This was probably my favorite conversion to date so I hope you all enjoy! Please consider supporting me by using my Firestorm Games affiliates link: www.firestormgames.co.uk/?aff=5e3c31a8c2143
Why can't WG standartize the models to accept different body parts and bits from the same range(ie Primaris to Primaris, IG to IG etc...) without cutting and sanding? It would boost their sales if average players could simply glue together a kitbash of their desire = more incentive to buy different stuff.
@@DzinkyDzink it looks like a lot of the older space marine kits were standardized because most bits were interchangeable. I think most of the new kits will be when they release the full kits instead of just the monopose ones. They always get released first and are cheaper to buy and easier to build, so more people buy them.
This is a very impressive conversion Pete! This painted model looks really good too and I hope you will do a tutorial on painting this figure too. Thanks for making this.
YYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!! Been waiting for something like this. Nice work, Pete. There are a lot of space wolf players scratching their heads about how to convert the Indomitus boxset. Thanks for answering the call.
Rondel is an old word for round and would typically be a small circular plate of armour or a dagger, so that is probably not right either. The ones on space marines would just be called shields, in medieval times a knight would usually hang his shield from his shoulder to keep his hand free which is where i think GW got the aesthetic from.
GW staff have been calling them tilt shields, tilting plates. I've heard it referred to as a "turn-lance", presumably in reference to jousting? Rondal is another good one to add to the toolbelt.
Looks awesome. Nice job! I made my own out of intercessor bodies and was playing to use these guys in a different army, but this might have persuaded me to wolf them up. 🤘
Well Done Pete! I can't wait to get my hands on these big boys to start their Wolfy conversions! I have a ton of third party bits (Kromlech, Puppetswar, SpellCrow, etc) and I am so pumped to really get to work!
Hi Pete! This video inspired me to create my own White Scar Bladeguard Captain. I enjoy kitbashing and converting also. i am working on my White Scar Outriders and the Chaplain right now.
This turned out really well. I'm trying to decide what I want to do for my Salamanders successor. The shields I might end up getting some 3d printed replacements, because they really don't seem to fit for Salamanders.
Thanks for another great video mate, I'm stuck trying to decide weather to go Space Wolves or Ultras for my first foray into Primaris marines, this is definitely making me think Wolves.
Outstanding work. how would you do one for Minotaurs chapter, could curve out abdomin cloth to look like armour possibly,Greek themed abs kind of look.
Sorry if this is off topic but the gold on that space wolf is absolutely perfect. Just what I was looking for to paint my Carcharodons. Does anyone know the name of the paints used to create the Gold?
I used Army Painter metallics: 2 parts Weapon Bronze to 1 part Gun Metal mixture for the base, washed with Agrax and then applied a highlight of 1 part WB to 1 part GM
The armpit shield is called a "besagew", Its only called a "rondel" if its round. All rondels are besagews, but not all besagews are rondels. They are commonly miscalled rondels because the term rondel existed first. But as rondel means "round" or "small circle", the term besagew came into use to describe any non-circular version.
I love it!! I'll be doing the Deathwing conversion when my box set arrives but this Space Wolve is awesome!! And those DEAD ANIMAL BITS always seem to come in useful lol
@@PeteTheWargamer my main source of D.A.B is obviously the GW Skull set! But is there any other kits or anything out there that is also a good source of DEAD ANIMAL BITS?
Could you make a painting tutorial of this color scheme for space wolves, obviously not the same model but just a painting tutorial. ii love this scheme and would love to know the paints you used to make it and how you applied it.
I was planning to kitbash some of these completely from scratch, using intercessors as a base and adding a ton of bits from other kits. However, this turned out really well, so now I'm thinking I might just use the original Bladeguard vets as the base. I'll probably wait for the multipart kit though as I suspect that will make quite a few of the steps a fair bit easier.
Your my hero... I've been struggling though, because I'm a white scar fan. Would you possibly do white scars anytime soon or have a suggestion on where to start?
Just curious about your thoughts on another way of covering up the removed rondel. Adding some cloth made of greenstuff or similar material. Reaching from below the shoulderpad down to the belt. Turning the loinscloth it already has into some kind of tabard. I know it might get some small resemblance to the Dark Angels robes tho.
I love this model, but as you swapped the sword for an axe and the datasheet speciffically says powersword, they arent actually legal for official play, though im sure most places will be fine with it. Its important to keep in mind that some wont.
Intensely cool. I don't much care for the Space Wolves aesthetic, but damn if seeing the finished miniature didn't make me wanna build some! Great content.
I gave you grief for doing the Heresy Emperor's Children scheme instead of the current one, but I agree with using the Heresy Space Wolves theme. It really does look a lot better.
Thank you for this video. Gives a great pointer on making the bladeguard more wolfy/Viking. Not perfect of course, the robes definite don’t match the sons of Russ, but I will take what I can get until GW actually comes up with Space Wolves specific aesthetic Primaris.
I based my conversion loosely on Viking Huscarls which wore tabards beneath their armour. I like to think that the cloth of this model follows that theme.
Pete The Wargamer they did? Ok will checkup on those so that I can justify in my head that Vikings wore Tabards in the past. For me, I can imagine they did after their Christinazatioj but not before. Thanks for reply, will do my own further research
Darn... I start to Imagine things... I really Had the "Real Ninja wear Blue" Sound bit from Gaijin Goomba under your Dead Animal Bits Catchphrase... my viewing Habits get to me ... oO
Hi, Pete I've been watching your content and I love it. I've been trying to figure out how to do a samurai space marine chapter but I'm struggling to find the appropriate parts on GW website or forge world. Could you do a samurai space marine kit bash video, that would be awesome 😎

*The return of Dead Animal Bits*
I love those DEAD ANIMAL BITS!!
Peta:REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Holy smokes that is INCREDIBLE! But dude, you gotta hit me with that frost axe recipe. That blade is looking icey af!
Yes Please! That axe is gorgeous!
I'll have to dig out another frost weapon from my bitz box!
Any chance of a tutorial on how to paint that axe? It looks just like ice and I love it!
Sure! I just kind of experimented with it and was quite happy with how it turned out.
+100. Really keen to learn how you did that!
@@PeteTheWargamer Pete i would call that experiment a success because it looks amazing the depth it seems to have it so cool
@@PeteTheWargamer I was going to ask the same thing. It's quite impressive, and the feel I've been looking for. Hope you do a tutorial on it.
@@PeteTheWargamer Was really blown away on how good it looks, will want to see how you did it as well
you had me at Space Wolves, great job on this guy
Thanks!
This is a very impressive conversion Pete! This painted model looks really good too and I hope you will do a tutorial on painting this figure too. Thanks for making this.
That's the plan!
@@PeteTheWargamer have you forgotten ?
luckily previous Firstborn SW kits came with tons of accessories and distinctive weapons and shields
Yeah! It made my dark
Imperium conversions way easier
I have been saving my Blood Angels firstborn spares for this moment
I just hope that when these kits are eventually phased out that they have decent replacements for them!
Yay! A kitbash vid that isn't a stream!
Hell yeah!
High quality content.
Exactly :D
I hate it when there is a kitbash I want to see, but it’s a stream.
@@plaidpvcpipe3792 I feel the same way
I miss the streams
YYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!! Been waiting for something like this. Nice work, Pete. There are a lot of space wolf players scratching their heads about how to convert the Indomitus boxset. Thanks for answering the call.
Glad you enjoyed it and there is much more to come.
Going to say it as well we need to see the painting tutorial for this
Whoa this is an OUTSTANDING conversion and that paint job is EPIC. You've knocked it out of the park with this one sir. Very well done. :)
Thanks a bunch!
Please do a tutorial on painting that armor paint scheme, the colors are so good!!
Thank you!
@@PeteTheWargamer seconded! I've been trying to find a Legion colour scheme that wasn't too drab and dull... that's really nice!
That's a great kitbash, and the painting on the Frost Axe is amazing.
I know there are a few other comments already saying this, but if we could get a painting tutorial on that axe we would love you forever Pete!
I suppose I had to at this point 😂
Neat conversion and thats some amazing red painting on the model. I was going to go with the sky blue space wolves but now you have me rethinking
IT'S CALLED A RONDLE! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY YEARS I HAVE WANTED TO KNOW IT'S NAME!
I used to call them "tilting plates" but rondal is better.
Rondel is an old word for round and would typically be a small circular plate of armour or a dagger, so that is probably not right either. The ones on space marines would just be called shields, in medieval times a knight would usually hang his shield from his shoulder to keep his hand free which is where i think GW got the aesthetic from.
GW staff have been calling them tilt shields, tilting plates. I've heard it referred to as a "turn-lance", presumably in reference to jousting? Rondal is another good one to add to the toolbelt.
"Turn-lance" - definitely jousting
The correct term is besagew
4:17 new sample for my next dark grim techno tune. DEAD ANIMAL BEATS
If this was done, I would simply HAVE to use it in my videos
@@PeteTheWargamer Ohh its on. Just you wait.
That axe looks stunning!
Great job, I personally would have left the shoulder pad and save time with a transfer, but great explanation on how to do it.
Definitely, but I just love sculpted emblems!
Absolutely fantastic paintjob!! And great conversion too!
Beautiful paint scheme! That is one clean wolf.
Thank you very much!
Thank for showing us this conversion!
Going to be using this and the deathwing one for my deathwatch, can't wait to see what you do next
lots of cool stuff to come!
Best kitbash I have ever seen! I Weill certainly try and recreate this with my own space wolves once I pickup some bladeguards! Well done sir👌
Thats a amazing paintjob weldone.
Looks awesome. Nice job!
I made my own out of intercessor bodies and was playing to use these guys in a different army, but this might have persuaded me to wolf them up. 🤘
Thanks!
planning on doing a tutorial how you painted him? really like the steal of it!
**style
You really have had your brave pills the way you hack at a new model. I’m not sure I’d have the courage. Awesome conversion, keep up the great content
You can do it!
I love the colour of the blade, it really stands out. 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
The conversion is really nice but the painting is awesome and the axe incredible.
I realy Love this style - would you share how you painted the pre heresy Power armor?
Was thinking about doing this myself, then your video popped up! Amazing work, thank you. Definitely doing this!
Go for it!
The Deathwing video you made gave me the concept for my Drakeguard Veterans im converting the Bladeguards too for my Salamanders🦎
Awesome, I'd love to do Salamanders again at some point!
woah he looks like loyalist Wulfrik the Wanderer, great job as always!
cool conversion, nice colors!
A video on converting Elysian Drop Troops would be amazing, I imagine pretty tough to do though
Yea. That axe looks amazing. A tutorial on that would be amazing.
beautiful conversion!
Well Done Pete! I can't wait to get my hands on these big boys to start their Wolfy conversions! I have a ton of third party bits (Kromlech, Puppetswar, SpellCrow, etc) and I am so pumped to really get to work!
Lots of great parts from those guys that would work fantastically with the new Indomitus stuff.
Hi Pete!
This video inspired me to create my own White Scar Bladeguard Captain. I enjoy kitbashing and converting also. i am working on my White Scar Outriders and the Chaplain right now.
I checked out your White Scar Captain, really great work there both in the conversion and paint job!
@@PeteTheWargamer thanks ever so much for checking it out and I appreciate the kind words.
@@PeteTheWargamer also, would love to work with you on a conversion collaboration or something one day. One can dream haha
Wow this is exactly what I needed guidance on today!
Glad it was helpful!

Utterly stunning

By Russ, that Frost-Axe surely has an other-worldly glow to it!!! Fenrys Hjolda!
That figure is awesome!
Thank you!
DOD GAMN that looks amazeballs when it's all painted.
Thank you!
The ice effect on the axe looks so good
Thanks!
Any chance for a tutorial on how to paint this guy? The axe and armour look incredible
I'll be doing guides for his armor and frost weapons 🙂
This is stunning!
This turned out really well. I'm trying to decide what I want to do for my Salamanders successor. The shields I might end up getting some 3d printed replacements, because they really don't seem to fit for Salamanders.

SW should be getting their own supplements at some point to
I have all these kits!! All new, waiting for my indomitous box. This is perfect !
Enjoy!
Outstanding work.
how would you do one for Minotaurs chapter, could curve out abdomin cloth to look like armour possibly,Greek themed abs kind of look.
Do a tutorial on the paint scheme on this model please!
Nice idea!
@@PeteTheWargamer Yes I'd love to know how you achieved the gold trim, this is what I've been trying to get for a long time.
It seems one of the prerequisites to creating a Space Wolves Blade Guard Veteran is courage. Almost like a rite of passage :)
I like it!
Great conversion and painting! Salamanders or White Scars would be rly cool
That would be cool!
Have you got a painting guide for this chap coming?
Tutorial on the axe would be nice, it looks insane ! Like real ice.
He looks brilliant! Like you I much prefer the Horus Heresy colour scheme
It's a shame that they decided to switch to the powder blue 🙁
Sorry if this is off topic but the gold on that space wolf is absolutely perfect. Just what I was looking for to paint my Carcharodons. Does anyone know the name of the paints used to create the Gold?

Awesome conversion!! Any chance we'll get a painting video for these guys some day?
I really enjoyed painting these guys so maybe!
@@PeteTheWargamer What's your formula for Heresy era Wolves? I too prefer that shade of angry thunderstorm grey.
The paint scheme is great! Perhaps you could put the basic colours here in the comment section.
Well, now I just need to get a SW terminator kit or two. Good video, really reassured me as I thought the shield would be way harder to switch out.
These were much easier than the DA ones.
@@PeteTheWargamer how is the sprue on the captain and lieutenant?
Please do a tutorial on painting that scheme ....
It's look really nice 😍😍😍 i wanna paint like that too.
