I always thought those new Stormcasts would made great Custodes in alternative armour maybe an "archaic" suit of armour. They look great as marines too.
Hey, awesome!! I had some left over Stormcast from a different conversion, and ended up turning them into some Jump Pack equipped Assault Marines. Because of the different armour, I decided to run them as Vanguard Veterans, and thinking I might extend the alternate arour to all my non-Terminator Veteran infantry.
Cheers! That's sounds, really cool! It should give the army a unique look and be fun to stand out. Plus, there are tons of opportunities for extra homebrew lore for your chapter too.
This is a brilliant idea. I don’t have any Stormcast because I’ve never bought any AoS, but this kind of makes me want to pick some up from eBay to try out!
@@magnusmillerwilson Connecting the Power/Jump Packs was the trickiest part for me. I ended up using about 5mm of sprue on the back. Does require some patience, especially with the massive gap that GW Jump pack have for a connection point.
DUDE! This conversion is amazing! I have a lot of Stormcast models and I thought it would be cool to have the Hammers of Sigmar evolve into the Celestial Lions Chapter of the Space Marines. Now I can't help but notice how easy it would be to take a female stormcast model and convert it into a Battle Sister for an Adepta Sororitas army. Thanks for your talent and inspiration.
@@AnotherDayMiniatures Yeah, man! That would be awesome. I'm working on a conversion now. I'm not the fastest or best kit-basher in the world, but your videos got my creativity going.
Speed is something that comes with just making too many of of them, all that matters is having a great time making them. Always a joy to hear these videos don't just entertain but inspire to make cool stuff :D
Me after just trudging through heavy rain to get bits from my shed for another project then seeing this video: *sigh* back into the rain for Sigmarine bits. Great job, man. I really like the video layout. Made the kitbash seem as simple as it should be and nailed the paint job.
I havent been able to play 40k since 8th and ive decided i want a black templars army but i want it to be my best painted and converted army primarily using mkIII marines. I think i just found the perfect paint scheme. Thank you so much
damn. making spacemarines with stromcast looks awesome. that paint job is also super well executed, i especially like the head and flames. i'm not too amazed by the look of the purity seals. on account of the fish scales, maybe you could paint them a very dark metalic black
Cheers, mate! The head turned out better than I expected, given how relatively fast it was. Yeah, the purity seals did come off a bit flat in the end 😄. I'm planning to do something similar and use the AP Grimblack wash over it. It should darken it down to a near black metal.
0:56 hey brother man!! Heat gun!! Getr got and all the plastic becomes pliable…then you can repose. Works magic on capes, tabards, tentacles, fingers, arms etc
Thank you! Kitbashing is tons of fun but can be a bit daunting, especially with how expensive many of these models are. The best advice I can think of is to start small: add a few pouches, replace a few hands. The important part is to measure twice and cut once. 😄 Above all, have fun with it and make what you think looks cool.
Ive always liked the idea of kitbasing modern scale Grey knights from stormcast. Vigilors and a few other kits have the robes and capes, then the Anniliators for terminators....and of course Bastian.
I absolutely love this conversion and paint job (and it's light years beyond anything I can do!), but I have to say this one thing: Fire isn't brightest at the tips of the flames - it's actually brightest at the base of the flames, with the colours getting progressively darker towards the tips. If the flames had been painted with white at the base, moving through orange to dark red at the very tips, this would be even more amazing!
@@AnotherDayMiniatures Yeah that would work and using his skills teaching the new guys So that way they could become the most successful version of themselves they can be For themselves and their chapter cough cough Legion And for the emperor Plus he could be one of those Marines who didn't get super bulky thanks to the augmentation And he has a niche for being sneaky All possible things just for your little guys lore
Ye, I always found that part of the lore very interesting. Even with all that biomancy, Space Marines still vary in size so much. The ideas are great. Cheers!
I don't know why, but this gives me Dune vibes, or at the very least how I envisioned House Atriedes soldiers to look like. Great work btw, I might grab a free Stormcast at a local GW store and make one of these on my own.
Pleasure to hear :) I had a similar idea for making a few space marines in that theme. I can never stick to one project for too long, too many awesome things to paint.
Cheers! Unfortunately, my lack of scripts leads to that. I tend to freestyle everything, but I'm glad the improvements are noticeable. I've started re-recording parts to eliminate repetitive words, with 'decided' being the biggest offender at the moment. 🤣
Thank you! It's Silver Brush 3000S-4 Black Velvet, it's technically a water color brush but somehow ended up being my favorite brush after trying out all the other popular choices.
@@AnotherDayMiniaturesI’m definitely going to look into getting a brush like that because all my cheap Amazon brushes never retain a good point and I need a solid one for getting tiny details like yours lol
It's decent, but like all brushes, it wears down with time. I usually use the #4 for as much of the model as I can, and only then move down to the #2 and #0. They would probably last even longer if I took proper care of them, but I often forget that I left paint on them 😅
@@AnotherDayMiniatures LoL nobody is perfect, plus it’s more about making the models something we can be happy with rather than making brushes last longer
Those are really fantastic, unfortunately a bit harder to find nowadays. I have a few Sequitors, but they are push to fit, and the idea of trying to separate some of the fused pieces is nightmare fuel :D.
tbh I think kit bashing Stormcast and space marines/chaos space marines into Alpha Legion could be sick, nice way to get the scales that Alpha Legion is known for:)
That's awesome, stormcasts releases are basically a range refresh for Blood Angels 😄. Did you use the old power packs or go with the stormcast prosecutors wings ?
doing a contrast black over the scale mail could improve that if you arent happy with it. It does kind of pop and draw the eye away from the rest of the focus area (his head and the fire)
As soon as I saw that (awesome) conversion it made me wonder « what else are stormcasts being converted into ». I’ve been disappointed to see no sister of battle, let alone sister of silence, conversion, that seems to be a good fit too though, no ?
@nathanjora7627 No promises, but the idea is fantastic. Something I'll most likely circle round to eventually. Yeah the cost of the hobby is quite brutal, and somehow gets even more expensive each year.
No idea, but one day, I hope. 😅 I made one version of an Intercessor for it but never got to finishing it, sadly. I was just recently looking at that Terminator, thinking of revisiting it. Unfortunately, I get sidetracked like a Labrador at a ball factory.
Awesome! I was thinking of using my 2nd Ed. Stormcast Eternals since I've heard they are being dropped by GW. Either making some Dark Angels, Black Templar or a new clergy based faction.
Yeah that whole thing is still a bit of a shock as most of my painted stormcasts were all the original design. You could also use them now in the Inquisitorial army, they would be a great match for that theme.
I used stormcast eternal preators as my grey knight interceptors. Resin hooded heads. Proper backpacks and convertedthe axes i to halberds. Look much more stealthy.
Can't tell if the right arm didn't get a shoulder pad, or has a phobos style tiny one. Model looks a little unbalanced up top... Paint job is pretty darn impressive though
I strongly theorise the Stormcasts were formerly the Second and Eleventh SM Legions psychically banished by the Emperor of Man to a complete alternative universe, IE AoS, and as time evolved, their technology devolved so they could fit in.
He looks like a Primaris Thunder Warrior. Good job
Cheers!
He looks like an inquisitor in 40k. Always wanted to see someone kitbash stormcast into 40k. Thanks.
cheers!
stormcast armor do really nice inquisitor power armor
I always thought those new Stormcasts would made great Custodes in alternative armour maybe an "archaic" suit of armour. They look great as marines too.
The Stormcast Annihilators would be a great match for that too, they're much bigger and closer in scale to Custodes.
fire is whiter on its base and goes to orange then red and finally black/smoke. try it on your next one, its a way more convincing fire effect.
Nice. I am thinkig of trying to use it as a dark angle model with the knightly aesthetics
Should look awesome. Black Templars, Blood Angels and Dark Angels seem like a great fir for these models.
My dark angel army is done like this, and it works great.
@@kristopherhuffman8746 A whole army ? That sounds incredible, and impressive.
I was thinking the same thing! Black Templar and Dark Angels would work really well.
Acute or obtuse?
Hey, awesome!!

Cheers! Best of luck in your kitbashing
When this guy drops something and bends over to pick it up hes going to have a very hot reminder about his fashion choices
DUDE! This conversion is amazing! I have a lot of Stormcast models and I thought it would be cool to have the Hammers of Sigmar evolve into the Celestial Lions Chapter of the Space Marines.
Now I can't help but notice how easy it would be to take a female stormcast model and convert it into a Battle Sister for an Adepta Sororitas army.

Hell yeah mate! Always great to hear.
Another great conversion someone mentioned was turning the female stormcast into a sister of silence.

Love seeing your work man, always a highlight, and chock full.of ideas and hints
Cheers! 😃
It’s about time someone made a video like this! There aren’t enough stormcast to 40k conversions!
I think Blood Angels would have done this model more justice
I havent been able to play 40k since 8th and ive decided i want a black templars army but i want it to be my best painted and converted army primarily using mkIII marines. I think i just found the perfect paint scheme. Thank you so much
Glad the color scheme was interesting enough, cheers mate! :D

this is awesome bud. Stormcast is always fun to convert into space man
Cheers mate! They really are.
Outstanding OSL effects - very well done!! Thought - Black chrome on the chain mail skirt/codpiece would have been a slick detail.
Thank you! Yeah, the gunmetal just didn't work. I might try going over it with a dark speed paint to give it something similar to that.
0:56 hey brother man!! Heat gun!! Getr got and all the plastic becomes pliable…then you can repose. Works magic on capes, tabards, tentacles, fingers, arms etc
I'll look into it, thanks!
The final results makes me think a lot of Darkest Dungeon aesthetic, good job! Grim dark at it's best!
With all the lion symbols they have, I make them celestial lions
Looks awesome my man.... now I want to explore a kitbash for my Sanguinary Guard!
Thanks! Yeah, they make awesome blood angels too.
Great work! I haven’t had the courage to kitbash/sculpt yet (new painter), but your videos are inspiring me to take the plunge!
Thank you! Kitbashing is tons of fun but can be a bit daunting, especially with how expensive many of these models are.

I actually have made a phobos lieutenant out of a stormcast. He looks dope
Nice
Love the idea. Nicely done!
Thanks!
This looks fantastic. He gives me the vibe of an Astartes who is in service to an Inquisitor and has some special armor to help with the task.
Nice idea ! ! That could make a cool crusader also for the sister of battle or even a Inquisitor in powerarmor :D
specially with that angry look :p=
Cheers! Yeah, I had a very similar thought. There's something incredibly inquisitorial about the aesthetic.
Excellent work, especially on the fire/light effects.
Thank you! Shame I didn't notice the fire was inside out 😄

Cheers :D
neat video, I've been thinking of doing a similar kit bash. glad to see it works
Looks like a Templar scout to me! ❤
It does have a bit of that with how light the armor looks. He does tower over the new scouts by a whole head, a very tall, slender scout 😄
I absolutely love this conversion and paint job (and it's light years beyond anything I can do!), but I have to say this one thing:
Fire isn't brightest at the tips of the flames - it's actually brightest at the base of the flames, with the colours getting progressively darker towards the tips. If the flames had been painted with white at the base, moving through orange to dark red at the very tips, this would be even more amazing!
He's kind of like a scout almost with how light his armour looks
Could be one of those veterans who stay with the scouts despite "graduating" into full SM. Similar to Space Wolves.
@@AnotherDayMiniatures Yeah that would work and using his skills teaching the new guys So that way they could become the most successful version of themselves they can be For themselves and their chapter cough cough Legion And for the emperor

I think it's probably the more elegant design of their armor and good posture. Cheers! and yeah if you can get your hands on one, it's a fun project.
Although the kitbash looks amazing I am disappointed it wasn't an actual angry marine
Cheeers. I can see the confusion....didn't think of it at the time 😅
@@AnotherDayMiniatures it's all good just hope you eventually kitbash an angry marine
@@AnotherDayMiniatures it's all good I just hope you eventually kitbash an actual angry marine
It would be quite amusing 😄
I have wanted to do this since the first day I saw them.
😄 Yeah, makes me think the intent behind their design was basically "Fantasy Space Marines".
i would recommend scouts bits for stormcast conversions, yeah they have exposed skin but the scale is honestly great
I think I have a few extra from the crusader kit, I'll give it a try.
always love your kitbashes, could totally do a knight errant kind of templar, i know you love your scavengers
Pleasure to hear :) I had a similar idea for making a few space marines in that theme. I can never stick to one project for too long, too many awesome things to paint.
Dang I really like your black armor paint job!
Thanks!
Excellent video! I really liked the script on this one... significantly less repeated words like "actually". Fantastic painting, effects, and shots.

Enjoyed it - more!
😃
That artstyle brings Darkest Dungeon to mind, i'm a fan now
Great job! Only feedback is to make the white part of the flame at the base/center where it’s hottest, not at the tips.
Cheers! and yeah I accidentally made an inside out flame :D
Model looks awesome! OSL looked really cool 👌I’m curious what brush you were using?

"Too hot, even for salamanders" laughs in actual braziers and ritualistic burning with volcanoes.
Great video! I like to use the older fat sigmarines from 1st or 2nd ed for conversion. I feel they fit the aesthetic better.
Those are really fantastic, unfortunately a bit harder to find nowadays. I have a few Sequitors, but they are push to fit, and the idea of trying to separate some of the fused pieces is nightmare fuel :D.

@@AnotherDayMiniatures It is important that you like it :)
I've made a 10 man sanguinary guard unit from these stormcast
That's awesome, stormcasts releases are basically a range refresh for Blood Angels 😄. Did you use the old power packs or go with the stormcast prosecutors wings ?
@@AnotherDayMiniatures I used the old sang guard ones with feathery wings
Nice! I love the old style of a massive barrel looking 'engine' too.
Awesome!

awesome
Thanks!
Really nice job! Though the flames bug me, as the hottest points are at the centre of the flame, not the tips 🔥
doing a contrast black over the scale mail could improve that if you arent happy with it. It does kind of pop and draw the eye away from the rest of the focus area (his head and the fire)
Had a similar thought about it dragging the attention away. I'll have to post an update to the community tab, sometime.
The mini looks cool but isn't the flame inverted? Flames are normally darkest closer to the outer edge. 🤩
Yep, reverse space flame 😄

Green Stuff World Metal Pigment Gold. Welcome to the hobby mate
The stormcast model in the thumbnail would be perfect for creating a Doctor Who style Cyberman..

Metal as Hell
Hell yea!
One of the mics conversions IV seen and I'm big on convert work ..it's a big issue I have near every model I attack ends up converted 🤣
Cheers mate. It's tons of fun to do it.
Classic conversion
😄 thanks
Esta idea merece como mínimo ... pintar todo un escuadrón de kill team 😎
Quizás... ¡se vería increíble! 😄
It's fair to say the sigmar dudes are like space marines out of there armour
Visually, it does seem that way.
ALWAYS ANGRY ALL THE--
Wait.
Yeah...didn't realize the confusion might occur 😅
Fire is hottest (light) in the interior bits and cold (darker) on the outside...
*checks pda angrily*
(Serious though, great painting)
He forgot his password again 😄 Thanks!
They were nicknamed "Sigmarines" ever since they first came up.
Wow
😃
I feel stormcast make great slaanesh CSM
That's a cool idea. There is an interesting elegance to them that could match that theme.
Great job. If you're keen on stormcast > space marine kitbashes mrzigmond does some epic ‘long scale’ marines
Cheers! I'll try and take a look sometime.
He’s awesome looking! Even though I’m personally not a fan of the legs. A little too medieval looking for my subjective taste.
Can't tell if the right arm didn't get a shoulder pad, or has a phobos style tiny one. Model looks a little unbalanced up top... Paint job is pretty darn impressive though
The Phobos arm is indeed much smaller, as it's meant to be a more agile/tactical mark of armor.
His face kinda looks like that guy from Modern Warfare 3
Captain Price ? 🤣 It's haunting, now I'll never unsee it.
I strongly theorise the Stormcasts were formerly the Second and Eleventh SM Legions psychically banished by the Emperor of Man to a complete alternative universe, IE AoS, and as time evolved, their technology devolved so they could fit in.
That could be some fun homebrew for a Space Marine themed AoS army.
Why just one
Yes
Did your flame colour wrong way round hottest is at bottom never top
Reverse space flame ;)
mottling
Was not familiar with that term....both interesting and disturbing. 😅
Stormcast>spece marighn
a black templar using a gun not a sword?! tf
You might be thinking of Knights Templar mate 😄
🔥⚔️✠💀✠⚔️🔥
🤘
dog that's not how flame works. It's brightest at the center of the flame and gets more orange toward the extremeties
Hmmmm.... Better suited for Chaos.
The body is for me too medival. It did not catch me.
All you have to do is give it a backpack, they're Ground Marines for a reason
Storm cast legs are far too thin and sleek compared to space marines. Just doesn't work at all.
i love tennis so much!!
