[@WarhammerWings]

Please do that airship!

[@blizzardgaming7070]

I'd like to see a version of Azazel. He's one of the few slannesh demons that actually fit the looking attractive from afar, horrible once you're too close to escape appearance slannesh is supposed to have. Most current models in the slannesh range look less appealing than a plague bearer.

[@infinite13390]

I would love to see the goblin hewer done next. I have the original and that metal piecing together was a nightmare when I was a teenager! It really deserves a reimagining!

[@MartinWichmann1]

Please do the Luthor Harkon or the empire landship!

[@KroVey]

I would love to see Slaangors, Tzaangors, Khorngors and Pestigors!!!

[@zentinelable]

the dwarf zepelin, that would be amazing to see

[@bleizh_le_rat]

i have no idea how he would do the ballon though, but the mechanical part are always a treat to paint in gyro so i really want him to it

[@oscarandreas1431]

@@bleizh_le_ratmabye some kharadron bits?

[@zentinelable]

@@bleizh_le_rat the ballon would have to be built from scratch however, there are some kits from age of sigmar for the zepelin itself

[@AsterixCodix]

​@@zentinelable I'm not sure how they scale together but, you could use a Necromunda Promethium tank for most of the balloon?

[@palpatinoshades923]

Actually a nurgle zeppelin creature would be nice too

[@Frozenkoldfury]

Genuinely the coolest Nurgle miniature I've ever seen. I'd love to see you tackle Elspeth, tbh

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Maybe one day! The dragon she's mounted on is pretty similar to the Stormcast ones to be honest.

[@iain.sm.c]

One thing I've learnt over the year is that nurglr stuff is great for kitbashing and conversations. Great job, Pete.

[@skyblast1999]

Dude I was literally looking up they other day to see if 1. It had existed and 2. If i could get one without costing an arm and a leg. fantastic work as always!

[@jackpaxton9391]

It should be illegal to be this good.

[@goldenkurlz]

This is a gorgeous kitbash. Any time you can no longer easily identify where the original model stops and the custom stuff starts is a win. Love seeing your creativity!

[@ethanmorgenstern96]

I would have probably shaved some of the Lizardman's symbols on the plates on the tail, but the result is damn rad anyway, love it. Great job, Pete

[@Icyblade01]

This might be the best kitbash you've ever done - I'd hardly even call it a kitbash as you've custom sculpted half of it!

[@nottelling2976]

Wow. I skipped ahead and saw the finished toad and was blown away. I immediately went back to the beginning and watched the whole video. You are a master of kitbashing!

[@moderndavinci6599]

I swear, everyone of this guys creations is golden demon worthy

[@uruk_bye1232]

I think this is some of your finest work, mate. It's not overly complex, and the vision really worked.

[@kaoswarrior1980]

Every... Freaking...Time... You blow me away my dude, absolutely stunning.

[@MarkMillerTX]

I’ve never actually played Warhammer but when I was younger, used to love buying White Dwarf to see customs and kit bashes. Seems like today everything is a custom model, so it’s somewhat of a lost art form. I really love your stuff because it reminds me of those days.

[@adc1222]

This is so amazing. Your nurgle kitbashes are probably my favorites out of everything you do. They just always look so nasty in the best way possible

[@Anomalocaris-hy4kv]

Now i want to see a kitbashed plague toads

[@thegorgon639]

The sculpting on the throat is incredible

[@FiliIsHere]

I really hope Pete tries to kitbash the Marienburg Landship or the Thunderbarge, it'd be really cool to see them as miniatures.

[@Whattwa]

The sculpting you did for this conversion was very good, paired with the painting it was almost flawless

[@Rhaenday]

If anything, a Carnosaur being corrupted and mutated into something more toad-like is a cool idea. The model looks great (if a bit to neat/clean)

[@DandaLion92]

The way you seemlessly incorporate the milliput and green stuff always amazes me 😅

[@Highland_Ronin]

I was given the official kit for Tamurkhan for my 30th birthday, just before it went out of print. It's an awesome kit. I'm so glad others will be able to follow this guide to make their own.

[@TheTinyTyranid]

really love your content and the toad dragon was absolutely SICK! if I may suggest a kitbash idea for you it would be the shredder of lustria or Nakai the Wanderer.

[@BitzboxTV]

This is absolutely epic. The use of the Mawloc jaw just works so well.

[@Gomai]

Well done sir! Grandfather must be well pleased.

[@ryan8850]

Amazing and really captures the essence of Tamurkhan, I’d love to see you tackle a landship

[@flippantgibbon9469]

This might be the most successful conversion I've ever seen you do, fantastic work! As for suggestions, Elsbeth in the DLC has magical artillery that fires purple suns, you could try converting some regular artillery to be magical, maybe with hit markers to show the ongoing effects of the spells?

[@teoiny1]

An incredibly innovative and inspiring kitbash!

[@columbatiberius2176]

The moment I saw the trailer, I knew I'd see some Tamurkhan on this channel.

[@STOOJIE]

Surely GW have got you to consult on models by now. If not the are obviously missing a trick because not only are you a quality sculpter your imagination is equally amazing, well done sir.

[@dragonmaster4295]

It almost looks like you ripped it out of the game and took it into reality. Amazing work as always

[@bobdenard9163]

All your job is amazing !! Again on top!!

[@e1miniatures584]

This is some of your best work to date!! Astounding work, Pete 😁

[@youngarchaeotech189]

You absolutely outdid yourself with this one. I adore how you made the mawloc lower jaw work.

[@venoms.kennedy5178]

I was thinking about kitbashing myself a Tamurkhan on foot. Now your video pops up in my feed an I am tempted to do more than just an "on foot" version :D

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Impressive as usual, sir! if I had enough bits lying about, I'd get into doing this more often myself.

[@brokenheroics8223]

Bravo. This is an amazing piece. Well done.

[@lockkey1980]

Masterful work!

[@thatbear28]

This is unbelievably cool. I’ve never even played total war but I’ve had the idea of a nurgle toad dragon on my head for months and had no idea how to go about it.

[@ghostofalltime4934]

Gorgeous, well done mate!

[@CopperAndCutGrass]

I love your videos because you do such a great job of describing the process with just enough detail to recreate the conversion if desired without going into such detail as to become boring. It's a difficult balance to achieve and I am in awe that you do it in every video. It doesn't hurt that the conversions are creative in themselves and I enjoy watching them even for forces I will never play or build for. I have recreated several of your conversions, naturally with my own spin on them, and your videos were hands down the best possible instructions I could have asked for. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for what you do and tell you that I love seeing one of your videos come up in my feed.

[@AvocationNation]

Absolutely SICK! I love it.

[@mjhsinclair]

Amazing! A land ship project would also be particularly awesome if you could do it. 😊

[@Thetyrant45]

another awesome conversion Pete!!

[@ThatguywhoplaysSlaanesh-ih3gm]

Been watching your vids fir a few years now so far this has ro be my favourite conversion. Keep up the good work.

[@bentaylor2654]

Your videos are so soothing to listen to. Nice work!

[@cerisekappes580]

Really awesome conversion! 😊

[@dimon8760]

Very cool. Thanks!

[@ArchArturo]

Amazing work! You sir are an inspiration 😮

[@lvoss4life]

Popped up in my recommended and I knew I had to watch it. You are a master.

[@johnnybrown4528]

Amazing work ! Always wanted to make one but had no idea how to , would love to see you do the bile troll

[@rikter22]

You're a master craftsman an artist

[@db2634]

THANKS FOR DOING THIS

[@ravenniwolvarious8801]

Wow Pete, incredible job. Don't think even GW could do better. It looks brilliant and would fit in the range perfectly.

[@periimaginari4142]

Amazing as always

[@Kavouraki_]

Amazing. One of the best creations ever. Fantastic job!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Wow, thanks!

[@cegesh1459]

This is awesome!

[@thegreatangel8251]

This is incredible

[@siedwillemdejong1454]

My god man you're a mind reader. I've been trying to figure out how to get a toad/swamp dragon for my Kruleboyz HQ, but ever since Bubebolos disappeared and there are no prints to be found, i've been more or less giving up on the idea. This has been a lifesaver, and i'm not afraid to admit that I love you right now.

[@user-pz1pc8wi1z]

This one was a lovely build, nice to see a well built-up padding out of the base model. I would love to see your take on Elspeth von Draken, and Her Carmine Dragon.

[@Dorsidwarf]

Wow! Real pretty and ingenious, though the tell tale seraph on plates on the tail could have used a little burgle adornment

[@gregoryjordan1740]

Cool to see you getting more ambitious with the sculpting lately Pete.

[@czarniutka852]

amazing mate !

[@Swarbie8D]

I think I’m gonna do this for my Chaos Lord on Dragon for Old World; I’ve got a Carnosaur that I bought for DnD yeaaaars ago that’s just been gathering dust. Stripping the paint now to make a mount worthy of a Nurgle Lord!

[@othelloprime99]

Wild. Great job.

[@serpentine8124]

incredible video!

[@mikespaintedminis5100]

That really is impressive 👌

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video, love the not so subtle nod to Lee Majors. If you know you had a brilliant childhood 😅

[@RiverRibble]

This is amazing

[@user-dr4iv5rs2v]

This is beautiful work im so In awe 🫢 of this I’m toying with the idea myself as my 11 year old loves nurgle and this is just stunning thank you 🙏 ps my little boy said can he have it lol 😂

[@user-ej3ho8bn5q]

Insanely cool.

[@oscarandreas1431]

i love it, and deffinatly gonna use it as an example for my own army, hope you also do some doomseekers and mabye even a thunderbarge,

[@johnevans5706]

I had a similar idea a few years ago thinking about using a mawcrusher or jabberslyth model as the base

[@j.rivera1974]

Almost perfect. I dobthinknthe choice of grey color for the teeth and horns was wrong. They should be more so a decayed bone color which would really make the model pop. Great modeling btw!

[@cybertronbob]

I’d love to see you tackle a Empire war wagon especially as there’s not a lot of obvious GW kits to use for it

[@matejsvec999]

Hello Pete i wanted to ask for a dark mechanicus kitbash advice. Do u think that the Forge Fiend and Tech Priest Manipulus would fit together?

[@PeteTheWargamer]

It really depends on how you want to merge the two. The Manipulus is quite a bit smaller than the Forge Fiend but you could make some pretty cool mash up if you removed the Forge fiend's head and placed the Manipulus onto the end of the neck. Blend in the pipes and it will look as though he's plugged into and controlling the daemon engine directly. I hope that makes sense!

[@columbatiberius2176]

I'm sure you'll eventually get around to making all of Tamurkhan's Generals and unique units, so I'm going to suggest something else. Vorgaroth the Scarred and his mount the Dragoness Skalok the Skull Host of Khorne. Since Vorgaroth is a Khorne Champion, you'll no doubt have plenty of bits from your Khorne Wolves to spare. But that's only one part of why I suggested Vorgaroth. Despite his debut in AoS, there's a good chance that the Forge World Champion of Khorne is actually older than that. Tamurkhan's book was only the first part of a cancelled series after all, the next books would cover his brothers, who'd each been claimed by a Chaos God. And Khorne was the one due next. Considering Vorgaroth is an Ogre-sized Champion, on a Dragon? Seems like he's been designed to match Tamurkhan's girth. So really, my suggestion of Vorgaroth is because I am curious what you'd come up with for Tzeentch and Slaanesh with the brief of "Ogres on Dragons".

[@cwj138]

So cool.

[@EwokOverlord]

awesome.

[@tko_5]

I felt like you would do this!!!!!

[@philippojer4293]

Wow, OK, you win, great work and love the overall model, keep up the great work, cheers Phil

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thanks Phillip, I will try!

[@kluder1993]

I would love to see a Lemartes kit bash

[@goforitpainting]

Cool as always. 🦎

[@codecarmine]

Malagor would be cool to paint

[@XYZdude00]

A landship, but like a full sized battleship

[@dominickdambrosio783]

I think the eyes are very impressive

[@boop2908]

Please do a landship next.

[@williambryant6175]

I’m legit curious what your annual greenstuff budget is, lol. Fantastic job as always

[@boltsprite]

You know if you enjoy taking inspiration from Total War Warhammer then it would be great to see if you could handle the Empire Landship, I know it had a model at one point but it would be great to see how you could make it look more modern.

[@josgorens2133]

Now we only need all tamurkhans horde units to play in AoS.

[@Matt-md5yt]

sweet more Total Warhammer builds

[@pawedrozd2344]

Another great kitbash! I got a question for you @PeteTheWargamer. Recently, I've started thinking about kitbashing Dragon Ogres for TOW from Ogroid Theridons and Aggradon Lancers - Ogriod's torso + body of raptor. Do you think it's feasible?

[@autumnlotus6250]

Also what was that water effect texture you used? You kinda quickly moved past it, and i kinda wanna get some lol

[@owidakerlkers]

Has anyone ever tried using the texture grass tufts as giant fluffy mold patches? I think that might look really cool in like huge open wounds on nurgle creatures (edit: i mean the tufts trimmed to shape and painted)

[@ArmageddonUnlimited]

Not a fan of the greyish mouthparts and horn but overall a really good kitbash!

[@edpaintsstuff]

Hi Pete, something I've been meaning to ask for awhile but never gotten round to it; where do you source your greenstuff? I've had batches of varying quality (even when cutting out the central join section and taking the 'skin' off the green side) whereas your results are consistently smooth! Any advice / heads up in your experience would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

[@niallgeary94]

Amazing. Please do a ghortich conversion :)

[@benives254]

Do you ever use the milliput+green stuff mixed together?

[@MrRlsquared]

Chaos lord or Sorc on Manticore!!!!For old World!!!

[@le3299ify]

A certain von draken would be cool and probs fairly easy
