I'd love to see you do a series of the Dornian Heresy like you did for the various legion cultists. Just a single model as an example of each legion. That would be so cool!

[@IzzysIssues]

Definitely want to draw a ton of attention to this idea!

[@linhle8294]

The conversion series i want to watch

[@SamGlaze]

Definitely seconded!

[@danielbetham80]

Such a great idea! Would love to see that

[@minipaintermatt]

Fantastic idea

[@logosofgame4273]

Just looked up the Dornian Heresy. Am I the only one to find it amusing that the Lion is a loyalist in both timelines, but his loyalties are questioned by everyone regardless?

[@kappa6109]

And the Alpha legion? Or is it Omega legion?

[@henrypaleveda7760]

if might be funny, but it is still accurate

[@kappa6109]

The lion grew up in the forest being attacked by creatures so he's distrustful and paranoid of others. Pretty much he's in it for himself.

[@TN-ci4ox]

@@kappa6109 he is very loyal to the emperors vision of an enlightened humanity but he demanded absolute trust and faith even if you weren’t trusted by him to know plans His ships helmswoman literally followed orders blind at one point

[@broccoligaming7611]

Lion is just built Different

[@joshmorton3392]

I'd love to see you tackle Dornian Heresy ultramarines, their angular amour gives them a very different look to regular marines.

[@ZNash300]

There’s actually stl files of DH Ultras on cults 3d, 5 bucks more or less for 5 torsos and legs, shoulder pads with and without Ultramarine symbols and the heads. You’d have to source the arms from elsewhere, but they’re still awesome!

[@maximumcarnage1381]

Honestly if he does any other dornian heresy models I'll be happy.

[@Isomnator57]

It'd be cool to see your take on a loyalist noise marine of the emperor's children or a tzeentch corrupted raven guard

[@andrewculross9421]

Instead of rock and roll marines it’d be choir marines lmao

[@djtuskan]

the noise part came in from chaos... they were perfectionists

[@pifilixxiv3192]

@@andrewculross9421 at that point it be just very vocal sisters of battle

[@sirkelendor5429]

I still havent fully understood why the rg were picked for the tzeentchian legion of DH. They are stealthy, pragmatic, and untrusted by their allies, but they still dont say "tzeentch" to me

[@BassoeG]

@@sirkelendor5429birds

[@krism.6598]

Technically, this could also be a kitbash of the Fists from the Roboutian Heresy AU, since in that story the Imperial Fists fell to Khorne.

[@codymiller1881]

That's my headcannon for this model

[@KillerOrca]

Heretical Fists are Heretical Fists.

[@maximumcarnage1381]

I always preferred DH because it was an alternate take on the actual events rather than just a faction swap. I don't buy Guilliman falling to chaos he's too pragmatic and rational, the successionist route is a way better way of doing traitor Ultramarines. That being said I think it's cool there's more than one alternate history take on the HH.

[@sakuraoni6919]

@@maximumcarnage1381 guilliman isn’t so pure, he could be sways due to his hubris. Erebus was cunning after all

[@zombieapocolypse141]

I've never read either story but how do the imperial fist fall to Khorne, I would imagine Sanguineous or Leman would fall to Khorne?

[@omnissiahGaspar]

I personally feel like having a more classic khornate helmet would have looked better as the head, but you did a superb job with this kitbash as usual, keep up the good work!

[@Wortwort-Spooderbat]

I agree. Space marines without helmets are just lame as far as the head area goes and are not iconic like the helmets are. I wouldn't ever make any space marine without a helmet to be honest

[@cheguevara19]

If I remember right, that crest is something linked to the fighting pits of Nuceria, so that wouldn't necessarily make sense as it's 12th legion specific. An actual symbol of Khorne would be ok though.

[@archmagosbelisariuscawl1192]

@@Wortwort-Spooderbat I liked the head he used. If you look closely to it it looks demonic an more corrupted. But I agree with you aswell because I hate painting faces and helmets are just cooler.

[@LoganSearles]

@@cheguevara19 to be fair it is confusing because khornate warriors in Warhammer fantasy also wear the crest’s.

[@comeradedoggo3880]

Please make more Dorian Heresy kit-bashes!

[@scottywan82]

Yes, please! That would be amazing!

[@comeradedoggo3880]

Omg Khornate Space wolfs 🥵

[@musiclistnerable]

I don’t have anything to add I just want to say, yes please do more.

[@scalenetriangles2520]

Necron Iron hands!!

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

I would kinda like to see some Nurgle-corrupted Blood Angels

[@daggerfly0087]

Why is this the only dornian heresy conversation I cam find? This idea would be amazing, I WANT A LOYALIST AGRON GOD DAMN IT

[@Amdor]

I'd like to see Ultramarines in their shiny new Tau-tech armor :P

[@Matt-md5yt]

And the Iron Hands in Necron tech lol

[@Diyel]

Sameeeee

[@tontontutur419]

Dornian heresy Iron Hands, with their over-use of Necron tech, would be amaizing !

[@Frozenkoldfury]

Yesss, Dornian Heresy. I'm an Imperial Fists fan and I love this, for the record

[@sixela2268]

Same here battle brother

[@PeteTheWargamer]

A big thank you to Cult of Paints "Painting Imperial Fists Space Marine" guide for helping me out with this particular scheme. Go check out their excellent guides: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3vCi62ro6imhtE

[@RedRam_Menhtrol]

Would love to see you kitbash one of the Primarchs if possible

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

Are you planning on doing more Dornian Heresy conversions?

[@Ammonitemare1711]

The gory mix of typhus corrosion and blood for the blood god is genius and works so well, I'll be trying that soon. Also love that the skulls on the bannerpole are crying blood, its so khorne

[@deathpred2579]

This turned out amazing! I especially love how the battered axes turned out. You should definitely do more Dornian Heresy kitbashes. I absolutely adore your videos and you're the reason I got into this hobby but, Pete, could you please do a kitbash of the Black Templar Castellan? It's such a stiff and rigid model and it seems as though it's nigh impossible to customize/pose the arms differently without using a truck load of green stuff. I'm interested in how you'd approach him.

[@TheAlmightyfoon]

The faux nmm on the shoulders is awesome. Good job. I second the call for a loyalist thousand sons marine!

[@DJ_NSG]

10/10 work here, but now that you're doing DH I'm afraid to say... We're gonna need to see some of those DH secessionist Ultramarines (As well as some of those horrific Nurgle Blood angels, please)

[@henrypaleveda7760]

loyalist Iron Warriors?

[@Diyel]

Ultramarines with Tau teeeech!

[@Kavouraki_]

Id love more of these conversion with loyalist as traitors and the otherway around. Never heard of it and love to see your versions of them!

[@Psilocybear]

This is fantastic! Would love to see more Dornian Heresy stuff.

[@fenrirsrage4609]

Would love to see your take on the Roboutian Heresy up there in being one of my fav alternate heresies.

[@jirojhasuo2ndgrandcompany745]

Hell yeah

[@Harv0206]

Yessss so happy to see painting again

[@3rdCharcoal]

This made my day better I love 4 dead animal bits conversions and watching the painting process especially how you did the axes. Thank you for this video. Also a Chaos Undivided or Khornite Black Templar could be cool.

[@adamscherrer9639]

I love when you include the painting process in detail for these videos. Amazing job as always!

[@joeljohnston3390]

I really enjoy that your chaos conversions aren’t like pitch black and covered in shade. You’re not afraid to let your chaos be a little bright

[@meowstickles8825]

as an iron warriors player I approve of defacing imperial fists (also your kitbash looks awesome, great work!)

[@aaronwald9417]

I recently found your channel and your videos are phenomenal. You’re really making me want to get back into the hobby, if just purely for converting and painting single stunning models. I doubt I’ll ever play tabletop in any form again, but from a creative perspective you are inspiring me to get out the paint brushes and go wild. Your skill and knowledge are amazing.

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

Gotta love them "DEAD ANIMAL BITS." I just got my own box of Citadel Skulls, and they work a treat even for Figma, Gunpla, and Bishojo Plamo kitbashes.

[@a.t.4634]

For models that sport a yellow armor like this, what really works for me, is giving it an undercoat of pink in the shadows/midtone zones, and white as a zenithal. Then, you pop a yellow ink on it through airbrush, and you have an insane looking "not flat" and warm yellow. Saves the step of going all over the model with a glaze.

[@piratemagetjalf6477]

Fantastic model! Both the original mini and your conversion. Hooray for your level of creativity! And great choice of shoulder armor - the spiked one is just insanely cool.

[@Inxx89]

So glad to see the paining tutorials come back! Love you Pete!

[@ThyLordDeath]

If you are kitbashing what if scenarios, I would love to see your take on a demon possessed Grey Knight. I know that this is not supposed to exist, but the idea of a demon powered Grey Knight just sounds awesome in my head, and with your skills I think it could be just as awesome as I think it should be.

[@Matt-md5yt]

We might get something like it if GW is willing

[@broccoligaming7611]

Technically we already have something like that, a Grey Knight corrupted by Slaanesh, I think he's known as the Silver Knight

[@angelboi4907]

I'd love to see some Iron Hands Dornian Heresy conversations because they're basically space marine necron hybrids

[@finlayames6216]

Looks awesome. I’m sorely tempted to do a similar conversion but do the true followers of Khorne, the World Eaters

[@LucionFrostBurn]

This was awesome! Loved the dive into this alternate dimension. If you're in the mood for another, probably excessively more, Khornate conversion, I would adore seeing you tackle the Dornian Heresy Space Wolves (Flesh Wolves? Blood Hounds?). I've seen a few conversions of them, here and there, and as both a SW and Khorne fan, they get me so hyped. Perhaps a Rune Priest as some kind of Khornate Daemon Summoner?

[@StarPupil1]

Happy to see the conversion and painting in one video again!

[@moniterlizard07]

How about doing a couple of primarchs from each side in the Dornian Heresy. Excellent work BTW. You are a credit to kit bashers every where

[@tracystephens9104]

As an Imperial Fist player and collector, I cannot bring myself to do this. Freaking awesome!

[@casualgaming2351]

thanks for the great vide. What i would like to see are conversion videos for the older HH characters like Loken,Abbadon, Sigismund etc. Some of these have not aged so well and because of this newer version would be great

[@richardavery3347]

These are always awesome videos! It would be cool to see you make a thunder warrior though

[@spectralimages8961]

Odd detail to mention, but I gotta say i'm super impressed with whoever done the music to your video mate.

[@xenocide1307]

I'd probably opt for a Chaos Undivided conversion myself, but this Khornite one looks great overall! Loving the alternate timeline interpretations your channel has been doing.

[@NightfallTH]

hihi, not so much a surprise after your Community Post hinting into that direction and then your name in the WarCom article. Still awesome paintjob! Thanks for your inspiring conversions.

[@Matt-md5yt]

awesome glad you did this my friend, some people where really close when you posted the hint

[@marccrener497]

FOR CHAOS!!! And now, what about the Roboutian Heresy with a conversion of Roboute Guilliman himself as the dark master of chaos? ; ) Proposition aside, your conversions and your work are a huge source of inspiration for me. You're juste soooo good ^^

[@jirojhasuo2ndgrandcompany745]

YES

[@Lord_Brownie]

Dornian Heresy Iron Hands and Ultramarines are my first picks but Salamanders are cool too

[@TrippyGame]

This is such a slick looking model. I would adore seeing you tackle a Dornian iron hands model, maybe if they ever get a fun character for 30k it would be a great time to attempt that kitbash

[@willnorman-bargo]

He looks so cool. Like a boss in a video game.

[@thewayfarer8849]

Great idea to cover and a fantastic result

[@equals-kl9hm]

The fists would NEVER fall! Great job, fun subject.

[@linhle8294]

Beautiful conversion

[@TheInSaNeTenno]

I feel like with the Khornate symbol on him he fits in more with the Roboutian Heresy more in my opinion. Still amazing work though!

[@nikot.9920]

🔥🔥🔥 Love this conversion, definitely going to make Fafnir a Son of Russ now with that beard

[@sinthas_]

Absolutely love it You should gift it to Valrak 😁

[@joke_d]

I would love to see your take on a Space Wolf Khorne Berserker!

[@joeythesoulless3518]

I would love to see an iron hands conversation from the dornian Hersey ( mainly because I’m a necron fan)

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

That looks spectacular!

[@Ivemik]

Pete your the king of Kitbashing love your videos

[@broccoligaming7611]

The Dornian Heresy is such a Good Concept. When I first saw a Dornian Heresy World Eater, and DH Fulgrim, they just Hit different...

[@wise8304]

you preceded me by a week, gonna make a warsmith for my iron warriors from this guy

[@BDR123]

So THATS what the yellow was for!

[@DavidTurner-e9s]

I'd be very interested in how you'd kitbash a Primaris Vulkan He'stan.

[@JohnathanJWells]

Great video! Though the yellow came out too desaturated, almost green at parts. A good tip for painting yellow with an airbrush is to prime black, basecoat pink, zenithal with white, then paint the yellow on top. That will create pure yellow highlights and orange shadows in the recesses. Supposedly purple also works for this but I haven't tried it myself.

[@Matt-md5yt]

I heard of that trick before. Glad you brought it up

[@Zekrom249]

0:32 Also the Iron Hands, they actually became Necron marines in a sense.

[@graefx]

Dornian Heresy is a really interesting change of pace for conversions

[@zuchmiyoff4734]

A loyalist night lord from either Dornian or Roboutian would be insanely cool!

[@jedi9935]

Awesome job! Absolutely love it!

[@zombiemanar7823]

I’d love to see how the raven guard would be done in the Dorian heresy

[@НикитаКитиченко]

Very cool conversion.

[@andreabozzola8482]

Man, I would really love to see an ultramarine/tau conversion from the Dornian Heresy... The only ultrasmurfs that make my Blood tingle 🤣

[@tomemaster1744]

Literally found out about the DH today. There’s something really cool about it, even though it’s a Mirrorverse of the HH.

[@ArmageddonUnlimited]

I thought you would kitbash a Chaos Fist... he looks as always. A typical Imperial Fist.... ;) Keep up theawesome work!

Why can i only like this once!!!!!!! Amazing.

[@jimsabo1189]

Giving Valrak the middle digit? Good stuff bud!

[@onepingyboi9363]

This is amazing! Please do more. Maybe something like a loyalist Death Gaurd Praetor?

[@jcillis]

Damn fine job on that yellow.

[@AsterixCodix]

Helbrecht into a Warsmith, now Fafnir Ran into Dornian Heresy Kharn? Nice

[@zackcook5123]

This unbelievably great. So could this be a series? Dornian Heresy loyalist traitors could be very good.

[@kappa6109]

Never heard of Dorian Heresy before this morning. I'm looking it up currently, however as a long time fan I can see this as a possible alternative. Logar says "Father's right I'll embrace the Imperial Truth." Guliaman says "I built my empire and now it's his?" In addition some Loyalist had demons in there planets.

[@jimmiddletonnixa]

Please do angry marine kitbashing!

[@daemonetteboobs]

There's a lot of heresy going on here and all of it is badass. I got a big kick out of the subtle heresy of the application of a paint called iron warriors to an imperial fist. That's heretical in all timelines I think

[@autopilot4087]

Alright call me a heretic now but as someone looking to spice up my combat patrol of them can we get some loyalist Emperors Children or “Pretty Marines”

[@uwuwithcthulhu2300]

Khârn being a good character makes me happy

[@Rabarbarzynca]

Oh no,adorable centurion went rogue!

[@Diyel]

I would love to see the seccessionist Ultramarines with their Tau-esque armor and weapon! A Terminator+Crisis Suit or Centurion+Ghostkeel hybrid would be soooo good.

[@Felurix]

Love the vid, i would love to see other legions, for instance nurgle blood angels look rlly cool and different than normal wh40k death guard. As for me, i really like pre heresy emperor's children and just recently i bought few models with intent of making them loyalists led by Saul Tarvitz. But then i discovered Dornian heresy fanfic through reddit and i really love the idea. Soo i'm making loyalist emperor's children from dornian heresy that somehow ended in main wh40k universe (warp shenigans and such, if people can time travel why not hop to different reality).My army is mostly FW models and MKIV power armour, sadly not much peeps playing wh40k around my place soo they'll end up as display piece i'm afraid. Still tho love the idea, and noticed more dornian heresy vids popping up, maybe we'll get some more fluff for it, can't wait to see more kitbashes!
