Kitbashing A Necrofex Colossus From Total War: Warhammer

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I recently hit the 100k subscriber milestone so I thought I'd build something a little bigger. I hope you enjoy it!

[@daringdarius5686]

Me: *switches out 2 parts* I'm a kit basher! You: "So then I made a Necrofex Colossus" Good job my guy! :) This was actually amazing! :D

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

putting this here so that people can see it a lot of these kits seem like you could make them much cheaper, suggesting alternate options such as 3d printing or other kits would help with that since making this otherwise would be incredibly expensive, balsa wood and terrain techniques would also help

[@Erik-zh7rk]

Pete, this model alone makes me want to play AOS. This is incredible

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

@@Erik-zh7rkthere are no rules for it sadly

"Creative Assembly's so against implementing naval combat that they gave the ships legs."

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Who needs ships when you have Zombie Mechas!

[@shadowofhawk55]

I would love for them to add fleets as a new kind of army and for them to flush out trade a little more so you need to patrol your waters during times of war. It would be awesome I think.

[@drakozozhaeternus2840]

The sad thing is they had a really good naval combat system in Napoleon Total War, which was utterly amazing.

[@jeremydurant1358]

Holy shit, no amount of water is putting out that burn.

[@shadowofhawk55]

@Innocent Jogger Oh. That's annoying.

[@gifgit]

I'm genuinely stunned, this is a masterpiece. GW need to get you on their design team.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thanks! Although I don't think I've built enough Primaris Lieutenants to join them yet 😉

[@gifgit]

@@PeteTheWargamer You could design your own Primaris Lieutenants, I`m sure they`d be way better than GW. Just one last thing: Do you have the worlds biggest kit-bashing bits box?

[@KlausWittmann]

But he copied the design from the game so how this makes any sense? You know people on 'design team' should probably be good at design.. and this was a recreation ( great one and i enjoyed it a lot! But this comment makes no sense)

[@sorcen9580]

what could he mean by this

[@Le_Petomane]

i dont think it works like that.

[@tubsy7797]

More Vampire Coast minis would be amazing. This necrofex is amazing!!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I definitely plan on doing more Vampire Coast units.

[@Lyki27]

Long ago, when vampire coast became a thing, they combined zombie and imperial handgunners kits with seran wrap and sold them for the standard kit price.

[@absolutelyloyalspacemarine1684]

If I am not wrong there were some Dark Elves pirates in the old warhammer fantasy, but like just some models not a big part of the faction

[@dentegra9132]

@@PeteTheWargamer Ideas for the crew: Ghost Archipelago Crew, Frostgrave cultists, Fireforge zombies and Wargames Atlantic Afghans (for the guns). Or on the smaller side: Mantic zombies/ghouls and Perry Afghans. The Warlord colonial militia men might come in handy, too.

[@simonnick8422]

I miss Warhammer Fantasy.

[@Tzar-TZ]

i showed my dad the final model, and without him seeing anything but the fully painted colossus, he was able to name every kit that you bought and used.

Hands down, that is amongst the top 5 pieces of kitbashing work I've ever seen!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

[@akumaking1]

@@PeteTheWargamer do you have an email account? Because in Etsy I found some really cool third-party models that could easily be fit for the Vampire Coast (among other races and factions).

[@AGloriusCrushingz]

Could you please try converting other units from the Vampire Coast? I absolutely love this series!

[@Grim6Boyz]

I second this comment.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I do plan on doing a few more, especially with the new Zombie kit coming out at some point!

[@williambryant6175]

I want to see one of those giant crab things!

[@Willie5000]

I feel like it would be easier to do with parts from the current Zombie kit and the discontinued Empire Free Company Militia kit.

[@reubensullivan8849]

This is genuinely top 5 conversions I’ve seen amazing job what a badass model can’t wait to see more

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you very much :D

[@falsehero2001]

Feed the algorithm. This was an irresponsibly expensive kit bash. Dude deserves some scratch to cover the hole he threw his money into.

[@TonyE727]

Yea. While he was putting it together I was staring in horror at the sheer cost of that model. But like a trainwreck, i couldn't look away.

[@jacklovelock1953]

Thats not really the exact cost though. There is a large amount of spare parts left over to either keep or sell. So on the surface it looks expensive, but you can recover a fair bit of it. Ironically it is also still cheaper than a mega gargant to build.

[@Soulessdeeds]

I never want to see you working for Games Workshop. Your creativity would only be stifled there. And the community would suffer from not seeing your creations come to life like they do here. Thank you sir for these videos. And a very well done job.

[@WSJeffery]

This. Is. Epic. I don't play AoS but I loved this, the skill involved is so impressive. Thanks Pete!

[@chrisgoodier6825]

Crazy idea for you. Combine a Mega-Gargant and a Chaos Knight to make some sort of chaos ab-human knight for 40k. Have cannons strapped under his arms, a massive chainsword or power fist. A big steampunky backpack to power everything with extra weapons stuck on. Armour plates strapped to his limbs and a knight type helmet. Cables weaving in and out of its skin! Just an idea!

[@tomdonoghue777]

This is one of the best models I have ever seen Pete be proud of this because people dream of stuff like this

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you 😊

[@achallor]

I would love to see Tomb Kings constructs being converted, there are some many you can choose from Tomb Scorpion, Bone Giants, Ushabtis, Hierotitan, Necrosphinx etc!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

It's a really shame that TK got phased out, some of their bigger models looked great.

[@achallor]

@@PeteTheWargamer how about proxying them with the Bonereapers? They are basically Tomb Kings 2.0 imho

[@rhivan6921]

Depth Guard are one of my favorite units aesthetically in TW:W and I'd love to see them on the tabletop. Beyond that seeing you tackle creating some Legendary Lords would be really cool, Like Malekith, Allarielle, and Imrik.

[@corbintheintern6229]

That's a lot of work for something you can't even use on the tabletop....and I am 100% here for it. You did an amazing job on the conversion.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I kept things in scale with the mega gargant to use it as a proxy. I think most people would be happy to accept that rule set for it.

[@Whiplash557]

Wow! Having this being a proxy for mega gargant in a death army, is such an amazing idea. You really did the necrofex justice!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you! I'm glad you think so.

[@Ammonitemare1711]

Holy crap this one was well worth the wait! Now you just need a Count Noctilus to ride him into battle

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I definitely have ideas for that guy, don't worry.

[@legionnaireminis]

Easily your most ambitious kitbash yet! Well worth the hard work. Fantastic work Pete! 🙌

[@PeteTheWargamer]

This is definitely my most ambitious project, it will probably be a while until I do something as big again 😂

[@50Raphil]

The scope and scale of this is astounding ! Great job !

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thanks!

[@euansmith3699]

That is astonishing. You've really done a good job on giving the shambling assemblage a decent set of proportions.

[@ElAhrem]

[@Tim1000064]

[@bisceg181]

Once you shown off the painted version I nearly lost it. Glad you didn’t give up, this is truly badass.

[@cabose.]

Holy cow that is amazing work! I always wondered what a necrofex would look on the table and man would I buy one. Would love to see you tackle some of the lords and revamp them to more modern glory! Great work overall, loving all the conversions!
