Kitbashing Space Marines?? Converting a Primaris Deathwatch Kill Team

It finally happened. After more than 20 long years of neglect I decided to come back to Space Marines... albeit briefly. In this video I'm converting and painting up a Primaris-scale Deathwatch Veterans Kill Team for... Kill Team. I had a lot of fun with this one and I hope you enjoy it too!

maybe like a destroyed city. some remains of the buildings, dust, human remains, something like that could be cool. maybe in a light-greyish color

[@toasthammer]

Always love a blasted out urban landscape 😎

[@HrabiaBarburka]

I really enjoyed this video. Congratulations Mate.

[@toasthammer]

Thank you!!

[@IngoGarza]

you have a pleasing face and voice!

[@toasthammer]

Thank you! That's so kind ☺

[@rickdriver0]

Basing depends on where you want your dudes to fight... You taking it to the enemy? I'd go red/orange Martian dust or blue/purple swamp. You clearing a place out? I like ship decking or urban rubble.

[@toasthammer]

Totally! I think one of the reasons I haven't decided is because I don't have a strong narrative tie for them yet.

[@imalazynub]

martian dust red/orange pigment base would look cool

[@toasthammer]

True! Would definitely provide some good contrast

Great dudes you've done the Watch proud but that's not the chapter symbol for the Minotaurs. They have a completely different symbol. For anyone who doesn't know Deathwatch Vets are same size as the new MK3-MK6 stuff from Horus Heresy so they're not all that smaller than primaris. Said kit is amazing I can forgive the kit missing one or two options when it gives you Two stormshields, two heavy thunder hammers and a plethora of other gear. It's honestly crazy what u get in it.

[@toasthammer]

Huh weird! Looking up the Minotaurs I see that symbol all over the place 🤔 wonder if it was retconned or something Thank you though I'm glad you liked the models! And yes the DW Vets box is absolutely amazing in terms of the variety of wargear and bits you get :D

[@Jimmy-pf7kr]

Any Deathwatch gets a like and sub from me!

[@toasthammer]

Thank you very much! The Ordo Xenos runs strong in these parts

[@garryame4008]

Looks great! What was the size of the chain you used?

[@toasthammer]

Thanks! According to the package it's a 1mm chain

[@garryame4008]

@@toasthammer Fantastic!

[@Matt-md5yt]

this is awesome bud

[@toasthammer]

Thanks!

[@nic6360]

[@toasthammer]

Thank you :D

[@MenschWerdeWesentlich]

Cool stuff! Not a native speaker, but isn’t it called a pin vice? It’s a vice for pins after all.

[@toasthammer]

Well if you want to get technical it's a "pen drill" 😂 but its all semantics in the end

[@MenschWerdeWesentlich]

@@toasthammer The relative importance of semantics aside, you’re right. A pin vice isn’t meant or well suited for drilling, as it has no rotating palm support. Even though it’s hard to blame anyone for confusing the two almost identical designs.

[@tannergee]

Stumbled onto your channel, first video I've seen. The bash looks great! And is this the music from The Sims 2 I hear?

[@toasthammer]

Thank you so much! And I believe this is OG Sims music 😎

[@theezekarion164]

Dont base them keep them black or find clear bases goes better with mats
