Kitbashing A Space Marine Kill Team

[@DragonaxFilms]

I love how much character this team has, especially Knives McStabby over there xD

[@PeteTheWargamer]

He's my personal favourite

[@blindoutlaw]

Every unit has that “knife guy” in it

[@captainfry245]

It reminds me of when I got a death company intercessors kit, I just wanted to keep adding more

[@mr.potato2223]

[@gunsforevery1]

@blindoutlaw And that “knife guy” in every unit is usually cringy as fuck.

[@pedrobastos8132]

I love how you made your Kill Team more fluff oriented than straight up minmaxing

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I don't know the rules well enough to min/max anything 😂

[@WardenOfTerra]

Anyone that min-maxes in Kill Team isn't worth playing Kill Team with.

[@patrickmccauley3255]

Your kit bashes and builds are always superb, but something that gets glossed over frequently is how great your paint jobs are! Really digging this Kill Team!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you! I've really been pushing myself to improve recently 😃

1st, I don’t collect anymore because I can’t afford it being a student and everything but killteam is still awesome and I love you content

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you! I was the same, I dropped the hobby while I was studying but picked it up again when I'd finished.

[@williamfeller3319]

Trust me man I understand your pain all too well. I was in my sophomore year and I could barely afford the 40 bucks for a skitari patrol. I got a job at DoorDash, it pays well and is very convenient and now I can afford models without dipping into my savings. You should check it out.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

It's a good time to be getting into Kill Team!

[@michaelpatten5426]

@@PeteTheWargamer what is kill team and how do you play

[@amytamblyn8742]

@@michaelpatten5426 Killteam is similar to normal 40k, but instead of larger armies it's more forces of 5-20 (mostly around 10) models. The rulebook's £25 on GW's website, and uses standard 40k models (whilst all KT models can be used in 40k, not all 40k models can be used in KT though). It's focused on individual models instead of units of models, and the low model count means that games are shorter and it's easier to paint models up to the high standard you'd normally save for HQs. This also makes it really good for kitbashing, as you can put a lot of effort into modelling since you aren't working on too many of them.

[@wiccanthropy1956]

@@PeteTheWargamer couldn't agree more but I was wondering since good ol melee marines was coming into killteam if you would be interested in having a killteam addition to melee focused missions: a bladeguard a pair of assault marines and an intercessor Sergeant with powerfist or the like. Work to a full campaign roster! I usually stop on a killteam after it hits 12 models. 20 doesn't feel like a cohesive team yknow?

[@paintingwithkay2083]

@@wiccanthropy1956 yes next week will begin the space marine meta in Killteam. Only death watch and space marines will be overpowered. Rip all other factions

[@astrozombiac3535]

I'm always amazed by your cutting skills. Watching you push that blade into a part and not seeing something fly off is pretty impressive.

[@HeadHunterSix]

Like, fingertips? :D

[@albertoroche9831]

I love the little addition of the clip falling off the bolt rifle. It just adds such a nice little bit of action to the miniature as though it was a still from an action scene.

[@CraigSteele12]

Please do a how to paint for these guys! The armour colouration & chipping/battle damage effect are sublime

[@zachrhodes2821]

some kind of demolition specialist would be cool, like one covered in grenades and explosives. (inspired by that one assault intercessor arm carrying the belt of grenades)

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Most definitely! I've got some ideas for the demo expert 😉

[@roefishguts6112]

Finally a suitable, no sensible, number of pouches as knives on a miniature keep up the good work

[@HeadHunterSix]

Raptors, in particular, are a very sensible Chapter.

[@noxington4260]

Hell yes, Raptors are the best! Working on my tacticool kill team right now

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Yes, yes they are!

[@grantnewton4230]

As someone who works with knives. It spooks me every time you cut toward yourself.

[@nicksurename5392]

Well done on getting these lads featured on teh Warhammer Community website!

[@loltwest9423]

"Pete, how many knives should I put on a guy to represent combat specialist?" "Yes."

[@mortifactorsmiko4668]

Gorgeous models. Gorgeous paint job. Love to see an idea executed on many different minis.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Yeh it was a nice change to expand out a conversion to a whole squad

[@emilkautovaara8380]

I’d love to make a killteam like this but I can’t really justify buying 4 boxes of models to only ever use 5

[@PeteTheWargamer]

With Kill Team you'd build up a roster, so you'd have a few options to pick and choose from. So a combat patrol box or start collecting, for example, would give you a great selection of models and parts.

[@ChampionMarauder]

I'd rather just play a 500 point game of 40k at this point.

[@Mad.player]

Start Collecting Vanguard has a nice combination of models and even a Commander option. Infiltrators can be kitbashed/proxied as intercessors. Also Suppressors have awesome canons, and we all know that bit**es love canons :D . To that you can buy First Strike to have Rievers and Intercessors. Also after making one kill team, make another and sell it. Ready to play KT are in demand.

[@monicledmarauders9359]

You could always look on Ebay for cheap model/bits to make a kill team

[@Bluecho4]

It's at this point that third party model services become more appealing. Anvil Industries has a line of Space Marine-alikes, that can be pre-customized when you order. They also sell just the bits, if that's all you want. So you could buy a box of actual Space Marines, then kit them out with whatever bits you get from other companies.

[@danlangford9434]

That was absolutely fantastic. I really like The Raptors and you did a great job of capturing the essence of that chapter.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you, I really love their aesthetic so it was great to try them out finally

[@alexallkins6968]

Please do a painting tutorial on these. They look amazing

[@theobessiris9681]

[@AddamsFactory69]

You're an ispiration Pete and always follow up your conversions with stunning paint work. I love seeing a heavy tactical theme on astartes!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you very much! I love that more "realistic" styled space marine too, the trinkets and flashy bits are cool but I just like pouches more 😂

[@ChampionMarauder]

Most of his competition doesn't bother to paint their conversions. It really puts his videos at the head of the pack.

[@williamfalck4882]

For someone who has just started painting and modelling minis for games I really, really enjoy your tutorials and videos. Instructive, Pedagogical and easy to follow and see what you are doing. Keep it up Pete!

[@Bobcat173rd]

@Darrenmichael Polman new kill team only lets you use certain models. The game has to be balanced, and the teams out now are all pretty balanced for objectives. Seeing as the point of kill team isn’t a body count, but scoring objectives.

A great video and super-awesome paint job, but I just can't let the 'add a muzzle brake' to a silencer go. On modern military rifles, the openings at the end of the barrel are technically a 'flash suppresor' and are only on the top of the barrel to help with control of 'barrel climb' caused by recoil forces.
