    I managed to get one of these today, and I must say the piston-y bits are very well designed, wasn't sure how well it would translate from the resin models to this, but can comfortably say, they aren't a pain - in fact the model itself is a time consuming build but a satisfying one, very happy with how the build worked out - took about 2.5 hours - and I tend to build quite fast.

    I find your narration to be just the right mix of engaging and soothing to have in the background while I do other tasks; I find I often learn about some technique I want to give a try on my own figures; and of course, your final results are just pleasant to see. But god *damn* are your figures expensive at the end of the day!
    I'm sure that you get a lot of product supplied to you in exchange for featuring it here, so I expect there's practical limits on what you can do - but I'd personally enjoy an exploration of how to take more budget friendly models like, say, historical armoured vehicle kits or even dollar store toys, and and tweaking them to look like they belong on a 40K battlefield. Preferably in a way that doesn't assume the builder has a huge stash of leftover bits from years of building official models. :)

    I see what you were going for with the trench. I half want to do the same thing, but have the knight striding over a much narrower trench and have some regular troops in the trench cheering.
    A while ago I actually wrote a short bit of fiction with this very scene: Knights defending a manufacturing plant, sallying across the perimeter trenches(manned by regular troops and foot retainers and lesser knights) to attack into the teeth of an enemy assault(under the cover of a bombardment of smoke shells) to wreck some mechanised heretics in close quarters. It was to counter the enemy tactic of advancing with chimeras and armigers to flush the imperial knights out with russes on overwatch, and knights in reserve. My logic is that a tank squadron concentrating fire is going to knock down knight after knight.
    By employing tactical smoke the knights and russes were cut off from supporting the lighter units, the chimera borne troops were left to blunder confused through the smoke, the crews having much less chance of success in the sudden and brief encounters with the enemy in the thick smoke, it was an environment that favored a fully integrated, piloted warsuit and of course the powerful weapons mounted on said warsuits, the chaos armigers left isolated in pockets to face loyalist armigers(yeah no 'war dawgs' this story predates chaos knights kit by like 5 years) working in groups alongside their knights, so despite being unbelieably hardy the chaos armigers really lost out. The chaos knights did reach the melee, but often had to contend with having to face a loyalist knight head on, and it's armigers coming around the sides, fighting as a single unit, so despite their disgusting resilience they did not fare well(having your legs cut out from behind you will knock you on you're ass, and from there they will just dismantle you).

    I havent build anything 40k in about a decade by now (kind of gave up over time), but i keep eyeing the Knight kits because like you said, who doesnt love giant robots? Im surprised how well designed they look however, especially on the posing options where just clipping a tab is enough. I like the idea of a siege knight pattern, it makes sense too to have something thats there for close troop support, basically a Demolisher Russ or Hellhound on legs. Bit surprised however you didnt paint the inside of the plates with some black or dry brushe steel.

    REspekt, i love your conversions and Videos, they are easy to understand and follow, any chance you make something with Astra Militarum Tanks? a Baselisk inspired by a German Hummel or so maybe =D?

    Terrific conversion! Very 40k. One question though, where’re the dead animal bits?
