Make Centurions Actually Look Good! Part 1: Conversion

[@yashabreslove8276]

Using the excess parts of the model to improve the standard model? That’s brilliant.

[@HaussVonHorne]

"Gently rub the feet." Got it.

[@TheStargateNerd]

"This pleases the Astartes."

[@templarhelmet3844]

"painted imperial fist *GUY*" not rogal, not rogal dorn, not even lord adorable, just "imperial fist guy" *shakes head in imperial fist*

[@HighMarshalBiggusDickus]

*shakes fist* in imperial fist

[@asiburger]

A side by side of both from several angles would have been cool! just put them down on the table next to each other and maybe a Primaris too, so you see how big the height difference in relation to a standard dude is. Apart from that, remarkably stellar job!

[@euansmith3699]

For cutting the leg armour in two, you could use a Panel Scriber, like a Tamiya 300074091 Plastic Scriber II. The conversion is great; especially the way that you use bits from kit rather than requiring a second model to finish it.

[@Sgt40K]

Perfect timing, I'm working on these guys next. I'm definitely going to do this. The Centurions always reminded me of little kids stuffed into winter clothes.

[@larrymanns364]

Reaction to video title: ANGER I like how the Centurions look Reaction to the actual video: ADORATION I love how YOUR Centurions look

[@ck77854]

Can we see what your converted guy next to the standard guy

[@Skipper9527]

Moving the shoulder pads up and in really does a lot for this mini, I only do that and then make then a tiny bit higher by putting a bit of GS in the waist assembly. I dont think they need more to be honest

[@roaringlaughter3812]

I wasn’t aware i should hate centurion models ive always liked them but thats just me. Def taking notes on how to make em look more awesome

[@peterbanderas8184]

Wow, you gave me some great ideas for some Alpha Legion Obliterators... I want them to look like normal centurions (since my army is meant to look like normal marines and the models basically have the same stats and general size) but slightly different. I think your conversions and a few sneaky and "mostly" hidden mutations might do the trick. Thanks

[@13Robzilla]

Really good video. Conversions can be scary but with awesome instructions that are clear and concise and easy to do it takes a lot of the hesitation/fear out of it.

[@TheClassicDoomGuy]

Simple conversion with very nice outcome. I love it.

[@avgjoepainting]

I just converted mine and stood them next to some regular ones.. the difference is bananas 😂. These are soo much better 👍

[@sjhhej]

Centurions do actually look good.

[@jacklovell3181]

Made some kitbashed cebturions myself the otther week. I gave them siege shields made from spare tank doors. I know they don't get any use from it buy its a cool astethic. I also gave them a thunder hammer as I'm really not keen on their drills they come with. Apatt from that I added a few templar helmets to fit the knightly look of the chapter and some robes made from cannabalised storm cast eternal peices

[@grimgar3048]

That marine really appreciated that foot rub you gave him. Seriously though, very nice conversion and another great video

[@ramboplaysm14]

I am doing this conversion right now, thanks @Jack of Clubs

[@Glamour_Smashed_Face]

Great tutorial! HUGE improvements to the centurion. 🤙

[@MrGogo1337]

Damn i wish i could have seen this video 2 weeks ago. Now i have to buy a new box of centurions :). Nice tutorial, see ya on twitch

[@BeastnBrushes]

all those details really make a mark on the personality of the mini. Awesome tutorial btw!

[@Akieth0]

I am so glad I was lazy and didn't assemble mine yet. Hooray for procrastination !!!

[@domallan7739]

Dude this is sooo good!!! I've been watching you for a while now and I'm really feeling it now, I think you've improved so much over such a short time in terms of the production and wisdom/learning you're delivering. Thanks heaps, keep going! Love your work!

[@martineasterman5170]

These models have been crying out for that conversion. I'm guessing you have noticed the heavy bolter centurions use in the imperial fists siegbreaker formation enabling 43 additional mortal wounds per turn using 3 co lol!

[@skunk12]

10:43 Sharks? Thats what's up!

[@DoveEnigma13]

I don’t hate them. I like the way they look. Having buckets of dice on shooting phase helps

[@TeaPoweredModels]

These look really good! Great job!

[@hansm.henrich2140]

Now to figure out how to make assault centurions without the drills...

[@Mephiston]

Pretty good tutorial, only thing I dont like is the missing lower leg struts and the pistons on the back of the feet, but can always just put them back in

[@CaptJPurdie]

so glad someone made this. The vanilla models kinda look like Dr Evil proportion wise.

[@mattaaron3592]

Amazing work! I really like tutorials like this to show different ways to convert up models. Fully of great tips. Cheers!

[@andyroobrick-a-brack9355]

It looks like an actual person is piloting the armor. I actually like this more mobile-looking, sleeker design then the Terminator suits.

[@Zybbars]

they look a lot better! good work. i suggest to include a final side by side comparison next time

[@s7ick3y19]

please do a painting tutorial for that gray marine

[@TheSixYardBox]

Man I hated my centurions that much I sold them after building and painting them back in 7th...will have to get some more and try this. They genuinely look good once converted. Can't wait to see the next video on these. I'm seriously thinking about doing imperial fists myself

[@paulofreire7520]

Awesome! Cunning and very well done. 👍🏻

[@Carcearion]

Wow! I really did not like the original Centurion models, but this is an amazing improvement! Great job.

[@shirleylyn11]

Really made these look good!

[@doubleheadedeagle6769]

Oohhh boy can’t wait to do this myself. Onya dude, nicely done.

[@TheCinderfang]

Saw another conversion that used intersessor bodies but honestly think I'll have to follow this instead.

[@cesarefabbri8480]

Where can I buy that "green stuff?"

[@djevisceration2733]

That conversion, good sir is straight BAD ASS. Now I actually want Centurions. You should work your magic on the Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought. I feel it looks old timey like something in fallout. Cool for fallout but not so much 40k.

[@scpfoundationagentsmith9301]

You realize how old they are right

I keep wanting to get into this hobby, but I keep thinking about my cousin who tried years ago, he spent almost $500 spent SOOO long working on everything, and didn't even come close to having a full army.....

[@stormxlr]

Find deals on Facebook a lot of people selling. Eitherwat you want to start small. Pick up a kill team box.

[@Elzaneo288]

what are some alternative parts i could use to extend the legs so not to use the siege drills as would like to magnetize the weapons allowing me to change between assault and devastator centurions

[@jackofclubspainting8125]

you can use cutoffs of the sprue itself to make the spacers

[@Starburst7641]

Im all about them green stuff balls. Great tutorial , thanks guy.

[@mr.jingles7540]

Just tried this on one model to see how easy it actually is. Yeah it's almost an injustice to not do this with your centurions.

I think it makes sense to have his head pressed in the armor coz it a small marine in huge bulky armor the armor bits I will do coz it looks better

[@andreasmuller4666]

Looks damn cool except for the shield over the second bank of huricane bolter barrels. Gues that is just me but i´m allways for more guns over less guns wherever possible on my marines.

so to do this I wouldn't be able to equip them with the drills, which is how I want mine equipped... damn

[@jackofclubspainting8125]

just use bits of sprue or the lascannons.

[@Cgates642]

Great work.

[@Rawkit_Surgeon]

How dare you! Chonky centurions *are* cool! It is said that the Emperor himself, beloved by all, cuddles with one of these bad boys every night.

[@finaladvance5085]

Where do you get green stuff? I always hear about it but I don’t actually know who sells it

[@thepoliticalgunnut8018]

Try any Warhammer store or look on Games workshops website

[@backfisch6621]

Ah a xenos get the flamethrower

[@chaoslordtim1176]

why is his superglue black? I've never seen that before

[@wyattturk4508]

BSI IC-2000 rubber and carbon infused. Doesnt crystalize like normal super glue. It has flex to it. Way better than normal superglue

[@jonbigcawk]

black super glue?

[@LCFC81]

Man and machine, power extreme.

[@lanasmith4795]

Centurions? I completely forgot what this model is called. I was confused why you were referencing an old 80s cartoon

[@duerf5826]

Say what you want about Primaris but their models have great proportion. Anything before looks derpy as hell.

[@IainK76]

Very nice.

[@bradyrigg1426]

Great as always!

[@brenbo_TM]

So can centurions be used with blood angels?

....YES

[@michaelwilson5114]

He is fortifying this position.

[@acrylicchemist1432]

Why is your super glue colored? Is it for the tutorial?

[@jackofclubspainting8125]

its BSI: Carbon and Rubber Infused. when it sets, it doesnt crystalize like normal super glue, it has some flex too it which is great for minis bc the bond isnt brittle. best super glue i have ever used. amazing

[@torymiddlebrooks]

Is it IC-2000 or something else? I'm very interested in buying some

[@jackofclubspainting8125]

@@torymiddlebrooks yes it says ic-2000 on the bottle

[@torymiddlebrooks]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing

[@torymiddlebrooks]

I noticed you used some regular super thin in parts too, do you have suggestions on when to use the IC-2000? Is it mostly just joints for the extra flex?

[@CENTURION.CARPATIC]

Centurions look good from the first day they are born! No need of conversions here! :))

[@Kevin-pe5jz]

What if i want to run assault centurions?

[@wyattturk4508]

use other bits...

[@stormxlr]

Why is your superglue black

[@jackofclubspainting8125]

BSI IC-2000 superglue. it has carbon and rubber in it. so its black. plus side is that it doesnt crystalize, thus its not brittle like most superglue. its awesome stuff

[@hewlett260]

I saw in one of the comments you said your super glue was BSI. Would you mind putting up a link? I tried looking it up and there were like 100 different ones with different codes.

I really disliked the centurion models from the start, they just looked weird to me. After your conversion, they look a lot less weird, so at least I know now what weirded me out: Just the very odd proportions on the model.

[@justincase8019]

IMHO they look terrible...

[@haawkler3241]

they're short. . . like too short. like the size of a normal marine short. a tleast now they are taller than primaris.

[@gogohero1]

Didn't even reference the original tutorial you copied this idea down to a T from? Lame......

[@wyattturk4508]

I learned how to do this via word of mouth at a hobby shop years ago. I was unaware of any publications. If u have a link I would be more than happy to put it in the video description.

[@NicholasBrakespear]

Step 1: Acquire time machine Step 2: Go back to when GW thought it was a good idea to start introducing loads of new products to a setting that's all about ancient history and technological stagnation in a bid to increase profits instead of focusing on properly utilising the franchise in other forms of media. Step 3: Find out who decided to do this. Step 4: Apply power fist to groin while shouting "Hire someone to oversee computer games and film rights properly, and stop retconning everything! We don't need to know the origin of all the species! We don't need the Eye of Terror to change! And for the love of Khorne, do NOT put power armour in larger power armour so that Space Marines can Space Marine while they Space Marine!" Nice tweaks though.

[@christophercant]

Maaaan, I like how you think, and couldn't agree more. They had such a badass setting
