How To Kitbash 8 RARE Astra Militarum Regiments

In today's video I show how I kitbash 8 rarely seen Astra Militarum regiments using only Games Workshop plastic parts (and a little bit of greenstuff).

I love that you acknowledge how expensive a full custom army with several of these builds would be. So many video makers just throw together a "here's how to make X" without bracing people for the impact of actually needing dozens of infantry models in a guard army. And since you make heavy use of Stormtroopers, and, at the time of writing this, GW just increased the points of Kasrkin and dropped the price of Stormtroopers to the old price, I imagine a lot of meta chasers are going to be scooping up any boxes that are actually available. Oh well, maybe after they get their next nerf.

This video was amazing, but we are sending the Adeptus Arbites after you for that pronunciation of "commissars" 😂

It's amazing how much heavy lifting the Scion and GSC kits do for all sorts of human kitbashes. I've tried kitbashing AdMech Skitarii torsos onto Cadian legs/arms with moderate success for a nice flowing overcoat style. What a great video for inspiration, thanks!

8 kitbashes in less than 12 minutes, this is good warhammer content.

That texture plate is from Greenstuff World, Texture Plate - Wolf Fur.

I have a squad of Tunnel Rats for Kill Team. I found using Ash Waste Nomad bodies with Skitarri Vanguard heads gave them a more grungy, "I've been wandering in the muck all day" kind of look, as well as focusing more on the heavy clothing/cloak element. Awesome to see them getting some attention.

I saw the blue in the background and immediately clicked the video - I’ve been interested in making Volpones for ages but there is so little inspiration. Sad to see your conversion didn’t work out. My theory is that a mixture of freeguild bodies and arbites bits might work, still some 3D printed / 3rd party griffon shoulders etc might be needed though.

It’s really cool seeing these regiments not in a photo or old conversion, another fan of scions here

What an amazing video! I haven't found myself so enraptured by a kitbashing video for awhile now. Which is made more impressive by the smaller scale of the contents in both literal size and kitbash being done. I don't find many of what I like to called 'down to earth' conversions that really get me going. There is some part of warhammer and the hobby that dwells within kitbashes like this that doesn't exist in the massive projects. You have made my day good sir!

[meganobgutzkraka]

the fact that 40k is so old but also has so much just NOT represented anymore really pushes me further and further into printing

[colonelarrow]

Mad Robot Miniatures makes some of those regiments as resin kits. Very good quality

[fenrirsrage]

For the Jopall I think TTS could be a good place for inspiration for their colors since one of their Bro Trip episodes focused on the regiment.

[OmegonAlpharius]

These were so well done! I think you’re on your way to be one of the biggest names in conversion/kitbashes. Excited to see what else you have in store!

[thethemperoroftheholybri]

For the Kanak Skull takers you could also add some Ork skulls/bones/Ork weapons and misc bits from the Citadel skulls kit or any Ork kits to make them into the Armageddon Ork hunters, at least until GW makes some new Catachans (which doesn't seem to be anytime soon)

Incredible work once again, the quality of this content is levels above the amount of views you are going. When the algorithm gets you this channel is going to explode!

[castlecrusadercrafts]

what a sweet vid! classic kitbashing, quick and consistent audio and video, beautiful production quality. NICE

[MaxOutrider]

Your sim racing channel helped get me started with building my own rig and getting into that. And now I stumble on you here for my other hobby! Fantastic!

[CptMonstruoso]

Your Harakoni Warhawks got me curious on what your take on the old pre-Kasrkin metal Stormtroopers would be! Would love to see a build for em because they are my fave version of Stormtroopers and getting em in metal is proving cost prohibitive! <3

[Ninjat]

Navis Breacher legs with mag-boots are one of the single best bits I've ever seen from GW, and it's heartbreaking that you can't just buy entire sprues of them. I'd do an entire Guard army in mag-boots if I could, or an entire Skitarii army.

I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WENT MY MAN, am I am so glad I found this channel, I enjoy these build just as much as your other channel content :D
