I don’t think Magnus’ wings would really make a good Corax, his wings are supposed to be stealthy with blades for feathers if I’m not mistaken… I’m sure it COULD work but personally they would need ALOT of green stuff
Loving some of these Custom Fan Regiments. Honestly I want to see more Feudal World Regiments or PDFs, they're pretty much just perfect to cross Warhammer and Warhammer 40k together. Also hope you use the Sallet style helmets someday Salletd are awesome.
Using Sallets and Kettle helmets is a improvement against the usual empire bits on cadians aproach. I like using fireforge Russians for that, the chainmail masks really scream grimdark to me. Kinda like the blooded face masks but cooler.
Check out Reptilian Overlord's Mercenary and militia stls, they can be equipped with either fantasy or sci-fi weaponry and fit perfect as feudal worlders
A regiment i myself might once kitbash are the hussite rebels. The rebels were violently Christian but didn't agree with the actions of the catholic church, so my concept is that they served throughout the great crusade and are very loyal but don't like the eclesiarchy and its over zealotry and are
And this is what I LOVE about the Guard. I have 15+ homebrew regiments I have made since returning to the hobby in 2018/19. Keep up the great work! 👏🏾👏🏾
@@joe-mn4ln haha 😅 when I say 'made' I mean I have created homebrew regiments of my own design with their own background/colour scheme etc rather than regiments in terms of numbers of troops. I usually get an idea for a new type before I have finished the last, but I am trying to paint more this year 😅
I have 3, currently I'm working on two dieselpunk regiments, one is based on alternative history ww1/ww2 british infantry and the other is just generally dieselpunk inspired, more in line with Valkyria Chronicles in design.
I see these videos as entertainment. It's a big illusion that has kept 28mm alive that the normal customer can somehow come to produce painted minis anywhere close to the ones presented. (They cant)
@@a-sheepof-christ9027 I mean you can it just involves extra leg work on your end, kit bashing involves you putting in the work to make things work together even when they come from different kits, this is not like buying and assembling a Cadian model, but it is not that much more difficult if you have at least some level of experience assembling minis or even scale models where you might kit bash a lot more.
@@a-sheepof-christ9027 blue stuff and two part epoxy molding does a great job at making cheap bits to help with kit bashing an entire army, same with companies like war games Atlantic selling 20+ guard for 30 bucks per box
I love the man-at-arms. The idea of them just cleaning after the knights is accurate, plus they look cool. Tho i would not use a arbites helmet, but rather a Crusader helmet or Sister of battle helmet
I hope GW is listening right now Pete because I actually bought a box of Cadians because of this video! I got inspired and after looking around in my bits box and seeing all of my admech bits - I'm now the proud owner of a battle servitor guard kill team!
9:50 Interestingly, the Fremen were the original inspiration for the Van Saar. Have a look at the classic Van Saar - they're straight-up wearing stillsuits.
Painting the new Cadian rifles up with wooden stocks and furniture looks amazing. Really changes the look of the weapon and gives it a classic WW1 vibe. The Exaction squad as a basis for Knight household troops is fantastic as well. Looks like that kit has a ton of conversion potential. Thanks for showcasing the new Kromlech stuff! I was looking forward to seeing their desert troops and hoping they'd make for good cultists... seems like I'm in luck there.
I have a suggestion, if you're interested - I have my own custom force of space pirates I'm working on, and I'd love to see how you tackle that concept! Just normal non-chaotic human space pirates.
the Fremen-one is great, did something similiar (though way not that refined) a decade ago based on the classic Eldar-Guardians (the resemble the Lynch-Fremen-Suits in my opinion). Great work as ALWAYS!
While not a custom Regiment, I do know one fun one - Custom SM Chapters and CSM Warbands. I find The Custom Bit great for this as among other third party pieces, they have a Samurai and Roman range, as well as Viking and Templars that aren't Space Wolves or Black Templars/Dark Angels
This is a damn good show of Custom regiments and expert crafting! I'm inspired to dig out old Random Regiment Roll Tables and fluff up some new IG of my own!
I missed your videos where you customize a large batch of models, especially your Kill team style videos. Those were in my opinion some of your best work. And if you want some ideas for customizing guardsmen, well I have quite a few for you. But i'll stick to suggesting one for now. There is a regiment that I made for an Only War campaign quite some time ago that I've always wanted to see represented on the tabletop, and I think you would do them justice. They are a religious warrior culture who honor the imperium but translate their fervor into honing their prowess, skill, and veterancy in the field of combat. Die hard warriors who are not allowed to return from the field of battle until they have slain a foe, be this by bloodying their blades or bringing back a piece of the foe. They specialize in melee combat, but will utilize range when neccessary.
Your videos add a great breath of creativity as well as a soothing source of entertainment. I was also wondering if you could do a video of Space Marines Scouts and Neophytes, seeing as GW has limited those models, and I would like to have some fresh blood to the chapter
My current regiment is the Deamrian Valarian Rifles. They are originally a PDF regment drafted into the Imperal guard. They are noted for their light armor utilizing only a simple flack vest, cadian styled helmit and long coats. They often prefer their own factorum created auto guns and pistoles, though as time has gone on they have come to integrate lass guns into the regment. They specialize in cold weather and forest warfare. With experience fighting asemetrical warfare as well as Orks.
I had the same idea for the fremen! I have a GSC army that uses normal neophytes, Van Saar, and Nomads for the neophytes, and delaque models for the acolytes, all dune themed.
Seeing as GW doesnt make renegades and traitor guardsmen other than the one KT kit, it would be very cool to see a traitor guard conversion, perhaps for something like the moebian 6th or blood pact?
Wargames Atlantic just today launched a crowdfunding campaign for their "The Damned" line of plastic kits. Ones heavily reminiscent of the old traitor guardsmen. They've got four kits unlocked at base, with the potential for loads more if the campaign goes well. Check it out, if you want. It might be what you're looking for.
I've always thought that the Warhammer fantasy Freeguild kits would make a great basis for a Imperial Guard regiment, specifically the outriders, pistolers, greatswords, and the general all of which have that nice mix of armor and cloths made with extra cloth that were indicative of the Landsknecht of the the 15th century, though the hatted heads of the freeguild crossbowmen could add a bit of that vibe to the Tempestus Scion's torso's
love the minis they look great, and love the fact that i now have more minis to paint from kromlech(to add to my pile of unbuilt/panted Deathguard kits)
It would be great to see more militarum kitbashes i would love to see, traitor guard, penal legions. I just bought a militarum combat patrol and the cadia stands box set and am going to try to do some of these kitbashes and would love to see what you come up with.
This is awesome! I’m just getting into 40K tabletop and I’m looking to create a regiment of guard that have been requisitioned by the inquisition and have some stormtroopers and other inquisitorial agents with them, basically darktide tabletop hahaha
I'd really love to see you take on kitbashing some of the Terran forces. The Lucifer Blacks especially, but also Palatine Sentinels, Terran Praefects, and Katanda Stalwarts. To my knowledge, none of these have ever been depicted graphically. I think we just have descriptions from books.
If you ever make more guard regiments, I’d be interested in seeing how you’d tackle marines, not space marines but like soldiers who thrive in aquatic environments. I’m trying to do that for my own army but it’s really just a color scheme on the Cadian kit so far
Pete, I have few ideas for you. 1) 5 member team… Judges (Judge Dredd) 2) 5 member team… lightly armored strike team… Vader - leader, 4 members of the 501. 3) 5 member team… mixed unit… MD Geist - leader, Ironman, Tau Fireworrior Eldar, ED 209,
I working on a space marine chapter based off Tibetan Buddhism, I plan to make a small PDF as well. I'd love to see you tackle a kitbash with that kind of idea in mind.
I want to see the Dune regiment riding into battle on Sand worms. For suggestion, In the trilogy of mechanics books there is reference to servitors being made out of Orks. That I'd like to see
I would be interested in seeing you do a Tzeentchian Aeldari (Asuryani) kitbash. The lore justification could be that the forces of Slaneesh have invaded an Eldar Craftworld and are winning, but Tzeentch forces (such as the Thousand Sons or other Tzeentch-aligned forces) offer to help the Eldar for a price. Eventually, they pledge their loyalty to Tzeentch in an attempt to avoid Slaneesh. That's all I can think of for a justification.
No normal customer is able to paint minis in this quality. It is infact often a lifetime journey that brings more frustration than joy to many tabletop gamers. Some set their hobby aside for years because of this...
Considering the Militarum has a Boer War/WWI/WWII vibe have you thought of looking into armies of that time period outside of Europe. The Australian army has this hat that has to worn at a precise angle.
Always love your kitbashing video. I read the last chancer series book at the moment and i will love to see your version of the 13th Penal legion. Thank you for your inspiration
I don't know if you're a Half-Life fan, but if you put the more militant looking Skitarii heads (with the gears removed), and paint the cloth blue and the armor black, you can have an entire regiment of Barney Calhoun
Hey so I dunno if you've heard of it but there's an unoffical Warhammer fantasy 9th edition (also known as the Warhammer armies project) that I thought you might be interested in, since it has rules for factions like the zombie pirates and even the non zombie pirates.
Going to be using some Necromunda Hive Scum to create some kind of plain clothes agents of the Imperium. Maybe you've already done something like that but thought it would be a cool idea.

Can you do some more vehicle kitbashes, like a corvus black star or a gunship?
Here's an idea. Use Magnus and/or a Lord of Change to make Corvus Corax in his demonic form.
Yes, yes, yes.
I don’t think Magnus’ wings would really make a good Corax, his wings are supposed to be stealthy with blades for feathers if I’m not mistaken… I’m sure it COULD work but personally they would need ALOT of green stuff

Just normal non-chaotic human space pirates.

Great video! I'd love to see more from the Harbingers of Fate in the future
Nurgle Exodites would be a fun one. Perhaps base the dinos on the Plague of Madness from Primal.
All of these were fantastic, my personal favorites were the one with the yellow and green hooded outfit, and the one with the horned helmet.
Would love to see you do conversions of the Phoenix Lord's that haven't been updated yet
They are all great, but the Harbinger is by far my favourite.
Would love to see you do 5 custom Astra Administratum figures
While not a custom Regiment, I do know one fun one - Custom SM Chapters and CSM Warbands. I find The Custom Bit great for this as among other third party pieces, they have a Samurai and Roman range, as well as Viking and Templars that aren't Space Wolves or Black Templars/Dark Angels

Warhammer plus Dune. Mind blown. Better than dead animal bits!
This video brings me so much joy! A1 as ever, Pete! See you at UKGE 😊
As always another great kitbash !
Athonian Tunnelrats would be very interesting for a kitbash
PETE!, You do such amazing work, could you please do an Astorath the Grim Conversion!? The model is so old and small, just need my man at scale :)

the dune guy looks cool and easy to make
Dude, you have helped me with the idea of doing a regiment based on the country Malta with the Men-at-arms that you did there. Thanks!
I love the Knight house men at arms are brilliant! I am working on my own household troops for my custom Knight house!
I like the retro paintjob too; throwback to the traditional Warhammer Fantasy empire man-at-arms, down to the colours and the quartering.
Have you ever thought of doing conversion of C'tan shards (all 3 or just one) but "before" they get enslaved but the necrons ?
You mad lad. These are BRILLIANT. nobody could have done this as well as you.
thank you Pete for these awesome regiments. one reminds me of Shovel Knight
Your videos add a great breath of creativity as well as a soothing source of entertainment. I was also wondering if you could do a video of Space Marines Scouts and Neophytes, seeing as GW has limited those models, and I would like to have some fresh blood to the chapter
Definitly one of my fav so far ! really nice work.
This is great inspiration for some Militia and Cults or Solar Auxilia for Horus Heresy
That vehicle reminds me of the chaos stalk-tanks that are in some of the Gaunt’s Ghosts books.

If you do one of these any time soon, I would love to see a mini if the Guard Regiment I'm currently writing a story about.
Content is getting better and better, holy shit!
For me I just had a lot of spare parts from all of them so I made a scraper legion, that strip imperial battle fields of their weapons and armor
7:50 this legion kinda of needed a shovel. If you get what i mean.

Tk U so much! The video was expecting
lovely and thanks for future project inspirations ;)
I’d love to see the Lucifer blacks with power glaives
LOL I have always thought the Van Saars from Necromunda looked like they were wearing stillsuits ;p
I'm hoping Kromlech will release some bodies fit to make Valhallan Ice Warriors soon. Either way, excellent conversions my man
One could also use bloodbowl humans as conversion base too. Very close to Necrumunda regiment.
sorry for this, first, although some of my favorites you made must have been the fremen and the vortigen men at arms, as always keep up the good work
would be sick if you did some auric auxillia! They already exist in lore but no art or models have ever been released
Going to be using some Necromunda Hive Scum to create some kind of plain clothes agents of the Imperium. Maybe you've already done something like that but thought it would be a cool idea.
Personally I would love to see you try a Tyrants Legion kitbash see where you would take it
