Please more Imperial Palace! Would love to see more paint on foam!

[@Menhtrol]

Crazy idea But how about using some of the McFarlane toys as massive Statues. 😅

[@Spark_Chaser]

Classic Necromunda had an answer to this: Scavvys. They were a mutant gang that survived off of scavenging from the Underhive. Makes a kind of sense if a group turned into rats.

[@Zorpazorp]

Oooooooooooh yessssss I'd forgotten about those!!!! Good call mate.

[@jaanikaapa6925]

I was about to say something like this... Abhumans or mutants. Just like the beastmen

[@jesterprince4949]

Makes sense, with all the chaos warp shenanigans going on during the siege of terror all your mutants would be fleeing the under hives. Heck there was so much warp shenanigans going on they could have actual rats that Chaos "elevated" to sentience. Either way, rat men aren't out of the scope of 40k and these wacky conversions are the kind of energy these lads need if they ever become a legit thing.

[@bobcrutch8905]

I did exactly that I used the flamer guys as shotguns,the long guns as auto guns and I just did a couple of hand swaps with auto pistols and stub pistols,and net guys and converted rat ogres with spear guns as scalies,the only mission they play is kidnap so they can get food 😂😂

[@PerfectionHunter]

I wish GW would release Scavvies as a Kill Team. Really emaciated and slender like zombies. Mismatched armor och weapons etc. Gods i would love that 😍

[@JoeHardacre]

As an ork player I adore a good conversion, that army is gonna look incredible

[@Zorpazorp]

Thank you Joe! I was definitely channelling my inner Ork for this one haha, very much the sane vibes it's why I couldn't resist that aircraft turret from the Ork flyer hahaha

Mortian has a line of "40k Skaven" and they're absolutely amazing. I don't dig the army enough to collect, but anyone who's into space rats should give 'em a look.

[@imperialjake114]

[@XilejaffacakE]

As someone who does 'Cheesestealer Cults' in 40k which are mainly kitbashes and 3D prints, it was very welcome sight to see you were diving in to Skaven in 40k too!

You may call them skaven, but the inqusition will probably conclude they've found a mutant brood of ratlings, to be purged before their presence spreads.

My one note is that those solar auxilia rats need tails to really sell the illusion- though I'm sure thats easier said than done. Overall really great work, I love the creativity.

[@glengoodwin3369]

When GW keeps trying to get you into Stormcast, but you literally throw them away to get to the ratty goodness, yes-yes.

[@stephenjenkins7971]

Its okay, I plan to throw away the rattos when I get the box too. Everyone has favorites.

[@Tarabulus]

Holy Horned Rat this is awesome! Love to see the work on the small models, nice counterpoint to the HUMONGOUS board :)

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah that was my thinking too!! Would love to do the odd video here and there focussing on the forces as we build up to the big siege :)

[@danesorensen1775]

Yes-yes, the Cult of the Fang have unlocked a technology that has long evaded the Mechanicus - armouring the back of the Leman Russ!

[@Mara999]

Space-Skaven is truly a growing phenomenon. These conversions look really fun, and look like they could be with some further tweaking made to look more steampunk-y to fit with fantasy-Skaven. In an old White Dwarf there was a Skaven tank conversion that looked a bit like this one.

[@Kili121416]

Sidetracked : “to direct a person's attention away from an activity or subject towards another one . . . 😂

[@peterklimax7556]

The Auxilias definetly are in some need of rat tails!

[@alexbarrett3832]

It's really surprising that they've never made a 40k version of the Skaven. They are the most unique thing in the warhammer IP as a whole, so you'd think that they'd be in all the universes, especially as they are creatures of chaos and the warp touches all realms!

[@andybraun93]

I love this! I've always wanted the rat clan in 40k. I've always thought about doing an Orc army but replace them with rats

[@originalfatman]

awesome video! can't wait to see them painted. Maybe replace the shields on the skaven as wooden shields seem a bit out of place or maybe green stuff them to look more flat and more like the combat shields of the imperium. I think some guard, heavy weapon teams would be a simple but cool conversion too!

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah the shields do still need a bit of something that might work nicely!!!!

[@Manandmonkey]

This conversion is insane. Madness. Heresy! I love it. I could see some Skaven conversions making a great Blooded Kill Team.

[@AltoStratusX1]

Yay thank you so much Tim! I loooooooooooooooove armies full of completely converted models, probably my favourite part of the hobby I don't get to do it often enough.

Thank you Jaden! Yeah one of my favourite things is usually models for a totally unintended use haha! Thanks for the ongoing support mate 😊

[@nakenmil]

I can't tell if these are best played as Orks or some kind of modified Genestealer Cult. But regardless: it would be cool to see some rat swarms or wolf rats inbetween the main units, if you have any lying around. :D

[@TheWizardsBrush]

Brilliant idea 💡 I absolutely love the Rat-nought! The Tank as well, I didn't know that this is what I wanted but now I do!

[@TheBobbytables]

I dont think we were the only people to do it, but our local GW back in the early 2000s when the plastic catachans came out, you mixed a box of them with a box of plastic skaven and got..... RATACHANS!!!!

[@Demigodish4o3]

I thought it would be a Imperial Palace video, i got snacks, and a drink to get ready to watch the full thing, but then it turned into a Skavenblight thing and I felt cheated.

A lot of conversions to build some classic Mantic Veer-Myn army... 😂 I'm always confused when I see some big hobby youtubers that seem to be focused so much on their single topic, that they do not know that they are basically reinventing the wheel when doing something "out of the box"...

[@Weez-2_The-Beez]

Awesome as always Lucky 🤘 Years ago I kitbashed some of the old clan rats with Kroot rifles which turned out pretty good for a mutant warband which also included all sorts of other kitbashed creatures such as the Beastmen from Blackstone Fortress as well as other Beastmen from AOS that had a particular characterful charm so that no two miniatures were duplicated in my Warband. I can’t wait for this batrep on ZorpHammer to come out so I can finally be inspired to take my Warband to the next level and make it a full fledged army 🤘

[@fromthewastes15]

Such a good idea. Absolutely love the results and can’t wait to see more.

[@quinnhamm9623]

The skaven did it for me; time to become a Patron. Awesome builds!

[@ragureee]

i was always thinking of how skaven would fit into 40k. i had a idea of skaven who sneaked into a giant ship and hid in the airshafts and other small holes/ never entered places, where they bred and grew in size, they stole food weapons and other stuff and even let some groups board other ships on docking bays so they would expand in size. they eventually have the amount of numbers to take over some small ships and than attack the big one with attackrs from outside and a big horde from the inside who always lived there. they capture the ship and than target smaller ships to take them over. sometimes they attack a ship but leave it with the ditress signal on and hide some skaven inside the ship so they can board the ship that comes to it. and so expanding their terretory. some might even snuck out and nested on planets where they evantually attack it with all their might and take it completly over. they are like sneaky pirates that kinda act like xenomorphs nesting in ships hiding in the shadows stealing and slowly killing its crew.

[@CV33Games]

These turned out great! I loved the Russ conversion. I'm both excited and terrified to see them in the narrative campaign in the future!

[@philipheng3876]

This was very cool, would love it if you made more or even other gang conversion

[@mennorach]

It was interesting to watch a video where I had no idea where it was going. Cool idea, you just need to finish them rats. This will be interesting to follow, because I just love to spin up narrative campaigns locally and you usually have ideas that are easy to re-appropriate :)

[@kambulwatts3309]

Im curious and concerned to see where this goes. Cant wait to see what madness this is Edit: This idea is amazing! Beastmen already exist in 30/40k so giving them a raty twist is genius! Ive been having a bit of hobby burnout but maybe now ill make some sifi Skaven with an Iron Warriors twist

[@roadgoeseveron7128]

Hobby Madness? HOBBY GENIUS I SAY! But seriously how awesome is that? I love the ramshackle vibe and all the details (how in the world are you going to paint all those details man?) - for the rules i'd love to see the rats represented kinda like the Skaven in Fantasy/AOS, as kniving, evil but very frightful little scamps that get their moral from mass and from staying the fck away from enemies (like the leaders having abilities that grant bonuses from the rear, rather then in the frontlines). These conversions are all so characterful and fun and i really envy this collection! I think the solar auxillia was the right choice as a base, they have the perfect vibe to their vehicles. I can't express enough how much this tickles my fancy, it combines all my favourite things: Skaven, cultists, conversions, homebrew rules and narrative play! Can't wait to see the paintjob - HYPE

[@The_Mini_Creative]

A very cool concept. I’m sure alot of hobbiest will be tempted to do something similar to their Skaven.

Freaking awsome video Zorbs! ...and I don't play 40k. AoS, even less. Great fun to watch, would love to see them painted and swarming on table sometime, but no pressure intended. I know you said you were home brewing some rules... like an army list for 30-40k, or more of a whole Zorpy ruleset? Expecting you have considered running them as official existing list, and not being knowledgeable of the Dark Future rules myself (since 3rdEdition, i think)... I am wondering which Army list(s) might have looked likely.

[@In_Purple_Clad]

Love this!! 😆 This is exactly what OG Rogue Trader and the Slaves to Darkness books were all about! 😁 Getting absolutely captivated by a crazy mad-cap theme and converting every single mini to make them your own ☺️ Reminds me of the OG Black Crusade codex that GW released in the early 2000s. Gave players actual rules to run an entire army of muties/ the lost and the damned. Absolutely wild conversions for the muties in the White Dwarf Magazines back then Good times... cheers for making this vid and reminding us all what OG warhammer was all about 😊

This was pretty interesting. The kitbashes were very fun and creative, all *very* Skaven. But you wounded me when you said you have "no interest in Age of Sigmar".

This reminds me of the "swamperial guard" from swamp rat miniatures (its gretchin in stolen imperial guard gear, so similar concept) but it also seems to me like what 40k started out as: warhammer, IN SPACE! just this really whacky, kind of strange idea, brought to life by some insanely talented kitbashers I understand you might feel youtube pressure and stuuf, but for these types of builds I do not mind you taking your time one bit, it's a super cool idea, and I genuinly would love a sliightly slower, more detailed series -to steal ideas from- I mean enjoy and get inspired by.

[@harazhangf5782]

Converting skaven for 40k is a good idea. And the way you did it feels right within the universe. You could check Grimdark Future ratmen clans for conversion inspiration. The only downsides I see are the wooden shields, maybe using some stuff more 40k-y could be a good idea id it's easily doable and have stuff that could fit on hand. And the elite skaven lack a tail, I find it weird to see them without a tail. But that's just personnal preferences. Keep up the good work, your doing great stuff.

[@alasiadarthe001actual9]

As a guy who prefers AOS to 40k and was inspired by the channel to start making ships for AOS I have to admit I found the new box a bit… not lacking as the rats are great but uninspired maybe. We have lots of stormcast already. AOS has so many great factions even in order that could use new models. Wouldn’t it have been great to get some re designed Fyreslayers/Khadron/Idoneth/Lunineth or even a proper Shadow elf faction. Instead we got edgelord stormcast reissues. Disappointing.
