I like the way the power fist combines with his pose to give him a "Seriously? I have to deal with this shit?" expression.
😅 now I am thinking of that John Travolta meme
@@Miniscape-wh40k in what Film? what scene?
@@fernlenkerNear the middle part of Pulp Fiction.
Saul Invictus? Like Sol Invictus? Gotta love these early GW creators.
😁
Brave Chad of Ultramar!!!
This channel is the most boringly produced and narrated yet comfortingly fascinating to a certain group of old nerds. I appreciate you, Ringo Star on Thomas the tank engine sounding? yes. Fantastically nostalgic, also yes.
If boring is what the people want then boring they shall have 😅
YES those are my words if i just could find them =)
Banners are love, banners are life.
every character needs a banner
You are not wrong. I may yet add banners. Wait and see 😁
YES the samurais toled us! see the Captain with Hammer JumpPack and "curtain" on his back, like a toaster in the bath =)
it is about style to wear a Banner?
CU
That's a lot of models painted to a very nice level in 8 months, well done!
Very kind of you to say 😊
just want to bee kind too! YES great work even the time you spend to let us see! for making those glorious videos with some music!
when the special rules dropped for him in the old white dwarf...I focused on the 1st chapter. and his unit while expensive...they where amazing in clearing swaths of my friend's models!
Awesome
I really look forward to Sunday afternoon/coffee/painting and listening to your videos. Thanks so much from providence/Ri
I am glad my videos can be part of your routine. Take care buddy!
Just found your channel. I'm doing something very similar but with Space Wolves building the army of my dreams. Looking forward to more of your content.
Thanks. Sounds great. Welcome aboard!
Glorious Matthew! His unit each get a Wargear card??! That is super cool. Lots of possibilities there that's for sure.
Thanks Ed. Yes. Potential to be super cheesy 😁
Give an assault cannon Terminator a displacer field to really ruin your opponent's day.
@@StephenGraves please explain 😄
glorious my words, is there one that fit better? i like it like it yes i doooo
CU
Terminator captain was one of the first models I bought as a kid, lots of nostalgia!
Awesome buddy
Awesome. Love it
Here is my version of him:

He was eventually worked into an entire diorama or "polar fortress" - if interested - let me know and I will send pics
So glad!
Just discovered your channel and loving it. I spotted this lovely fig in your Ultramarine Army video and commented there as I had built my own from a space marine terminator captain and assorted pieces. I loved the 2nd edition days where we often had to make our own figs to represent what was on the table, WYSIWYG! I loved the assault marines in 2nd edition as you could have a wild array of weaponry which was greatly streamlined in 3rd edition. My heart broke as I butchered my lovely boys in blue 😞
I had a similar thing butchering my assault marines back in the day. Thanks for commenting and showing enthusiasm for the channel. It is much appreciated 🙏
Great paintjob, love the older models, def the best for me.
Fantastic!! As always!! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Always glad to see an awesome conversion.
Thank you. I love doing them.
Te felicito 👏👏👏 esas son las mejores minis
Thank you
Great conversion and paint job - especially converting metal, even after all these years I vividly remember the trial of doing a head swap on Jain Zar, fingers aching from holding the mini steady to saw through that enormous mane. The plasma blaster looks great of course, but I'm particularly impressed by the power fist, my memory of the original mini's hazy enough that if you hadn't mentioned it I'd never have known it wasn't part of the mini to begin with. A Terminator bodyguard with all their wargear modelled on would be quite a striking sight on the tabletop.
Thanks mate. I always appreciate your comments. Maybe soon I can try out that combination of Saul and his terminators loaded up with wargear cards.
looks good to me and coverts good to see what nest as do it
Thanks 😊
YES it does, and Matthew takes all the thougts about not to try away? =)
Fantastic Retro Video :D
Thank you so much
I had a home-brew chapter in the days of 2nd edition. I used the Ultra Marine Codex, so I renamed all the Special Characters. When I customized my Terminator Captain Bloodshadow I used two Eldar meltaguns from the Guardian sprue for his plasma blaser because imperial plasma guns where not easy to come by back then.
Ha nice
I too am working on a 2nd edition Ultras army (more scheme than models), and your videos are such a huge inspiration!
I am glad 😊 hope it goes well
@@Miniscape-wh40k so far it has!! The only problem is finding the classic boltguns for my metal tach marines. XD
@@LinkiePup they are gold dust
@@Miniscape-wh40k =)
or sculp dust, you showed that every mini is made from a Hand, so down to pices a Boltgun is recktangles and squares and (im out of word what is missing) in 40k you are my Joda! ;)
in musik im searcing for words...
CU
Excellent work on the mini and tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your kind words
Ah yes, the good old times when GW didnt think that you are a complete moron, and just gave you the rules for miniatures. Very nice paint job and cool conversion. Always liked Invictus when I saw him in the WD the first time for 3rd edition.
Thanks. Glad you liked it. I miss the times when there was some models with no rules so you had to kitbash them.
Blame chapterhouse studios. They won a lawsuit against gw where if rules existed but no models existed, then a 3rd party company could make models for those rules. All the fun conversions and extra rules disappeared overnight.
@@XYZdude00I'm not gonna blame Chapterhouse, and neither should anyone else, since:
1. It was GW who brought the lawsuits to them
2. GW hit them with so many lawsuits at once that, even though they won many of them, the legal fees and loses closed down a company that made great minis and bits
@@TheConchNorris I still am. They could have named their models "(not)doom of myceria" like everyone else, but no they had to be cool and use the official name
@@Miniscape-wh40k you made visons came true
1. Love these videos. They were recommended, and I feel the same about a 2nd edition dream army.
2. The proportions are so insane. His shpulders are as high or higher than his ears and behind his head. He has to be controlling them as mechanicarms with his arms in the chest area for it to make any sense.
Thanks! And yes he must be controlling them that way. But I think realism isn't something 40k entertains much, maybe only when it is convenient
@@Miniscape-wh40k I agree, and with art, it is about perspectives and blah blah blah... but his arms are above and behind his head ?!? Haha. You did great work.
Nicely done!
Thanks!
fine, fine job
😍
Great video as usual! A little tip for getting the Bluestuff moulds to line up perfectly, I usually push a Lego piece with a single stud into the corners of the first mould then when you mould the second piece onto it it helps it to locate perfectly! Nice trick with the paper btw!
Great idea. I will definitely use that in future!
@@Miniscape-wh40k You can also use something like domed head decorative metal nuts, of even a stick with a rounded end punched into half the mold in several areas.
@@IHateUA-camHandles615 great
@Modge17 yes, ich wollte nicht klugscheißern, the Arfix Builder does like that, see Greg ??
Thanks that you said it! together with the wet paper trick it would work well, may bee some more flexi smoth entering into form stuff?
thank you
CU
I did the double plasma pistol kitbash for my own termie captain as well
Suggestion when making your molds, We do this for making resin molds but it will work for what you are doing. Take some legos bricks and small Lego Base and use them to create a frame for the mold material which fills the frame. Then press in the part you are making a copy of. The legos help the mold hold its shape allowing you to get a better impression.
Yep
Very Nice Work. :)
Thanks buddy
That whole conversion made me glad I have a 3D printer.
but does using the software to create do not need much longer to use?
i think of buying a 3D Dings, but i have fear to get lost in time in constructing?
CU
Just binging all your videos. Just on my way to present day.
I hope you're having fun
@@Miniscape-wh40k they're very enjoyable :)
with the mould on the first half press the round edge of a paintbrush in 4 corners before it sets, when you do the other half they will form a key thatll help you line the mould up better in the future :)
Awesome
I'll be Damned, I have that Terminator captain missing the sword also, I put a lightning claw on mine 🎉
Nice
😍
@Bluecho4 please have the time to give a verry nice ;)
to make such a nice video takes plenty of time =)
thank you for your comment, it shows you liked it?
greetings from northern germany
I noticed that a couple of times in the vid the paint had been diluted so much that it was "splitting". Basically pulling back from the surface it was painted on. I find this is usually because the paint is old and there is too much water in it. I have resolved this using medium to thin the paint. It seems to thin down the colour without thinning the consistency which allows better control when painting. Do you use medium when thinning? May be try it if you don't for better coverage. Point reference in the vid to see what I mean is at 4.04 with the blue in particular. Just a thought.
Great work again! Will you be doing the other characters as well soon, or will there be other units inbetween? I really liked watching the conversion process 😎👍
Cheers. Glad you liked it. That could be it for the characters for now. There is one left in the codex, Ancient Helveticus, but that one appeals less to me. For this army I just want to finish my assault squad then I will leave it be. I have just added a dreadnought as well. But if I get the chance to add a land speeder, whirlwind or predator, I will definitely take the chance.
@@Miniscape-wh40k we will see =))
Great stuff as ever Matthew! Are you using that Chaplain as Cassius? Its a great fit with the bionic half head
Thanks mate. Yes he is meant to be Cassius. GW used that exact model for him in chapter approved in 2001.
For my gold Im using a tan then go over with vallejo air gold with 2 coats. But hey, if it works its perfect
Sounds great
Why is your paint runny like that on the first layer of primer? It happens to me too sometimes. Does anyone know why that is
I think it was slightly too much water the first time around
It's because it has been diluted and the primer is a smooth surface. The surface tension is too much for the paint to adhere to. If that happens you can add a little more paint to the mix or add a medium (lahmian, Vallejo thinner) to your mix. That stops the problem.
You can also give your model a quick coat of medium before painting. Happens to me sometimes as I use Tamiya Super Fine primer.
@@ZendegiLeonard tamiya i like =)
Cutting metal isn't as hard as many gamers make it out to be. Besides files and a scapel blade for clean up, you literally only need two tools for cutting metal: a jeweller's saw/coping saw and a bench vice grip. For most metal models, you can cut them without a bench vice grip.
Once the part has been cut and cleaned up you will need to use a pin vice with 1mm drill bit to drill a hole and a pin the parts together with either a brass rod or a paper clip.
Another common misconception is many gamers believe kit bashing is different from converting or scratch-building. It is not. Kit bashing is a type of conversion, where you swap pre-existing components with no modifications (i.e. no pinning, cutting, sawing, bending, sculpting, etc) in order to create something new. This can be as simple as a head or weapon swap or as complex as using parts from several models.
In the case of your video this is not a kit bash as not only did you make a cast of the right arm, but you also cut off the left forearm and pinned the modified power fist in place.
Today I learned
thank you for your tipp! i owned a small saw... BUT to build a new is so much better than sawing? maybe to use again Arm? =)
