The first time I’ve actually seen a 3rd Legion Marine that actually looks like one. Also, just the small curve to the sword you added made it look so much better.

[@revanruler6404]

If you don't mind 3d printing thatevilone does great heresy emperor's children iirc

[@an0nycat]

Perfect conversion. You even added real metal balls to the tabard strips!

[@thedubstepaddict3675]

I do like me some balls

I love this, he’s one green stuff cape away from being his own praetor, this is wonderful how simple it seems, thank you Pete

[@HuevoBendito]

You had me at "PRETTIEST Space marines"

[@Highland_Ronin]

This is absolutely gorgeous. I'm blown away by the hair sculpting. Very excited to see Iron Warriors next.

[@fidezealmun]

You and a few other KZbinrs got me into starting. Just wanted to say Thank you

[@rodneygaul2227]

Beautiful , I really like that face and your customization. I'm not bad mouthing your plasma pistol choice , but I would have gone with green to "clash" with the purple .

[@marksimpkins5081]

Sweet conversion. EC player myself. that hair looked ace and has inspired me to have a go myself!

[@gethingyn-lokclifford-jone371]

Really cool to see you come back to this series with a fresh start!! Looks really cool so far and, with some personal bias, can't wait for your new Night Lords!

[@catosicarius2942]

Your videos are what inspired me to actually start painting my first army! My Night Lords are looking fresh!

[@ChainGraveGames]

I know you've just done Emperor's Children... But a Lucius the Eternal kitbash would be amazing.

[@mystery_box1172]

Looking forward to the day you do the Thousand Sons! Also love this mini, absolutely gorgeous.

[@zhufortheimpaler4041]

dude, your conversions are getting better and better with each video

[@jesperemptyhead]

This is so impressive. Yet you make it look kinda achieveable for plebs like me. Thanks

[@danielbetham80]

This is amazing! a great show case of what the Emperors Children should've looked like in their prime. Would love to see a Thunder Warrior conversion, I am thinking of making a 500pt list of them and would love to see how you would handle it.

[@danioshea]

What rules are you intending to use for that? If I'm understanding things correctly, one Thunder Warrior is equivalent to a big handful of Space Marines in terms of power!

[@danielbetham80]

@@danioshea I was just thinking of using them as proxy primaris marines for a bit of flavour. Though I have seen a few custom rules for them which have peeked my interest.

[@sweterollo8951]

What an amazing display of artistic skill! The dimensions of the figure look so much better than the art one often sees.

[@jakemarzano2298]

I can't wait for the Iron Warriors. I love the 4th, they're my favorite HH legion.

I really like the copper coil idea for the plasma, it kind of makes a bit more sense, and is as nice to me, and easier :D

[@nikot.9920]

Happy I got to see this early. Great conversion 🙏

[@alessiodecarolis]

This is an astounding work, it's incredible that wasn't necessary any heavy work or finding strange pieces, pratically it was,except for the GS, a conversion possible with spare parts that everyone has in his bit box👍

[@BadgerRobot]

The level of tiny detail on this build is insane! Nice work!

[@sockmonkeyjg]

Not sure if you have already filmed the others but an untapped potential of usable heads for marines is actually age of sigmar, I got the idea from white dwarf but its actually clever they have alot of long hair models that might make your job easier (Especially if you look in the choas side) Love the model though!

[@Darluk]

Pete the Wargamer: sculptor, painter, hairstylist. The model looks great! Thanks for sharing.

[@Doctor_Path]

Your conversion is so beautiful

[@peterkaiser3931]

Hey Pete, I really enjoy watching your conversions and wanted to say thank you. I used a few of your Tips to convert some Centurios to Obliterators.

[@flaviomonteiro1414]

Fabulous!!! Eager to see your take on the Thousand Sons...

[@Hi_I_am_Ed]

I loved that case so much I just ordered it. It'll do a nice job in keeping my stuff in order.

[@ProAmateurGamers]

Ooob that stiplling effect is nice for building up colour on the flat areas!

[@maritheganger1237]

Love the vid Pete! Would love to see what you do to adapt the Mark VI for word bearers! ^^

[@evelynlamoy8483]

OOoo! I used many of the same blood angels bits when converting my warband! they split off from the emperor's children not long after the heresy and share similar asthetics to their heresy era armor. I picked up many of these same paints prepping to paint them, but they are still sitting in storage.

[@robertleigh400]

love the green stuff work/tips. can't wait to try out to touch up my marines, thank you!

[@Maximusbrutus2995]

Soo damn good man loved the painting guide as well something really cool about it!

[@KimHarderFog]

Great stuff! Can't wait to see how you're going to kit-bash the rest of the legions.

[@HViitanen]

Amazing result! Also great to see some Richard Grey in there! Been thinking of either doing my army that way, or just buy an airbrush. Would love to see a non-metallic early, indigo AL scheme ala Legion cover whenever you get to the XXth, since everywhere else people do the metallic ones.

[@alphonsecoco3]

This is amazing!! The hair, tabard, and chest fitting are all amazing conversion works, and that freehand is envious. My only true critique would be the face. I think the reikland settled too much in the cheeks, making him look guant faced and a little grizzled, as opposed to a beautiful warrior-artist

[@DreamVikings]

Hey. Thanks a ton! The hair thing waa waaaaay easier than I thought it would be. It looks cool on my mini. Realy makes the whole squad into emperor children. Plus, I also had that very spare pauldron from the death company. 😂 THANKS!!

[@sinisterpuddle6655]

For anyone who wants to use 3rd part bits, the Puppetswar winged shoulderpads are a fantastic fit for EC, i used them myself for some special characters and a command squad.

[@66morningview]

Love the idea of this series. I really like the look of the technique used here, the Emperor's Children are incredibly hard to get a decent looking purple, might try this out. Also a really excellent conversion captures the legion perfectly.

[@revanruler6404]

Apparently the new luxion purple contrast is pretty good

[@samparkinson3236]

Been looking forward to this! Hope the White Scars guide avoids using the Ko'sorro Khan kit, lots of guides for using it on KZbin so hoping for something different!

[@Matt-md5yt]

Pretty cool Emperor's Children marine guide my friend

[@Kieran_P100]

Can we have the next one already 😂 great work as always

[@antonjonsson424]

Great sense of drama, this really looks like how I thought a emperors children astartes would look

[@codyray909]

Got me hanging on the edge of my seat waiting for you to tackle our glorious Iron bois 😂

[@Therealblacktux]

Pete please I need the iron warriors. (The faster we get the lame legions out of the way, the faster we get the Luna wolves)

[@timothorgodofpunder8129]

Great, and I like the way you painted the armour! Going to try that myself.

[@anonymoose7412]

Loving these conversion AND painting videos for the Horus heresy

[@mjr8888]

I really like the colour you picked for the plasma coils. I dont mind that people choose red, blue, green, etc. but a copper colour feels more sci-fi like. Ill be using that for my Guard plasma guns.

[@fitisdead8029]

any EC or slaanesh conversions are appreciated ur stuff is great.

[@nathanbrinson]

Exceptional freehand work!

[@acledfloyd]

That was GREAT! I very much look forward to the rest of the series, especially the Death Guard, my favorite.

[@marccrener497]

This conversion is great!

[@deusmortis9751]

finally pete comes back with his master works. I need him for Alpha Legion, I don't know what to use for power daggers

You could represent with a variety of small knives perhaps from the guard extras?

[@deusmortis9751]

@@zackcook5123 which guard kit has knives?

[@calzoni_325]

I cannot wait for the WS video, great series so far

[@eldarmark]

Huh. That paint case actually looks pretty neat.

[@lowlygrinder2977]

A good head for Emperor's Children is the long haired head from the ETB Chaos Warrior's kit, in fact as much as I hate those bare heads for Chaos Warriors, I picture them being more bearded, a lot of them make great heads for traitor guardsmen or cultists, heads like the one with the lips shriveled back especially, but really any of the heads would work, and to be honest I find most of the traitor guard heads to be a bit lackluster, most of them just look like normal disheveled Guard.

[@comradebusman3]

Man, both of these have been so good! I can’t wait until we get to my favorite chapter, The Salamanders! I hate that they’re so far back though.

[@ccrooper88]

Looks pretty incredible!

[@11Gunn]

👏🏼 Stunning! would love to see an imperial fist conversion like this

[@bad-people6510]

What I am liking about the new Horus Heresy stuff it it's much easier to find models without aquillas on them.

[@leaguesmanoframsgate]

You know, I bet the heads from the new Amazons Blood Bowl kit would be brilliant for making Emperor's Children without having to model your own hair out of green stuff.

[@isisnmagic1812]

Awesome video, love the work and it maybe just me but this guys face reminds me of Gary Busey in Predator 2 , lions tigers and bears oh my. Lol

[@razmere924]

Most impressive hair sculpting. Surprised you didn't just get a Stormcast head.

[@alireid21]

Nice video dude! Was wondering.. will you be doing a kitbash of the New Cultists and Commune? To me, they look too *Age of Sigmar* and the Commune looks like they've been pulled from Lord of The Rings. I am big fan of the old ones and the Renegade kits from forgeworld and I hope we could see a kitbash like this. Again thanks pete! Keep up with the builds and painting 😁👍🏻

I've got a sanguinary guard box that I've not touched. Awesome idea using that kit to create that perfect look for the emperors children. Might give it a go myself And thanks for the green stuff info, I can remember using it as a kid trying to make robes for Dark Angel's and Chaplains. I SUCKED 😂 it's put me off ever since
