Kitbashing Black Templar Captain & Chaos Space Marine

[@ccoleman4321]

That technique on the black Templar with his hair, I personally hate helmet-less miniatures but the shaven/hair darkening was really good👍

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Cheers! Yeah, I think it's interesting how many people dislike the idea of helmet-less minis, but I do get it. I played around with the shaven idea ages ago but entirely forgot about it. It seems like a nice and easy way to add some depth to the face.

[@S0upN1nja]

I was thinking "He could probably take apart that mini if he stuck it in the freezer for a couple minutes". And then you mentioned you used Tamiya Thin. I immediately went "welp" and carried on with the video lol

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Yeah...I go a little overboard with the thin cement at times 😄. I'm actually not familiar with the freezer trick, is that to make super glue more brittle ?

[@S0upN1nja]

@@AnotherDayMiniatures Yeah it makes it brittle enough to break the bond. I primarily use Gorilla Glue Gel so its a useful trick if a part isnt on right.

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

That's a good trick, I'll have to keep it in mind for the future. I often glue bases using super glue.

[@Matt-md5yt]

This is awesome bud. And the lore you did made sense on the Black Templars being in Necromunda since it's Imperial Fists Recruiting planet

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Thanks, mate! Yeah, I was recently reading that the top of the Necromunda Primus is the Imperial Fists' chapter house. I thought it was a bit of outdated lore, but it turns out, as you said, it's a recruiting planet for them.

[@TheMichaellathrop]

Do you think you could have gotten that chaos warrior furred cape onto the space marine and then managed to get the backpack on over it?

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

That was something I wanted to do originally however, since they are push-to-fit models, most parts are fused together in very odd ways. This is mainly because the cape includes shoulders, torso, and a few arms as well.

[@Xatxitor]

Intresting to see the size difference between a primaris and a chaos SM

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

I have the CSM sitting next to the terminators I did in the last video, it's even more wild. He doesn't even reach the terminator's neckline with the top of his head.

[@zachsilby4569]

Definitely helpful watching this and seeing "eyebrows" get painted onto a face, learning why my faces looked a lil bit off

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Cheers! Yeah, I think this is the first face in a while where I've tried adding eyebrows. It's very interesting how much they instantly change the face.

[@galtshobbycorner]

I really need to do a kitbash! They always look so cool! 😎

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

It's tons of fun to try and change the model into something wild you've thought of. If you get the chance, definitely give it a go.Thank you!

[@chrism4919]

Kitbashing is a lot of fun, plus it's your own unique model.

[@ricardoalonso8376]

Very cool black armor effect, gna borrow that for the future

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Thanks mate! Glad you found it useful.

[@crabbyink9849]

Definitely gonna use the shield thing, not sure what I’d run him as

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Hell yeah! Always awesome to hear. I think you could get away with counting the shield as a 'melee' weapon. After all, no one would want to get bonked on the head with that much metal 😄.

[@crabbyink9849]

@@AnotherDayMiniatures im thinking maybe get a squad of shield guys and run them as chosen

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

That could work really well, that shield gives them a very elite look. Perhaps basing them a tiny bit higher than other legionaries to reinforce that idea.

[@sirkelendor5429]

I feel like not enough people appreciate the sheer amount of badass chaos weaponry from aos. Ive used some of the basic chaos warriors weapons for loyalist marines because they arent that chaosy. My combi weapon lt uses a chaos warrior body and legs for base kit(lore is he killed a funny lookin heretic and took his armor because his was very damaged, and kept his helmet as a trophy)

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Indeed. AoS In general has a lot of really cool stuff that can be used for kitbashes, the fact they have the same scale is also amazing. Your kitbashes sound fantastic, I really enjoy the idea of space marines using what they can find to repair their damage.

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

If you have a favorite between the two and would like to see their theme continued in a future kitbash, let me know. Maybe this could be an alternative timeline where Necromunda has been lost for good, or where the Templars take it back.

[@martindunn4545]

I'm just kitbashing my own csm kill team ! Cant decide on a paint scheme though, any suggestions ?

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

That's awesome! What theme do you have in mind for their backstory? Additionally, are you looking for something simpler to army paint, or is time less of a factor?

[@martindunn4545]

@@AnotherDayMiniatures They're à mix of the New csm models, death guard and admech parts so the backstory is linked to some dark mechanicum daemon world in the eye of terror. As for painting time, that isn't much of an issue as I don't particularly play large scale 40k and don't plan on painting à whole army. For now I've got 15 models and they're base coated in green-gold gunmetal but I'm not sure as to the accent colours (purple is à bit cliché ). Any input would be much apreciated !

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

@@martindunn4545 Damn, that sounds really cool. I've been thinking about Dark Mech for a while, but they seem like a really challenging kitbash to tackle. With the introduction of Vashtorr in the lore, it sounds like a perfect combo. For the additional color, I honestly think a pure red, maybe fading into a bit of bright orange, would be a fantastic combination. It matches the theme of Dark Mech and accents green really well. Gold is more of a neutral color and works well with red (think Custodes).

[@martindunn4545]

@@AnotherDayMiniaturesit was à bit daunting at first, but the sicarian box is a godsend, loads of little wierd arms and tentacles ! i'll keep that in mind, thanks !

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Ive seen that box around but never looked at the parts, I'll have to check it out some time. Cheers. @@martindunn4545

Der Chaos Marine hat ein schönes Farbschema, mit dem Schild ist auch eine Idee. Der Black Templar ist auch schön bemalt, dieser Umbau fande ich persönlich überflüssig. Warum?, ein bestehendes Charakter Modell in einen einfachen Marine umzubauen ist Verschwendung. Du hast bestimmt eine gute Idee gehabt,, aber wäre das Charakter Modell nicht gebaut gewesen, hätte man noch nicht benötigte Teile aufheben können. So wurden diese nur zerschnitten und landen im Müll. Aber wie gesagt, das ist meine persönliche Meinung und keine Kritik an deine Person.

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Vielen Dank, es freut mich zu hören, dass sie dir gefallen haben. Tatsächlich hatte ich zwei Black Templar Modelle, beide zusammengebaut, und eines war bereits bemalt. Ich brauchte wirklich keine zwei identischen Modelle, also beschloss ich, eines in etwas Einfacheres, aber dennoch ausreichend Unterschiedliches umzuwandeln, damit sie nicht gleich aussehen. Anfangs hatte ich vor, mehr Elemente hinzuzufügen, aber letztendlich gefiel mir die einfachere Version besser. Die meisten Teile plane ich wiederzuverwenden, das einzige Teil, das zerstört wurde, war das Schulterpolster und der Arm.

[@EngraTodesklinge]

Das ist natürlich eine Option wenn man das Modell doppelt hat. Manchmal kommen die besten Ideen erst, wenn die Modelle gebaut sind.

[@jalenkellum5773]

Is that Vallejo gun metal gray?

[@AnotherDayMiniatures]

Spot on, the metal color range.

How many different thumbnails are you going to use for this video?

I usually make quite a few. 😄 Always interesting trying different ways to explain what the video is about in a single frame.
