It is I, Cato Sicarius, former captain of the Ultramarines 2nd Company and current commander of the Victrix Honour Guard, Master of the Watch, Knight Champion of Macragge, Grand Duke of Talassar and High Suzerain of Ultramar, and I say that you have made me, Cato Sicarius, look as magnificent as I, Cato Sicarius, always should have been. Very much well done.
your paint jobs look incredible. each model you kitbash should have a part 2 where you paint it. A different beast entirely for recording im aware but we'd watch it
Very nice, I would never have considered using these parts. It really works. I would love to see your take on some of the only inquisitor models, covenant etc
The "Tassle" is an Aiguillette, something from modern and historic military uniforms that distinguish special and senior appointments, such as: Army officers of General or naval officers of Flag rank. Chief of Army, Admiral in the Navy etc.
Its rare to find a channel dedicated to kitbashes, that has *good* kitbashes of consistent quality AND has really nice paintjobs to boot. Please keep it up
Ventris: “Why are give Cato the Rubricon surgery Calgar: “It has a 50% chance of killing him.” Titus: “Wouldn’t it be better to let him die, my lord?” Calgar: “Better publicity if we make it look like we tried to save his arrogant ass.” Cato: *Burts through doors* “I, Cato Sicarius, Have crossed the Rubricon and am now a Primaris!” The Ultramarines: “MOTHERFUCKER!!!”
@WePaintMinis np I been thinking using a bt neophyte as a base and a shoty as the base for the sniper he holds but definitely will wait in anticipation for yours you tend to have better ideas with the ultramarine looks
Both the paintjob and the conversion are excellent. Initially I was a little skeptical about the left arm - thinking it was a bit high and the gun wasn't straight - but actually it gives it a more aggressive 'gangster' look that fits the character quite well. I can imagine him shouting 'BRAP BRAP' every time he takes a shot.
How else is he going to represent? (Do the kids still say that?🤣) It took me a lot of fiddling to actually get the arm in a position I was OK with, not happy, but OK haha. Thank you. 😊
I'm not sure if it's just my headcannon or actual lore but the way I understand it Space Marines mix and match armor parts (At least back in the heresy), due to shortages or simply to suit the needs of that armor, so any armor mark "discrepancies" are lore accurate!
I Cato Sicarius shall be known to the galaxy as Cato Sicarius the greatest Cato Sicarius of epicness and pure power of the emperor Cato Sicarius the bestest most amazingness Cato Sicarius…
I did include the painting on my last video, however, the additional time taken was causing the video to be of a lower standard imho, so until I can put something out I am happy with, I will stick to this format. I do actually record the painting, so there is a potential for a separate video in some form. Thank you 😁
Very well done! I appreciate the fact that you do not use any greenstuff (or equivalent), but rather stick to existing plastic parts. With no sculpting required, it makes things easier if anyone wants to replicate, or if one is not very used to sculpting.
I have dabbled with sculpting I do feel it is important to try a learn, however, I like to think of the phrase 'there is an app for that', but it's 'there is a bit for that' for us kitbashers haha. Thank you. :)
Wonderful Sicarius, he looks just like the cover of the omnibus book! If you ever feel like it, I'd love to see your take on Vorth Mordrak from the Grey Knights.
Master of forge on bike...or a techmarine on bike with a full servoharness like the thunder fire cannon techmarine two guns above the power pack and two servo arms out to the side. That would be really cool. Or using the new terminator model make a master of the forge with full servo harness
@@WePaintMinis Not just that. Such cool looking Minis deserve to be produced! I really want this Sicarius in my Army! :D I have the old Fine Cast Sicarius, but this Primars Conversion would be an amazing upgrade! :D
Nice job, Sicarius isn't one of my favorite characters but that paint job looks fantastic. I'd love to see your take on Anval Thawn the last perpetual and immortal grey knight.
Just a little criticism about the pistol. It's not in line with his arm and looks kind of weird because recoil would throw it off, if that makes any sense. But everything else looks awesome!
I get what you mean. I am not 100% happy with the gun/arm itself either. I actually adjusted it a few times before settling on this as the best way at the time. Thank you 😁
It has been a while since I got to see one of your kitbashes. I like it a lot. It is he, Cato Sicarious, the captain of the fabled 2nd company of glorious Ultramarines that he, Cato Sicarius is the greatest hero of! Or something like that. I have to say the belt was a great shout, although cleaning it up had to be nerve-racking. I would probably not think about it and that is what makes your kitbashes such great learning opportunities. Also... Malakim Phoros maybe? during the trial of Gabriel Sett he shows up, confirming that he survived not only warp ship getting blown up but also the cold emptiness of space. Somehow. And even had the time to be on the trial while on penitent crusade.
Any part that I have to shave/smooth down is a part I am most worried about, peobably more so than parts I cut I would say. So, yes, very nerve-wracking. I just make sure to take my time. Measure twice, cut once. haha! Malakim is on the to-do list. Thank you for the kind words.
@@TheThewhatnow I don't use either, I think thr glossy look comes from the flesh tearers red contrast paint wash I do after the glazing. I have the recipe at home, happy to share when I get back.
This is a slightly specific suggestion - I see Tycho is on the list, but I kinda wanted to add another interpretation of Tycho here. A non-zero amount of people, myself included, are hoping this guy gets remade as a named dreadnaught for Blood Angels, and I 50/50 Tycho the Golden and Tycho the Lost scheme could look fantastic for something like that! The parts could likely be sourced from the Brutalis kit and the Furioso kit, if I had to guess. Also, can't forget Huron Blackheart!
I don't love ultramarines usually, but am am warming up to them and this video has done wonders for my motivation to try some, such great production value and kit bashing, love the honesty about mistakes too. great channel. happy new subscriber
Ultramarines get a lot of stick for various reasons and I do get it, but some of there stuff is very cool. I am happy I motivated you, that's the best outcome for any of my videos. I really do feel it's important to point out the mistakes, because things go wrong or you change your mind and that is OK. Thank you for the kind words and your support, more importantly, Welcome!
Awesome kitbash as always! Your video inspired me to kitbash my own Pedro Kantor. For a suggestion, I actually had something fairly simple: A Tome Keepers Ancient. I’m totally not planning on using this to kitbash my own for my Tome Keepers army. Nope, not at all.
Really love these videos they led me to start doing kitbashing myself. Really wish GW would put out some bits and pieces kits that are cheaper for conversions. The price to buy a kit to cut up and potentially mess up is the only thing holding me back
It is a daunting thing that is for sure and I would completely understand folks reluctance because of that. I am glad I inspired you to try kitbashing out though and I owuld love to see you work.
@@spuriusligustinus4509 They do indeed. I have used some before when I have been desperate or just need one small thing. There are som good ways to get bits (Hatchett Partworks Magazine), but it take a while to make it's way over seas.
Pete the Wargamer did Lias recently, but totally up for trying a different take on hims thats for sure. Thanks for the suggestion, he wasn't on the list. :)
Beautiful work! GW will need to step their game up to beat this! Btw the shoulder rope things are called aiguillettes, it’s funny how military traditions apparently survived 40 thousand years haha. I’m terrified for your thumbs though, I use a rubber thimble from a discount shop when cutting with my hobby knife to protect my thumb!
My thumbs have suffered and funnily enough, I do believe I have a rubber thimble and never thought to use it. Great idea. Thank you for letting me know what they are called, better than dangly rope thing. Thank you for the kind words too! 😊

I absolutely love doing these Conversions, I have done a total of 7 on here now, and I hope my enjoyment shows. There is always room for improvement on any model, so the fact we can try to do that as Miniature hobbyists, is great. Thank you for the kind words.

I Don't know how hard it is to record the painting process but damn i'd love to watch it. Your paintjob is really close to the box art and look stellar. Keep up the great work!
There is a very high chance I will include the painting at some point. I want to nail the conversion part of the videos first and when I get to the position of having more time, I will add the painting. Its definitely on the cards though. Thank you for the kind words 😊
Would love to see some primaris-sized regular robed Dark Angel Marines (kitbashed from Inner Circle Companions and old DA Veterans/Fallen kit) Planning to do a DA successor where all Marines are robed, similar to Guardians of the Covenant
This looks absolutely amazing! I'd love to see your take on some different Iron Hands minis. Stuff like 30k standard legionnaires, First Captain Gabriel Santar or a 30k Techmarine.
Speaking of striving for perfection what about kit bashing some primaris and stormcast parts to make one of the third legion perfecti now grown larger and more beautiful as a champion of Slaansh.
It's helps make the cut a little more straight as they piece isn't wobbling about as much. Also stops and damage to the surface undeneath as well stops the pieces from pinging away into the void haha. Thank you 😁
@@WePaintMinis That's really hard to choose, honestly. If I had to pick one over the other, it'd probably be Lord Regent Casan Sabius. I need a proper leader for my Scorpions but I don't have the creative mind to figure out a way to Primaris-ify him. I'm still really sad they stopped selling all the Red Scorpion characters.
@@shadewolfe3131 I have them both in the list now, however it's interesting to know so that if I choose to do one, atleast it is one that you would most like to see first. 😁
Absolutely incredible and inspiring! Out of curiosity, you ever consider taking commission on kit bashing models? Asking for a friend (the friend is me).
I, CATO SICARIUS, would cost about 200£ in total. Thats enough to get a pretty sizable custodes army but I, CATO SICARIUS, IS WORTH 10X MORE THAN THOSE DISPICABLE BANANA BOYS IN THE EYES OF THE EMPEROR
Haha, custodes pale in comparison to Cato Sicarius. My kitbashes can seem a little expensive at times, however a lot of hobbyists have these kits anyway. There are so many alternative ways to make your own Cato too. Thank you 😁
Bro I think I asked you a while ago that I'd love to see Cato and you delivered there bro cause I've got two boxes of each for Xmas and I've been stuck in what to do with them now I have all the clarity I need iam now setting up my things again thanks to you

Looks terrific! I'd love to see a Primaris Alessio Cortez, the scarred Captain of the Crimson Fists!
I have him on my list to do. Already done Pedro, so this may be a way off, but you never know.
This looks absolutely amazing!
I'd love to see your take on some different Iron Hands minis. Stuff like 30k standard legionnaires, First Captain Gabriel Santar or a 30k Techmarine.
I am planning to do 30k on streams, so I will add this to the list for sure.
@@WePaintMinis Glad to hear that.
As a new sub I'm certainly looking forward to it
Id love to see how you would do a prinaris version of Pedro Kantor of the crimson fists!
I got you! 😅👍 ua-cam.com/video/lGgwapwB5LQ/v-deo.html
@@WePaintMinis you absolute legend!
@@MasterDrippage I hope you like it. The video is a little janky as it was my first one back for a few years.
Nicely done, man! And the paint job was silky smooth! 🤟
Thank you very much, really happy you like him.
Very well done!
Thank you very much!
A new Lysander using a new Terminator would be cool.
He is on the list and keep those eyes peeled ;P
It is he! ❤❤❤
I hope you like him. :)
Nice job!
Thanks so much, glad you like it. :)
I CATO SICARIUS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY BECAME A CATO SICARIUS KIT BASH!!!!!
Haha, thank you 😊
Speaking of striving for perfection what about kit bashing some primaris and stormcast parts to make one of the third legion perfecti now grown larger and more beautiful as a champion of Slaansh.
Great idea, I have some Slaanesh ideas mulling over in my brain.
Logan Grimnar and Arjac Rockfist! Please in new terminator scale
They are both on the list and I have some terminators now, however, I did do Ukrik recently, so these chaps will have to wait for a short while.
amazing!
Thank you so much, glad you like it :)
So good!
Thank you so much. 😊
Amazing conversion, you've done a great job :D
But, what is the purpose of the blutack with the plasma pistol?
It's helps make the cut a little more straight as they piece isn't wobbling about as much. Also stops and damage to the surface undeneath as well stops the pieces from pinging away into the void haha. Thank you 😁
I dont see it on the list but I think it'd be awesome to see Casan Sabius and Sirae Karagon cross the Rubicon.
Great call, some more Red Scopions love. Added them both to the list. Which one would you prefer?
@@WePaintMinis That's really hard to choose, honestly. If I had to pick one over the other, it'd probably be Lord Regent Casan Sabius. I need a proper leader for my Scorpions but I don't have the creative mind to figure out a way to Primaris-ify him.
I'm still really sad they stopped selling all the Red Scorpion characters.
@@shadewolfe3131 I have them both in the list now, however it's interesting to know so that if I choose to do one, atleast it is one that you would most like to see first. 😁
@@WePaintMinis I'm looking forward to waiting many many months to see it! Haha
@@shadewolfe3131 if things go well for the channel, you never know, it might be sooner. Well I hope its sooner. 😅
This is amazing, the conversion and that paintjob, are you a retired 'eavy metal painter?
I am not no, never worked for GW. 😅 Just taught myself over the years. Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot.
Absolutely incredible and inspiring! Out of curiosity, you ever consider taking commission on kit bashing models? Asking for a friend (the friend is me).
I haven't no, I would worry that it would be too much extra work for me as my time is already limited. Thank you for the kind words. 😊
Primaris Sigismund
I cannot believe I didn't have him on the list already. Added!
I, CATO SICARIUS, would cost about 200£ in total. Thats enough to get a pretty sizable custodes army but I, CATO SICARIUS, IS WORTH 10X MORE THAN THOSE DISPICABLE BANANA BOYS IN THE EYES OF THE EMPEROR
Haha, custodes pale in comparison to Cato Sicarius. My kitbashes can seem a little expensive at times, however a lot of hobbyists have these kits anyway. There are so many alternative ways to make your own Cato too. Thank you 😁
Please next kit bash can you do a dark angels character like Balthasar or Ezekiel or maybe someone else
I have done an Ezekiel kitbash on my channel. Check it out! :)
@@WePaintMinis Balthasar then?? 😁
@@unsilencedchaos2112 I will add him to the list for you :)
Yes brother
Thank you!
Bro I think I asked you a while ago that I'd love to see Cato and you delivered there bro cause I've got two boxes of each for Xmas and I've been stuck in what to do with them now I have all the clarity I need iam now setting up my things again thanks to you
@@40king17hjf That is awesome to read. Glad I helped you and I am happy you like him.
