IMHO the 2 Vampire Coast models you’e done here are easily the most bad ass conversion you’ve done. Absolutely loving the Vampire Coast theme. If only GW would do VC for Death in AOS. 🙁
@@v0dka885 beyond that, Count Noctilus (one of the legendary lords in Total Warhammer) has a whole backstory involving him teleporting his entire castle into the middle of the ocean, so it’s entirely possible he coulda just skidaddled out of the old world and somewhere within the realms when he saw what was going down, and from there rebuilt the dreadfleet to loot all the dimensions
Suggestion for a larger build - and something of a challenge too. The Bone Giant is a Tomb Kings unit that, like the rest of the Tomb Kings, doesn't really exist any more. However, I think it would be a fantastic model to try and kitbash from scratch, especially since one variant (with a gigantic bow) never had an official model to begin with. Tomb Kings are my favourite Warhammer faction and I'd love to see your take on one of their biggest and stompiest units. =]
I legit love how no matter how many times you've said it, you repeat over and over and over and over! About what you do with greenstuff/putty. Vaseline/water to keep it wet and from sticking. I love the consistency. And I understand why you do.
Reminds me of the Gargantuan Ogre Blood who has a shipwreck upon his back. Love this mod, Pete. Well done as always. I watch your vids to wind down in the afternoon. Love them.
This was amazing. Great skills and conversion. Rulewise I think you should use this as a terrorgheist. His gaping maw attack could be represented by the crab clutching the victim with his claws and the shoving it into his mouth.
Dude, friking awesome conversion. I love these videos more than anything else you make! So much effort and such a cool result! This what the hobby should be about!
Holy snap those eye sockets! I was wondering if and how you were going to fill them but leaving them empty looks absolutely horrifying in the best way!
Holy fuck, well done, this is amazing! Also I love how you change it up with the difficulty all the time and now we really know what each dead animal bit level means
You are -always- SO clever with these, you break my brain with every video you manage to convert up. 10/10 Dead Animal Bits for your ingeniousness and creativity, you always do positively uplifting, amazing, and masterful work! Keep it up!!
"in game" you could run it as the spider you used as a base for the kitbash, which would also allow you to run it with the "mega gargant" necrofex colossus, since both would be in grand alliance destruction. Doing Vampire coast as destruction proxies would be strange but interesting to see regardless.
Hell yea! Vampire Coast is such an awesome mish-mash of ideas and art, would love to do something similar in 40k, like a chapter of Blood Angels or undead Drukhari.
This is a great kitbash. I have been looking at the spider kit you used as I've never been quite happy with the spider like 6 legged choas unit in the choas Space marine start collecting box. This spider and more of the bits you used for the claws for more of a slaanesh feel could work well I've thought. The wire technique is one I've used a number of times in jewellery making and polymer clay is great stuff. Word of warning for viewers however, it can be susceptible to use damage, so keep out of sunlight. It will also react badly with enamel paints, alcohol based paints and pens and some oil paints. Sealing with varnish can mitigate these problems however and otherwise it is a very durable material.
Your stuff just keeps getting better and better. Inspiring. Just finished my first real conversions and they look pretty good thanks to all the videos you have put out.
Fantastic conversion, I'm interested in seeing what you might do for rotting prometheans. I was thinking of using Plague Drones myself, since they have a rough thorax looking style, but I'm stumped for good shell options. For rule suggestions, I've actually spent a good bit of time pondering the logistics of vampire coast conversions and how to use them for playing games of age of sigmar, and the conclusion I came to was that the best choice was cities of sigmar due to all their ranged options, but that still left a question of what to use a giant crab as, and I found an unconventional answer: A stardrake. Stardrakes are functionally like living artillery that can fly and eat people whole, and while a crab can't fly, you can easily refluff it as the crab simply striding over its foes, like how mangler squigs have the fly keyword. Refluff some of the ranged attacks of the stardrake as volleys of gunfire and crab vomit, and bobs your uncle. If stardrake riders have anvil of apotheosis rules, then you could make them even more special and fluffy, befitting such a conversion
@@PeteTheWargamer My sculpting experience is limited so far, but hey, it would probably be good practice for me, especially since I plan on following this tutorial for my own rotting leviathan
@@bajscast up until about year ago, I actively avoided any sculpting but I just been practicing it more and more and it gets easier. I'd recommend maybe something like milliput for a shell. You would just start with three or four balls, each small than the last, press them together in a cone shape and you've got a good start of a shell alreadyn
@@PeteTheWargamer Hah, that's not a bad idea. We'll see how it pans out when I try it, I'm gonna use steam tank rules for the rotting prometheans since that sounds like it'd be fun
Very cool kitbash Pete. As happens with many of your projects, there's a point where I'm thinking "how in the world is he going to tie this together and make it look good". But then, you do and it always blows me away. I love the big models but, personally, I like the smaller more "typical" model sizes. Those minis that tend to be used more frequently.. But, as I said, they all turn out amaze-balls and watch all of your conversions. I have been reading up on successor chapters recently as research for a "new and different" 40k army. The description for Tyberos, the red wake, was cool. A dude so big that even some of the termie armor he wears isn't big enough so he has to use dreadnought armor here and there. When I read that I screamed "Pete kitbash".to me. No pressure but your conversion could be the thing that pushes me to starting a space shark army : )
I'd personally have just gotten a regular ship kit, Revell and Zvezda both have pretty good Ghost Ship kits, and as a bonus they glow in the dark (if you use the included paint).
Great work man, that's quite the build and as usual, a very clever use of a different model entirely. It looks awesome. Would've liked to see some other models next to it for a sense of the scale.
I love everything you do for the Vampire Coast mate. How do you think you'd go about making the standard infantry look more piratey? I'm thinking eyepatches, bandanas and anchors instead of gravestones for the zombies, and barnacles all over the Dire Wolves to make 'Scurvey Dogs'
Absolutely lovely work. Really enjoying your stuff, can't believe its taken me this long to find your channel, but at least now I have a huge back catalogue of videos to binge on.
Honestly you could use it like an orc stompa with melee weapons. I dont even play warhammer, but I'd like to, and I made an orc stompa out of old model car parts by melting the plastic together.
I'd like to see a classic Orky vehicle conversion. Something like a toy truck totally transformed into a tabletop model. Another fun idea would be an Ork version of a Dreadknight, with a Nob or a Warboss piloting it.
I think this would look pretty neat as the Sylvaneth beetle lady; a Sylvaneth army in this aesthetic would look pretty sick if you didn't already do the nurgle themed one
Really good kitbash though a idea of things you could add would be a few more zombies to use as "crew" to be mounted and then useing eather free fild rifles or skiltarri guns and having the zombies weild them
I thought for sure you'd just break out a scale model Mary Celeste or something and chop the back off! This is a great video thank you! I really like the Vampire Coast!
Right so I have fully sat down and tried to think though this whole army. Best choice seems to be cities of sigmar and with aos 3.0 having an option to bring back dead models in the core rules it is not the worst. Luther Harkon - Galen Ven Denst Saltspite - Fleetmaster Mages are mages Gunnery wright - cogsmith Mournghouls have rules as a fw but as a unit I would go with demigriff knights Freeguild for normal troops (you could use the corsairs as the hand gun ones but I would just not use them) Outriders for the crabby boys Depthguard as blackguard ( I would use the ex heads in the box tho) Necroflex - steamtank Rotting Leviathan - kyribdiss Dropdeckers - eather pistoliers or as alied KO Animated husks - allied Slythaneth Syreens - allied Slythaneth Art you dont get much choice with only hellstorm and hellblaster I feel like model to rule wise going as mixed freeguild and Slythaneth is the best choice for getting as much of the army on the table with core rules as you can but if I had the choice I would change it so instead of an order faction you could take allies from GA death allowing you to use vampire lords ect and have the homebrew of the whole army counting as undead.
I’m building a vampire coast army for age of sigmar. Kitbashing cities of sigmar into the army. I plan to get the grot spider riders as my rotting promethians and this is a good guide for what i hope they will look like
Dunno if you've seen Warhammer Armies Project but its a fan-made continuation of 8th edition, and they've made Vampire Coast into a playable army book. It would be awesome to see you tackle some of the zombie deck hand units and make some undead swashbucklers.
Nice you really need to make a vampire coast army now. Personally I would like to see a fleet captain or a unit of depth guard next.
That would be awesome
I'm making dpeth guard fgrom Kalabite Warriors and some other stuff
I misread this as a death guard misspell🤦♂️
Yeees, that would be sick!
Why just a fleet captain? This army needs Luthor Harkon
Yeah more Vampire Coast stuff would be wonderful. I’d be really interest in seeing your take on Depth Guard and Syreens specifically
+1 for depth guard !
IMHO the 2 Vampire Coast models you’e done here are easily the most bad ass conversion you’ve done. Absolutely loving the Vampire Coast theme. If only GW would do VC for Death in AOS. 🙁
@@JimCArt I think they should, because I think the vampire coast isn't dead and survived the end times since they reside at the bottom of the sea
@@JimCArtOld world! Old world! Old world!

Looks great, though the lack of eyes definitely reduces its "crabness".
Well I need to see a full vampire coast army now
This is awesome! Who cares about gaming rules. The model is cool, that's all that matters! Well done
I'd like to see more vampire coast. And then maybe a take on sea-themed Empire troops to be their opponents.
Yeh something from one of the coastal cities, like Anvil Guard, would be fun.
5:01 I did a double take, I didn't hear "putty" the first time.
😂 me too XD
I did hear "putty" the first time. However now all I can hear is... erm... the other word!
Fuck now I can’t unhear it
glad someone else picked up on that 😳

"Nautical themed undead builds" is odly specific, love it tho 🤣

Dude! You should do a vampire coast army!
Wait, that's a giant enemy crab there!
I'd like to see some zombie gunners and a gun wight.
That sand base looks amazing, i want to make a possible army with that basing scheme
I sit here, mouth agape, utterly stunned by the imagination and skill in this model. Truly phenomenal mate
You could use the Anvil of Apotheosis rules to turn it into a pretty beastly General.
Its always fun to see how different people use different materials to make stuff.
Reminds me of the Gargantuan Ogre Blood who has a shipwreck upon his back. Love this mod, Pete. Well done as always. I watch your vids to wind down in the afternoon. Love them.
Oooh the rivet trick! I though they just had nuts, not this piramidal hexagons. Nice.
i'd love to see some total war; warhammer 3 exclusive stuff by you when it comes out, because this looks really awesome
This was amazing. Great skills and conversion. Rulewise I think you should use this as a terrorgheist. His gaping maw attack could be represented by the crab clutching the victim with his claws and the shoving it into his mouth.
Hey Pete, many thanks for the shout out! That bash came together wonderfully. Such a horrifying beast!
My favorite of your conversion videos so far, keep up the good work!
Dude, friking awesome conversion. I love these videos more than anything else you make! So much effort and such a cool result! This what the hobby should be about!
I’m blown away by every kitbash, this one takes the cake
That's absolutely phenomenal, well done Pete!
Holy snap those eye sockets! I was wondering if and how you were going to fill them but leaving them empty looks absolutely horrifying in the best way!
This is my fav kitbashing channel on UA-cam. Thank you so much for the vids.
Holy fuck, well done, this is amazing! Also I love how you change it up with the difficulty all the time and now we really know what each dead animal bit level means

Vampire Coast giants are among my favorite Total War units. This guy is gorgeous.
More bigger builds, also the editting on the colour scheme reveal was fantastic, really amped me up

oh my lord this is PHENOMENAL! WOW I MEAN SERIOUSLY AMAZING WORK!
i am shocked this is sooo cool! great work!
"A reanimated hermit crab inhabiting a smashed ship" is not something I was expecting to hear today...but I'm here for it.
This is great! I’d love to see more Vampire Coast conversions.
I have no intent in making this, hell I don't even collect Age Of Sigmar but this has to be the most enjoyable kitbashing video I have ever watched!
This is one of your best if not your best conversion. Love your conversions
That's just amazing, and you're a genius mate.
Hell yea! Vampire Coast is such an awesome mish-mash of ideas and art, would love to do something similar in 40k, like a chapter of Blood Angels or undead Drukhari.
Absolutely epic kitbash and paint job! Love it!
Wow absolutely spectacular conversion!
Absolutely stunning, you knocked it out of the world again! Would be nice to see this next to the Colossus!
Amazing build, would love to see more models from Total war Warhammer ! :)
This is a great kitbash.

is everyone else here someone who has know intention of building these things and just really like watching people kitbash and paint models?
maybe nurgle chaos knight in the future, if we're talking about large builds?
Outstanding! I am inspired to try a Leviathan build now; thank you for the excellent video. Please do more Vampire Coast subjects.
Vampire coast lord (captain), would be interesting to see and a good stand in for a vampire lord
Your stuff just keeps getting better and better. Inspiring. Just finished my first real conversions and they look pretty good thanks to all the videos you have put out.

Great to hear!
This is insane! Well done Pete. I will be sure to check out the rest of your videos.
I just started bashing a whole Vamp Coast army for Age of Sigmar. Glad I stumbled on this and the Necrofex vid😉😉😉
NOICE man!!!! You've motavatied me to try and build the land kraken used by Gutrot Spume lol
I didn't know there is a channel which make kitbash videos, so, i am happy to see that. Give you a subscription, everyone need more kitbash content!
More nautical undead builds... absolutely stunning and amazing in every way. Thank you!!!
Vampire coast is my favorite faction in TW:Warhammer and this video made me really want a tabletop army i some way
This has fast become my favourite channel and even given be the confidence to start my own kitbashed army, keep up the amazing work
Would love to see you make Taurox the Brass Bull at some point
But more Vampire Coast stuff would be amazing as well
That's a strikingly good result.
As for the rules, I'd suggest to homebrew something from the original Chronicle.
A reanimated hermit crab that lives inside the wrecked haul of a ship... That's one of the most metal things I've ever heard in my life
Very cool conversion!!!
That looks so good!
Why are there no official models for Vampire coast?! Such a cool theme, more conversions would be awesome!
Excellent work! I'm strongly tempted to try this myself!
Great work man, that's quite the build and as usual, a very clever use of a different model entirely. It looks awesome. Would've liked to see some other models next to it for a sense of the scale.
Some animated hulks or some rotting prometheans would be super cool!

A cool Rogue Idol would be awesome to see in plastic!

They'd work great as Bloated Corpses too!
I would love to see your take on death guard chaos spawn, keep up the amazing work
Amazing work Pete!!
Honestly you could use it like an orc stompa with melee weapons. I dont even play warhammer, but I'd like to, and I made an orc stompa out of old model car parts by melting the plastic together.
At this point you might as well just make an entire Vampire Coasts army! The Queen Bess would be awesome!

damn im liking this a lot keep up the amazing work
It looks fantastic!!! Wow!
Right so I have fully sat down and tried to think though this whole army.
Best choice seems to be cities of sigmar and with aos 3.0 having an option to bring back dead models in the core rules it is not the worst.
Luther Harkon - Galen Ven Denst
Saltspite - Fleetmaster
Mages are mages
Gunnery wright - cogsmith
Mournghouls have rules as a fw but as a unit I would go with demigriff knights
Freeguild for normal troops (you could use the corsairs as the hand gun ones but I would just not use them)
Outriders for the crabby boys
Depthguard as blackguard ( I would use the ex heads in the box tho)
Necroflex - steamtank
Rotting Leviathan - kyribdiss
Dropdeckers - eather pistoliers or as alied KO
Animated husks - allied Slythaneth
Syreens - allied Slythaneth
Art you dont get much choice with only hellstorm and hellblaster
I feel like model to rule wise going as mixed freeguild and Slythaneth is the best choice for getting as much of the army on the table with core rules as you can but if I had the choice I would change it so instead of an order faction you could take allies from GA death allowing you to use vampire lords ect and have the homebrew of the whole army counting as undead.
