I'm not even into 40K but I really like to watch you work. Really nice finished product.

[@brettroach5287]

Your painting, converting work and enthusiasm is wildly inspiring. Any time I want to get that spark back to get a project going, all I really need to do is watch one of your videos.

[@cbjewelz]

What a dream if this was your full time job right?

[@theemissary1313]

GW need to make more banners that are held in the hand of the model.

[@TheRealTerranMarine]

Like the Bladeguard Ancient from the Indominus set, but as an actual banner

[@ewill3435]

Absolutely agree! I kitbashed my Cadian command squad's banner bearer to be holding it out mid charge, as opposed to over the shoulder while at idle. Sure, it now sticks way over the base and is a tad front heavy, but it looks so good! (imo)

[@TheOneWhoSometimesSaysOk]

We need an admech banner holder

[@colinmoffat5215]

Terminator ancient comes in the blood angel Terminator box - still available on GW webstore

[@ian8477]

I bought two of them recently, because I can't decide on whether or not to magnetise things, argh.

[@Kunglennie]

I believe there is one in the old Deathwing Terminator kit aswell!

[@bartekw7188]

@@Kunglennie yes there is, i even used banner from that kit to turn my old terminator mini into ancient

[@teax25]

He talking about the one that come in the Spaces Marine Hero Serie 2 set. Yes, Terminator ancient comes in the blood angel Terminator box in GW webstore, but he referring to the one that was only available in a paint set that was only release in Japan. It have been many years, the other Terminators in the series was release as part of a board game, expect that Terminator ancient.

[@MyAlessandro1995]

The one in the Blood angels box is for Blood Angels technically

[@MrMulligan84]

I'd love to see EoB kitbash Assault Terminators out of Deathwing Knights...

[@miskatonic__]

you should make another ancient because someone has to go to battle while this banner is in the washing machine

[@ZRAMN-]

The washing machine is still unusable. Someone didn't load it correctly, and the mechanicus thought the rhythmic banging was the machine spirit, trying to play music. The wash cycle has been running for as long as I can remember.

[@WilhelmScreamer]

The sculpting work is so good, but I am baffled that you just left the deathwing crest out in the open like that

[@AlaynaZebra]

my thought to i wonder what his explanation is for that was never stated in the video

[@soupordave]

I kept waiting for Jay to scrape it off, then waiting for him to realize he didn't.

[@dippshow]

Honestly I'm pulling my hair out right now hahaha

[@ctirons]

I mean it’s a sword, doesn’t look *too* out of place for a Templar model. I was planning on doing the same thing with my own Templars using DAngel base kits.

[@SloppokeymaX]

@@ctironsit’s not just a sword it’s a broken sword which is specifically death wing

[@CocaoDemon]

Every time you show the nailed skulls and share the concept behind them, I fall in love with it a little more. But it's particularly interesting for an ancient termie. Something about it just feels so epic and really true to the amount of veneration Spehss Murns show to their battle brothers.

[@chaoshunter01]

I made one years ago. About 1½ years after the 2nd version of the plastic Terminators were released. Used the Assault Terminator kit and the banner from the Command Squad. Made a Terminator Command Squad.

[@p_noizesacha]

I really like how he holds the banner but an ancient would never disrespect his banner like that.

[@daaaah_whoosh]

I recently kitbashed a regular Ancient just because I got a bit lot that included a flag, but he makes a nice centerpiece for my infantry. I've also been kitbashing scouts by using tactical marines and putting green stuff on their biceps and thighs to simulate cloth, and while I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out I'm definitely not good enough with green stuff yet to make a whole banner or even a cape with it.

[@douhboy76]

Ignore the tone of surprise. The flow of the cloth into his hand is...chef's kiss.

[@iain.sm.c]

That sculpting job is fantastic, Jay. Great job

[@adamtomlinson918]

I am constantly impressed with how well you can level up your contrast paint undercoat to look so good. Love this guy!

[@blaholtzen]

There shouldn't be anything stopping them from releasing the one they use the picture of, it would already have a mould on its own sprue, and the kill team starter box makes it clear they're not apposed to repurposing heroes minis. Maybe they just need a reminder to actually release it.

[@o7_AP]

Because then there FOMO blind boxes wouldn't be FOMO

[@patrickcolgan6301]

It’s also not in the same scale as the new leviathan ones…

[@11AleZZ]

​@@o7_AP SMH 1 and 3 was re released several times, 2 never was re released

[@11AleZZ]

The problem is that they are in the smaller first born marines size, so I don't think people gonna buy that old size minis

[@SilimSavertin]

@@o7_AP Dude the box was japanese exclusive, while GW is greedy they're not "let's make them preorder a box in a whole different country MWAHAHAHAHA" greedy.

[@toadkillerdog4282]

That’s the Aurelian shroud! Tannhausers bones doesn’t have a dedicated bit.

[@thedecisiveraindrop4868]

Bro, thats been annoying me too lol. My termi captain uses the Marshall’s iron halo to represent Tbones.

[@Nk-72-85]

A fellow Terminator Ancient user! Loved the conversion! Working on my own atm for Dark Angels. The Unforgiven Task force has an Ancient only enhancement that gives the squad 6+ FNP.

[@TheMousquetaire]

The way you understand the WH40k universe is second to none. Your level is excellent and the way you share it is so helpul with an outstanding good spirit. Thank you so much.

[@Cycl0ps]

looks really cool! 1 slight correction tho, the shroud you used it technically the aurelian shroud, Tbones are just small bits of bones according to the flavour text. Like the skull in the hand or the handbones found in the BT upgrade sprue

[@tronalddump5461]

I LOVE these videos. Seeing how creative someone can be to make these figurines even better is the reason I love this hobby. Keep up the great work!

[@dustinjones2137]

Very impressive creative detail. Great video. I have sense changed how I paint metallics from your Ork videos. I’m new to warhammer and don’t have a ton of time to build and paring but I feel wrong about playing a game before getting my models painted. Keep up the excellent work.

[@satire__]

hell yeah, love me some termies Speaking of which, I'd like to see you tackle a box of HH-era Terminators...maybe kitbash them into Assault Terminators?

[@EruCoolGuy]

They tend to be a bit small, but that'd be interesting for sure.

[@satire__]

@@EruCoolGuy Jay turned Centurions from stocky lil guys into genuinely threatening units. I reckon he's got this in the bag

[@tacotots_132]

Jay my man, you out did yourself this time! This model is F’en sick!!!! Probably one of the coolest custom models I’ve seen in a while! Keep it up brother!

[@richardstott8973]

Making a deathwing ancient in terminator armour is on my to-do list for this weekend. I ordered the leviathan captain off ebay for this last weekend. I have some left over bits from the deathwing knights, the dark angles upgrade spru and some 3D printed bits.

[@OskarFojucik]

11:58 give him... a head... nice work!

[@screaming_cat2007]

I am doing lamenters and I’ve noticed you’ve done a bunch of checkered patterns in red and yellow and was wondering if you have any tips for painting checkers.

[@MrKevoshi]

Do a crisscross pattern like you are making a Tic-Tac-Toe board then color in everywhere square.

[@silverblack110]

Another suggestion from a different creator is to draw out the checkers using water color paint (something cheap from a dollar store or Walmart etc) until you have an outline you are happy with. You can easily wipe away the paint if you mess up.

[@mrktchp8335]

he gave some good tips in his Warhound Titan video

[@KOTEC525]

absolutely stellar work! Both the paint job and conversion!

[@ashtodust]

what you did with the right hand power fist is amazing. really great job !

[@intzbk1]

Years ago I bought a box of the terminator Space Marine Heroes, I didn't get the standard bearer. I don't think you were guaranteed to get them all until the Plague Marine launch. Yours looks good, great job!

[@SkylineSagas]

*I love how it looks like he's holding balloons.. Just a terminator's day at the fair!*

[@greg_mca]

Space marine terminator ancients were buildable from the deathwing command squad, but that's also discontinued, though I suspect the banners are easy to find. The ironclad dreadnought banner is also about the same size

[@keithedergaming1047]

An ancient in terminator armor also comes in the deathwing command squad which sadly got axed not too long ago but I think they still sell them and they’re easy to come by most places on line (they’re not primaris sculpts but they are still pretty cool)

[@adamscottv]

Good job. This is one of you best kitbashes yet. IMHO, the banner in red or yellow would have popped more.

[@Lukysao]

Yes there is still some potential now that looking like surrender flag🏳️

[@adamscottv]

@@Lukysao True, didn't think of that.

[@hazemangames]

Jay, your painting has improved so much over the years! Been really nice to follow your progress

[@chaosof99]

I turned the Deathwing Knight free mini into a Terminator Ancient for my Salamanders army. I made things easy for me though. I chose the Thunderhammer and Shield. For the hammer I used a pit from a Grey Knights kit, and I just used the shield that came with the Deathwing Knight itself. For the banner I made a cross from some Drukhari spears that would be on their boats, and stuck some shield bits meant for the chests of Space Marine captains on the end points. The banner itself I sculpted from Green Stuff.

[@euansmith3699]

That is a fantastic mini and the paint job is very cool.

[@stevenkelly7354]

I used the same freebie one for mine for my blood angels army (although I got most of the "heroes" terminators i couldn't get the ancient) i decided to use the banner from the blood angels assault kit and loved the finished mini.

[@marcwittkowski5146]

This is so awesome! What a gorgeous conversion- and great paintjob!

[@Rottenflieger.]

For what it's worth the terminator ancient was in the 9th edition codex too. Basically when the Dark Angels and Blood Angels codexes got converted to supplements, those 2 chapters' terminator banner guy datasheets got put in the regular marine codex, but GW picked the SM Heroes model for the datasheet because it is generic enough to work for ultramarines (as everything in the codex was painted up a ultramarines. In 10th though they seem to be not as fussed about generic marine units having an ultramarine colour scheme, so we have units like the jump pack captain represented by a death company chaplain model on the datasheet.

[@commmarine9547]

Minor correction. The current iteration of Terminator armor isn’t the relic. That version didn’t exist during the heresy. The crux terminatus on the armor is the relic that makes the current armor “special” or irreplaceable as it is said to contain a small part of the emperors armor (as I am sure you know). Much like astartes gene seed being irreplaceable once lost, the same is said for the resilience of the terminator armor without the crux.

[@imfam0usjay]

love how it came out looks amazing

[@kamerona4723]

oh that banner brings me back, that rogue trader chaplain on bike was the first video i watched from this channel

[@Chris-lr2qb]

Rogue

[@9171paladin]

That is gorgeous. And gets the wheels turning!!!

[@Brissebrajan]

Terminators are what i think about when it comes to space marines. As a kid, not having a lot of money i remember doing every possible think i could to earn a litte money to save up for buying terminators. Back then they were metal figures, probably the most expensive unit. To this day, they are still the models i spend the most time converting and painting. I have lost count of how many Wolfguard terminators i own.

[@FairPlayGaming]

The Space Marine Heroes Terminator with Banner is/was a Japanese exclusive that came with a paint set; it was never available outside of said country.

[@NicholasTurnerOZ]

I was able to buy one from a supplier here in Australia. it was not generally available here, but I do know a few people were buying the kits direct from Japan.

[@RedCrusader-ph2vk]

If you're looking for new Terminators, might I recommend Tortuga Bay's Saturn Heavy Squad and Tortuga Panzer Squad? They're based on the 1st edition Terminators, so they're suitably _ancient,_ and are a little bit less expensive than the official GW Terminators. The Saturns, in lore, are prototypes designed by Vulcan, so you could say that your Black Templars _"found"_ some ancient Salamander relics, and decided to take them on some crusades before returning them to their cousins! There aren't a lot of videos painting the Tortuga Bay Terminators, so I'd love to see them painted up as Black Templars!

[@Albinospenguin]

Pretty sure he already painted the saturnine by tortuga bay a while ago

[@codyinacoma]

Jay, I've seen a lot over the years. But here hear my man. This has to be one of your best custom jobs IMO. Maybe not painting but, this guy is good. *Chefs kiss.

[@itwassean]

Isn't that bit supposed to be The Aurelian Shroud? Looks amazing! This has inspired me to do some kitbashing. I picked up 5 of the terminators from a few months ago, and maybe I'll finally start messing with them.

[@dreadlordherk6367]

You were able to get that ancient in the US. It was 1 of 2 "secret" rare minis in the set and i lucked out on my first blind box buy. I managed to get the entire set.

[@BEANSTHESEAL]

can you make a tutorial on the nameplates on your BT bases?

[@robertwhite5839]

Love the Model bud but im afraid to say that Tannhausers bones isn't a banner. The Banner is the Aurelian Shroud.

[@SpicyRamen0700]

Yup

[@TheThewhatnow]

I have that OOP Ancient in Terminator Armor in my Deathwing army, it’s a lovely sculpt.

[@cameronrandel5896]

I have a terminator ancient in my greyknights which was an option in the brotherhood terminator squad box as well as a narthesiam

[@100thmonkey]

Awesome kitbash, and video. I'm a bit surprised by the blank banner choice, but oh well.

[@CorinTack]

I'm sure there's a video out there somewhere that answers this, but how do you make the name labels for attaching to the base?

[@klug5916]

Epoxy putty on some plastic card to create the banner. That is actually a very good idea. Thank you fro bringing it to my attention!

[@koenter2104]

I love these chrachter kitbash videos. Keep it up!!

[@KeC.S.]

The rules for this guy existed in 9th ed as well, i got my old codex and if the german and US Versions are coherent when it comes to pages, the rules for this guy are on Page 148 right After the other ancients. But still cool to See that you finally made one for yourself :D

[@fabianlmorel-ramos6324]

Following a similar path of making my own when it comes to acquiring limited models. I've successfully made Lt. in phobo and with combi weapon; now I'm thinking on how to make 2 suppressor squads

[@SuperEagle112]

When those boxes were available I could get them at Barnes and nobles and with the discount I could get two for less than $20. I bought more than a couple and eventually ended up with the whole terminator set. It was awesome and they were great looking.

[@Greg5560]

We need to see a Mastadon tank full of terminators rocking up the table

[@iGuttsi]

only 6:40 in and i just gotta say that banner looks amazing

[@Hybridchld]

I made mine out of a 1st MK3 Turtleback Terminator mini. Can't get more ancient that that :D

[@salomonvischschraper7591]

[@williamamely7038]

What a great Terminator Model. I would say you've outdone yourself, Jay, but I no doubt have said or thought this many more times in the past. Great job!

[@teejaysmith3002]

@eons of battle could you please do some battle reports on your black Templar because it would be really cool to see them in action on the table top

[@puddledelta6285]

it's a little thing but the lantern's light on the banner looks really good, amazing work as always

[@johnfarscape]

You can just use the standard arms from assault terminators, and put them on the new scale terminators, and they look fine, the old forgeworld Black Templars terminator storm shields make them look even better.

[@ArmsandArmor]

this is one of my favorite videos, great job! i want to make a terminator ancient for my deathwing

[@kojiosita]

This is awesome, your terminators sound like they are badass in combat and definitely look hella cool

[@holdencross5904]

I love this more than the GW official. Also Cataphractii and Tartaros terminators and Saturnine Termis are on my list. I own all but saturnine and death wing

[@Ex4_]

There is actually one right power fist, that many people use to give it to that Leviathan Captain - buuut I've forgotten from which model they get it. I just remember that the part is really hard to get as so many people want it hahah

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

Wooow. I didn't think that banner was gonna look good, but it looks unbelievably good. You never cease to amaze and inspire.

[@nofuxgivens2797]

Nice work but might have been easier to use an Aggressor fist. I’ve used 1 for a terminator and a few for right handed fists for my blood angels who had a lot of left handed pistols with the death company box

[@connorshort2308]

Honestly I would love to see you kitbash deathwing knights into black templar assault terminators

[@billdefranza4927]

Dude, the way you sculpted the banner is amazing.

[@heartlessvulture885]

I have a unit that I call the big ball of death and immortality which has a captain and ancient with a 10 man assault terminators and give them the 5+ fnp enhancment. In 6 months of consistent play against competitive lists, only 1 person was able to kill it and it was triple rogal dorn

[@goldenhedgehog9]

With how much you love terminators, I'm a little surprised I haven't seen a video of you painting cataphractii or Tartaros terminators. Yeah, they're for Heresy, but they have rules for 40k so you can still use them.

Nice!! I converted that Deathwing Knight mini of the month GW did a few months ago into an Ancient for my Salamander army. Im not a dark angels players so I didnt really know what to do with it other than find a use for it with any HQ's and characters in the codex. I managed to get 2 of those deathwing knights and got a free Ancient and Captain out of it haha. Best free units Iv ever gotten lol
