    Given that we're also getting some Eldar Corsairs, it might be neat to see a similar kitbash using those and the Dark Elf Corsairs from Age of Sigmar. They're both pirates, after all.

    I think a guide to making custom genestealer cults would be amazing! I hate how every cult is just miners and stuff, it would be amazing to see variations in designs!

    • @Del_S
      @Del_S 2 роки тому +9

      I feel like using Necromunda stuff as a hive populace could be a good starting point. They'd also maybe work for custom Poxwalkers or Cultists for Chaos.

      I've been thinking about a genestealer of aeldari for some time.
      Like gsc heralds picked humans, but what if they wanted to assimilate Eldar or ork or summat

    • @nickpavluk6319
      @nickpavluk6319 2 роки тому +1

      I've wanted to see a conversion of genestealer cults into chaos cultists, with possessed cult members taking the place of genestealers, beastmen abhumans taking the place of abberants and so on.

      @Del S genestealers meet House Delacque. An underground union of subterfuge. Also, that flesh tearing gang torsos would fit genestealers well.

    Man! Kitbashes like this make me so happy! These look to me like, if some craftworld eldar lived on a planet permanently and therefor got rid of some of the space suit astetic. Really great job!

  • @euansmith3699
    @euansmith3699 2 роки тому +19

    Very cool. The Lumineth look to owe a lot to the art style of Moebius. The Bullheaded Helmets could look cool with the Bullheads cut off them, and the tops filled flat or domed. This looks to be a rich vein of bitz to be mined for cool Craftworld/Exodite conversions. Thanks for another interesting video. The freehand skull face is very nicely executed.

    • @te9591

    One of the things that always interested me about 40k were alien genestealers. It never made sense that a whole subspecies of the tyranids can only ever work on humans. What happens when a genestealer cult takes on the T'au populace? What about ork genestealers, (or "greenstealers.") Wouldn't taking elements of the ork genealogy be useful to the hive as a whole somewhere down the line, even if not for full scale infiltration?

    • @tombombadil9338
      @tombombadil9338 2 роки тому +7

      Not sure about the other races, but I think it's canon that Orks can easily detect GS and usually kill them.

    • @lightningwolf788
      @lightningwolf788 2 роки тому +6

      Most races have biological or psychic measures. Orks can tell who's not greenskin enough, the powerful Aeldari psychic network detects mutants almost instantly, T'au tech basically insta-scans them as a threat, etc. Ork Genestealers were a thing before, the Genestealer Patriarch basically has to catch one of these races in a group outside of society, like Kommandos, Corsairs, etc.

    • @kompav5621
      @kompav5621 2 роки тому

      ​@@lightningwolf788 Aye, in the Ciaphas Cain novel "The Emperor's Finest", Cai and Jurgen essentially find themselves on a space hulk where a band of unsuspecting Orks are gettin' leeched off by a Tyranid hive, having some of their number become genestealers while the rest are omnom'd. There are two types of stealthy Orks: Purple Orks, and Ork genestealers - those frakkers don't even "WAAAGH"!

    • @themanthemyth4522

    I've always had a soft spot for the eldar since they were my first 40k army, before orks. I recently got back into their lore along with a bunch of lumineth on sprue still. I may have to do this.

    Something that could be done also is filing away the crescent on the breastplate to leave a flat surface for an Eldar Craftworld symbol! Would take the model to the next level and make it less like a Lumineth in space.

    Impressive kit-bash - Due to my complete lack of knowledge about the AOS Elf factions (and only sort of knowledge about the Eldar factions), if you hadn't told me this was kitbashed, I would probably never have known. Great work, and great match-up of styles.

    I'm tempted to use the Wardens and Storm Guardian parts for Warlock conversion rather than the Sentinels.
    The shields and pike would be good for the main frame of a banner, could chop that tip and use the hilts of the sheathed swords from the Wardens to make 10 swords, always nice to have some on hand so you don't need to cut a hand off to get one.

    A conversion I've always wanted to do, but haven't gotten around to it is a Space Vampire black and white tv retro army. Counts as Imperial Guard.

    I feel like the various Elven Bloodbowl teams could be used to make some great Eldar or Dark Eldar builds. They have wonderful animated posses and some of the other teams could probably make good cultists or necromunda gangs. I think I just want to see what you could do with them in general.

    Looks great, the Dark Reaper is my favorite out of the three. As for suggestions I'd like to see your take on the Black Dragons or some other more obscure marine chapters.

    I've recently started collecting Thousand Sons, and it's got me thinking what a unit of Rubrics would look like if kitbashed to primaris (or what I would consider 'true scale' space Marines given the size differential to regular humans). Would be a pretty tricky conversion as the Rubric armor is quite ornate. It makes absolutely 0 sense from a lore standpoint but would still be a really cool project

    Hi Pete, I do actually have a xenos 'challenge' conversion for you. It's one that I'd like to do myself, but I don't have an Eldar army, so I can't justify the cost.
    The idea is to take an Eldar Wraith Knight and make it articulated, with the help of an RG EVA 01 Bandai kit. The RG kit has an entire inner frame that you can glue the Wraith Knight parts onto.
    Obviously it's not quite so simply, there's a lot of hollowing out that needs to be done on the WK parts.
    Additionally there's a ton of EVA armor parts that you can use for other projects. I understand if you think it's too much work and too fiddly, but I'd appreciate to hear what you think about the idea at least. I don't know how familiar you are with Bandai model kits, but they don't need glue, it's all push fit and if you haven't tried one, it'll blow your mind just how good their assembly is.
