That's sick mate - surprised they haven't brought out more Primaris versions like this. Loads of random different Lieutenant variations etc but this is brilliant
That is such a cool finished product! I'm probably going to have to limit the amount of kits I use a bit, but the dream of a Primaris Kantor leading a squad of Sternguard seems pretty realistic now.
I would say that with the release of the recent kits, you could definitely reduce the amount of kits used and still get an awesome result. Thank you for the kind words. :)
OK I wish I'd watched this before doing my own Kantor, I'd have done a few things different. But I see we also did things very similar. We both used the same base model and Grey Knight Stormbolter. However I used some more newer kits, the power fist and pteruges came from the new multi-part Lieutenant with some etched brass fist symbols for details. For his left shoulder pad I used a MK3 one but trimmed the bottom rim flat and glued on a plastic wreath and another etched brass fist. I made a balls up of trying to recreate his classic backpack so ended up using a spare from some easy build reivers and glued on the original models banner. I decided Cawl would have upgraded the Arrow of Dorn and so just glued on an assault bolt rifle ammo clip to the side of the stormbolter. I had some spare bits from a duplicate Victrix Guard sprue and so added some extra armour plates to his hips. Then finished off with some reliques, tassles and a mk7 head with wreath just to make it match the original. I've just started painting him so he'll soon appear on my social medias if you'd like to see him.
I would like to follow up the kitbashing with the painting aspect also. At this moment in time I don't have the time. You never know in the future. Also, I could possibly provide a resource for the paint jobs, a small recipe guide or something. Thank you for thr suggestions and comment. 😊
Very nice conversion, I'd personally not have used the Aggressor shoulder pad. It's just a bit too large, but that's personal preference. There is only one character that sword could go to, and that's Gabriel Seth of the Flesh Tearers.
I have been wanting to kitbash my own Pedro Kantor. I think the new Lieutannt with a power fist will be a good base. The way to do Dorn's Arrow using the Grey Knights storm bolter and the Gravis Captain's boltstorm gauntlet is great.
He would be a great base. I did want to use him, but on ebay he was expensive and I didnt want to buy Augustus lol. Hope this has helped you somewhat. :)
I've been contemplating this for some time but using Captain Messinius instead as he already comes with an amazing powerfist but your work is incredible and so much more indepth
I actually thought of using Messinius also as I thougt it would be a good base too! I say go for it, it's always worth the try. Thank you for the kind words. :)
Thats a sweet conversion. That Primaris Captain is a really good base model for a lot of conversions. I got one in the conquest magazines a few years ago, finally breathed some life into it by turning it into a loyalist Iron Warrior Warsmith with some 3D printed bits. Though mine only used one Primaris Captain to make lol
I only have a few paints for a future crimson fists army, not really the right ones. Mephiston red instead of Khorne red, grey knights steel instead of leadbelcher, that kind of stuff. The way i figure it, as long as I have Kantor blue, im good to go!
Very true, but I think an old Finecast Resin model would be harder to source than a plastic model that is limited. Thank you for watching and for your comment. :)
Such a great video, how have I only just come across your content, would definitely like to see your painting process, can’t wait to hammer through the rest of your content, great stuff !
I do want to add the painting process to my videos. I take the most amount of the time painting out of all aspect of content creation, so I would want to make 100% sure that I do the painting right and in a sensible amount of time 😅. The algorithm a cruel mistress at times haha. Thank you for the kind words. 😊
@@WePaintMinis all I no is as a hobbyist and hobby content consumer Id watch the painting process no matter the length, but I’ll still watch and support your channel either way, like I said before great job !
I know the feeling lol. I always come up with more ideas whilst working on my personal projects. What special models have you kitbashed? Thank you for the kind words.
Ngl, watching the total annihilation of that lieutenant body without just carefuly saving both pieces with a knife cut was hella painful Yet you got some really nice kitbash in the end!
Haha, to be fair that is the most I have ever used. I was planning an Ezekiel one sometime myself. Would love to see yours. Thanks so much fo the comment!
Another good one. Be cool to see you do an Eisenhorn kit ash/conversion. Reading the series now and love the artwork but the models are all pretty lame.
Unfortunately I do not have that footage as I didn't record it. I am adding the painting process in my next video hopefully. I just didn't have the time initially. 😕 thank you though. I am improving everytime.
the only thing that i don't like is that hes primaris xd, for mine, i actually ended up using a blood angels head from the old upgrade sprew and took the blood angels iconography off. I used green stuff for his chest tassels and used toe captain in gravis armor body bc i prefer the pose over Tor's, and he looks more in line with his fellow brothers that way.
Everyone has a preference that is for sure. I personally don't think the gravis armour suits him, but have seen lots of cool version in gravis. Your one does sound cool.
@@WePaintMinis I was thinking art of the character too see exactly what your trying to copy, I know who Pedro is but I didn’t know exactly what he looked like off the top of my head! Awesome conversion and paint job tho
@@GamaniacMike14 I do put it up on the screen at the beginning, but that is a good idea. Maybe pop it up every now and again to refresh the old memory banks. Thank you for the kind words and the suggestion :)
Metal files are great to work on thick parts of plastic for sure. The sanding sticks give a little bit more flexibility and conform to the model better imo. Thanks once again and thank you for the support.
Nice conversion, and if you do want to make the next vid better... That blown out audio at the very end during the call to action? Yeah, don't do that again and next vid will be better. Also, to keep with the theme, maybe remaking Lysandre with the new Leviathan termies would be sick
Thank you! Next video is already out and doesn't have that audio blow out, hopefully that is better. I missed it in my editing. 😁 I would love to use the terminators for a kitbash, I am using my own leviathan for my army, but potentially in yhr future that's for sure. Thanks for the comment. 😊

The amount of kits is less shocking than the number of Primaris Captain kits there actually are! Great video
Haha, that is very true. I originally made a comment about that, cut it out. Probably should of kept it in. Thank you for the kind words.
nearly cut off my finger when at the end the very loud LIKE was said. besides the near amputation of a index finger the video was amazing 10/10.
Haha! I am sorry about that, so dodgy editing on my behalf there. Glad you enjoyed the video and even more happy that your finger is intact. 😅
That's sick mate - surprised they haven't brought out more Primaris versions like this. Loads of random different Lieutenant variations etc but this is brilliant
I would imagine that they will do in the future for sure. Thanks so much for the kind comment. :)

@@WePaintMinis Cheers! That was my impression, too.

Pedro Kantor never looked better!
Aw shucks. Thank you. I enjoyed the making him. ☺️
@@WePaintMinis that is visible!

All sounds very cool and I would absolutely love to see your interpretation.
Really cool conversion, I remain hopeful that GW actually make an updated model and kit... even if it's far down the pipe.
Fingers crossed for the fans out there, I am sure if they do, it would be a great model. Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Welcome back. Conversion and paint are super solid.
Thank you do much. Glad to be back. Just going to take my time with this.
Great video and a lovely kitbash.
I foresee a Gabriel Seth Kitbash in the future 😁
I think that is a safe bet haha. Thank you for the kind words
Love this! This could pass for an official GW model!
Thank you for the kind words!
I have now binged every conversion video on your channel. Love your stuff!
That is very kind of you. I really appreciate the support.
You've got such a clear and fantastic voice!! It never ceases to amaze me what folks can do with kitbashing 💪
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Great video. Really enjoyed seeing your kitbash process.
Would love to see your crimson fist painting process and recipe for the colours.

You are probably right about the shoulder pad. Gabriel Seth huh? *winks*. Thank you for the comment. 😊
Really cool kitbash! I'd really like to see the painting process, yes 😁
Thank you! Yep, this is the plan in the future. Fingers crossed. :)
This looks amazing! Great job, you did Pedro Kantor justice!
I am happy to read that. Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Beautiful conversion and a stunning paint job!
Thank you for the kind words! ☺

Your painting style is amazing. Would love to support your Patreon if painting torturials are included.
My next video will have how I painted the model at the tail-end, so definitely working it into my content. Thank you for the kind words. 😊
This captain kit would make a great Cato Sicarius with very little effort
It would indeed. I do feel he needs a little bit more flare though. Thank you for the comment. 😊
This is like watching someone win multiple bids on rare paintings, and then cut them up to make a collage for school.
But you watched it right? Thankfully most people enjoyed it and hopefully got something out of it. Thanks for the comment.
Two handed eviscerator can only be Seth from the Flesh Tearers
You got it! Hopefully I get round to doing something with him soon. Thank you for the comment. :)
@@WePaintMinis you got my sub today! I love conversion channels. I’m working on an orlock model GSC army as we speak.
@@Gorcyca that sounds ace! GSC work so well with a lot of models! Thank you for the kind words 🙏

somehow missed this vid when you released it; Crimson Fists are a top tier chapter and this is a great Pedro Kantor!
That's ok, glad you liked it. Thank you. 😊
What a solid kitbash! You could trick someone into thinking you got early access to an official update of Kantor with this
That is so nice of you to say. Makes me realise that I am heading in thr right direction. 😊
a primaris asteron moloc , i´d love to see that
Definitely on the list, need some more terminators. 😆
This is amazing! Your painting is as good as your bashing!!!
I am glad you like it, thank you for the kind words. :)
The new terminator librarian storm bolter would have been so much more fitting now... excellent conversion all the same though!
Yeah, that would of been great. I do want to do some Terminator kitbashes, but need some spare ones to use. Thank you 😁
That looks so good bro!
Thank you so much. I am glad you like it 😊
Looove it. As a life long fan of Pedro Kantor

Fantastic job- really captures the soul of the old sculpt. Beautiful paint job, also. Subscribed!
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the kind words.
great conversion, didn't like this Volume Jumpscare at 10:37 though, Jeez RIP my speakers
Apologies for that, first video back from a while ago and little rough around the edges. Thank you!

I am sure you will be absolutely fine with what you have. 🙂
Love the tutorial but when you say previous tutorial might be hard due to lack of parts availability, then use a limited lieutenant... well :P
Very true, but I think an old Finecast Resin model would be harder to source than a plastic model that is limited. Thank you for watching and for your comment. :)

Looks great conversation are my favorite part of the hobby
They can make a model so unique. They look great on the table top.
Well done, great attention to detail! I have a HUUUUGE backlog to paint, but I keep buying and building and kitbashing unique and special models :)
I know the feeling lol. I always come up with more ideas whilst working on my personal projects. What special models have you kitbashed? Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you! :)

Plastic crack addict here haha. Thank you. 😊
great work! And I thought I used a lot of kits in my primaris Ezekiel - but you've got me beat! :)

Great Pedro Kantor!
Thank you so much 😊
Great kitbash, gonna try it myself

Awesome job, my man! 👍🏻
Thank you so much, glad you like it. 😁

awesome kitbash!
Thanks so much, glad you like it.
SO CRISP. Love it. Looks so awesome! Earned a sub
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. 💛
So good!
Thank you so much!
Posting from a bit into the future, but for the backpack with the banner, would you say the bits from the newer Sternguard kit would also suffice?
Most definitely. They hadn't been released when this was done. I would definitely use that instead if I was to do this again.
@@WePaintMinis I know they hadn’t been out yet, I just wanted your opinion as the maker of the kitbash. Thanks mate. :)
@@lordofinnistrad8757 most definitely a great alternative and probably an even better one imo. No problem. 😁
The two handed chain sword is I'm guessing your take on Gabriel seth of the flesh tearers
You got it! Definitely a model I would love to tackle soon. Thanks for the comment 😊
Looks fantastic! I think you should have kept the classic MK7 helmet though
If I had one, then I probably would of. Would of been nice to mix that up. Thanks for the comment. 😊
Another good one.
Be cool to see you do an Eisenhorn kit ash/conversion. Reading the series now and love the artwork but the models are all pretty lame.
He had a new model recently, but I believe it was in resin, so that is a good shout. Thank you.
@@WePaintMinis ive yet to see an Eisenhorn model that does him justice. I’d really like to see you do one still.

Unfortunately I do not have that footage as I didn't record it. I am adding the painting process in my next video hopefully. I just didn't have the time initially. 😕 thank you though. I am improving everytime.
Who was the pther model you referenced for the loincloth? Also, you can use Captain Messian?(the white consuls model) for a right handed power fist
It was the Primaris Captian that is in the thumbnail. You most definitely can use Messian if you wish, I just didn't have the model at the time.
@@WePaintMinis sorry I mean the tassels, or whatever they're called. The 1s you got from the model that you got from a convention
@@TheDeadPoolfan ahh I see. It was lieutenant Amulius.

So you definitely prefer sanding sticks over a dedicated set of files? Just curious as to why? .. again I love your videos!
Metal files are great to work on thick parts of plastic for sure. The sanding sticks give a little bit more flexibility and conform to the model better imo. Thanks once again and thank you for the support.
@@WePaintMinis Makes sense and now I'm going to purchase some and try them out! Give my Tamiya file set a breather.
Oh... I used the Tor Garadon for my Primaris Pedro
I have seen him used yeah, it's a cool kitbash that's for sure. 😊
2:18 I mean…you could have made those with strips of masking tape…or pieces of cereal boxes cut down, or plasticard…
I most definitely could have. I chose to go down this route as I wasn't confident enough to replicate it in a way I would be happy with.
Nice conversion, and if you do want to make the next vid better... That blown out audio at the very end during the call to action? Yeah, don't do that again and next vid will be better.
Also, to keep with the theme, maybe remaking Lysandre with the new Leviathan termies would be sick
