Edit: I thought the louder music would make the video more exciting, I appreciate you all letting me know I was IMMENSELY mistake! I shall keep the feedback in mind for future videos :)

Did I miss a kit you think should've been on this list? do you think the order of this list was doodoo? Would you like to see more videos like this? let me know!

Another honorable mention I’d put up for consideration, is the deathwatch veterans box. This was one of the last marine kits released before the advent of the primaris. Their scale is a hair larger than firstborn marines. Thus all of the arms in the kit fit incredibly well on primaris bodies with zero modification needed. Some items may need the symbol of the inquisition scraped off, though most deathwatch members are practically heroes themselves.

I would love a Chaos Space Marine version of this video. Thanks for your insights.

my best source for parts is asking my local group, "hey, anyone have lots of space marine bits you don't want?" and uh, that's seemed to work well XD

The multipart Sternguard kit really is a thing of beauty but I really can't justify myself getting 5 more of them after the ones from Leviathan since I play Templars...

It would be interesting to see GW release a generalist "veteran" upgrade sprue just filled with older helmet marks, purity seals, capes and the like.

[BruceWayne-pybx]

The new Sternguard Veterans box is just crazy, by last count it has 15 sets of arm/rifle, 8 helmets (plus bare heads) and 16 shoulder pads as well as shin options. The Company Heroes released at the same time got shafted.

Really happy you put Devastators in, honestly love it for making Primaris scale Devastators, they give so many helmets in it, I still have so many spares left

[chetmanley]

I think it's also worth mentioning Heresy heavy weapon kits; if you want more than two of a weapon and you don't want all those firstborn bodies, you get ten of each weapon plus arms with no fiddly backpack to attach*, and the arms are scaled a little better for Primaris marines. IMO, the Lascannons are a lot cooler.

* Whether this is good or bad depends on your personal tastes.

Im collecting a firstborn army with medieval theme and I fell in love with dark angels company veterans. They have lots and lots of very useful and beautiful bits like robes, shields, extra cool looking bolters, backpacks and all of those little ornaments. There is also a little extra sprue which look like a sergeant upgrade for tactical marine? Im not sure but I found extra chanswords and bolt/plasma pistols very handy in making my assault squad and minor characters.

[omnissiahGaspar]

Imo the the best one is the Kakaphron Battle Servitors kit, it's got an unbelievably high amount of bits (including robot arms, weapons, chestplates you can place over marine ones to create a more armoured look, wires, plating for vehichles, and robot heads) I started with mechanicus as my army and 2, 000 points into space marines i'm still getting so much mileage out of leftover bits to make my force look amazing. It comes as a dual kit, which is why there's so much of everything

[eoinmccormack]

The new sternguard kit is, imo, an instant classic. Brilliant! Much better than the company heroes box I think.

I just unburied some old Grey Knight leftovers from my Dark Angel Librarius Kill Team to further use them for parts for my future Outriders. Going to give some of my bikers some chainglaives. While typically a Night Lords thing, it just makes sense for bikers to have them.

First things, thanks for the tips and ideas! Really appreciate seeing a channel come about purely for converting. Hope to see much more from you.

Secondly, the music is too loud compared to your voice. Drop the music tracks volume down by 20-35% in your editor and you're golden!

Sadly some of the OOP boxes were fabulous for bits. The old Sternguard and for Blood Angels their old Tactical Squad were gorgeous kits.

[GunsmithGaming]

Sternguard for sure, BITS FOR DAYS!! 😂 after I built everything, I have a ton of bits leftover

[BrushQuill]

Really interesting video. Will be cool to see an update as the new DA stuff comes out.

[Dementia]

The Exalted Sorcerer kit is absolutely chock full of chaosy goodness.

[santtu]

So true😊🎉 Im totally subscribing, thanks for The content, I love converting❤

[WePaintMinis]

Very cool video. Was literally thinking of doing this myself. Glad someone else did it 😊. I agree with all of these for sure. The classic Intercessor kit is great too I find.

[martynsouthgate]

I would add the 10 man Space Marine assault Intercessor kit to the list. It has enough war gear options to give your Sargents the correct load outs. Also plenty of unique character poses as well so plenty of bits to customize a normal Intercessor Squad.
