[@thespookymage6294]

I did this with my Emperor's Children army. One of my terminators is standing over a freshly killed raven guard. I mainly did it though because my buddy plays raven guard and I just wanted to mess with him.

[@jakoblundeborg9881]

Nice! I usually use some T'au bits for my orks since my friend plays them!

Mind games

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Psychological warfare is a valid strategy in tabletop games 😂

[@zombiemanar7823]

I did the same but my harlequin troup master on an imperial fist

[@thomasrevill7723]

That plasma glow on his combi-bolter is really nice, would be cool to see a tutorial for that if you haven't done one already

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I used the same technique demonstrated in my plasma glow video, albeit swapping out the greens for blues: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIO8fmWpqsybq9E

[@jacobheller3146]

Could u try doing a fallen conversion that would be interesting

[@ReubenAotearoa_]

A selection even: one not chaos, one kinda chaos and another extremely chaos.

[@jacobheller3146]

@@ReubenAotearoa_ how i see it is do a standard one with the mk3 then maybe one with spikes and stuff then the last is just a suped up possesd model

[@PeteTheWargamer]

As others have said I think the Fallen seem to occupy a spectrum of not chaos to fully blown chaos, so doing 2 or more would be a good way to cover this.

[@ReubenAotearoa_]

Would love to see this. I’m starting a Fallen project myself so have some ideas about what I’d like to do, but always nice to see other takes for extra inspiration.

[@jackszyprowski]

The what? Fallen? Never heard of it. What's your name by the way? Home planet? Ok... BROTHERS COME QUICK.

[@TrypticOwen]

Dead. Spacemarine. Bits. :-)

[@luckylarry71]

Imagine an entire army based on dead space marines, all oriented in Yamcha Crater™ pose. That's like -2 to leadership right there

[@PeteTheWargamer]

You could magnetize it and build a model for every army in 40k that could be swapped out depending on who you were up against 😂

[@trajanthegreat2928]

I've just done this for my Farith Redloss model for 30k with a dead Night Lord, it worked great!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Awesome! Glad to hear it.

[@SlurpeeBoy9999]

At least we know there's a loyalist on the base.

[@dndlover2690]

Nah sorry only dark angels

[@PeteTheWargamer]

😂

[@HouseOfChaosUK]

I see what you did there

[@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290]

Am I turning blind in my old age? All I see is a traitor standing on another (obviosly inferior) traitor...

[@D2017_]

I read that as "Dead Space" marine. I thought it was going to be a Dead Space themed marine at 1st.

[@The_Sharktocrab]

Same

[@D2017_]

@@The_Sharktocrab would've been awesome.

[@AshleyBlackwater]

Would be a cool idea of a conversion, could easily be death guard possessed or another chapter that's fallen to some kind of warp affliction

[@wolfjaw7104]

A little red on the armor and treads on his boot would've been really immersive. But I'm just happy The dark angels are getting some love and hopeful redemption in the current 40k timeline

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I did consider this but I wanted to keep the bases colours to be as muted and drab as possible.

[@wolfjaw7104]

@@PeteTheWargamer I seriously appreciate the work you put into tho model it looks amazing still

[@yellowtomatoman]

I play against Imperial Fists a bunch, so most of my army has yellow space marine bits on the bases. It feels like a fun way to subtly taunt my friend when I play against him.

[@madmerlinsart]

My favourite type of dead body base is the freshly eviscerated enemy base. I first did this on a Crimson Fist model standing over a dead guardsman. This has been a theme for most of my armies with my Death Guard chaos lord being the recent model to receive it. It's a simple technique that gives great results. Simply find a spare torso, rough up the bottom then glue down to your base. Once set take some fine jewelry chain pour on some super glue and pile it on to resemble spilled guts. Painting it pink and covering with blood effect paint brings it to life.

[@Darkreaper1982]

Amazing base! Funnily enough i've been looking at bases and how to make different types for a few days. Ideas for corpse bases, i thought of a Tyranid Swarmlord, Hive Tyrant or Carnifex standing over the bodies (note, more than one!) of a few Ultramarines. This would reference the very first fight between the two at the Battle of Macragge.

[@thiccthorson]

Nice! I've been using similar techniques for my Space Wolves, just replacing some of the smaller rubble with Valhallan Blizzard

[@VivaLaWaren]

I first thought this would be a "DEAD SPACE" Theme.

[@arodreth]

Good to have a reference video like this, I was hoping to add some ultramarines... to my heretic astartes' bases :)

[@paulpatterson2991]

would love to see how you would go about making an impaled or crucified corpse from an intercessor

[@mr.han-nah1119]

Your videos are always on point, informative and enjoyable. Thank you Sir.

[@velvet3496]

Finally a good Space Marine guide

[@samuelsanfratello4617]

This was a terrific video! I love customizing bases like this. I use Blue Stuff to make a partial mold and fill with milliput to get battle damaged armor. This leaves me with the original parts still intact.

[@MillersMiniatures]

A great tutorial mate the model looked awesome. Only one suggestion I would make and not as a criticism is on the dead fellas helmet you could of added some dark red to the lenses of his helmet as like you said he's been long dead and the glow from has eyes has long gone out. But once again mate a cracking job on this. 😁👍

[@yoohoi9074]

Even after watching you for quite a while now it amazes me how beginner friendly your videos are

[@shovelgames9960]

great!

[@kkouuy]

Excellent!! I was about to do this, then you release a turtorial for it! thank you! :)

[@benives254]

Nice! Can you do some snowy ice bases? Also, on 40k theories they mentioned an ork demon prince. Maybe a nice conversion idea......

[@willcarroll4142]

I was really hoping to hear you say Dead. Space Marine. Bits.

[@viperbsg62]

I really like your paint work on this model but I can't help but laugh at those googly eye gun barrels :D They remind me of the Cookie Monster

[@Tomaldinho21]

Hi Pete! Have you got any tips for doing this with Orks?

[@oldaccountlol5773]

Anyone else watch all his videos but only do it because you like the videos, not because you’ll actually make the model

[@ombo7]

Perfect. I'll use this for Cypher

[@corvusferox2869]

oof... erm.. i don't mean that in a mocking way.. but what happened to the drilled Combi-Plasma barrels at 0:20min ? Isn't it a bit.. too off-centre? :/

[@daanvanderrol5627]

Was going to post the same thing. Lovely model and good tutorial, but that barrel hole made me wince.

[@carpemkarzi]

Damn nice

[@greggillespie8259]

Did a similar job with my DA contemptor dreadnought albeit he’s stomping into the fallen’s chest and head

[@MrStanley85]

Time to donate some bags of bits - check your tip jar :)

[@piratemagetjalf6477]

„A fallen Fallen“ - you know what I like best about your channel, Pete? These subtle moments of humour. Just like when you couldn‘t stop thinking of nasty stuff when building that Slaanesh mini. :)

[@NunnanAgda]

I love your videos, BUT... Its time for new backgroundmusic. Its too blue and moody.

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

did a corpse base for my IW contemptor dreadnought with 4 IF corpses. didnt have cork so used clay, the base is a bit heavy but I dont care.

[@martinsleight321]

Nice! Definitely doing this with a Night Lord beneath my Ezekiel's feet.

[@Yoshis_Studio]

Love the build and base. The only small criticism I have is the sword Az is holding is resting on the ground, however there is no material underneath it. It looks a bit off.

[@theezekarion164]

Let's be honest that's not a Dark Angel Over a Fallen BUT! A Primaris over Everything B4 It.

[@Dannyheal]

I am just thinking of how I sacrificed a twenty five year old Land Raider that was pretty janky I was given for a base for one of my Tau Riptides. Then again, it can't really hide too well behind cover now, considering it is leaping off of it. Still looks amazing, 42 magnets later. As for rocks, I use rock molds along with some green stuff, I found at a model train store that I occasionally make terrain for.

[@joshuabeckmann9143]

Can this method be used for other things like xenos models for a deathwatch/Inquesisition army??

[@kelimar3014]

I’m not sure how I managed to miss 80% of the name of this video, but I definitely went in expecting a dead space -> 40k crossover kitbash haha.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Awesome video man. Its really nice to see the process, as its something I don't generally do. P.s The saw would mean I'd end up chopping fingers off 😅

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you, it's much appreciated! And yeh, I would never put my self forward as an advocate for modelling tool safety 😂

[@BroadswordWargaming]

@@PeteTheWargamer haha, don't worry, we all do it. 😅 No judgement from me. WEAR GLOVES etc.

[@commissarkai1791]

Excellent tutorial video and something I’ve done for my iron warriors stepping over some fallen Imperial Fists

[@noosebrother]

i had a broken toilet bowl as the centerpiece of one of my killa kanz. but demz orks for yuz

[@Jkos1980]

I would have, after gluing him to the base, gone in with some watered down brown as a glaze, added some to the feet, to tie him to the base

[@nicolastousignant9160]

This is pretty cool, no doubt about it But i'll admit I was dissapointed it wasn't Deadspace marines

[@nixxy1983]

I absolutely love this video! I wanted to have a wounded space marine crawling away before my deff dread squished him so I can use this idea but use the back instead

[@MrKikos27]

I like it very much, but in my opinion at least when i built a base with a body, i try to put firstly some rocks then i put the body on it or around it, i think its easier because thats how the proces goes in real life, the rocks dont surround the body, but the body falls on the groung.. but if you want to make something what is a little bit longer in the ground then sure why not :) but the paint job excelent :)

[@darthyetgon]

Can you do a homebrew model of a Frost Suns chapter master they are space Wolf's thousand suns but at like the death watch but have spent hundreds of years in the warp but still loyal to the imperium

[@jimminey-fooking-cricket4903]

Looks great. Just a couple things the dead marines eye sockets could use a wash to darken them the look like there part of the armour and the red winged sword of the 1st legion needs to be an the shoulder of the fallen. Now where did a put my Caliban Green.

[@Pokecroc]

I wonder if I could do this with Stormcast? Would love to do it for some Orruk bases.

[@jagermeister_1754]

Can you do this for the guard, but with either Tau or Tyranids please?

[@benrichardson5662]

Excellent! My Word Bearers can now have all the dead smurfs they want!

[@plaguedoctorjamespainshe6009]

Great work, makes me want to have this hobby as well Just lacked some blood My dream would be to have the double of an army just so one half was corpses

[@Bogul3]

Awww, come on! I thought that you've kitbashed things to make Marines from the Dead Space game series ;C sweet job, nonetheless

[@B3DBugg13S]

I play imperial fist and I put necron heads covered in mud as my friend plays necrons. He gets so pissed

[@jhnlk]

Did anyone else wince at Pete “sawing through the ball joint”?

[@medramonmasquedecendres2966]

Ouuuuuuh this gonna be super usefull for my Unforgiven Chapter !! Thanks man. i will slay these Fallens in your name

[@cypherdras]

Looks good but i feel the dead marine's foot needed some sculpting on the underside.

[@fraterkaos7988]

Oh WOW, is this basically a simple idea yet, at least I haven't thought of this and I think it's freaking awesome and I just have to say, that you just got yourself a new subscriber 🥳

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you for the sub!

[@dirah3812]

I like the dead space marine base but to me it doesn't scream fallen since it has none of the iconic red and white or checkered patterns.

[@13Robzilla]

Only thing better than dead animal bits, dead poster boys bits.

[@secondheaven9545]

Ngl I thought you meant Isaac Clarke Dead space

[@darkmadbat_]

I read that title as 'Dead Space: Marine' and was very confused

[@Trailerparkbubbles]

I don't get it. Where's Isaac Clarke???

Please do painting tutorials for Bolt Action Korea

[@HouseOfChaosUK]

What a great video. I often use this kind of technique for my World Eater bases.

[@jackjenkins3309]

I wildly misunderstood the tittle, I saw dead space marine, and thought to myself "A conversion to make space marines akin to the ribbed armies from dead space? That sounds pretty cool."

[@simonmears4073]

Always enjoy your basing videos, you have such a knack for doing them and with such a grim dark style. Bravo.

[@AshleyBlackwater]

Great tutorial, tho it might be worth thinking about the bottom of mareines boots when they're on show like that, some sculpted tread or something might be an easy but nice detail. A completely smooth bottom really sticks out. Could do in with the a hobby knife/saw/file, or a thin layer of modeling putty with a texture tool pressed over it. Could also just be hidden with dirt and mud for a really quick way of doing it

[@bricebranham7661]

Any chance you could do a Primaris Asmodai?

[@xiaolongzheng4179]

Would you have the interest to do a video on how to convert chaos space marine into loyalist? I am planning to convert Abaddon into my loyalist 40k Luna Wolves and I really want some advices.

[@bitzbox]

Great job as always. Would love to see you do more basing videos :D

[@stonewalljackson5994]

what happened to bolt action painting totorials?

[@solidzaku2]

Completely flat sole on the boot. Ah, so that's how that Fallen died. The Dark Angels didn't kill him, he slipped and broke his neck. Poor sod...

[@jackmikesell9453]

I've been a big Crimson Fists fan since I started playing 40k and no one does any conversion videos for them aside from your Pedro Kantor video. I'd love to see what you do with them!

I have literally did the same thing last week lol

For a moment I misread it a Dead Space bases ^^

[@sapper12b71]

I would like to add that I did clean a lot from the painting and cork board pieces and I super appreciate you using the proper name for your tools you have no idea how long it's taking me to find out that that is called a "pin vice"

[@lashleynationallibrary5695]

But...but he didn't say dead animal bits.

[@MrStatistx]

Since I do not have many bits of space marines, I solved it like this: I used a head and arm and covered them with rubble, basically letting those parts stick out

[@01oo011]

Pains me to see MK III destroyed like that

[@inf3243]

Really nice! But damn the drilling on the gun barrels was unfortunate :(

[@angrybonk5238]

maybe some tutorial sof ancient corpses? maybe some swords, and rust?

[@Talliesyn]

i love how the calm intro suits a space marine standing on the corpse of his brother (traitor or not)

[@sapper12b71]

Well this really feels misleading, "how to make Dead space Marines" so one kind of assumed that you're going to be showing some crafty cool deal or using some resin Anderson sculpting or something... nope it's buy boxes space Marines go to clean the screws off of them and then glue them flat on their backs instead of standing upright. Maybe instead of title like how to pose Marines for basing terrain?? Because you didn't really make anything you went and bought something then glued it down.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I'd have to disagree. The title said how to create dead space marine bases and by the end of the video I had created a base with a dead space marine. If the title had said, how to create a dead space marine base *from scratch* then I would agree.

[@sapper12b71]

@@PeteTheWargamer no man you're right, it's labeled how to create Dead space Marine. Not how to create Dead space Marine 4 Dead space Marine bases. TBH I had not been awake long it was still a little foggy brain, anyway I apologize if this in anyway triggered you not that you responded or did anything to suggest that it did just saying I never intended for it to be derogatory or whatever you know anywayI want to leave this up here for a little bit longer so hopefully that you could see it and then after that I'm going to remove my comments, have a good one buddy. I'm not sure if you saw my other comment or not but I did also state that you know there is still a lot to be gleaned from this video. as I said I've been awake for about 15 minutes LOL when I wrote that and I can't even remember my exact wording or anyting so again if it came off kind of dickish I really did not mean for it to keep up the good work.
