- With The Praetorian Guard models from Games Workshop been a style/theme i dont feel they sell Armor that suits the army so this video is me kitbashing a ww1 scale model kit with some gw bits to make tanks that go better with the models. What do you think?

Try running it as a Malcador, mate.
It's basically a fatter and older Leman Russ.
You should see the 5.5" Gun Carrier from WW1. Now that's a Basilisk. Great video as always, I love using 1/35 kits for true scale vehicles.
Would be interesting to see the kitbashed 'true scale' against the cannon micro machine. Just so we can compare how out of scale they are. I always remembered thinking as I looked at the Rhino, there is literally no space for an engine or a driver, unless the imperium had in fact mastered tardis tech, not even enough room for the marines that allegedly can fit. So I understand the gripe and agree.
Just look up Warhammer 40k ARMA mods on you tube for that as they have made all the vehicles and units to scale ..... a friggian lemen Russ is basically a 1 story house on treads with its main turret popping up slightly higher that the houses roof as in a hull down position.
Aren't the engines supposed to be in the side panels of the rhino with the track units? It was my understanding that each exhaust led to a separate engine. Such would allow for a lack of transmission in the front, thus making room for the driver and his legs.
I love the idea of converting ww1 tanks into 40k, an youve done a cracking job with this one!
Been wanting to get started on one like this for a while, so ive been looking at re-colorised pictures of old ironclad battleships as the main thing stopping e is how much the ww1 colours clash with the praetorians.
That trapped under plastic backing though ;)
Again. Last video too
I must admit, Trapped Under Plastic is good to have on in the background when modelling.
@@Zadster dont forget other mini related podcasts like "hobby time in the murder basement" with Heath Aldrich, and "paint bravely" with Brent from Goobertown Hobbies and Casey from Ebay Miniature Rescues, "the everyother sunday show" with table top minions, and pretty much anything from Vince Venturella is long enough ;)
Great job kitbashing, 40k vehicles always look good if made from the WWI or interwar periods, and you got a workable scale.. I've used 1/56 and it works but is a little small . 1/48th is more common and fits 40k's heroic scale better with figures but though the 1/35th is considered too big I've found it really does scale the best with figures as a finished vehicle. All that needs to be done is for you and your opponent to agree to the vehicles stats, some will count as an existing vehicle but others work better as being less strong than a LeMan Russ but better than a Chimera. Anyone interested in scratch-buils/kitbashing will find this video very helpfull, thank you for posting it
Nice! but if you want the Victorian style, it supposed to be with more black and brass, wood, handles, candle-lamps and such. now it looks like a ww1 tank that fell into a time machine- too militant and not enough "English Gentlemen"... Ah, and add a smokestack! :-)
"Just glue some gears on it and call it steampunk"
You don't know what hell is until you've lived through Verdun!
Awesome job mate. Scratch built and kitbashed vehicles are the best.
I remember back in the 1990's when a Games Workshop/White Dwarf staffer converted an Emhar 1/35th scale WW1 British tank to a Dark Angels Land Raider. I've done the same myself, and it always turns out awesome when completed and painted, if a little expensive and time consuming, but well worth the time and effort. It always amazes people that you can mix parts from the two scales together to make something utterly unique (And that scares your opponent silly when it appears on the table :-D).
Fantastic video man, it's probably me being a bit out of touch with 40k kits these days but I didn't even realise the gun was 3d printed!
Awesome work, Luke. Makes me want to follow through on my plans for Skaven Dreadnoughts.
Amazing work and simple steps for using an airbrush. Exactly what I needed as a beginner airbrush user for my ork speed freaks! I’ll definitely be looking for this scale model to kitbash something orky.
Old 40k used to be about 1/72 height and 1/35 wide. We would use the 1/35 weapons and bits with the original beakie boxed set.
I’m loving those mini series already, it’s everything I’ve not got the balls to do 🤣 You could also widen the wheelbase of the tank slightly and essentially remove the top hull to have the Basilisk sit lower in the tank like an M7 Priest Howitzer Tank just with taller treads. Could use the same design for an open top troop carrier for the Chimera
Don’t forget Victoria Miniatures out of Oz and Curious Constructs (from Kirton Games) in the UK honestly I have enough bits from them to outfit many more Pretorians ...
Games Workshop: "Wait, that's Heresy!"
Ignore the Lore surrounding STC's, and every imperium faction turns into gorkamorka/mad max.
@@DubwiseJunglist if you're building your own versions of existing models, it fits fine with the stc lore, it's just a ""your homebrew Guard regiment here" pattern "imperial vehicle""
It's just like Vostroyans having their own "Vostroyan Pattern Lasgun".
I’ve used that base model as the chassis to an inquisitorial war cathedral:).
Yeah a lot of gamers and even painters were using a lot of non GW bits for their 40k stuff so GW made it a rule that official stuff has to use minimum 50% GW parts
@@adriannaranjo4397 I've always wondered what they meant by 50%. Is it by weight? Displacement? Or just the outer bits for the visuals?
I love the way this tank looks. I am about to start painting my Death Korps army. I hope you do a video and go more into the weathering you did on the tank!
Looks Great luke.Tank and figures look suited together .awsomme.
I was actually planning on doing a video about exactly this... damnit! hahaha!
Great vid luke, love the work :)
Spot on. Great choice of tank. This army is going to look brilliant when it’s on the table.
Brilliant Luke so many ideas have popped up thanks great video as always cheers
Loving these videos, looking forward to seeing this army take shape
Great vid once again bud.... on a side note I used some of your New Zealand fields ready to base flock on my army of the dead for Lotr and it looks bloody fantastic. Well happy....
You should be very happy with how that turned out mate, it looks awesome. Hope you are going to make a display board for your army when it’s complete. Would love to see it.
Top stuff 👍🏻
Very nice! I'm doing something similar using the Les Grognards box sets for troops and mixing in 3d printed tanks/artillery along with modified Warlord kits like Char b1s for light tanks (Chimera variants). I'm debating on what to use for the Russes but I like how your Basilisk came out. Might go that route! Thanks for the video!
Nicely done. I've seen a few people convert 1/35 scale U.S. M113 ACAV into assorted Rhino variants. It worked shockingly well.
Interesting. I just got into doing this last week. Already made two ork dakkajets from 1/72 ww2 planes and leftover ork heads and arms for the pilot and crew, and used cardstock and sprue to make the plane look proppa orky. Super fun!!
The scale of that tank is spot on. Looks great. Please keep them coming
Thank you , Luke ,
Luv-Luv-Luv .
Can not wait for the next episode in this army's build ,
Cracking kit-bash Luke! Suggest you check out the Emhar Tadpole kit which is the same kit plus additional parts for a tail extension with a mortar platform. Would either give you the option for a longer bodied tank or provide spare armour plating and spare track for the farty stage. If you thought that old Emhar kit has a lot of parts take a look at some recent Meng releases, so many parts that the box lid goes right back on in despair!
You could use the hull of the M113 APC or Bradley IFV for some of the space marine tanks. Like the Predator or Stalker.
This is quite epic! I've been playing around with the idea of doing a kinda similar army. this may have given me the push
Class work as ever. Thanks for all the content over the years, I wouldn’t send anyone anywhere else for hobby advice.
I love the fact that you utilized the pistol port on the sponson. Excellent stuffs
There are also a couple early WW2 vehicles worth looking at for your army.
The British 25 Pounder Gun and Quad Chevrolet (a quirky looking lorrie).
British Universal Carrier Mk.II.
750kg Fordson truck.
Russian T-28 and T-35 (super quirky with multiple turrets)
Great job on the tank!!
Looks great! Can't wait to see more of the army!!
19th century wooden gun carriages for your squad heavy weapons would be great conversions. You could convert Perry Miniatures stuff with Imperial Guard heavy bolters, autocannons etc.
I use that model tank kit for a few 40k projects :).
I'm missing your epic unique board builds! I've built almost every board you've done and it's awesome! Keep it up luke!
@@GeekGamingScenics all good! Wish you the best!
I got the same kit! You are giving me ideas. Can't wait for the Russ
A "Schwerer Gustav" kitbash would be interesting:)
Great build!
I've never found scale model kits to blend in particularly well with 40k's 'heroic' scale. Overly detailed and just too realistic looking, which makes the official models alongside them pretty derpy. However scale model company Meng does a range of 'toon' tanks - some of which are plain ridiculous looking, but others are pretty cool. Like the matilda, kv2, t34, tiger, pershing, panther, somua, I can picture them in a Guard army. And they're cheap too!
I think I've seen people use them as Grot tanks if I'm not mistaken.
Listen buddy we don't stick ya dorky orks on our tigers for a reason..... 😜 Nein Nein Nein
Awesome find, thank you!
I did an Ork army years ago using 1/35 Interwar vehicles I got cheap from the sale bin in my local model shop. Scale up perfectly like you say, but with better proportions. Also a model was about half the price of a GW equivalent.
That dose look a little like a malcador from Forgeworld.
I love this, you're tempting me to build some 40k stuff again. Damn you! :D
Do it... dooo it ahaha
Looking Good 👍. I imagine this as an Archaic STC
A great start to the army!!
Mate, loving this series of vids so far, can I make a suggestion? For the chimeras, personally I'd opt for an A7V, German ww1 tank that's basically a big box, or a later MkVIII (I think) which is what you've got there only far longer. Reason being, I'm fully onboard with the citadel vehicles not being sized appropriately and squeezing ten blokes into the mkV would be a squeeze...
That looks fantastic, good effort! :D
Truly awesome project, my brother! This tank looks Ace with those Guard!
~ Wolfbrother Methos
That looks absolutely awesome!
love it! It came out awesome! keep up the awesome content.
Great idea. I always think of the 40k vehicles' scale as off and odd, too.
Anyway, I would have added more Imperial insignas on the sides, like a big Aquila or something like that.
It would be interesting to see you tackle custom decals for the vehicles. It would bring that level of realism and tie the squadrons together.
Hello. I think the M3 Lee from the second WW would go great for GW with a little converting. Over size guns are easy to fit. All the best.
Yeah, I've seen these used often as a Leman Russ Stand-In, since its one of the few historical tanks with a turret and a hull cannon.
@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 Never seen one converted but I would like to.
brilliant Luke, love it
Your army is going to look fantastic!!!
Great conversion! Wish we could get these in the states.
This is fantastic pal. I am really enjoying how you have gone and really riffed you’re own creativity off the back of the inspiration from Trent over on Miscast to bosh out your Praetorian army. Enjoyable vid to watch this. Do you have any suggestions on kits for SM players looking to try this on Rhino and Land Raider style hulls?
I love how ridiculous the gun is but it’s just plain cool! Buzzing for the next episode!
Very very nice! Another couple suggestions would be some tanks from Model Collect - Fist of War line. They're "what if" models and use german tank chassis but with legs! Or use an Evangelion model for an Eldar knight :)
I'd recommend a UA-camr called Night Shift, his whol channel is scale model tanks. I like how he add additional textures to the models with Tamiya Paste.
Very nice, looks bang on mate 💥😃👍🏼
Have a look at the french tank ARL44 it was designed during ww2 after the occupation in secret it has a very ww1 look to it and I think it would make a much better leman russ. Also the tog 2 would suit the guard I think. There’s a few other early Ww2 french tanks u should look at to such as the char b1/2. I so wanted that army back in the day. Loving your work with them.
Very nice hybrid between grimdark and WW1, for scenery purposes you could even do a grimdark blimp
That would be so SICK!! Maybe use a blimp model as a Valkyrie 😍
it looks really good, i reckon it would have looked even better with the howitzer partially recessed down in the hull.
Freakin' aces! Looks great Luke.
Idk why I just noticed now, but you've come a long way with your videos. Keep up the great work
id love to see you kitbash a 40k version of the ww1 whippet light tanks or even the ft-17 imho.
Very cool! Recommend drilling your gun barrels and grenade launcher tubes. Even a shallow hole adds depth (woohoo, punny!).
The channel looks so dope right now!
To add some variation to your tanks, I'd recommend seeing if you like the look of Whippets, ft17's and a7vs and see if you find some good kitbashing inspo (this video really got me thinking about whether or not I should divert somewhat from xenos and build a DKoK army and kitbash a load of stuff)
@@GeekGamingScenics ahh I must've misheard, keen as to see the upcoming videos
I came up with a new Land Raider variant. The land raider excelsior, it has a twin heavy bolter and 2 twin multi meltas, it can transport 5 soldiers
No way, I had the exact same model kit when I was a kid (about 20yrs ago) and did the exact same sponson swap, great minds.
Mate that was awesome! I used to use modern Russian APC vehicles....like the BMP1 or 2 as the basis for my Valhallan army. I did try a WW2 American M3A1 Stuart light tank with different Russ turrets for my Chadians but that never got far. Can’t wait to see what else you add to this army! Cheers for sharing!
Looks awesome keep it coming
The leman Russ design was based on the MKV so a perfect fit.
Couple of markings on the tank might work to add a nice bit of contrast. Unit markings. A name maybe?
Brilliant mate. Starting to look very Jeff Wayne's war of the worlds 😁👍
Beautiful tank!
This is fantastic work dude.
Would love to see some Sentinels and how you would add the WW1 theme.. maybe Steampunk inspired? But
Please keep going! I wanna see this army completed. 👊
You can get suitable Praetorian guards from them as well 19th century victorian rorke's drift British infantry.
You should check out the meng model world war toons tanks, I've done some fun conversions with them. The heavy tanks are about leman Russ scale and they give a fun look and a change of pace.
nice work, a Mk IV "Tadpole" might be good for a Basalisk, from the same manufacturer
Looks very cool. Definitely would love to see your take on a Valkyrie. I’m making a WW2 style valhalan army and jet aircraft don’t seem roght
That sound very cool!
Hi Luke! Lpve the pratorian guard army, building a steel legion army myself atm! Im in the process of making a game board at the moment, and I was wandering if you could make a video or tutorial on how to make really realistic craters? keep up the great work!
I'm thinking of getting this for my birthday
Looks fantastic chap
loving these mind big man
This is amazing. I love this.
You can emulate history again to make a Griffon by using the Mk IV Tadpole. It carried a mortar on a rear platform.
A great video as always Luke. Where did you buy the kit? When I do a quick search the prices are way up there with GW and more.
Hi Luke I hope your well.
Is there any chance you could do a review on that little airbrush kit.
The size of them have always out me off and that looked nice and compact
Nice one mate
Looks quality. Fully agree with the scale issue!
Ooooh bloody awesome! Fits the army quite well! How about...Magnets, so you can change it from a RUSS to a BASILISK to a CHIMERA? It is seldom that you get to have all the tanks in a game. (Besides apocalypse)
This is the second time I have seen Trapped Under Plastic in a Mini UA-camrs Video
That Basilisk reminds me of the WW1 stuff in The Darkness videogame. Love the look.
By the way, Luke. I'm designing and working on Legion of the Damned army. I am thinking about using cracklepaste or similar paint from Citadel or someone else for creating a cracked texture (lavalike) on their armor. So heat/fire would be showing through. I understand that that those need to be applied heavily. Any advice on a thin version?
Cheers
Awesome! I love it!
