Autarch Skyrunner - Eldar Exodites Conversions- Part 3 | Monster Hunter x Warhammer 40k
Wargames Atlantic is coming out with their "The Damned" line of plastic kits, from their successful crowdfund campaign. They have a very similar aesthetic to what's found in this build, with the spiked, gas mask helmets and distressed uniforms. I've got a ton of models coming in from that campaign. (In fact, as of this writing, the Gamefound project is STILL accepting late contributions, which I highly recommend due to all the free sprues that come with pledges.) I'll definitely be using some of what I learned here to individualize my dudes.
If I may ask, why aren't you a fan of the current Plague Marine aesthetic?
I highly recommend the genesteler neophytes for shotguns, 10 per box. They also have 2-3 per box of atlan jackals if you can find a GSC player who prefers autoguns. Slick greenstuff work on this one, very nice.
Fast becoming my favourite lad doing painting and small conversions. I enjoy your boice and laid back attitude.
Love it!
really happy to see something other than a space marine, variety is the spice of life
I don't know if you regularly take requests... But I would absolutely LOVE to see some Maccabian Janissaries! I was going to convert my veteran guardsmen kill team but didn't have pieces or patience (or the knowledge of how to do it)
The tabard covers his stomach too, that's not armour.
dragonspears feel like a metallic teal
9:38 have you considered that there's been 100,000+ primaris marines fighting for several centuries by the most recent 40k Lore? Even with the retcon that guillimans crusade was only like a decade or two it is heavily implied that primaris have been a thing for at least 100 years. Even without the many large clashes between Loyalis Asdtartes including both Firstborne&Primaris and Traitor Astartes like what happened during the Plague Wars, the 13th Black Crusade and the Arks of Omen Campaigns[yknow, when an entire fucking Indomitus Crusade Fleet other than GreyKnights, Custodes, Blanks&some especially faithful Loyalist Mortals were corrupted with a Daemonic Rage Curse BY KHORNE HIMSELF] that is plenty of time for Traitor Astartes to get their hands on primaris wargear, and even enough time for some Primaris SpaceMarines to fall to Chaos, even just by Veterans of the Long War stealing small supply shipments for Astartes Chapters or dragging off the wargear of a few Loyalists they killed in a skirmish. Although whoever converted those 2 lads should have defiled the aquila&imperialis on their bolt rifles.
They're all pretty good points and I genuinely agree with all of them across the board. Like yeah, why wouldn't they loot dead Primaris marines with perfectly good wargear? It's just my personal preference bordering on irrationality 😂
aww, you got my hopes up with the art you showed for the Charnel guard at first. I thought you were gonna do a Leviathan Dreadnought!
...damn, I think I fucked up bro 🤔
Have you done Blood pact yet?
15:30 btw, every horus heresy plastic tank has the tank accessory sprue which comes with some plastic mk. II power armour bits including some open hands like that, and some neat binoculars&tablets. also a bunch of combi-weapon bits.
That's super good to know actually! Much appreciated 👍
*runnel tats
Tunnel Tats 😳
The Adeptus Mechanicus approves.
The amount of times I have come back to this video and had it get me reenergized to paint my DA army boarders on crazy. Honestly thank you for this video.
That means a ton, thank you! Being able to inspire people to work on their own stuff, whatever it may be, is one of the best things about making vids! 😁
I again came across with your fantastic Ashen Claws conversion. Honestly, your attention to detail and patience as cool as your talent and entertaining manner of providing the information. Well, I said what I wanted
Thank you very much friend, it's always appreciated 😁
Never heard of these guys before, I think I like them! Your mini being so good definitely helps 😂
Glad you like them! I've always been fond of them and I'm glad to see so many people warming up to the rats as well 😁
Love this idea, I might include some of these in my mixed insignia chaos warband
Please do a short video showing how you made the cloack look that tattered. its the perfect look for a project im going to do
These guys are the real Space Skaven, yes yes 😁 Really clean final result mate: colour blocking looks fantastic! Some really solid conversion ideas as well, and I appreciate you pointing to other kits as inspiration for those without printers. Very nice stuff, as always!
Thanks man, always appreciate your support 😁 I know not everyone is dedicated enough or have means to purchase a printer so I felt like presenting those alternatives helps bridge the accessibility gap for making these unique regiments
Another brilliant video, thanks Lich
Actually sir, thank YOU for watching! 😏
Great painting 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers bro 😎👍
super cool model, always cool to see what direction people go with regiments like these. Also makes me wonder what a melee/close range gaurd squad could look like beyond meltas, bayonets, and trench clubs, Kinda like what the actual in game unit for the feral world literal cavemen of the old old gaurd regiment image (the back and white line art one) would be. Speaking of the old old regiment image theres a ton of quite cool looking ones on there that might be worth a look. Some really cool ones, even a bunch of mounted units if you ever wanted an excuse to model some horses :] The Ezelti Lancers, Ironsides, ratskins, and the Unauthorized access ones look especially cool
Don't worry chief, we may see a cavalry unit in this series 👀 You didn't hear it from me though 😏
The Bhargesi are implied to be fairly intelligent as you assumed, since from information I’ve been able to find most of the Iron Lords job regarding them is to thwart attempts at FTL travel - meaning they already have spacefaring capabilities and have gotten close to FTL travel several times just for the Iron Lords to stop them.
Interesting thing about the Native American inspirations, there's some truly ancient fluff about the Dark Angels and one of their recruitment worlds called Plains World. The story is basically a myth about the founding of the Deathwing and why they wear bone white armor, as it honors an ancient tradition of Plains World. It's still technically canon in the sense that Plains World was just referenced in their latest Codex supplement, but the story itself is basically an universe legend they tell to new recruits into the Chapter. It's also why Deathwing usually have little feather totem bits on them. It's pretty neat, and I honestly want to try my hand at a homebrew DA successor with a Native American theme. Also gotta say as someone from the South I absolutely love that the Knights of Gold are literally just Mardi Gras Marines. Really creative color scheme and fluff.
Interesting! I never actually knew the bone white color had a significance. Learnin' something new every day 😅 And I'm glad you like them! The Knights were a pretty well-received chapter so I'm definitely looking to expand upon them a little more in the future
24:49 Bisexual chaos space marine
really nice stuff, liking the guard route you taking recently. When you doing Savlar Chem Dogs?
Thanks! I've had a few people ask about Savlar Chem Dogs so I'll have to make a special note of them in my schedule lol
They look like they would be played by a guy who wants to play traitor guard but can't.
Bring back Renegades and Heretics as an army or we RIOT 😤
Ohhh they look badass, as grimdark as it gets. Congrats !
Gracias mi amigo! 😁
Could you do some AOS next after this series? They have some cool models with good kitbashing potential
I have AoS in my list of projects, but no particular subject matter. I'll have to poll the audience and see what we'd like to focus on!
The Athonian Tunnel Rats are just one bad day away from becoming Chaos-or being turned into Skaven.
The Horned Rat's presence even in the undertunnels of Athonia is truly powerful
Love the helmet & scriptures. How long did you have to wait for the greenstuff to semi-harden before tearing in order for the cloak to not go limp btw? Sounds like a fiddly balance to keep in mind so I'd like to know for the future!
Buhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think about 30 minutes to an hour? I don't actually remember since I got distracted, but from what I know about green stuff, that sounds correct enough 😏 I'd try a test sample just to make sure I'm not leading you astray 😅
Nice and neat ! The Blackstone Fortress boxes also included some Traitor guardsmen who looked liked those rats, it included a trooper wearing a cape like the one that you did. Thanks for your efforts, I'm working on a huge guard army inecluding multiple regiments and your videos are a big inspiration source.
I actually wanted to use that kit! But money's tight after those big car repair bills and saving for the camera lol. And I'm glad you liked the vid! More obscure ass regiments in the next few weeks 👍
🔥🤘❤️
Thanks chief 😁👍
Athonia aka necromunda on speed and psychic cocaine
A tragic case of the zoomies 🙏
Ooooh.....Do my Chemdogs next!!!! 🤘 Great vidya!!
Thanks man! I'll add em to the list! 😁
I would recommend solar auxila for a project like this. Hell I recommend them for any 25-28 mm infantry, they work really well for kitbashing and they are pretty cheap.
That's a pretty good suggestion! 👀
I like this Lil dude
Thanks 😊
The worse offense that can get you executed out right by the Inquisition… Jay walking
Almost as bad as elbows on the table in the eyes of the Imperium 👀
niceee, good looking final product!
Thanks chief! 😁
Love these guys
Me too! I could easily do a kil team for these guys lol
So how did you get that shade of green for the base?
I dont own a bright green so I put small dots of flat green into my flat yellow till it was nice and lime-y. The drybrush was pure yellow
Ogey...rrrat!
RRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrAT 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
I wasn't sure about the coke can scroll but the end result looks great
It's definitely an awesome method for making purity seals and scrolls but if the strip is too thin, it can be a little fragile, so be careful!
Im sorry, were those stormravens flying in that intro? Those things fly faster than they reasonably should
Do You do reviews of other companies miniatures?
I have nothing against other company's minis! I just happen to do a lot of 40k. I've wanted to get my hands on some minis for other games like Star Wars Legions but just never seem to find the time, but since I'm implementing a "split" schedule between 40k and other stuff, hopefully I'll be able to actually get to work with other brands
@@TheLichsLaboratory Would you be willing to review my companies miniatures if I sent you the STLs?
My lord the scans show no intelligent life on the planet. Ah very good let us go .
Big shrug, let's bounce 😏
love the helmet, Giving some serious Jin-Roh vibes. Speaking off, Wargames Atlantic has two Eisenkern kits in their Iron core line, they'd be a pretty perfect base for scion/kasarkin in this regiment. Or honestly. The green stuff cloak on top of The blooded kill team is pretty perfect.
I wanted to get that Bloodied team specifically for this project but it wasn't in the budget 😅
@@TheLichsLaboratory Understandable.
I actually used that tearing effect for ragged pieces of skin on my night lords. I actually discovered it on my own by accidentally stretching the green stuff when rolling it out. I would guess a lot of people discovered it this way. I love it when I fuck up but discover something cool along the way.
Yo that's a good point! This would be great for some flayed skin 👀
