Name and lore suggestion: "Ruinwalker" piloted by a "Weldmaster". Weldmasters are those among the Skavyn (space skaven) who are particularly adept in the relm of the mechanical. Their heighten technical ability only seems to enhance their destructive nature however, as weldmasters cannot help but create powerful and unstable engines of war to unleash on their enemies. The ruinwalker is the latest example of engineering madness to come from the minds of the weldmasters. Little more than a scrap husk built around a core of refined warpstone, the ruinwalker is capable of disintegrating anything its weapons are able to hit. Even disabling the vehicle cannot prevent further destruction, as when it falls to the ground and the hull inevitably cracks, warpfire will spill from the husk for sometime, eradicating friend and foe indiscriminately and leaving the area around irreversibly barren and corrupted hundreds of years
"The Skavyn are, perhaps, the most insidious foe Mankind has to encounter. They dwell in the dark, squalid, decrepit places, among the refuse and despair of the Imperium's war machine factories. The Under Empire watches the works of the Emperor with spiteful jealousy, plotting civilization's downfall in a prophesized day of reckoning that their grotesque kind calls the Vermin Tide. Yet, despite being of the Warp, they share little cause with the forces of the Despoiler, often facing Abbadon's Black Legion in battle as often as Imperial troops. Their origins are unknown, with disparate reports, tall tales, and myths about man-sized rats stretching back as far as the Great Crusade. Thanks to the efforts of the Inquisition, the truth may never be fully known." Your comment inspired some lore

More Space Rats PLEASE! I'm currently working and struggling to put together a 40k Skaven army and would love more Space Rat builds from the guy who inspired to start one in the first place 🐀
I'm interested in doing something similar, what rules would you use for them? I'm wondering if maybe admech would be a good fit, given their weird and whacky looking contraptions but i really dont know what would fit the idea of skaven while still being valid rules in 40k.
[SUGGESTION] I loved your "How to kitbash every legion" series and I thought it would be cool to see an allegiance swap video series where you do traitor versions of all the loyalist legions and vice versa for the traitors.
@richarddixon1450 this is a cool idea, i think an SM conversion out of those red vampire armor models would be cool. You could also use the armor for a Reaver Jetbike Drukhari conversion.
Day one of 2023 and Christmas came early this year. Space skavens are my favorite kitbashing you make. You made me start my own Space skaven army called Cheesestealer Cult. Looking forward what more work you come up for in 2023 . Happy new year!
These strange walking tanks were originally dubbed 'monster balls' due to their large size and spherical shape, but due to a communications disruption over an unreliable vox trasmitter, the Administratum erroneously misrecorded the transmission of one, Private Willard Hamm, thus listing the name of these unusual, ramshackle war machines as 'Hamm'Ster Balls'. It's probably just as well, to be honest, given that 'monster balls' makes it sound like the ratmen possess unusually large testicles (Which many admittedly rodents do, but it has yet to be observed in the mutant specimens piloting these vehicles).
Please more Space Skaven! Your kitbashes are amazing and a serious source of inspiration. Not only the crafting, but the painting too, I love you style. Keep up the amazing work!
Hey Pete! I think it would be really awesome for you to start the year by showcasing all the conversions you have kept over the years in one video. I think a lot of people would be interested and are itching to see the great collection you’ve amassed so far.
More Space Skaven please. I have always had a special place in my shriveled, warpstone corrupted heart for the children of the Horned Rat, and it is great to see they made to the 40th millennium. I squirt the musk of approval in your general direction.
I love everything about this. The Space Skaven. The great kitbash. The crisp glow effect. It's all good-nice, yes yes. For those looking for opportunities to run Space Skaven, know that One Page Rules has an army list for Ratman Clans in Grimdark Future. Though you might need to take the Dunecrawler equivalent stat line from the "Machine Cult" list, if you want to run this bad boy.
While I have no dream of playing a space rat army it's always great to see what kind of ideas you come up with. I'm still hoping you are gonna make a Nurgle themed Sister of Battle. The first two chaos gods were great.
The Order of the Eternal Weeping? The name sounds like they're crying in sorrow, but in reality, their wounds constantly release foul discharge. And then he needs to make the Order of Our Unwavering Truth, which definitely isn't Tzeetchian.
See, this is how you open up a new year with a bang! I love how you used the Votann for the body, I'm definitely going to use that as an idea for conversions of my own!
Pete the Passive Voice User. You’ve got one of the most soothing voices in all the hobby, and your tutorials are fantastic! Thanks for inspiring so many wacky, interesting projects for the average hobbyist to copy and draw inspiration from! Happy new year
"Everbrood", drawing from main clans of skaven (mainly Moulder, Pestilence, and Skryre), is the inventention that makes use of infamous Brood Horrors. Since Great Horned Rat hates waste, it ordered its children to construct this walking timebomb: this walking turret houses several Brood Horrors forced inside and, as they devour each other and regrow, the plague slowly builds up. Eventually, as the haul starts to crack, skaven park it somewhere and run off before the whole thing explodes and releases the Dark Plague that looks like a tide of vermin. Dunno, feels like something skaven would do, they are wacky like that.
I would really recommend putting some tank modelers/painters youtube videos on your watch later before painting another armored vehicle. Your FANTASTIC at painting stuff that would be impossible for armored modelers like cloth, but you then apply these techniques to heavy armor and bolts and it looks a little funky lol. maybe [painting like that could be a New Year's Resolution?
I love that despite having to operate inside of what I imagine is a cramped tank the commanders ego still demands that he wear a large headcrest to prove his superiority.
Amazing build! I love the look of the promethium tank. Feature builds? Perhaps a combat patrol. 1 hq, 1 troop, 1 fast and 1 heavy. Keep fun though. Rules? A Scion with grenade launcher, a dune strider. Mix Liste.
You see, I personally am making a Leagues of Vrrtkin army (A Skaven/Votann kitbash army, Vrrtkin is a clan that is focused on Poison Wind Globidiers), and seeing this, I want to make it. I don’t know what rules I would use, probably making it a Necromunda thing and buy into the Squat Prospectors and do the exact same, but have them based around a different clan. I don’t know. No matter what, seeing you make Space Skaven with Votann while I myself am doing the same, it brings joy to my heart. Great conversion.
Love to see your continued Space Skaven work. It'd be cool to see your take on a leader for this faction, like a sci-fi conversion of Thanquol and Boneripper or one of the Verminlords.
Doomcrawler gets my vote for the name. A nod to both the Skaven Doom Wheel and the Dune Crawler the conversion is based around. Great video and conversion Pete. Wish you the best for 2023.
That glow effect is ACTUALLY insane. Good god man. Just when I think you can't outdo yourself anymore, you go and prove me wrong. Bravo! In regards to whatever space skaven stuff you might do next, why not some more body horror monster stuff? You've done this as an homage to the Clan Skyre side of Skaven, but what kind of abominations would Clan *Moulder* make in the 41st Millennium? 🤔
Come on! Here I am kitbashing a Kaldor Drago (the fine cast I got is terrible) and you drop this beautiful bastard. Hell yeah! Keep going with rats in space! Happy new year!
Great build! I would love to see your take on a 40k version of the Doom Wheel or the Doom Bell (or both). They are both so iconic I couldn't imagine Skaven not having them, not even in space.
I'd call it the spy-pyder stalker, it's a fast attack that specialises in disruption in its speed and ability to fire it's anti infantry flamer, or overload in the true skaven way and fire an anti tank barrage of flames
Thank you for great videos in 2022 with much inspiration, a happy new year, and I'm truly looking forward what you're going to present in 2023. All the best!
Just got into W40K again after a long break and your videos have been great inspiration! I bought Blood Angels and I'm thinking about playing Flesh Tearers, I would love to see you update the Gabriel Seth model to modern standards such as a Primaries version! Either way love the work on the space skaven and have a happy new year!
I did enjoy the space Scaven concept. The model looked brilliant. An idea for a concept would be a Necromunda Brats gang. 40k Rich kids armed to the teeth. They remind of the gangs from the Purge movie.
This mech is awesome! Please do more space Skaven ^^ I’m currently working on a space rat army using the votann box and this video really motivated me to keep working on the project and gave me some ideas how to make the models a bit more unique compared to the actual votann :)
Love this. The vehicle is great, but using Hearthkyn for Space Skaven worked so much better than I'd have expected. I'd love to see more infantry conversions, maybe also incorporating the Hearthguard and Cthonian Beserks.
An interesting fact until the early 90s there was at least 1 space skaven in the warhammer 40k universe. I don't remember all the details because I heard about it a long time ago, but as far as I can tell this skaven was a companion of the radical Inquisitor (if I'm not mistaken) who arrived on a planet that was cut off from the rest of the Imperium by a strong Warp storm. There were a whole bunch of different factions on this planet (Orcs, humans, Eldar, etc.) that coexisted in the +- peace. There are also official sketch of this space skaven (It looks like it was drawn by the same person who was responsible for the sketches of the Imperial Navy crew).
This is what I love about you, Pete. You are so obviously starved for content, having already done all the obvious videos, but instead of giving up, you instead pull something absolutely insane from nowhere, and against all odds, you manage to make it so good. Space Skaven? That's ridiculous. But it still looks absolutely amazing. I most definetely approve.
Looks like a big tank full of little skaven dudes. Big rule should be something akin to a skaven unit spawn or transport, however it only releases the swarm upon death or smth
Since the drukhari grotesque models have been added to the model rotation would u consider making a conversion of it ? Or any other drukhari finecast model?
I would love to see some heresy era death guard conversions. Plus I would highly recommend submitting some of your conversions to white dwarf as I am sure they'll get in.
This is definitely motivating for me. My New Years goal was to assemble and paint all I have before purchasing new hobby. Day one of new year so far so good lol!
I really enjoy this. I've seen a handful of Skaven 40K kitbashes and love everyone I see. Something that always gets me though with them... is they're basically treated like GSC or AdMech. And that's cool, and would be prolly the best rules to use for them in game, but I'd love to see someone add the chaos flare in there that the Skaven have in AoS/WHFB.
I might be inclined to go the other way. What is the Imperium, after all, if not a mirror of the Skaven? Even down to its various internal factions. Imagine Skaven Guard.
A war over a forgeworld with space skaven against the Adeptus mechanicus would be funny to see. Specially with the space skaven harvesting and reusing the left over tech from the battles to make more and more crazy and deadly machines. Drawing the Ire and Curiousity of the tech priests...
That would actually be a really interesting dynamic. On one side you have an intellectually backwards society of technology fetishists who do everything they can to stifle innovation and original thought facing up against an incredibly forward thinking and technologically advanced culture hobbled by the fact that they're basically Space Libertarians (constantly competing with one another instead of working together, total disregard for health and safety, lack of quality control due to constant pressure to get products out before competitors and lack of consequences from killing, maiming or poisoning customers with defective and/or completely irresponsible products, being wasteful and destructive to the local environment in a way that somehow exceeds the environmental devastation wrought by long-established human and ork colonies in only a fraction of the time, functionally no public services or centralised utilities, etc.) I would legitimately love to see a story from black library where the AdMech encounter an entire species of mad scientists and silicon valley tech bros who are perpetually waist deep in their own excrement and might actually be capable of becoming the dominant species of the galaxy if they weren't so utterly useless at cooperation.

Maybe Check out Mortian Tank, he has Space Skaven
Veer-myn line from Mantic Games also has some wonderful stuff... I play Space Rates in GDF
Have had a build in my head for a while now.
Skaven Mech Rat Ogres.
use necromunda ambots and replace the heads with skaven ones.
They're called the Veer-myn/Cheesestealers, and they've been around for a decade in Mantic product lines and patreon funded STLs from ThatEvilOne.

Loving the space skaven dude!
I've a friend who can't find a 40k army so I am trying to make skaven in 40k. You are truly inspiring
this is awesome! looks like some kind of command hub...the brains of the operation! lots of buffs coming from this unit.
Fantastic work as usual. Absolutely love this build!
Glad to hear it!
I honestly really like your Skaven stuff, it's a delight every time I see one. Something about their odd styling is just consistently enjoyable
DOOMRIDER! DOOMRIDER! DOOMRIDER!
Space skaven kill team. The leagues of votann bodies is a great idea for kitbash skaven! Great work!
Those glow effects are awesome!
Also PLEASE DO A WHOLE SERIES OF SPACE SKAVEN!!!
happy you went back to the Skaven my friend
all roads lead to Skavenblight, my friend
Awesome execution!!! Love the Skaven head :) More Space Skaven! Call them Starrats!
Not only are you great at kitbashing but you're an amazing painter. I love your style and your videos are super inspiring.
Kitbashing, Skaven, and Space. The three words that get me hooked instantly.
I would like to see more troop builds that are budget friendly. Getting a Kill Team or even a combat patrol would be a fun new year project.
I love that despite having to operate inside of what I imagine is a cramped tank the commanders ego still demands that he wear a large headcrest to prove his superiority.

Skaven Hellball! Great work!
You see, I personally am making a Leagues of Vrrtkin army (A Skaven/Votann kitbash army, Vrrtkin is a clan that is focused on Poison Wind Globidiers), and seeing this, I want to make it. I don’t know what rules I would use, probably making it a Necromunda thing and buy into the Squat Prospectors and do the exact same, but have them based around a different clan. I don’t know.

That is utterly superb
New sentinel kit looks Great.
I prefer the Genestear aesthetic for space skaven but this is still really cool! Would love to see more space Skaven!
I have never done kitbashing or modding of any kind. But boy oh boy do I enjoy your videos :-)
By the way the tips of your brushes *chefs kiss*
I think it'd be awesome to see more mechs
Love to see your continued Space Skaven work. It'd be cool to see your take on a leader for this faction, like a sci-fi conversion of Thanquol and Boneripper or one of the Verminlords.
MORE Space Skaven! Yes! Yes!

I wish to consume more space skaven content
A very good kitbashing, inspiring, thank you ☺
Man, your vids are so therapeutic. I also picked up quite a few techniques to use in my own conversions as well. Keep up the good work!
Although skaven already have their own “flesh mechs” I love the idea of a Skaven warlord having one of these
That old video inspired me to make a killteam from sotrmvermin and genestealer cultist and a few third party bits it was a really fun build
We need more of these
Great build! I would love to see your take on a 40k version of the Doom Wheel or the Doom Bell (or both). They are both so iconic I couldn't imagine Skaven not having them, not even in space.

You are so obviously starved for content, having already done all the obvious videos, but instead of giving up, you instead pull something absolutely insane from nowhere, and against all odds, you manage to make it so good. Space Skaven? That's ridiculous. But it still looks absolutely amazing.
I most definetely approve.
I’m all in on space skaven. I’d love to see more of these guys
Love it mate.
Another amazing conversion 🤩
All I can say is love this and want to see more space Skaven!!
I don’t know much about warhammer, but I think the shaven and mechanicus have a similar “we want crazy tech, no matter the consequences!” Style.
Looks like a big tank full of little skaven dudes. Big rule should be something akin to a skaven unit spawn or transport, however it only releases the swarm upon death or smth
Since the drukhari grotesque models have been added to the model rotation would u consider making a conversion of it ? Or any other drukhari finecast model?
The Vargheist/crypt horror kit from the Flesh-Eater court range would be a good base for grotesque conversions I think.
I would love to see some heresy era death guard conversions. Plus I would highly recommend submitting some of your conversions to white dwarf as I am sure they'll get in.
This is definitely motivating for me. My New Years goal was to assemble and paint all I have before purchasing new hobby. Day one of new year so far so good lol!
Would love to see more space skaven
I really enjoy this. I've seen a handful of Skaven 40K kitbashes and love everyone I see.
Something that always gets me though with them... is they're basically treated like GSC or AdMech. And that's cool, and would be prolly the best rules to use for them in game, but I'd love to see someone add the chaos flare in there that the Skaven have in AoS/WHFB.
I might be inclined to go the other way. What is the Imperium, after all, if not a mirror of the Skaven? Even down to its various internal factions. Imagine Skaven Guard.
A war over a forgeworld with space skaven against the Adeptus mechanicus would be funny to see. Specially with the space skaven harvesting and reusing the left over tech from the battles to make more and more crazy and deadly machines. Drawing the Ire and Curiousity of the tech priests...
That would actually be a really interesting dynamic.
On one side you have an intellectually backwards society of technology fetishists who do everything they can to stifle innovation and original thought facing up against an incredibly forward thinking and technologically advanced culture hobbled by the fact that they're basically Space Libertarians (constantly competing with one another instead of working together, total disregard for health and safety, lack of quality control due to constant pressure to get products out before competitors and lack of consequences from killing, maiming or poisoning customers with defective and/or completely irresponsible products, being wasteful and destructive to the local environment in a way that somehow exceeds the environmental devastation wrought by long-established human and ork colonies in only a fraction of the time, functionally no public services or centralised utilities, etc.)
I would legitimately love to see a story from black library where the AdMech encounter an entire species of mad scientists and silicon valley tech bros who are perpetually waist deep in their own excrement and might actually be capable of becoming the dominant species of the galaxy if they weren't so utterly useless at cooperation.
Absolute quality! Love it! 👏👏
I don't even play Warhammer, but this is so cool
Also more space skaven
Nice, I loved your previous Space skave conversion.
more space rats YES YES! loving the slump strider, space doomwheel next??
Great video, first one I've watched but hear your name on others I thought it's time to see fir myself and very interesting.
This is so cool! I'd love to see more Space Skaven or Plague Tide! (or them working together because I feel like they have really similar vibes)
