GSC seems to be a good option for rules, especially if you’re using a lot of GSC bits as a base for the conversion. Chaos is another obvious choice, and I’ve seen a blog with someone doing Skaven Admech which worked surprisingly well too.
What's great is how in the Old World lore most mortals didn't even believe the Skaven existed, but yet they did. Now the same thing can be said about the 40,000 millennia. Love it, thanks for sharing.
For a video idea why not a Space Seraphon? Maybe using Tao parts to add a clean yet still religious-esque style to them (maybe using the bloodbowl seraphon figure because the regular ones are a bit outdated)
The December 2019 issue of White Dwarf has some Seraphon which have been converted with some necron parts to give them some extra future tech stuff, which is definitely worth the look :)
That's a cool looking mini. I made a squad of Space Rats by using a box of Stormvermin and leftover, less-human hands from the Neophyte and Acolyte Hybrid kits. The clawed hands really fit the Skaven aesthetic, and it is generally a quick and easy conversion. That paint job you've given your rat-boy is really cool and grim-dark.
Funny, one of the 40k original lore videos just made something called "Kreigers clear the Rats Nest" which a lot of people were apparently hoping were Kreigers fighting Space Skaven. Good timing!
Well, since you are asking for ideas: Ork: "our boss found a humi stompa and made it into his power armor" Tau: turn the weeb level to 250% und make a battle suit samurai Fantasy Chaos: a Gor chaos champion (a Nurgle one might be fun) Guardsmen: Regiment from a feudal world. Alternatively: a space marine chapter or an order of sisters of battle from a feudal world. Fantasy revamp: Dogs of War - Paymaster, just to have something that is completely our of left field. 40K in general: a rogue trader
Space Skaven: 7pts. M7 WS2 BS3 S3 T3 W1 A2 Ld6 Sv4+ Squads of up to 25. Special rule "clanpestine", can opt to ignore morale if>10 models in unit, but must stand still next turn if they opt to do this, all take auto guns. Three in ten can any of heavy assault flamer(+6pts). Lascanon(+15pts). Heavy bolter(+5pts). Grenade launcher(+3pts). Can can upgrade further 1in 10 Censor Bearer(+20pts). Warp Stone Miasma causes D3 mortal wounds in shooting phase. On a D3 of a natual 6 the Skaven also take a mortal wound. RANGE 8 inches.
I remember yesterday thinking, huh, I should buy some skaven and use the genestealers cultists for clawed hands to make some space rat Boiz, and lo and behold you have a video on doing just that
I don't play fantasy battle or sigma but still love buying and painting a few skaven. A leman russ / screaming bell deranged conversion would be quite an amusing project! I'm slightly tempted to do it. I collect imperial guard and blood angles 40k but have always had a real soft spot for all things skaven. The first miniatures I ever brought were skaven ordred from a white dwarf in 1989. 2 x rat ogers, a champion and warlock jezel.... a 40k skaven heavy weapons team conversion had much areal too!!
Mantic Veer-myn (and Ratkin) just work really well as a Rat Mutant Cult. Ratkin actually work great as Oldschool Skaven for Warhammer Fantasy, The 9th Age, etc, as well.
Nice thought! Since GW has no rules for Space Skaven, one might use those minis simply as Chaos Cultists of a Death Guard army. I'd love too see GW catch this on an put 'em in just like the Tzaangor....
Video Idea: A Felinid Imperial Guard conversion. No canon art of them exists so you can really get creative with it. Then make a kill team for both the Felinids and your Space Skaven for a cat vs mouse game!
I have to say, it would be amazing if you did conversions similar to your plastic biovore for the various Skaven Weapon Teams and Skryre Acolytes. The models are ancient and mainly metal or fine cast.
I started making my own space skaven based on your video and it looks great, however it isn't very financially friendly. Making a full combat patrol of CheeseStealers will need many many acolyte kits. Still, great video and thanks for the inspiration.
Love your vids. Conversions were always my favourite part of the hobby: smashing together WHFB and 40k kits was something I did a bit of: Chaos Warriors and Chaos Space Marines... it was meant to be! I think Eldar is definitely a good source of video content for you. There’s the aspect warriors which could use updating, as well as old factions like Corsairs and Exodites, and new like Ynnari (making them more unified rather that just Dark and Craftworlds models just mixed up with a similar colour scheme)
i would like to think that these space skaven are chaos-tainted ratmen from the imperium. not sure about alinement, but if i had to guess, perhaps like a separate army of chaos undivided like the black legion and word bearers (along with their offshoot warbands)
In case you want to buy cool space (and legally distinct) ratmen, Mantic sells them (as well as squats). Anyway, this is a really cool conversion video!
Let's try Tau Guevesa (human warriors of the Tau Empire) they don't have any energetic armor and would be fun to make using the palatine force from necromunda, their are a lot of them in the farsight enclaves btw
So this is what the tyranids are running from.

40K Skaven releases when, GW? I would buy them all, yes-yes.
I'm sure AoS skaven players would really like new sculpts. Plastic kits would also make Acolytes a valid choice, which it currently is not.
Inquisitor:"For the last time governor! The Space Vermin don't exist!"
Inquisitor later on his ship:"Exterminutus Now!.... no one can ever know..."
Skaven just seem to fit the 40k universe IMO. Huge overpopulated, futuristic cities should include large mutated, plagued rats
TBH I just kinda assumed if they existed in 40k, they'd be found at the lowest levels of hive-worlds, where mutants are plentiful.
@@CesarTheKingVA They used to as the Hrud, then GW threw them out with the Squats.... So maybe they can return?
Seems obvious now you point it out
@@CesarTheKingVA No-No. There are no Rat-Skaven under Man-Things Hive Cities.
In 40k, the Imperium are the Skaven
This is such a good conversion. Also I want to collect Skaven now.
I like those more complex conversions
Thank you :D
I would say use the Genestealer Cult for their rules too. This is an Amazing conversion and the Paint Job made it sing.

Definitely gonna want a painting guide for this one.
I'm just imagining how funny it'd be to hear a marine shouting at his brothers to: "TARGET THAT RATLING GUN!"
I honestly love this idea, makes me want a space skaven race for real :D
What's great is how in the Old World lore most mortals didn't even believe the Skaven existed, but yet they did. Now the same thing can be said about the 40,000 millennia. Love it, thanks for sharing.
I liked this faster than I could snort a line of warpstone
One of my favorite conversion youve made.
Im curious if you could make a Lizardmen into the 40k universe too!
Thank you and space lizards would be cool too!

@@PeteTheWargamer space lizard wizard
For a video idea why not a Space Seraphon? Maybe using Tao parts to add a clean yet still religious-esque style to them (maybe using the bloodbowl seraphon figure because the regular ones are a bit outdated)

@@dndlover2690 Genestealer cult killa kans
These used to be a thing back on the early RT and 40k. I know there was at least a couple orkstealers models

Just a tip I figured out while doing this for myself, instead of a green stuff roller for the tail, you can just use a fine tooth comb.
That's gotta be my favorite so far. Love the space skaven!
I was contemplating how best to tackle such a project using GW kits just this morning and here it is. Thanks for doing the hard part
Funny, one of the 40k original lore videos just made something called "Kreigers clear the Rats Nest" which a lot of people were apparently hoping were Kreigers fighting Space Skaven. Good timing!
Really?! What a fun coincidence, I've been planning these guys for weeks and don't really follow the lore channels.
@@PeteTheWargamer Coincidence of the highest caliber.

Well, since you are asking for ideas:
Ork: "our boss found a humi stompa and made it into his power armor"

Another idea: chaos dwarfs!

Just thinking how awesome/funny it would be to deploy a 40k version of the big vermin lord. Personally I'd love to see a 40k mega gargant
Budget tip, if you dont want to give greenstuff world your money, you can pick up a cheap set of combs to use as tentacle/conduit roller instead.
I'm told those wire tools are no longer available because GSW essentially stole the patent.
The Skaven looks great - especially the glowing shard!
Fantastic! I play Space Skaven as Admech aka Squeetarii
Well, Grimdark Future have a Skaven-like army list, so the conversion is totally legal, don´t worry.
This awesome video demands a painting guide. Brilliant job, easily the best/most thematic kit-bash I’ve seen.
awesome glad you brought a Skaven into the 40k. you did one heck of a job on his guy
Video of the year! Thank you Pete.
Thank you! I love the Skavens in Space!!!
This is amazing! Well done, you should be incredibly proud of this! I love how this model looks and the paintwork is the icing on the cake

... should definitevely have watched the whole video before commenting
done a few of those myself, i liked converting the lead infantry armed with Jezzail's into plasma rifles. also used greenstuff to add gas masks
Really nice work. Rat Ogres kitbashed from Catachan Ogryns could work really nicely too!
There is a nice project CyberRats that people might enjoy
For the Tail you can also use a comb
Would be awesome to see you tackle the Phoenix Lords
Would love to see a conversion of the All Guardsmen Party as a squad
Amazing!!!! Thanks so much!!!
That looks incredibly good! Well done!
Brambly hedge sure look different from what I remember as a kid
Maybe next time you could make a space seraphon a.k.a. Lizardpeople of Nocturne
Could be fun as Tau troops, to lean into the whole "united for the greater good" thing
The gas masks gives me Krieg vibes and now I want to see that army converted to being skaven only.
That would fit the theme nicely!
Foot idea genius!
Thanks!
Would like to see some New Tanith first and only Guardsman, or Vidrian Dragoons...
Space Lizardmen next!
Would love a tutorial for the rust effects. What did you use to get such nice uniformity? It looks perfect for light surface rust.
