I get loads of people asking me how I kitbash my Grey Knights. In this video, I take you through my slipshod process.

I just love seeing Dark Angels bits being used around in places. The Mace of Redemption, Halberd of Caliban, and Flail of the Unforgiven are such cool weapons for kitbashes and whatnot

I honestly hadn’t realized that there was a difference between terminator heads and Paladin heads. Perhaps I missed that in the instructions when I was putting mine together. All of that being said, I really LOVE your Draigo!!!! Looks so badass!!!!

Kitbashing/ converting is my favorite thing to do, as well- I have been making a Raven Guard army for 30K for the past 4 years or so, and every model is changed somewhat from the original. Some more than others, of course, but I have an army that looks like no one else’s. Since I don’t play 30K or 40K, or anything else for that matter, my main focus is the hobby aspect, and reading the lore. I’m a stickler for making it all era-appropriate, in armour, weapons, vehicles, markings, etc- and I only equip them with games rules-accepted builds, so if I ever did choose to play, it would be “rules legal”. I loved this video, thanks for sharing it with us!

He looks dope. Kitbashing is also far and away my favorite part of the hobby as well!

Perfect breakfast watching, so chill - as I love converting so much, watching your videos is the reason I ended up branching out into the Verastile Terrain nameplates.. now all my whacky characters are named, and I am a fair few $'s less well off! Thank you :D

Great work.
I love Grey Knights and Kitbashing, but your style/choices made it even better.

[MyNameIsCain]

Honestly the creativity you put into the hobby and narrative is a big part of why I’ve kept up my own hobby enthusiasm. Keep up the good work, I’m excited to see the painted results on instagram!

I just ordered my first Grey Knight Terminators and was looking furiously for guides on how to create characters out of them. What an incredible timing :D Also I just have to say that your channel is the only that really hyped me for a faction. I have been watching countless videos on starting 40k armies, but none of those channels capture the passion for a faction like you do. It just feels super personal and important to you when I watch your videos. Sorry if I can't express myself better. I'm from Germany. Cheers for your great work!! :) Oh and have you tried using assault intercessor legs and torso for your terminators? I've seen someone on Instagram do it and it looked really nice

[Tomppeh]

what a perfect timing! Opened up new Termie box yesterday evening, which will have at least ancient and apothecary, perhaps even chaplain in it for me!

Next time I get some 40k kits I'll have to try and kitbash a character.

@OneLastBlade, a very sincere thank you for showing how to kit-bash Grey Knights! I’m still fairly new to the GK army (and Warhammer as a hobby), so this was extremely helpful! I also liked the tip about the Deathwing Knights kit; I’ll definitely be picking one up from my local hobby shop and following your guidelines for my first kit-bash! Keep doing what you do!

[Junior-dmmq]

Love this stuff. I would watch you put together the whole combat patrol.

[himynameiskinz]

Love the video and the recommendations! I’ll be picking up some fun bits to help kitbash more of my heroes!

[medwaymodelrailway]

Nice update you done thanks for sharing.

[kennethphillips]

Awesome video! I started my deathwings from a purchase for all the great bits. And I’m a chaos marine player! Those bits just too good.

[williamnoblin]

Awesome kitbash video! My only kitbash is a DG Sorcerer in Termie armor. I used the Sorcerer Chaos kit, a Plague Marine breast plate, and other Blightlord/Deathshroud pieces. I enjoy the hobby aspect more than the gaming aspect too. Thank you for the content!

[mordredpendragon]

Wow that's a badass looking Ancient

[SwagMasterDank]

Always loved the looks of your grey knights. Definitely picking up a box of deathwing knights and a deathwatch squad for those bits 0.0

[henri]

I absolutely love the paladin ancient I am almost finished with my grey knights list and all the games I have played while learning the system I have been using one to pair with a paladin squad because the aura is cool and having a holy banner making them fight better is just kick ass

[corbinjeffery]

Man he looks great! Would love to see when its all painted up!
