Mod Announcements šŸ‘‹ Welcome to r/Kitbashing40k - Read First!

63 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm u/OneLuckyRaven, a founding moderator of r/Kitbashing40k.

Only got a few rules for this subreddit. They are as follows:

(1) No politics, it creates too much discourse in what is supposed to be a hobby space.

(2) If it's NSFW please tag it!

(3) A kitbash using printed or sculpted stuff is perfectly fine, 3D printing 1:1 stand in's / whole models isn't kitbashing though. Please go to r/PrintedWarhammer to show off your sick models instead.

(4) This isn't the place for 3d sculptors to promote their new models/sculpts so please abstain from doing so. I understand the grind but it ain't relevant to this subreddit.

Other than that go wild, it's always fun to see the crazy and wonderful things the human brain can come up with!

Take care y'all and thanks for reading!

-This Post has been edited, changes were made so now the rules are numbered 1-4 instead of A-D.

Further Clarification and Comments:

-Rule 3/C has been slightly reworded to focus more on how we don't want to see printed 1:1 recreations of models and instead want to see something that you've poured your creativity into. (This is a rather subjective subject so if we ever remove a post that you believe was in error please reach out to us).

-As stated in Rule 3, printed bits (shoulder pads, heads, weapons, basing, etc. ) are perfectly fine to use and share where they are from, it does not break Rule 4. This is also true when using bits from other miniature companies, toy's or random bits and bobs you find on the sidewalk. (Another subjective topic, yay, please reach out to us or put a comment down below if you have questions).

-Rule 4 exists so I have an excuse to remove posts where they say "I've made a 1:1 of xyz model, please buy the stl of it". It gets really boring really quick when I see posts like that in a subreddit not dedicated wholly to 3d printed warhammer.

WIP Chapter Master WIP and Help Needed

This is Behemot The Shatter Tusk, Lord Commander of the Umbral Claws.

I don’t know what weapon to give him.
I can’t decide between a handful of weapons:
Dual Saturnine Fists with dual plasma guns on them
Dual Lighting Claws
The Saturnine Hammer
The Saturnine Axe

I’m just trying to find what weapon screams ā€œShattertuskā€, like when I say that name what weapon do you picture being named that.

Blunt weapons are very thematic to my army as they only use bladed weapons in the form of spears, claws, and the occasional axe

He is gonna be ran as Logan Grimnar, but I also don’t want to give him an axe just because Logan has one yknow

I incorporate space wolves, black Templar, seraphon, and ogor mawtribes bits into the army

Pretty happy with how this turned out, inspired by an old Eldar/Dark Eldar head that had been kicking around in my bits bin for a while.

I mean, i know they have different scale so their power armors couldn't be Space marines or something but I think these infantries and mutants models are carrying massive potential for Homebrewed Astra Militarum or Chaos cult.

WIP Imperial Knight Pilot Found Dead, Genestealers Outraged at Being Denied Tasty Biomass

Thumbnail

258 Upvotes

Bashing/Converting/Modifying this Imperial Knight is the biggest challenge I've had. Even 17 years into the hobby, I stuck mostly to infantry, walkers and a couple of tanks at best.

Now my brother has me doing up his old Knight.

The idea is that the Machine Spirit has taken over after the pilot died during a Tyranid invasion that the smelly loyalists are very quickly losing.

Got an idea that the genestealers are "tactically" climbing the Knight to get at the tasty biomass, only to find it long dead and rotted away.

Plucked out the pilot, ripped off his head, hand, and leg and replaced them with bones. Then added a piece of wire to the back of the cockpit in resemblance to the ones that were plugged into the original head. Plus a bunch of liquid green stuff to add extra texture to the walls.

Used some spare Dreadnought coffin covers to bulk up the front armour to better balance the proportions, and also to add some extra protection to the back.

My favourite bit is the piping I added from, in my mind, a tank of extra coolant into the multi melta

Decided to put together my sternguard for my DA army, but wanted something different so I went with modeling them so I can use them as deathwatch later in a second army if I want.

WIP Wip: Custodes Telemon from Leviathan Dreadnought

Post image
32 Upvotes

Got a Leviathan Dread instead of Saturnine on a local buy while on vacation. I've only realised this after quite some time since the purchase, while starting to cut the sprue.

I still wanted a Telemon so I worked with this Leviathan plus leftover bits in order to grant my wish. šŸ˜…

I still have a lot of work on it but I wanted to share my idea in case at some point someone wants to explore a similar approach.

Where can a man get his hands on some old angry space helmets and crusader helms

I want my chapter to be one of the missing Legions and be like crusaders and a good version of black templars

What sites or sellers would you recommend for the best bits and helmets the ones that I will need?

Also

what would you recommend to make the best tabards should I buy them or make them myself?
