This man has almost single handedly inspired me to throw out the instructions of every kit I get and just do whatever the hell

[@LittleTemplar98]

Pls do !

[@redakumaproduction]

Kit bashing is a verry fun process !!❤❤

[@jossypoo]

YES DO. I have only very rarely fucked things up beyond repair, and even then, there's always some characterization that comes along with explaining the missing bits.

[@santiagomartin4735]

​@@jossypoowhen we fuck things beyond repair it's only new steps to make grate basing bits for decoration XD

[@drewgensey3728]

The mud and trench were so well done, I’d love to see more videos featuring vehicles making their way through hostile terrain

[@snufkinsnufkin2528]

The base is amazing and the the whole model and kitbash too but I think a little bit of streaky grime would dirty rhe model a bit more and connect it more to the base

[@40K_Guy]

Looks sick, I think some guardsmen on the base would be great to demonstrate the cerastus's scale.

[@koelkast9]

Just some confused cadians looking up as this god of war rushes their foes

[@wreik]

I know there’s lots of projects to be done, but I feel like revisiting and remaking a Carcharadon killteam would be dope, similarly to how you did the Astra Primursa

[@RSouzaYuri]

YES! Our sharks deserve some more love

[@ryansandwich1086]

That's an awesome kit. I love how it allows you to either build the model easily or customize the pose as much as you like. Great video!

[@potatolord9715]

Can’t wait to see how it turns out Edit: Amazing paintjob as always, and I love what you did with the gun. This knight gets called a Titan a lot though which I thought was funny

[@Zakading]

Originally, before GW made them their own standalone army, all Knights were labeled "Knight Titans", and they technically still have that name.

[@queencyrys6309]

Also this thing’s as tall as a Warhound, it can have the name

[@Toxichobbit.]

@@Zakading There is no such thing as Knight Titans - it's like saying Astartes Custodes. It was some idiot on the internet about a decade ago(ish) who thought it sounded cool and unfortunately, it spread from there. But go back to Adeptus Titanicus in the early 90's when Knights and Titans were first created, they were two separate but oft allied forces and have been ever since.

[@Zakading]

@@Toxichobbit. Except the original Imperial Knight packaging literally listed "Imperial Knight Titan" as its contents.

[@Toxichobbit.]

@@Zakading Do you have a link to a photo for that? I've never seen any packaging referring to them as Knight Titans. They did use the same generic blister card backing as Titans for a while (which had a picture of a Reaver and just said Titans on it), but the label still referred to them by their Knight names, i.e. Paladin, Warden etc, and all the lore at the time differentiated them from Titans.

[@inquisitor0099]

seriously gw needs to hire you as a official kitbasher love the work as always

​@@ReadThisIfYourG3ythey did, or at least everyone on the creative team was one. Almost every army they showed in the old codexes and White dwarfs had some kit bashes and conversions in 'em

[@ronaldclark4183]

Hi Pete! I’ve been binging your kitbash and conversion videos for last two months, and you’ve consistently impressed me with your skills and creativity. The Dornian Heresy models, Updated Character Conversions, or Total War Kitbashes are some of my favorites, and just so cool to watch come together. I’d love to see you make more for the Leagues of Hashut, or more Leagues of Votann builds in general.

[@sandyman3070]

I’d love to see you make more titans. I think a titan that has been taken over by Orks would be pretty sick. A Nurgle titan might also be cool.

[@JJ-he6zg]

You should try to make a true scale Tyberos next because his old finecast model got discontinued.

[@peterheinzo515]

one of the best knights ive seen. the trench is perfect.

[@Johnny350Z]

I just love the line "I decided to make my knight look like a Brittish tank, so were going to use US Olive Drab" hehehe

[@patsnohjarta3148]

Looking forward to a adeptus administratum kill team!

[@Crucible_streams]

Here is the lore : Ultramarines had just left a battle but left two soldiers behind. For many days, those soldiers walked endlessly but fainted before finding help. Luckily, they were found by people who seemed like dragons but had a much more humanoid body shape

[@bioniccaliber7414]

I had an idea a little while ago with some buddies at my local hobby shop to build a Genestealer Cult Armiger, would love to see your take on the idea!! P.S. - I started this hobby back in January of this year, your videos are the reason I started kitbashing. I’m so glad I found this channel and just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me!

[@durkee8823]

Could you do a episode of the prep that goes into making these? Like do you draw up what you are trying to achieve or just wing it?

[@praporbarton3961]

One of your best builds of all time, however I'd say the barrells of the gun could use some soot effect at the ends, as if it accumulated when the weapon was being fired

[@bojoggs-ik8tq]

Love the project, the only thing that bugs me are the planks, way too big, ruins the scale, also, why are they not breaking under the weight. Even if they are meant to be precast concrete, they still too big.

[@Springtrap11556]

I just got my first Warhammer models two days ago, and I already want to get my hands on every Tyranid I can afford.

[@theGazzer]

Pete, would you ever be down to see what you could do with the Pacifc Rim mechs? Seeing a kit - bashed, 40k lore accurate (maybe dreadnought style?) Gypsy Danger or Cherno Alpha could be cool. Or, maybe you could do a Tyranid version of some of the Kaijus from the movie

[@LegoTardisArchives]

I love your content and ever since I met you during the hobby challenge at the Open day a few months ago I also love you as a person

[@6-4crusader55]

I would love to see your take on a imperial guard vehicle! Maybe a surrogate name blade made of parts from macharius, leman Russ, and chimera models

[@NoOne-nm4ng]

Really disappointed that the kit doesn't come with all the weapon options like the questoris kit does.

[@rosasakura4172]

This was a awsome build. Im recreating the base and pose But am useng a acreon instead

[@jackofn0trades29]

Man I love it when mechs with all this Crazy ornamentation and visuals nonsense are converted into something that is more utilitarian, it makes them more immersive. I love to do this with my gundam and a drab green replacing that toy-like blue just gets me every time!

[@halfcrafted]

Fantastic stuff! Love the panel and decal weathering in this build and the base work, love a detailed base. Generally really great work theming this build so it's unique but also matches the sponsor well.

[@asiburger]

I'd love to see the entirely soulless looking Primaris vehicle range get a huge flair overhaul.

Surprised no skulls or debris from the beaten foe

[@leestride2285]

I managed to get one of these today, and I must say the piston-y bits are very well designed, wasn't sure how well it would translate from the resin models to this, but can comfortably say, they aren't a pain - in fact the model itself is a time consuming build but a satisfying one, very happy with how the build worked out - took about 2.5 hours - and I tend to build quite fast.

[@chaplainfatty]

My happiness chart just goes ballistic whenever Pete posts a video

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Pete . 🐺 Loupis Canis .

[@OrdoGriseo]

Knights have always occupied a weird place in my head. Bigger than a tank or dreadnought, but smaller than a titan. Never got round to getting one but I definitely would take some inspiration from this if one ends up on my hobby table

[@NicPTheMeme]

I have 4. They're a BITCH to paint w a brush but DAMN is it worth it

[@chris.replay]

There's a kitbash idea I've been flirting with for a while now, just haven't got the model needed for it. A Dark Angels "Deathwing" themed Brutalis Dreadnought. Give it a big sword (I'm planning on using a spare Grey Knights Nemesis Dreadknight sword). Basically just make it a Dreadnought sized Deathwing terminator lol Love your content, you've certainly inspired many of my kitbashes!

[@VenGardGator]

My Chaos Knight Lancer is going to be weilding a mace instead of a lance, replacing its wire-frame shield with a big chaos slab shield from Taro Model Maker, giving it a skull head. And most importantly, it is going to be STAMPING on a screamer killer carnifex, driving its foot through its torso and crushing it underfoot. Such a lowly insect is not worth bloodying his mace.

[@ExiledPiasa]

How about WW2/40K tank kitbash into a quad walker? Maybe for Tau units who turned to the God Emperor?

[@kersosvoll7792]

REspekt, i love your conversions and Videos, they are easy to understand and follow, any chance you make something with Astra Militarum Tanks? a Baselisk inspired by a German Hummel or so maybe =D?

[@chaplainfatty]

I'm just imagining some kriegsmen in that trench scoffing at the knight's rider for not dying in a glorious suicidal 1v1

[@RSouzaYuri]

Day 60 of asking for tyberos the red wake convertion ( 2 months, I'm still have hope, but Pete, It you are Reading this, pls do my boy allready 😭)

[@nicozandhuis1865]

I've always had difficulty using the Vallejo primers especially when trying to brush the primer on models. How do you keep the primer bonded to the miniature? I've tried washing the models and waiting the full 24 hours for it to cure and all that happens is the primer easily getting scratched off. I've had goodish results even when the primer is thinned but they haven't always come out a solid colour :/// I don't get it. I'm using the polyurethane primer btw.

[@PearlJam2k6]

I havent build anything 40k in about a decade by now (kind of gave up over time), but i keep eyeing the Knight kits because like you said, who doesnt love giant robots? Im surprised how well designed they look however, especially on the posing options where just clipping a tab is enough. I like the idea of a siege knight pattern, it makes sense too to have something thats there for close troop support, basically a Demolisher Russ or Hellhound on legs. Bit surprised however you didnt paint the inside of the plates with some black or dry brushe steel.

[@mr.static380]

Isn’t iron order just… literally iron harvest? With… very few changes? I mean. I wouldn’t call it “like I’ve never seen before”

[@benjackson8731]

First of all, amazing job, leagues better than anything i could do. One thing that slightly bothered me when it came to the reveal was that the duck boards underneath where the right foot would have been were too intact. Maybe could have had them splintered up a bit/ crushed/ pushed into the ground? Currently it feels like some 2x4 got rolled over by a tank but actually looks like its fresh off the shelf.

[@darkusandtoast2207]

I hate being "that guy" as I love what you did and the work. BUT There's no mud on the raised foot nor footprints on the wood in the trench. Granted, I don't think trenches would be that width, but I can ignore that. What I can't ignore is how weathered everything without any evidence of life inside the trench. Once again, you did something far surpassing what I will probably ever do, but I have to be critical because it's so close to perfection.

[@someguywhodoesstuff7877]

I will admit, though this conversion is REALLY impressive with no doubt, this is kinda just a slightly redistributed Knight Acheron when it comes to the weaponry theory

[@seakr9838]

Great builds, clear comentary. Inspiring and no music! Well worth a subscribe, and binge watch. 5*

[@Maliz_Ultraviolet_Lantern]

Suggestion: Xenarite Mechanicus vehicles, meaning Mechanicus (or even Knights and Titans in the service of the Mechanicus) base vehicles with repurposed Xenos technology modifications

[@rileyernst9086]

I see what you were going for with the trench. I half want to do the same thing, but have the knight striding over a much narrower trench and have some regular troops in the trench cheering. A while ago I actually wrote a short bit of fiction with this very scene: Knights defending a manufacturing plant, sallying across the perimeter trenches(manned by regular troops and foot retainers and lesser knights) to attack into the teeth of an enemy assault(under the cover of a bombardment of smoke shells) to wreck some mechanised heretics in close quarters. It was to counter the enemy tactic of advancing with chimeras and armigers to flush the imperial knights out with russes on overwatch, and knights in reserve. My logic is that a tank squadron concentrating fire is going to knock down knight after knight. By employing tactical smoke the knights and russes were cut off from supporting the lighter units, the chimera borne troops were left to blunder confused through the smoke, the crews having much less chance of success in the sudden and brief encounters with the enemy in the thick smoke, it was an environment that favored a fully integrated, piloted warsuit and of course the powerful weapons mounted on said warsuits, the chaos armigers left isolated in pockets to face loyalist armigers(yeah no 'war dawgs' this story predates chaos knights kit by like 5 years) working in groups alongside their knights, so despite being unbelieably hardy the chaos armigers really lost out. The chaos knights did reach the melee, but often had to contend with having to face a loyalist knight head on, and it's armigers coming around the sides, fighting as a single unit, so despite their disgusting resilience they did not fare well(having your legs cut out from behind you will knock you on you're ass, and from there they will just dismantle you).

[@johnbursi2804]

Terrific conversion! Very 40k. One question though, where’re the dead animal bits?

[@digitalgungnir6480]

With GW not having any wracks or grotesques available for Drukari, it'd be cool to see you to some kitbashing for them.

[@denlocaltis5541]

I opted to put my lancer in a battlefield scenario as well for the base. I tried making him look as though he were walking through a battlefield with extra Aegis Defense Line walls in the middle and 3 Kriegers from the Kill Team box running underneath the Knight.

[@grant8653]

Spruw a word for a kind of tumor... Something you want to remove.... is the basis for your sprues. EPIC

[@newtybot]

I like how you named the least destructive knight ever after the word for destruction Not saying he isn’t destructive, just that other knights are way more haha

[@max16]

so what i found works REALLY well for rust of larger metal parts is watering down the dirty down alot and using it like a wash. the DD that pools will create deeper rust but the stuff of the serface will make an almost soft rust glaze thats really good.

[@Rhinopotamus]

I would really like to see a conversion for Kroxigors to Sacred Kroxigor from Total War: Warhammer or for a Skink Chieftain on a Horned One.

[@user-qg4st8ih1d]

This looks really great! I’ve been reticent about doing a knight because I want to do a similar (ish) historical-inspired scheme, but thought the trim being the same colour would look a bit off. After seeing this, though, it seems like it can still be made to look great after all!

[@nadswagen]

Love kitbashing guides. Here's hoping some day he tackles battlefleet gothic.🤞

[@DandaLion92]

Absolutely amazing as always but feel like the “toes”/feet could do with being a tad bigger imho! :)

[@redthecrusadertiktok]

I like this much more that the GW version, the original looks was too weak and off balance. Like you could sneeze and it would fall over

[@Frostyeel]

My instict would be to add pins around the hips and knees, to make up for the clipped tabs reducing the strength a bit. Does the model feel sturdy enough with just plastic glue holding the lower body together?

[@Mickeehansson]

such a nice kitbash, like allways your videos are amazing, maybe do some more titans? they are expensive but the endresult is allways so amazing

[@rogerhack3750]

I know what it's missing. A cheering krieg guardsman in the trench, who's ever so happy to see this massive line breaker coming along.

[@the_yuty]

It looks amazing, I think the trench might be a bit too wide for my taste, but it still looks amazing; very true to ww1 warfare

[@Bottle-OBill]

No, no, you see, the smoke launchers fire at the enemy positions as the Knight gets there, obscuring view of the following infantry assault!

[@RobinPortnoff]

How do you seal Dirty Down Rust? Seems like it's very reactive to most liquids and otherwise prone to wear on the table.

[@sneakyseeker2326]

Seeing Your interpretation of Cult Tenebrous the nurgle corrupted genestealer cult mentioned in the codex would be cool, not many conversions of it exist.

[@GeoffreyPeas]

Pete, you truly are a spooky wizard! This is plastic alchemy at it's finest 🙌

[@TearsOfBlo0d]

I would love to see you do a chaos corrupted knight in the future, with your skills im sure you could manage something rather epic :)

Turn Optimus prime into an imperial knight. I'd like to see how you'd tackle the lore of that.

I really enjoyed it ! mainly the base I was looking for a tutoial for this kind of base for a futur project

[@larsdenhertog]

Great video! I really like the base, I feel like the inside of the trench is lacking some details like crates for example. Or anything else.

[@fenrirsrage4609]

Honestly while the power fist with heavy flamers is cool and all but shield and artillerly cannon as the "lance" combo would go harder ino.

[@rowanerickson129]

[@wpb5876]

Amazing stuff! With AC6 coming out soon, it’ll be fun to kitbash some custom mechs

[@kanapolglinpu8378]

Maybe try and un-baby carrier the Nemesis Dreadknight while still keeping its appearance as a mech suit?

[@Crucible_streams]

At first, they were truly scared but accepted them after a bit of time. Their armor had been painted as the tribe's armor. They then asked what their name was. They said that they were the " The Dragonkin ".

[@WiredCurrent]

Genuine question: Do you ever release previously kitbashed models to people looking to collect? Be it sale or otherwise?

[@graymiller2304]

Video one of me asking you to make a diorama with a similar concept that involves converted infantry, a knight of some kind and tyranids.

[@xTheZapper]

Tamiya thin isn't really meant for painting over areas like that, you're meant to hold the joins together then touch the brush to the thin gap and let it wick in. If you need to splosh it over a large area get the thick one or the Revell one with the needle applicator.

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

any thoughts on the lionel heresy? it's also a "what if" in 40k where el' johnson became warmaster. there's some are if you need to see

[@Graavigala85]

its nice and all but the coloring looks super bland for some reason. The armor panels look very one tone and even with the rusty bits its just one huge blob of color feel to it. The weapon is cool
