Those look nice, too bad I used all my extra comms arms on other kitbashes.
I'll be using Intercessors with Grenade Launchers and Scopes, with the larger box Launchers directly center of their power packs, keeping the Devastator scopes on the shoulder, and giving them antenna heads.
I liked the way the Titans did their Dwsolators, but not that it cost the Devastator lens. I will try and stick the pods on the outside of the launcher boxes to see if they can be salvaged.
Only so many Phobos Kits I can take apart for kitbashes, lmao.
The code does not seem to work. Tried it on a 160€ order and was told it's "not applicable".
I actually watched the whole ad!
you need to have 2 extra addons in your cart and it subtracts the price off them from the total@@TheSarge23
@@adamparent1570aaaaah! Thank you. :)
I think if they were originally designed as gravis, with the poses reflecting the sheer weight of their guns, they’d be a lot more popular.
I agree, but I think the issue is that they didn't want to give them a gravis stat line tbh
They would, but the guns would still be an absolute mess that drag them down. Altering the guns is a must for any desolation squad kitbash imo, everything else is secondary.
I still think their weapons would also need to be less "forward heavy". No matter how strong the power armor makes the marine, the base weapons just make it look critically off-balance. Not to mention it doesn't "read" as a rocket launcher in a manner we as a culture are all accustomed to.
The problem was always that it wasn't carried on the shoulder, like older rocket launcher marines did.
Gravis armour, underslung guns. Boom, fixed.
@@gigapuddithej change the weapons. Have them brace them rather than holding them like pistols!
Exactly what this unit needed,makes them feel more unique than just “5 guys with rocket launchers”
It seems like everybody designs these guys better than GW did, but this take is by far my favorite. Well done.
The addition of ipads is pure genius. I can totally see them directing missiles from pads like a drone pilot!
I feel like it could be fun to take the 2 halves of the quad frag launcher, and put them under the arms of an intercessor, like underslung missile pods, the rest could go on the backpack.
I love underslung arm weapons.
Would love to see a sternguard veteran done for this chapter style.
Me too, and imo, they must be in a Mor Deythan style. Various options, every answer for every treat
Constantly humbled by the quality of the kitbashing and painting. I hope to be this skilled some day.
Great video. If I ever make these guys, I think I’ll replace the sergeant’s bolt pistol with a phosphor pistol, that way he has a flare gun to help target moving enemies.
Pure art, my friend. This interpretation of the unit makes so much more sense.
Id love to see you kitbash a raptors dreadnought/warsuit or to kitbash malum caedo
This is great take on the design! The big issue was always the scale of the guns compared to the intercessors. I still think it would of been better if they put in Gravis armor so the bulky armor makes up for the oversized weapons.
This is definitely an improvement on the original but i still like the shoulder mounted pose from the tactical squad the best.
I would love to see a chaplain next.
The space marine mortar team look is a million times better
The best conversion for Raptor design and spirit I had ever seen. Thanks a lot. Superb.
I like the position of the missiles. It gives an indirect fire vibe like javelin missiles.
Very nice. Seems like a lot of work but the results are well worth it. The resulting silhouettes are very unique, and all the targeting tablets make their role clear.
These raptor models are getting better and better!
I knew you of all people would have a tutorial on exactly what I was thinking for my raptors.
This is one of my favorite conversions of yours. Such an improvement but done in a really immersive and believable way.
Possibly the coolest take on these guys. You, sir, are a *genius*
Really cool. Much cooler than what I did which was just five intercessors with Horus heresy missile launchers
That has to be one of the best sponsored segments I've seen.
Well done! The squad looks amazing!
I found some 3d printed bits on Etsy that did something similar, but they turned the rifle into a high capacity bolter with a large targeting array built in that directed the back-mounted krak missiles.
I'm in love, amazing work.
This looks really good. In the same way terminators are in 'tactical dreadnought armour' its like these guys have 'tactical whirlwind' weapons
they are literally perfect. youre insanely good.
Man, this is awesome. Like you mentioned, there have been a lot of takes of this ame concept, but I think yours is the most fitting I've seen for Raptors.
Absolutely stellar work! Makes me actually want to pick up a set now!
Perfectly done. Been waiting to see these so I can have a go myself
Great take on the squad, looks far better
Awesome, I am glad you modified this set
They look incredible
Looks awesome!
LOVE all the raptors videos!
That was possibly the best ad segment I've seen in a video! Also I've been loving this Raptor series, cracking kitbash :)
massive improvement
These look great Pete!
I really like the idea of mounting the missiles on the shoulders rather than a rifle-style grip. I wonder how it would have looked if the two larger missiles were mounted to opposite shoulders.
These are really great man! Nice
Love this conversion, this and the centurion one are my faves
I'm amazed by your creativity
Wow these must be the first desolation marines I actually like! Good job!
Looks so much better
this is my favorite take thus far on custom desolation marines. I especially like that you used the provided launchers instead of designing your own guns from the ground up. It makes these feel more real in the context of the game since you're not breaking away and designing something wholly original. This instead feels like something that is perfectly feasible for a chapter to have actually done in-lore, and in that regard, fits perfectly with The Raptors on yet another level. Great work!
I like it! For the ones that played Ground Control, it reminds me of the Templar torpedo infantry, but with the 40k aesthetic. Nice job!
It’s so funny that the best way to alter Desolators is to either straight up remove the “rocket launcher machine guns” from their hands like this or just don’t field them at all.
Amazing results as always.
So good and so necessary
Fantastic work !!!
Sweet jesus, didn't see this coming when I started watching. Amazing work.
These are amazing and I wish they came in a box like this.
Love them! Excellent work
You fixed that GW never did right in the first place. This must be the best conversion I have seen out there! Good work as always Pete!👍🏻
I definitely feel if this was the original design, these guys would be beloved.
Great kit bash prolly going to steal it myself
This gives me a lot of ideas for a fun Crimson Fists force
Love them!
I've also seen other kitbashers rather neatly glom those awful launchers together the old devastator shoulder missiles and the horus heresy ones. They look almost 60 - 70% better!
Sick as always.
I'd go further to add a servo skull to act as a sort of recon drone that helps the Marine target the rockets/missiles even more accurately
Such a cool idea
Much better visually and more logical. Very Raptor-y.
The color scheme gives me Starbug vibes and I love it
Yours is by far the best looking in my opinion
While cartoonish big guns is synonymous with Marines, backpack mounted artillery also sounds wildly 40k, harkening back to Cyclone Missile Terminators.
I always imagined Intercessors with a normal shoulder slung rpg when I thought of a redesign of these guys.
I like yours a lot too.
Would make me consider grabbing a box.
Welcome back!!!! Hope all is well 🙏🏾
These look so much better than the original kit! These videos always inspire me to raid the bits box and make my models truly my own
Noice, keep it up I'm enjoying watching all your Raptors videos while I paint my own Raptors 5th company force.
This kit has to be one of the most kitbashed I've seen.
Yourself and the guy that makes terrariums sound so bloody similar.
I love how goofy the giant boxes on their backs look
That's a really cool conversion. For my own I bought all of Bits and Kits stock of First Born missil launcher arms from the Tactical and Demolisher squads and fitted the bits around a shoulder fired launcher. It looks much beter than they previusly did
These really are just superior in every way to the original designs
This is such a better design!!
Excellent!
I’d have loved to have seen the launchers applied to the back pack horizontally with the target array screen on the opposite shoulder off centre of the marines head (as if they are able to look at it but without it blocking their vision of what is in front of them). Am I capable of doing that kind of kit-bash? Absolutely not. Part of the reason why it’s so enjoyable watching someone who is so skilled. Keep up the good work.
I don't have the skills to do this with plastic and knife work, but this video has inspired me to recreate these almost perfectly for 3D printing. I love things that lean more into the Astartes being freakishly smart, so carrying around missiles to best calculate trajectories really hits that mark for me. Best reimagining of this unit by FAR.
I think a Raptors Dreadnought would be a nice addition.
Very nice I could easily imagine these guys moving up behind a forward unit getting into position with their hands free to pull themselves over barricades and wreckage and maintaining cover as much as possible as their weapons fire and arch hitting the enemy hard.
you a beast man, congrats on the great customs
Do you think you'll be doing a "Raptors on parade" soon? To show your progress on your army thus far?
this is the best version of the Desolation Marines I ever seen. this kitbash is so good GW should make you kit bash the official
Arguably the leader's single tube launcher looks better as a hand operated item. But I agree that the rest are much improved.
that was a good ad lol, cool vid too as always :D
Love the "bulking" of the squad... I think for some indirect fire guys they look amazing.
Just read the Raptor article in the White Dwarf Nr. 494 and baam... New Raptors from you... Love the Raptor Kitbash.
Beautiful ! Your creations and your editing skills never stop getting better
I love dreadnoughts and it would be wonderdul to see you design a Raptor Dreadnought
This is maybe the third fourth time I've seen this video and honestly I think you actually did a better design, then the majority of the designs I've seen I've seen them do the left I've seen him do the middle but the right side actually seems a little bit acceptable. And with that I love your paint scheme for the Raptors.
They definitely should have designed them with over the shoulder weapons. This looks so much better
I love it! I still think the guns are hanging off a tiny bit awkwardly from their backpacks, but I think I know what I will be doing for my guys.
This is EXACTLY the way I expected and was hoping for, but was left disappointed. This is how I am doing mine, also.
Anything Raptors is just amazing to me! As is your skill...
I LOVE it when Space Marines look like soldiers who are the product of war and not players on game day.
A vast improvement on the design 😊
It looks like if you put the castellan launcher on the top of the pods you could have some facing more forward for just some additional different poses. I might try that
Those are some nice looking Zakus
The only thing I think could improve this style of kitbashed desolation marines would be a couple on one knee as they launch a rocket or something. Maybe some heavy intercessor legs for a little extra grounded bulk.
Wow Pete, amazing concept and great execution. These guys look incredible!!! Better than the originals by miles.
One of my first thoughts for the desolation marines, was to separate the grenade launcher entirely from the weapons. I was considering to make it a ground 'mortar' style weapon. Marine carries it, drops it on the ground and orients it to the enemy. A second thought process recently, was whether the lower weapon assembly would do well linked together with a bolt rifle as a separate combi weapon. In both cases, the rail and upper missile sections would be slung off the backpack for the more 'indirect fire' look.
I really like the VLS approach and the 'Ipad' wrist computer look. Personally I don't think it even needs the smaller multi missile pack at all and some could even be carrying slung bolt carbines.
