Oxide14]

For a while now, I've been wondering whether or not the Gardus Steel Soul model for 40k could be converted into a chapter master of some sorts for the space marines. Something about his pose and pieces of his gear is just really appealing to me.
