Edit: Most of you have stated that the sternum wedge crushing your heart has been disproven so Ill retract my earlier statement but leave it intact below so all the responses telling me how wrong I am makes more sense.

Original: the ridges are to deflect blades and make them slide of the dents would make the force focus on the boobs and classic boobarmour with a ridge in the middle to crush the sternum and heart is never a good idea for anyone, moobs or boobs. so the dents in the armour is a vampires cry for an end to the unlife much like the one that keeps a stake and hammer on the coffinside table while they sleep. also my kitbashes rarely if ever save money and i noticed the trick was to know john and have him give you things for free. we cant all do a podcast with john your cellar would become very cramped very fast. usually i end up using 3 kits for one model and it would end up costing me 500 dollars for a unit instead of an army.
Dmeep ok but why was this needed? 1. This is a fantasy game and the minis are small so the best way to define a feminine body is to have boob armour 2. As a woman myself as as this commenter is stating we are just happy to see more women be involved in warhammer as there aren’t a lot of female figures- I’m also glad that there is now a whole 40k army that are solely female. If i have made a mistake at all I am sorry but you just seem to be spouting facts you know for that sake of someone excited about boob armour
Woman weighing in (grandmother helping 10 year old navigate his new interest). Since it's my hundreds moola financing this addiction, also happy to see creation of female armour. These kids integrated female characters into video games ages ago. Good to see table top catching up.
TJ Duprey I love the female sculpts as well, they aren’t overly sexualised in most cases. There are some exceptions but most are powerful and beautifully made. I know she isn’t alive per say but I love Lady Olynder so much- such a Beauitful mini.
I want to say that while it might not be getting as much attention, the EDITING and STYLE in this video is on point. The short skits, the editing and on screen writing, the camera angles - this all screams professionalism while also having plenty of character. Good damn job!
Imagine living your undead life for hundred of years of training to be the perfect combatant, only to get shot by a 3 weeks old rat on cocaine with with a machine gun. Future is now-now old thing.
I also did a Blood Knights conversion. Fist I took my extremely old Vlad Von Carstien model, put him in a drawer with my old empire knights. After a couple days they were all turned. So I painted them red.... that's it. oh, and put them on oval bases. 👍. but seriously yours look amazing. That was some crafty work on the custom armor.
-"He's going to drill into his finger isn't it" -"And then I drilled into my finger like a moron" BINGO! Side note, fun video to watch. Worth your blood sacrifice.
I was really hoping to see what happened to his finger but I guess he didn't think it was worth showing and seeing how quickly he started working again I see why
@@alcovitch Well, that depense in how you look at this endeavor. If Warhammer is your hobby and you are into the building and converting part of it, then this is no work at all, but pleasure. So stating it is not cost effective is not working here. If you are only into the playing or painting part of the hobby, by all means, you are right. So it totally depends on angle of approach here :)
When doing chainmail armour, If you do one row the way you did in a line down and then the next row turn the model upside down and go the other way it looks very effective. Just a little tip
I'm not part of the whole miniature hobby. I just play the total war game. And I have to say I'm mighty impressed with this. Sculpting and cutting away things from the models to make them look good blows my mind. Actually so sick.
Uh oh, he put kitbashing and saving money together at the same time, the channels success has clearly gone to his head. Puh, save money while kitbashing, the man's mad!
AoS heroes are easy places to save quite a bit of money by kitbashing, but that's also true in some edge cases, like these, Varanguard, Gyrocopters, and getting the most out of kits like the Volleygun and Hurricanum. Mostly it's just a way to make your stuff look better in your army, like using drakespawn for saurus knights or using anything else than the regular set for Freeguild Handgunners.
This is a great way to get a gentle introduction to sculpting your own minis. Mostly you used what is already created but you get to sculpt a little. Personally I don't think the cost savings is worth the time unless you really love making your own minis but the really cool aspect is having something that is unique and exactly what you like/want. This is a great video to show how to go about kit bashing and I love the covid exchange - informational and entertaining.
I feel like the recent surge in 3d printing could be a massive help in making conversions like this, especially considering this month's theme on the titan forge patreon is Vampires. Printing individual parts from models for conversions at home seems like a great idea and i'd love to see what scott could do with it.
Reminds me of the time when I was a teenager, just had the money for an Inquisitor for my Witchhunters in 40k and none for his retinue. So I just build them out of all the bits me and my friends had. From todays point of view, they are not looking that good and some really teenager ideas I would say, but still the models I'm really proud about.
This view just popped up on my feed but I really enjoyed watching it. For me, part of the enjoyment of the hobby is kitbashing - it's a way to save money but also make your units really unique. I'm currently kitbashing basically everything Aeldari possible since so much of their stuff is compatible/interchangeable. Also, many of their older heroes are using multi-decade old metal models which are hard to find, expensive, and are too small for the modern game. I'm having loads of fun finding parts and making idea boards for the units.
Excellent overview of the process and skills, without lingering too long or being patronising. Thank you!I Also I _love_ the effort and humour you put into these vids. Informative and entertaining!
An extra bonus to a heavily converted army: Everyone will think you are a modeling god and nobody will ever forget your super cool one of a kind minis.
Man, you make it look easy! You keep surprising me with new skills every single video. I know scultping from the last weeks video should translate to this pretty well, but I still think this is a different kind of approach to sculpting, and needs a lot of organization in your head. Can't wait to see them painted next week, they look sick.
I would love to see another kitbashing video and/or sculpting to add character video in the future! Like many commentators have said, this is one of the more fun aspects of the hobby, regardless of how hard GW is trying to stamp it out MONOPOSE STYLE.
We have a good rule at my local. We call it "permanently counts as". You can kit bash and play any unit you like but once you say waht it is, that is what it is. Helps prevent confusion and misunderstanding in the store comp, while still allowing you to be creative.
Love this video, man, kitbashing is one of my favourite things about the hobby, and as cool as I think the newer more dynamic minis are, the tandem move towards less kitbashable kits is a shame. Thanks for the inspiration, and I agree that you got a significantly cooler and totally unique result. Keep up the great work!
I LOVE kitbashing/scratch building, and since I play Orcs & Goblins, it's even simpler! Just grab some sprue and sticks, roll it together in your hands, add glue and smash it down on a base BAM! And you got yourself some Pump Wagons for example. :D
Dude, this video was a shit ton of work I'm sure but I think it's one of your best from a technical filmmaking standpoint - not that my opinion means anything at all lol. But seriously, man, great work on this, excellent shots, I love the sound design and the music cues, great gag bit for the social distancing trade off, excellent work on the actual content of the video, this was really great man, hats off!
Great job smashing all those together..... look forward to seeing them all painted up. Would drive me crazy painting them in their completed form though, good luck slim
Man, you are not just an excellent painter, but a pro at making the videos and narrating them. They are fun to watch and very informative. I paint 1:72 jet fighters, but got to your channel after watching the airbrushes video. I went to visit a friend, and by coincidence, picked up a box of Chaos Cultists at Amatos' Toy store in New Britain, Connecticut, US. I would love to paint a Space Ultramarine and a Blood Angel, but I do not want to get too many of them.
Great video. Kitbashing and converting is honestly my favourite aspect of the hobby, more so than painting. I modify almost every unit I get my hands on even if it's just a simple headswap.
It was really cool how you did a video applying the skill you recently learned. I would love to see you do a vid or two showing how you decide to paint this kitbash.
it needs to looks like a conversion that could exist, meaning it isnt obious ita a conversion. me: yeah that is understandable miniac: yearhghs *shows horifically converted model* me: yeah ok now i get your point
I've been doing even something more than just kitbashing. Some products have excess hand and head parts, so I sculpt my own torso parts from polymer clay. That way I won't have leftover sprue parts. Usually the hands and head are the most difficult parts to craft and there are an excess of them so I just make the torsos and start gluing. I started posting tutorials on my channel and will make a tutorial on "kitbashing" with polymer clay in the near future.
Dude, they look great. It's great to see the videos and skills you learnt like sculpting, then featuring in later videos. It's great to see your skills develop and shows what's possible! Keep it up.
This is pretty much exactly my process for my AdMech Skitarii Praetorians. They're described in the novel Titanicus as techno-barbarians, covered in animal pelts and augments. Hulking monsters, more like AdMech's answer to Space Marines. My solution was to convert AoS Blood Warriors, removing the Khorne iconography, headswapping with leftover Skitarii heads, casting/sculpting reverse jointed legs, and cutting/grafting guns into their shield arms. I run them as Sicariian Infiltrators. They came out cheaper too, ~$60 for 10 instead of 50 for 5. The only downside is the massive amount of work involved, but they look gorgeous.
Great job! Been doing the same to double my Hexwraiths with all the leftover bits for black knights. grab an extra mount and you're in business! first round i used BlueStuff to cast a Reaper skeletal cavalry mount. the current round will use IronWind skeletal horses (cheap!). Voila, 20 Hexwraiths out of two start collecting kits meant for 5 Hexwraiths each.
This is a super interesting video after a while. I love kitbashing. Not only does it save money, it is also a way to have unique units. The only problem is that it takes more time than assembling things out of the box so I do kitbashing only for skirmish games and heroes. Kitbashing entire units is only an option for me if I don't have to use green stuff.
That's pretty cool. I don't play any Warhammer, but your video is a great reminder that one should not be too constricted by what is sold, when pursuing a specific vision for a character. Also: I would like to see your kitbashed models primed and with zenithal highlights.
my old teacher at my boarding school introduced me to necromunda and i tell you he would make some awesome figures by kitbashing sometimes he would even make extra stuff out of polymer or just reusing plastic.
These minis are awesome, a lot of personality! And they are unique! This is what this hobby is about! Very well done! I love kitbashing, not much for units but all my characters are made of bits from my bit box or from the Internet. They deserve to be unique after all!
Really dug the change of pace! The blood knights are on point and kitbashing is probably my favorite aspect of the hobby. Now who was it that told me to paint more minis? I can't seem to remember...
1:23 but its the legendary, "Smiley the Hunter of Avelorn". Seriously, that swap, could make a perfect gangster movie scene, i wonder if in the years to come, the corona will inspired some real to make fillms.
It's interesting watching this after the new plastic kit is shown off, The standard bearer for the kit is female too and the unit as a whole kinda resembles what you came up with more than the classic knights
I am not the only one that sticks magnetized minis to the fridge!!! I put my whole Hobbit Battle Company in the fridge door one night as a surprise for the first person who woke up in the morning. It was still me of course as i'm the first up during the work week, but still, it was a nice surprise.
I love your dedication for your videos. These vampires look absolutely sick and the amount of work you put into it is amazing. And the result is well worth the effort!
This is a fantastic video, I've been planning to kitbash some old fantasy Dwarfs for a long time. Thanks for the great tips and inspiration! I'd also love to see more kitbashing videos, they're so entertaining (and since you're kitbashing, cheap too!).
I dont know if they are the exactly correct scale, but Perry Miniatures have War of Roses and Battle of Agincourt box sets that range from mounted or foot knights to lighter soldiers/ archers that you can build off of. A box usually goes for around $25 USD with about 34 or so minis if theyre not mounted. Though, if your not from the UK - where theyre based - shipping may be annoying to deal with. Edit: They have many other time periods, but these stand out the most if you want armor.
Scott your last two videos have been excellent. I always enjoy the episodes where you have to learn something, it's very interesting to see your process for learning and practicing. Great job man!
Absolutely perfectly timed. I found a few boxes of the old chaos knights that had the metal riders and horse upgrades. Great shout on the terrorgheist vampire. I'll break out the blue stuff and get copying. Thankyou.
I really like converting/kitbashing, great to see a video on this channel about it. May be one day i'll see here same video about some space marine chapters/warbands.
"They have the riders legs attached to them" - Me after removing 10 Infiltrators shoulder plates from the Start Collecting Vanguard Space Marines: "Hows that a problem?"
You should have hit them with Black primer and a white zenithal highlight, so we can see what the cohesive finished model looks like. Also, please do a painting video on them!
Oh god, am i the only one who got a heart attack from watching him highlight text in a book. Even if the book is cheap it still doesn't feel right to me.

Vampire viewers: lick their lips nervously
Imagine living your undead life for hundred of years of training to be the perfect combatant, only to get shot by a 3 weeks old rat on cocaine with with a machine gun.

Or swarmed to death by a mob of screaming, flailing, green morons, who've also only been alive for 3 weeks.

Kinda fitting considering a lot of their products are going up in price again. 😆

Orks would be fun because some of their stuff seems to be similar to contemporary things, so you can hit up the toy aisle.
One word: Rivets
Uh oh, he put kitbashing and saving money together at the same time, the channels success has clearly gone to his head.
Puh, save money while kitbashing, the man's mad!
To be fair, he spend as much as a regular unit cavalry would cost but bloodknights are just absurdly expensive.
AoS heroes are easy places to save quite a bit of money by kitbashing, but that's also true in some edge cases, like these, Varanguard, Gyrocopters, and getting the most out of kits like the Volleygun and Hurricanum. Mostly it's just a way to make your stuff look better in your army, like using drakespawn for saurus knights or using anything else than the regular set for Freeguild Handgunners.

Lets hope so.
can we just mention the fact that he gave him mc Donald's? Nearly died of laughter there.
My favorite part was the banner. Brass, drilling, glue, perfection.
Kit bashin and sculptung makes your army Unique.TRUE LOVE.
This view just popped up on my feed but I really enjoyed watching it. For me, part of the enjoyment of the hobby is kitbashing - it's a way to save money but also make your units really unique. I'm currently kitbashing basically everything Aeldari possible since so much of their stuff is compatible/interchangeable. Also, many of their older heroes are using multi-decade old metal models which are hard to find, expensive, and are too small for the modern game. I'm having loads of fun finding parts and making idea boards for the units.

Highlighting a book, that's heresy in my eyes.
We have a good rule at my local. We call it "permanently counts as". You can kit bash and play any unit you like but once you say waht it is, that is what it is. Helps prevent confusion and misunderstanding in the store comp, while still allowing you to be creative.

Awesome work as usual Scott, by far my fav mini painting channel. I'm yet to find a video that hasn't made me laugh. I love your humor.
Cant wait to see these painted
Kitbashing is the best thing in our hobby
This is a fantastic video, I've been planning to kitbash some old fantasy Dwarfs for a long time. Thanks for the great tips and inspiration! I'd also love to see more kitbashing videos, they're so entertaining (and since you're kitbashing, cheap too!).
I dont know if they are the exactly correct scale, but Perry Miniatures have War of Roses and Battle of Agincourt box sets that range from mounted or foot knights to lighter soldiers/ archers that you can build off of. A box usually goes for around $25 USD with about 34 or so minis if theyre not mounted. Though, if your not from the UK - where theyre based - shipping may be annoying to deal with.
Edit: They have many other time periods, but these stand out the most if you want armor.
The thumbnail for this video had me dying hahaha.
Next video needs to be you painting these badass Blood Knights! Show us what these kitbash knights have got, Scott.
(Did it for the rhyme baby).
the kitbashing stuff is always fun video material
Scott your last two videos have been excellent. I always enjoy the episodes where you have to learn something, it's very interesting to see your process for learning and practicing. Great job man!
Thanks for this. It really helped me.
Makes me want to finish my soulblight stuff. Thanks for the detailed list of bits.
Thanks Scott.
Absolutely perfectly timed. I found a few boxes of the old chaos knights that had the metal riders and horse upgrades. Great shout on the terrorgheist vampire. I'll break out the blue stuff and get copying. Thankyou.
Watching you drill your hand really made me smile....because I saw it coming because I may have learned from experience......
Would love to see a future video of these being painted up! Great work Scott
How many memories, i did a similar thing eith black knight before they had the plastic model. Great job awsome result you had!
I really like converting/kitbashing, great to see a video on this channel about it. May be one day i'll see here same video about some space marine chapters/warbands.
5:00 Jon with a whole Kingdom Death: Monster Core game and a bunch of expansions just chilling unopened. Thats worth a small fortune.
"They have the riders legs attached to them"
- Me after removing 10 Infiltrators shoulder plates from the Start Collecting Vanguard Space Marines: "Hows that a problem?"
such a great conversion love to see these painted up
Kitbashing videos are my favorite
As a 40k player that is in love with high fantasy, these are beautiful.
Awesome kitbash. I'm truly inspired.
The High Elf Dragon Princes were once used as an alternative to the Blood knights..They are out of production but could be found on Ebay.
You should have hit them with Black primer and a white zenithal highlight, so we can see what the cohesive finished model looks like. Also, please do a painting video on them!
Yes please
Yo Scott this vid was lit fam. Aesthetic, pacing, skits, and subject matter are all top notch. Enjoyed this one a good deal. Keep up the good work!
Oh god, am i the only one who got a heart attack from watching him highlight text in a book.
Even if the book is cheap it still doesn't feel right to me.
I cringed
i like how visceral it felt
I underline in pencil when I want to highlight something, never highlighter
It feel so good to just treat the shitty paperback books you own like absolute shit though
@@opium9266 oh calm down
