Kitbashing a Chaos Dragon From Total War: Warhammer

Dear god. It’s beautiful

[@noprobllama9747]

Holy Moly!

[@tommaso3211]

Amazing Job! I would love to see your take on a Zombie dragon!

[@ignatiusonfire]

There is the zombie dragon from the flesh eater courts line

[@The_Captain40k]

@@ignatiusonfire It's a bit rubbish though, it's not a gorgeous dynamic dragon like the one Pete made

[@tommaso3211]

@@ignatiusonfire Don't get me wrong the kit, for the age it has, holds up quite well! But it lacks intention, movement and character imo🤔 I'm kitbashing one myself, using the same kit he used as a base here, so I am quite curious 🤓

[@Archangel_Kali]

@PeteTheWargamer For Halloween, maybe?

[@Fireskin_Hobbies]

This is so insanely good as always! I’d like to see a plastic Grom The Paunch for Orcs and Goblins; seeing that fat guy be pulled by some giant wolves would be chefs kiss.

[@Perkustin]

Ooohh i'd love to see that, good idea.

[@Lee-vp8vs]

Here's an idea for a kitbash. Ghazkull and Yarrick sitting down having a cup of tea

[@toastle8005]

Get it to the top, he needs to at least see the comment to have a laugh

[@voxkine9385]

7:45 yea… I always imagine what Warhammer minis would do if they ever went full “Toy Story” and came alive… what sort of horror they would be in, being kitbashed from a dozen different boxes, to have someone else’s legs… to have a drill up their hoo-haa…

[@thefinalanubis]

This reminds me of an idea I had. Kitbashing Orc kits from Warhammer Fantasy to work with 40k Orks. I'd LOVE to see a Fantasy dragon upgraded and ridden into battle by a 40k Ork. Some other kits I think would be natural conversions into 40k Ork stuff is the Breaka-boss on Mirebrute Troggoth kit and the Marshcrawla Sloggoth kit. I think one day I'm gonna attempt to convert those kits to be more 40k Ork-y.

[@calikid4250]

You could probably double your views by creating a sister channel that is a long form video of you painting these at your workstation. Set up a light box, play some royalty free lofi tracks and play at like 3x speed of you grinding these bad boys out.

[@carlosrubinos]

This is amazing! Absolute genius. Best chaos dragon conversion I've seen, by a wide margin, and with a great paintjob to boost. I wish there was a full kit for this.

[@ReynardCalcifius]

Love these big monster kitbashes

[@jakearaujo6028]

Been watching your kitbashes for years now, and while I like all of them, this is a whole other level. Fantastic work. The sculpting in particular really tied everything together, and the ball bearing eyes were a stroke of genius.

[@iain.sm.c]

Those headless hydra necks remind me of something, but I can't quite put my finger arou- I mean **on** it.

[@NicPTheMeme]

*PROHIBITION HAMMER*

[@JohnPC00]

A Bretonnian duke on a hippogryph kitbash would be pretty neat, as the current model (Louen Leoncoeur) has sculpted on heraldry that would limit who that character is in your army.

[@eduardonuneznavarrete646]

That dragon maybe is the best dragon model ever released. An your conversion work is stunning. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@Gonnnondorf1]

This looks fantastic - your greenstuff work is really great, I'm enamoured by this conversion!

[@im_badatpc7469]

High elf lord on a modernised dragon would be good to see

[@oldtoby4062]

Would be cool to see a modernised sisters of twilight too

[@honestkyn718]

Well done... though I need to figure out how to do a Proper Sisters of Twilight model for wood elves... and tomb kings! and Cathay... honestly any of these would be fun too, but happy to see the Warriors of chaos getting love.

[@willnewberry7603]

I always enjoy watching you come up with this stuff but sometimes I wish you were showing the painting process too. Your videos with kitbashing and painting have always been awesome and entertaining

[@Bluecho4]

Such an incredible kitbash! I am in awe.

[@samwritescomics]

Would have loved to see how you painted this in the video too Pete! Great Job as ever

[@Perkustin]

I love the painting, the wings especially and the torn neck was a nifty idea well executed. I think a unit of Chaos Forsaken would be great and something i'm fairly sure you'd enjoy based on other stuff you've done, you could also make maybe 8-10 and see if you could rank them up as an added bonus.

[@TheArcticMenace]

Definitely taking notes here, between this and a dark elf black dragon I’m getting some serious inspiration and we love it!

[@brokenheroics8223]

I'm lost for words to describe this art piece. Phenomenal.

[@thehallway4228]

This is absolutely dope and I would love to see you convert some venerable ushabti, IN PLASTIC.

[@RrHms2J]

I think half of the draw of these kitbashing guys is watching them 86 a $200 kit without blinking. I physically winced when he cut off the horn on that second dragon head. I counted an Ionus Cryptborn, a stormcast dragon set, and and Eternus. Bonkers.

[@SRNae]

That's fantastic! Well done conversion.

[@OlikLaroifan-fv4ur]

Great job on the dragon though I'd love to see a more custom chaos lord using more kits than just eternus but apart from that I love it! As for requests, I'd love to see an ork warboss on wyvern and/or maybe even Assavar Kul Great job 👍

[@morganw.4711]

The original reminds me a bit of the original illustrations of the Jabberwocky. I like your rendition!

[@leea-123.A]

Hi Pete, Just wanted to say I love your stuff your knowledge of warhammer and what you are able to create is truly outstanding. I just need a daily video pls :)

[@scottywan82]

Great job! I would love to see how you would tackle doing a High Elf or Wood Elf on Great Eagle.

[@dyspraxicpainter8567]

Amazing work as always, in the vein of Old World dragons, I'd love to see an update for the Sisters of Twilight, or Orion

[@arzhmael7799]

Amazing ! I love the mutated fleshy splited head.

[@casperbrndstrup2496]

Holy Moley, Pete... This might be your best one yet! Well... You did do those big monsters back in the days ;)

[@atlas6538]

This series is amazing, old world out of all the gw games needs this type of conversion videos, given how out of date some of the models are, hope to see more

[@gethingyn-lokclifford-jone371]

Awesome stuff to see! Completely irrelevent but I'd love to see your take on a chaos noise marine!

[@Azaghal1988]

stellar work as always Honestly, I really miss the sleeker Oldhammer dragons, they were a bit more unique in their bodyshape (and I think very iconic!)

[@Coerciveutopian]

Wow. And that pose is phenomenal.

[@toberl01]

Really awesome stuff! Although, I miss the painting step when it's not included in the video.

[@echlinryan]

Absolutely fantastic, that sculpting work for the neck is just superb!

[@starmoor1038]

Dude this is some of the best work I’ve seen in a while great job Pete

[@guineapigsith699]

absolutely gorgeous, maybe the best one yet

[@lordchaosmonkey552]

I'd love to see an update to one of the units from the dogs of war book. Used to be one of my favourite armies back in og warhammer

[@WIGHT_METAL]

Such a cool kit! I was eyeing it up for a zombie dragon conversion!

[@Certawin]

Ahh yes that's a big beasty indeed. And cool kitbash hands down!

[@adambrown6890]

I made a Chaos dragon years ago with the old high elves plastic dragon kit by heating the two neck halves and bending them out. It was a great job all those years ago but the rider stood on the back instead of sitting so the size is way off. This look amazing and I am very tempted to try my hand at this new version.

[@homeless0alien]

Very cool, and the split heads is executed amazingly. I must say though the join where the necks meet the body looks a bit too wierd for me, the 90 degree angle in the silouette just doesnt sit right. Fantastic paint job though too!

[@Fan_of_the_hobby]

You could convert abaddon in tybros by turning the face on his knee into a shark, and shave the rest of the trim, and replace the pauldrons

[@uruk_bye1232]

This elicits joy. Also, I've been racking my brain for a good Razorgor kitbash since the model is old and hard to come by.

[@123johnnymac123]

Absolutely awesome. Would love to know how you did the snow on the base, looks really good.

[@irishwristwatch2487]

I do love the Old World kitbashes, reminds me of playing at GW when I was a teenager

[@sasquash8709]

Jesus H Christ! You’re super talented, I’m a massive chaos fan and I had Baudros as a kid, would love to see you redo him! 🔥

[@CornerGuy]

Awesome kitbash, though I do miss the painting part, im not much for kitbashing but there are some things you have done for these models that ive been able to use in my own painting. As for kitbash ideas, perhaps some kind of data corrupted necron character (pulling parts from the Void Dragon, Overlord with Translocation, and Psychomancer?) in that cubic asthetic

[@vlad3967]

Amazing work Pete. You sold the split head so well! Also Eternus is such a good choice for the rider. Stunning piece!

[@Psilocybear]

I would absolutely love to see you attempt a Jabberslythe! With Beastmen being in AoS and Old world now this model in particular stands out quite a bit as needing a new model and it would be a big challenge

[@karlvoorhees6355]

I love this build! Great work! Now make some primaris sized chaos terminators! :)

[@Carboncopie]

Your by far best mini of the last couple month. Made me remember why i follow you.

[@jefferymartens6303]

Absolutely stunning! I'd love to see your take on a Marienburg Landship!

[@Pladshirtman1924]

Amazing job! Love the dragon! maybe you could make a nurgle chaos dragon that has the harbinger of death on its back!

[@Geerladenlad]

Really amazing work! That turned out so awesome!!👍 You came up with some great ideas and the green stuff work was impeccable!

[@phalanix5270]

Yesterday I just kitbashed Ionus for a chaos dragon as well, wish I had thought more about how to do the two headed concept, I just gave him the one head and decided I’d paint him as a warp fire dragon since those guys are just chaos dragons of a different variety really. This one looks really cool though aaaaagh.

[@dave_s_vids]

Wow - that's utterly incredible!

[@HobbyDad_dy]

Great video, Pete! I was looking at using the Hydra heads for a conversion myself, so I’m glad to get a good view on how they work on a similar body!

[@angelocayo892]

This is just incredible and it really looks like the total war version, I know because I will just stare at it in the game sometimes.

[@maximusdarc]

Lots of great ideas to take inspiration from here, thanks!

[@ericsmith5770]

This is amazing!!! I’m painting my first minis this weekend and your paint jobs are that much more impressive now

[@ratri4969]

Wow great job, I'm not a chaos guy but this was *chef's kiss*

[@angelx9724]

I have been thinking about how I'm going to do Mine. Looking forward to seeing Yours!

[@mks_dan]

What a gorgeous result! One of the most impressive conversions on this channel!

[@adamray7249]

An updated Chaos Lord on Manticore is LONG OVERDUE for Slaves to Darkness... would love to see you tackle that!

[@delphydragon]

Great conversion, in a similar vein id love to see a forest dragon converted since its only few models are from a very different era in whfb and dont really have a super conclusive look in the modern day

[@Swarbie8D]

Absolutely perfect! I was thinking of using the Cryptborn dragon for this exact conversion, but wasn’t sure on the rider, heads and necks; I guess I’d better give this a go myself!

[@PalaeoJoe87]

This is utterly incredible. Wow!

[@andrewdrauth]

Woah. Incredible. I would love to see a Kislev unit!

[@makaero1504]

Amazing. I knew Ionus was destined for my Warriors of Chaos force, its great to see someone else do the work so I can borrow ideas. Thanks Pete!

[@alexrc7333]

Amazing! Old Galrauch is a challenge to assemble and the Forgeworld one is one of the best dragon minis ever made.

[@BrandonRossi-z7f]

Great job! Next is the demon bull thing that the Chaos Dwarfs can ride

[@BrandonRossi-z7f]

Not the K’daai destroyer, but the winged orange bull guy

[@bajscast]

@@BrandonRossi-z7f That already has a model

[@Jamgeoso]

Absolutely amazing. Thanks for this!

[@javiersoria3913]

We all thought about this when that dragon came out, but this is beyond expectations. Stunning.

[@HobbyDad_dy]

I would love for you to show off how you store your bits and kits some time!

[@ger5956]

Absolutely love it, incredible work as always dude 😁❤️👍🏻

[@markpierce7200]

Very, very nice. What a good job you did!

[@wpb5876]

Wow, just wow! Top 3 conversion!

[@wpeaston]

My goodness this is something else! 👏 👏 outstanding

[@blakedevin4329]

That's so gnarly lookin, I love it

[@Yurt_enthusiast7]

Trolls and ogres of the chaos variant sorely needs some love

[@TeaAndTunes]

That’s gorgeous dude, I hope you’re considering Golden Demon this year!

[@thedruski85]

Stellar conversion!!

[@linus3977]

Really nice job, looks amazing!

[@RobJonesWrites]

Such an absolutely badass dragon, Pete. Great work, as usual, sir.

[@Константин-н7н]

7:45 - For the first time I see initiation into the cult of Slaanesh

[@hippi0284]

I would love to see a Kitbashing on the Grumlok & Gazbag model

[@szakiHUN0]

My god, it was your best work yet. Absolutely fantastic!

[@Speknoz]

I was looking at these exact parts for my own recently! I picked up a Zombie Dragon kit several months ago, but it definitely won't fit on the "designated" base size.

[@Fueledchaos]

Heck Pete! Incredible work...🔥We are not worthy!

[@iambenk]

Very cool bild. I am currently doing something similar, obviously less amazing. Still, I am glad for the additional inspiration.

[@MegamanZero410]

This is stunning!

[@thepavl]

Pete that split head idea was excellent!!! Great job man!!!! It looks perfect

[@skeeter5076]

the tzaangor kit has an optional head doing the same thing and i use it every chance i get

[@mightykasa]

Ever since you built the vampire lord from the Sigvald model, I have thought that you could do a similar build to make Malekith the Witch King from the WHFB Dark Elves. The armor and size would go almost perfectly to represent Malekith and you would have the skills to do it! Just a little next video idea ;)

[@colinwakelin159]

Amazing miniature, great job 👏👍
