I have only recently gotten into the whole model part of warhammer, and I have to say that you have almost singlehandedly awakened my desire to learn to kitbash and sculpt. I am just in love with your work - especially Mechanicus ones. Great work!
I don't think the first one was bad or even sexualized, its just a matter of how age/seniority and how far down the path of worship to the Machine God a member of the Cult Mechanicus is. The lower rank members tend to be much, much more human and with her simpler robes and mechanical parts its clear your first conversion read more as 'young lady of the mechanicus' while this one is an old, saggy crone of old wrinkled flesh and weird metal parts. Both are completely valid esthetics for a Tech Priestess and represent the opposite ends of youth versus old age.
yeah, this is basically a feminine manipulus while the other is more of an enginseer (also a thing i really like about the original manipulus techpriests and some of the designs in the mechanicus games is how they are somewhat androgynous, since the admech dont care about gender expression really)
I've commented about it as well, and asked if he had a reason for not painting any of his conversions. I never got a reply though, so I don't know. I'd love to see him paint these guys. It would really show off how well the kitbash came together to make it look like it could be a model straight off games workshop's store.
@@lunardeathblade2570 think in one of the videos he mentions that he's got no experience nor skill in painting, only in modelling. I'd love to see a competent painter take a crack at his works though.
this bash has similar vibes to Scaevola from Mechanicus imo, absolute 10/10 Also, "all genders deserve to be unsettling and insectile in service to the Machine God" is an excellent quote and I love it
I feel like the 3 arms behind the the cane and axe gave a cool beetle look to her and with her long section armor across her she looks like something that would work along side kataphron breachers
"Why is there an Arx Mechanicus ship in orbit?" "Greetings members of this planet, I heard you were starving, so I brought food!" [Proceeds to dump entire cargo of granny food]
This is awesome! You did such a great job maintaining the tech priest aesthetic. I can just imagine the priestess muttering to herself about the younglings!
I'm sad, I really wanted to do a take on this adding some trailing cabling but it appears the model is no longer available anywhere that I can locate :(
Really good effort. I've been looking for a decent model for a Tech Priest. I overlooked this one. I think I'll start off with Fabius Bile but this Nurgle model is pretty useful for this purpose.
@@kitbosh Kinda agree with the lad above, I think its fine to use female bodies despite le boob armour, but thats why you try to make it not the focus :) In fact I noticed you could have put that arm belly armor over it, and have the extra arms act like they are coming from the cloak/hood! So basically super fancy glasses holders lol
@@kitbosh I personally feel you cut away too much and the female features just aren't strongly there. But that's just me. The result is stellar either way.
I really like this conversion, this is probably my favorite one you've done so far and I intend on mimicking it for a dominus. That being said, please, smooth our your green stuff work. I know you aren't painting them but even still being built that rough and patchy makes them incomplete and it's sad to see.
@@viciousyeen6644 I agree, for me it was lost at 2:59. The boob job removed the defining bit that made the techpriestess identifiable as a techpriestess. I think 2:47-2:57 was a great representation of techpriestess, unlike some other 3rd party miniature sites. *cough* wargames exclusive (minus the DOMINA) *cough*
@@internetman1213 exactly! And it’s already hard to get female models that don’t look too sexy (don’t get me wrong some look good, but it just doesn’t fit in a realistic approach), this version here could’ve been a great representation of an older woman fitting the in-universe role of a magus perfectly.
I actually really enjoyed what you had 2:47-2:57. I might try exactly that or something similar for a dark mechanicum techpriestess (proxy for a Warp Smith)
I absolutely love this, though as others have said I don't think she particularly reads as female anymore (not that she reads as male either; it's a bit of a moot point when it comes to techpriests of a certain age anyway). But if she wants to tell me she's a woman, I'm not inclined to argue. :p
Its a shame you carved out the gut and chest on her before changing the first pair of arms as they would have looked cool on the final design Great stuff though, always really loved how you show the full process
okay this looks awesome! I love the pose you ended up with in the end! Just out of curiosity, have you ever thought of using the static hand weapon things of Corpuscarii electro-priests for a kitbash?
"I want a female tech priest.". *immediately removes the only identifying female characteristic*. LOL! I got a chuckle over that. Still an awesome kitbash/conversion! I think it would have been worth it to go back a resculpt the breasts, or leave those off and sculpt in a long glorious braid. Like she wanted to remove the weakness of flesh, but still loves her hair. Inspirational for me, since my collection is very lacking in female characters (because I REFUSE to have over sexualized miniatures). Over half the ones I do have, I've had to sculpt clothes or armor on them for it to even make sense and look like they fit.
Ooh, I like the braid idea. I'll have to remember it. And yeah, it's a pain how few non over sexualized female models there are. I'm actually currently working on a video for making alternate sisters of battles that are less corset-and-bustier-esque.
@@kitbosh can't wait! I run my own home brew rules for skirmish gaming and definitely need some female characters that are actually dressed for battle haha! The Sedition Wars game had some really good minis. They were about 50/50 male and female, and all wore same body armor.
IMO you should have carved off the nurgle belly first and kept the manipulus belly. You could have still changed the arms and maybe added a few more tiny tech bits and maintained the idea of a wise tech priestess. Plus, you wound up cutting off the belly of the nurgle kit anyway xD
Im 4 models in and loving it, though I must say tho that I bought a pack of miliput just to learn to sculpt and even kitbash, you awakened me to try and do that, as well as try to craft shields, or even little skills for bases (they aren’t good tho...) Gotta ask, what is your input on miliput vs Green stuff? Is greenstuff a bit more soft vs miliput? Miliput is a pain to sculpt
Thanks! It's awesome to see people excited in the hobby. Greenstuff is good for things like structural integrity: it's much stickier and more gummy before it hardens than milliput. Honestly I use both, and I'd just get some to try it out
This is incredible. I'm looking into making my own inquisitor with the same method. But I lack any spare bits to use. How does one approach this without investing into a lot of new characters?
I just wonder were do you get all the bitz you use? Because your channel has inspired me to start kitbashing my own models and I was wondering if you bought whole kits or just bitz on bitz sites
So I largely use bit sites, because often I just want a piece of two from a given set and it's cheaper that way. That's said, if you're going to be using the full kit it can sometimes be more effective just to buy the full kit. So for example, with this build I bought the full wurmspat kit because I knew I would use all of it, while the manipulus parts I got off a bit site.
This reads really well as a techpriest, but it doesn't really read as female to me. Carving out the front was necessary, but it left her gender rather difficult to discern-- All that's left, after all, are her hips to go by. I'd be absolutely down to see this girl on the table, though!

Thanks! That's honestly such a huge compliment, I love seeing new people getting into kitbashing
No idea why this is in my recommends today but that is some excellent craftsmanship.
In classic Admech fashion the model gradually transcends beyond her asigned gender. Love it
There is no need for genders if you can simply replace everything on your body with tubes! Tubes for the Tubegod!

"Assigned gender" lmao. People believe any old nonsense these days.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah
I craved the strength and certainty of steel, I aspired to the purity of the blessing machine.
Your kind clings to your flesh. As if it will not decay and fail you.
One day the crude biomass you call a temple, will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you.
Grandma Tech Priest was actually a really nice idea
I love this! This is exactly how I’d always pictured Mechanicus’ Scavola’s body looking like had they drawn more than just a portrait of her face.
this bash has similar vibes to Scaevola from Mechanicus imo, absolute 10/10

You are seriously the best converter out there. Please please please please do some Oldhammer Empire conversions of anything. ANYTHING :,) THANK YOU!
This is awesome! You did such a great job maintaining the tech priest aesthetic. I can just imagine the priestess muttering to herself about the younglings!
Dude this fantastic, this is what I imagine a tech priestess would actually look like.
Excellent work! I'm really impressed by how you put this all together.
Excellent, intelligent and thoughtful commentary. Great vid.
great job on her, you have improved since the first one
Thanks! I've learned a lot since then
As always, your conversion is absolutely amazing!
It looks great, it looks so menacing and a true follower of the omnissaiah
I'm sad, I really wanted to do a take on this adding some trailing cabling but it appears the model is no longer available anywhere that I can locate :(
Incredible work as always
This is great! Your ideas are inspiring.
I love your admech conversions
I feel you were into something at 2:42 . Not the same thing you ended up with but definitely something equally cool.
This reminds me of the monster from the movie Hardware - high praise.
Indeed!
man you made me want to find it and watch it
@@Matt-md5yt I don't think you will be disappointed. If you like gritty scifi horror movies made on a shoestring budget, it's gold.
Best model you've made - hand's down.
Love this... great job. Really enjoy your conversions... keep them coming.. they always inspire me to make my own.😁👍
This kind of kitbashing is my what-I-want-to-do-when-I-grow-up. #lifegoals Thanks for another amazing video!
Really good effort. I've been looking for a decent model for a Tech Priest. I overlooked this one. I think I'll start off with Fabius Bile but this Nurgle model is pretty useful for this purpose.
the model looks stellar, but with the final result I feel like you could have started with a male model and it would have worked fine.
Maybe? It's always hard to say with these things. The hips are important I think to making her read as female.

These conversions are so damn good
this is a really cool design
Please keep up the amazing work
This one, this one is so sick. Great job!
Finally, a proper tech priest
While the end result is a good model, I think you lost her feminine aura in the process
I think that's alright for a techpriest, though?
@@gh0s7-704 Yeah of course, but his goal was a feminine look, that’s more of a neutral cool techpriest

“Once I discovered the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me...”
Great choices
Sooo, where is duck marine?
On assignment
Looks wonderfully creepy. Good job
2:23 personally I prefer this version than final one. Looks like (that annoying fly on my window) she was plotting how to rob another necron tomb.
I actually really enjoyed what you had 2:47-2:57. I might try exactly that or something similar for a dark mechanicum techpriestess (proxy for a Warp Smith)
is it just me or does every piece he used look gigantic? i have a TP manipulus and i don't remember the front being so dang big
From the thumbnail i thought it was gonna be a chaos tech priest
I personally would've stopped at 2:25 and called it there, I like the gut
Thanks for this vid , I always like the admech stuff :)
This is a grim dark Tech Priestess I do have to say I would love to see a larger model tho maybe something the size of Cawl
Looks really cool but I’d like to see how it turns out painted
I'd love to see you kitbash a Thunder Warrior.
Fantastic kitbash
This is soooo fucking good my dude
This model is so fucking SICK
This is amazing

You know, I thought that too. Sometimes you don't realize that kind of stuff until after the fact.
@@kitbosh You win some you lose some! hahaha
I suppose its all part of the learning process
Dude you should really collab with a painting youtuber... would be so amazing

Just out of curiosity, have you ever thought of using the static hand weapon things of Corpuscarii electro-priests for a kitbash?
Did he paint his conversion or he keep it like that ?
He is color blind and that's why he doesn't paint his minis
Yoooo lit asf boooy
Was thinking of doing something similar to the morvenn vahl

This is incredible. I'm looking into making my own inquisitor with the same method. But I lack any spare bits to use. How does one approach this without investing into a lot of new characters?
I'd try using bit sites. Availability of bits can be a little sparse, but it's much cheaper than buying full sets.
Greyfax as example of attractive and sexualized, that is some 4D level of humour.

Have you considered using lord inquisitor kyria draxus for a kitbash?
Granny gray wires
sweet.
*She's pog*
The first one is a good Engiseer
Nurgle *Flavor*
Hunched and gaunt? That is some serious bodyshaming the Adeptus Excitatus wants a word with you.
Scavola from the mechanicus game
neat
Would Love to see you make azhag from warhammer fantasy
What's the head you were considering at 1:31s?
3:48 is that a dibber ?
What about a diplomatic Ork from saga of the beast?
Even in the final product she’s still a grandma
0:22 Inquisitor Greyfax is your reference for "attractive or sexualized"????
Luckily "aCc0rdInG 2 lORE" the sex/gender of the Mechanicus will always be binary.
Based.
I love how she looks, always nice to see female designs that are weird and ugly (positive) looking
Love it, like one of blanche's original artworks from 2nd edition - Just needs a retinue of tiny bald goggle wearing asistants XD
Right right, it was looking "goood". Jokes aside, nice job!
Scaevola, is that you?
This is what happens to your qt3.14 Techpriestess GF when she turns 40
wow
Whats wrong with a grandma tech priestess?, the idea of it just sounds cool and could look awesome.
I think that sexualised point is moot, the GW Female models don't look like plus size "models" is what you're suggesting
whats INQ28?
