It means so much to me that GW is putting out content that promotes creativity and customization like this. It’s my favorite part of the hobby and I’m glad that the people running the show still realize how important it is to the community.

This is fantastic. You guys need to promote kitbashing more, it's such a fun part of the hobby.

We NEED beakie helmets for the Raven Guard! Even as a DLC!

[kyl_baguette]

I hope for more tutorials about kitbashings, it helps a lot your creativity

[Miscast]

This was a good video Warhammer! Love that you opened your comment section again!

[Theinternetnerd]

Great to see gw promote the creative fun of kit bashing, pretty cool!

[tyetnic]

The vanguard model really captures the energy of Decimus in game. I just wish there was some in game tabletop version of grappling onto enemy units like in SM2, like a charge bonus or something.

[ClearlyInPeril]

Please keep making videos like this, the creativity of the hobby is something that needs to be dhowcased and encouraged

[carlstanford]

Nice to see GW encouraging creativity and customization. Very old school GW. I love it

[mr_invisible]

This man is a legend!!! His kitbashed Knights on display at Warhammer World are amazing!!!

[ceresta]

Excited to see GW engaging more with their community, and actively promoting things like Space Marine 2.

We need Two-Handed Thunderhammers for our Jump Pack Assault Intercessors! GIMME
The last one with the grapnel looked cool!

[OofOuchOwie]

THIS is the way you capitalize on a videogame

[highflyfishing]

This is the type of video that makes me really like warhammer and gw. More custom kitbashed minis and hobby love please❤

[recording_closet]

Honestly really happy to see GW making stuff like this, I'd love to see more!

[fudgeyman]

Really great idea for getting new people into the hobby

[arnoldnemeth]

I love the consistency with each official Black Templar paintings you put out. Jump Pack assault is red trim, white pauldron, red cross, as it should be based on the lore. Same accuracy as you did with the Black Templar Terminator video. I'm grateful for this!

[jagermeister_]

I'd love some more Deathwatch Primaris for my Black Templars!

[BigKlingy]

I kinda did this! Well, not with Space Marine 2, but I used to like playing around with the army painter in Dawn of War 2 and really liked the "metallic orange" colour you could use, so I'm now painting my Leviathan marines in Gryph-Hound Orange over Retributor Armour, making my own Chapter out of it.

I really hope GW starts promoting more creative/kitbash stuff again. They stepped away from that for a while but I'm glad they're taking a step towards it again
