These look awesome! The one thing about the original aggressors is they just look like they're walking along with their arms by their sides, these look much more dynamic. The only small thing to make the bolters look more bolterish is maybe have the barrels slightly longer, with that classic muzzle brake looking hole drilled in the side. Only a small suggestion though
Right? The inceptors have the same (albeit worse) problem. Having a ranged weapon in each arm not only looks unwieldy (regardless of lore), it straight up limits the posing. GW should do what they did with the stormcast, and give some primaris kits a refresh.
I do regret not doing more with the muzzle, but I’m still quite happy with how they turned out :) And fear not brothers, I’ve got a solution for the inceptors in the works! Thanks for watching :)
Nice looking models and a great conversion! I have to say that I really appreciate the clear view of the models at the end! I find it that these days many 40k content creators tend to use hyper edited shots with smoke effects and colored lights to make their minis look "cooler" but in this video you have enough time and focus to really enjoy the models. Cheers! :)
I really dig that conversion with yhe reaper autocannon! Thats very creative and im most certainly going to use it somewhere, as i love those underslung weapon styles.
Removing the 'hood' from gravis armour improves it greatly. I did the same on my Dark Imperium captain. I also removed the hoses from the back of the legs, they're an unnecessary detail if you ask me.
Another really cool conversion! I love the look of the boltgun, as they clearly represent the twin-Linked aspect of the boltstorm gauntlets. Furthermore, i love How long you leave the beauty shots of your videos, leaves enough time for us watching i 2x speed;)
These look brilliant mate, these were the first of the Primaris models that I couldn't get behind along with the Inceptors, felt like goofy Starcraft imitations. Much more brutal and astartes appearance now, also love the asymmetry ⚡⚡⚡
If they were flame Aggressors with the hose/tank those weapons could be a great base for a multi melta conversion, if only they were so equipped. Great project, love the unique take on these.
I dig the conversion! However, I would recommend going over the areas painted with the plastic cement with a fine sanding stick. Helps to even out the surface.
Really like these, the assault cannon / heavy bolter terminator look suits them much more than the Marneus Coolguy double power fist single aux bolter design
Maybe I'm an old fogey, but I just look at these and think "oh, I get it, they're terminators, kinda?" Your conversion is undeniably cooler, but I still struggle to think of what their thematic niche is meant to be. Vanguard marines I get, it's lighter power armor, something we never really had before - but heavier power armor? Again that's, uh, that's what terminators are. Thematically, I mean. Obviously you can slap whatever stats onto whatever model GW pumps out to justify internal list balancing, I'm more talking about the overall army design philosophy.
I feel like they were originally supposed to replace terminator armour but then GW realised that they probably shouldn’t do that, leaving them in this awkward spot. So I think you’re absolutely right brother
I would never have considered the crenellations on the gorget, and that is why I am not an Imperial Fists player, awesome idea. My only complaint about this conversion is that the barrels look really short for where the ejection ports are, it’s like a sawn-off heavy bolter-I would look for some spare heavy bolter barrels somewhere and attach them right where your barrels end.
@ConversionBeam I must have a Gladiator Lancer with tracks! I look at my Impulsor with a worried eye, as it must be possible to convert those blasted grav plates to continuous tracked treads, but I lack the knowledge, skill, and bits, to make it happen! And, frankly, I'm a crap modeler and painter without a plan (took months of planning and notetaking before I started snipping the sprue of my first mini). BUT YOU! You have the tools! You have the talent! So, consider this the first vid of me asking for a track conversion of an Impulsor/Gladiator! Keep being awesome!😁
@@ConversionBeam well that is awesome to hear! Bell was already rung a while ago, so I'll just be over here waiting patiently and enjoying your content! 😁
the conversion is super impressive, but i feel they are more a small version of the terminator than true aggressor. aggressor are means to be a frontline unit, mostly here for endure, they have the bolter and flamer for attack at range, but the dual powerfist it's where they get them power as frontliner. they will shoot at medium range and when enemy arrive at melee, the gravis armor give them survivability while them dual powerfist allows them to deliver punishement to the enemy that did try to go to melee. i can understand why people feel that aggressor have a weird place, but gravis armor is kinda easier to get than terminator. they fill the place of heavy frontliner when the 1st company isn't there for this. but that don't change the fact that it look badass as conversion.
love the castle comparison to the neck line, only critique is the bonding studs look very large and bulbous, maybe make about half the size? Great work though! Personally im working on getting some crusader squads to kitbash my Dark Angels Scouts and Intercessors/Hellblasters.
These are so cool! I recently picked up aggressors in a combo box and I'm not a fan, I've been deliberating over how to convert them for days, this video is a great visualisation of what I've been thinking about! The A-symmetrical weapons are way cooler, I think I'm going to go with the HH heavy bolter upgrade so it's a little smaller, but these look incredible!
Your converted bolt weapons do look more powerful but thats because you stuck with what you cut off for the gun barrels which look a lot larger implying a greater caliber of round being used. Maybe some extra small styrene tubiing to shrink down the diameter of the barrels would help. However I think they look great well done.
They look great if you were to see them on there own merit but I would say they don’t match the original profile but I would go with the rule of cool when playing them
I've always hate the look of the storm weapons on the gauntlets, just these ugly things mounted askance of their hands. Neither like the old terminator wrist bolters or the Calgar/Guilliman under-arm bolters. Your conversion fixes that.
I feel the thing that's missing that would have taken this conversion to the next level would be if they all had servo arms with power fists added to the end for the twin linked fist wysiwyg.
why would you need to use a dull knife to remove the mold lines when the top of the blade has a built in scraper for removing mold lines, its a feature of the blade already so you can use the same sharp knife spin it and use the top of the blade to remove the mold line.
I love Gravis armor- But the double fist bolters has always been Calgars thing, and having that on regular dudes, kinda takes away from Calgars coolness.
I understand that you need to make video titles eye-catching, but I really dislike how a lot of your titles are either subtly or overtly shitting on the GW designs.
I do attempt to word it so it doesn’t come off that way since I do actually love GWs designs for the most part and only seek to present alternative ideas for inspiration, but maybe I can try a bit harder in the future. I appreciate your understanding though as well as the feedback Brother :)
Neat conversion! Ben thinking of using autocannon armed terminators to represent aggressors but can't justify the price of 6 autocannons like this ;-; (background music is a bit loud still tho)
Great results, those boltguns are over the top in just the right ways. You need a better set of clippers, get some knockoff Godhands like some Stedi and you'll never look back.
I'd say Votann Hearthguard have a similar problem where their poses are kinda eh, and their guns feel kinda...pistol-looking. Big armor guy needs big gun!
Some great techniques for Iron Hands or any mechanical looking chapter. Good stuff. To make your life easy though, get a better set of clippers. Something like Godhand clippers cut like butter and leave less chunks and stress marks.
Just got recommended this vid today by the algorithm and ended up going back and watching all your previous ones too. Great job on the conversions and on pushing yourself out of your comfort zones and trying new things, they look great and your chapter scheme is very cool aswell. liked and subbed, look forward to seeing more
They feel much more like classic devastators now
Is that a good thing? I think that’s a good thing
@@ConversionBeam yes sir, very good

Glad I could be of help brother :)
@@DuxDamnatio I know I wanna borrow the idea
Removing the 'hood' from gravis armour improves it greatly. I did the same on my Dark Imperium captain. I also removed the hoses from the back of the legs, they're an unnecessary detail if you ask me.
I didn’t think of removing those, that’s a great idea, maybe I’ll give it a try for my heavy intercessors, thanks brother :)

Furthermore, i love How long you leave the beauty shots of your videos, leaves enough time for us watching i 2x speed;)
Thanks brother, I do aim to please :)
looks much cooler than the original ones, the chunky weapons give the feeling of power and fit these ones really well
I’m glad you agree brother, thanks for watching
The whole time I was thinking "nah" but then I saw them assembled, and now I have to change to "YEAH"
Those look awesome, definitely using them as a basis for my homebrew’s aggressors
That paint scheme is CLEAN AF very good conversion!!!
Glad you like it brother!
These look brilliant mate, these were the first of the Primaris models that I couldn't get behind along with the Inceptors, felt like goofy Starcraft imitations. Much more brutal and astartes appearance now, also love the asymmetry ⚡⚡⚡
Come to think of it, the original models do look a bit StarCraft aye, thanks for watching brother
As someone who has played an ungodly amount of Mass Effect , I'm getting flashbacks from the music. Great videa mate, easy clear instruction. Love it.
I am 100% gonna replicate these for my confessors army, they look amazing
They’d look sick as Confessors, best of luck brother :)
I love this. The crenelations idea is fantastic!
If they were flame Aggressors with the hose/tank those weapons could be a great base for a multi melta conversion, if only they were so equipped. Great project, love the unique take on these.
Looks sweet. The flamestorm version look sweet too 😊
This vid making me and my brother wanting aggressors now and replicate this. Amazing work!
Do it! I believe in you!
This giving me great ideas for my homebrew
I dig the conversion! However, I would recommend going over the areas painted with the plastic cement with a fine sanding stick. Helps to even out the surface.
I like the mechanicus music at the end
I did pretty much the same for my Salamanders Aggressors, even went with mk3 helmets too! They look so much better than standard ones.
Very cool conversion AND paint scheme! We definitely need a tutorial for that too!
Goodness, I’ll need to get good at painting before doing any tutorials! But I’m glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :)
Really like these, the assault cannon / heavy bolter terminator look suits them much more than the Marneus Coolguy double power fist single aux bolter design
Coolest Aggressors I've seen, well done man

Looks soooo good so much better than the originals! Incredible ❤
Thanks mate, glad you think so :)
Hearing ME2 OST was… quite nostalgic.
And great conversion, btw
Suprised people were able to pick up on it, thanks for watching :)
The agressors get an extra ap when shooting the closest target. And these look like a heavy storm bolter I think they fit.
hey i just found your channel IM 5 years into the hobby and im a relative noob when it comes to the fun ideas of conversions
These turned out great! You might have a point about the how powerful the gun feels, but "rule of cool" wins in my book
Glad you agree brother, thanks for watching :)

Thanks brother, best of luck with the bash, would love to see how they turn out :)

100% better than original great job! If I ever beat my pile I shame I will be back
I’m glad you think so, best of luck for when you get around to it
What I think of these conversions? Well, they made me subscribe to your channel and be curious on what else there is
Thanks brother! Much appreciated :)
those are epic. subscribed.
I actually love the original Aggressors, but I have to admit, this conversion is fantastic. I may have to get some more and try this out!
Thanks brother, I hope you do :) would love to see how they turn out
Excellent well done 👍
Conversion Beam is a genius name for a channel like this
Thanks brother, I’m glad you think so :)
10/10 Amazing look.

great! better than new terminator, imho, thanks
THESE LOOK BADASS
Thanks brother :)
If the iron warriors were loyalist this is how I’d think they’d look. Freakin awesome
Not sure if I should feel about that, but thanks for watching Brother :)
this conversion makes me want to run Aggressors in my list now
Do it!
Agressors really should have just taken the spot of centurions, with grav guns to pair with the grenade launchers
Another banger dropping in 👀😌🙏
Nice.
It's really cool. You should make your chapter master
One day brother, one day
@@ConversionBeam Also i am definitly doing that captain kitbash you did, but for my salamanders
They look great
So much cooler than the originals ! :o
Very nice
1000% better! Beast mode.
Great job ! I like it
So good
these came out wonderfully, I think the biggest reason is the Helmets.
giving me way too many ideas here
MkIII really suit Gravis armour suprisingly well, thanks for watching brother
Mmmmmmmm Agressors my beloved
Mass effect Citadel OST

Nice Conversion and a great paint job. Where did you get the chapter markings from?
Got them custom made from I beleive skumbag customs
Aw Frick yeah I love aggression!
I think this is the wrong video
you mean aggressors? right? RIGHT?
I've always hate the look of the storm weapons on the gauntlets, just these ugly things mounted askance of their hands. Neither like the old terminator wrist bolters or the Calgar/Guilliman under-arm bolters.
Your conversion fixes that.
ça donne beaucoup ide de conversion pour remplacer les petit tir de bolters
I'll be honest if I was on the opposing side of those I would be soiling myself immediately.
Well let’s hope you’ve been keeping up with your worship of the Emperor
Thanks for watching brother :)
Here GW, watch and learn ;) these are beatiful models, sir. I imagine desolators would look far better woth such kitbash with aggressors bita.
As in Gravis armoured desolation marines? That would actually be pretty dope
I feel the thing that's missing that would have taken this conversion to the next level would be if they all had servo arms with power fists added to the end for the twin linked fist wysiwyg.
That would be intense, but we like intense
yes crude brutal industrial .this is 40k
I’m glad you agree, thanks brother :)
why would you need to use a dull knife to remove the mold lines when the top of the blade has a built in scraper for removing mold lines, its a feature of the blade already so you can use the same sharp knife spin it and use the top of the blade to remove the mold line.
I find the dull knife gives me the exact amount of control I’m looking for, I suppose it’s down to preference, thanks for watching brother :)
Remove the imperialis... Heresy!!!
Please don’t tell the inquisition
5 nipplz -omg!
Too feed the neophytes
I love Gravis armor-
But the double fist bolters has always been Calgars thing, and having that on regular dudes, kinda takes away from Calgars coolness.
Never actually thought about it that way, you make a really good point
Whats the background music?
mass effect illusive man theme
@@DrShankyy I knew I knew it from somewhere. it was bugging me the entire video.
Also a bit of music from mechanicus if you were wondering :)
Nah, the OG's are miles better.
Those are fabulous. The guns look great. Only thing im not sold on are the bonding studs.
you made regular terminators and they lost that something, but the painting is very nice

🔥🎸🔥
Nice job. That's a fantastic conversion.
Very cool channel. Thanks, it's refreshing and inspirational! What do you think of the superglu with brush ? Does it clog after a while ?
Great results, those boltguns are over the top in just the right ways.
You need a better set of clippers, get some knockoff Godhands like some Stedi and you'll never look back.
Man, that Mechanicum OST really slaps no matter what it's put to for 40k content.. Great conversions, they look sick
I'd say Votann Hearthguard have a similar problem where their poses are kinda eh, and their guns feel kinda...pistol-looking. Big armor guy needs big gun!
I like this conversion of the Aggressors. They look like they're halfway between a terminator and devestator.
Basically what GW did to the Tau broadside. Oversized paired gauntlet weapons don't suit everyone.
Those guys look great. I particularly like how the massive Bonding Studs give the armour a bit of a Dalek vibe.
I will try to copy this. They look fucking radical
Some great techniques for Iron Hands or any mechanical looking chapter. Good stuff. To make your life easy though, get a better set of clippers. Something like Godhand clippers cut like butter and leave less chunks and stress marks.

you might find a hobby saw comes in very handy for various things compared to cutting with a knife or nippers
Holy shit dude this is amazing, honestly might make these instead of buying terminators
Put another gun and you get primaris centurions
That TIM theme in the background is chefs kiss
