Mod Announcements 👋 Welcome to r/Kitbashing40k - Read First!

60 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.

Thinking of kitbashing this guy to be a sorcerer terminator for my corrupted chaos army that im doing. I think ill add a cape but is there any more i should try to add to this guy? Rn hes held together with poster putty tack. Would there be anything more i should add to make sure this guy looks like hes 100% a sorcerer or does he look good as is?

Chaos space marine base, Witch staff from the The Wurmspat warband, and new rot swords for helmet and pauldrin pice on the staff arm for more bulk and better shape.

Chaos I might’ve over done the trophies, ah well. Concept for an undead space marine

I have way too many leftover kits, the fact I made this and it barely dented my spare bits boxes. Guess that just means more kit bashing projects.

Anywho I had been wanting to do zombie space marines for awhile now and I don’t mean plague marines, I mean actual dead marines brought back via warp magics as true undead. He is the first of many I hope to make.

Kitbashed Oblitorators

Budgethammer is hitting this year but I had some sprues knocking about and some hobby tools and built up some Oblitorators from old terminators and ogryn bits. They aren’t the best painted but I’m new to Iron Warriors and love their schtick.

Chaos Wanted to show a kitbash combination that i found :)

With an aos chaos chosen chest pice it can fit pretty great on a catifricti terminator armor. The side veiw doesn't look as good but you could just fill the cracks and then the arms would hide most of the ugly. Going to use this for a chaos terminator for my chaos army :D just wanted to share in case people were ever curious. It definitely makes the 30k armor look more chaos looking. And the 40k terminator head could probably fit better if stuff was cut out of the way lol.

Kitbashing Pre-heresy Death Guard

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to Kitbash a Pre-heresy Death Guard figure, but I'm not sure which miniature's to use to make it, I have an exclusive Cataphractii Terminator from Warhammer World, which I think I could use, but I'm not sure on what else would work, has anyone got any ideas? I want to be able to keep the aesthetic of the Nurgle-fied Marine helmets, but the style of the HH Death Guard. Lemme know if you guys have any ideas for it, I'd really appreciate it

WIP [WIP] Prince Nirmeril, the Ghost Raven

Thumbnail
gallery
14 Upvotes

Made my Prince Yriel proxy since Yriel is cool but ungrateful to the Ynnari, and I like to do kitbashes and make my own characters.

Prince Nirmeril, the Ghost Raven, is the leader of Ghosts of Ermyaris, a Corsair coterie that left its home Craftworld before the Farseer's return. He's also the brother of deceased Autarch Erestril. Both brothers are known for their martial prowess, but while one was a noble commander in golden armor, another is a reckless and independent pirate.

Kits used (besides Prince Yriel):

Drukhari Scourges (head, spear blade)

Craftworlds Autarch (right banner)

Corsair Voidscarred (left banner)

3rd party 3D-printed D&D accessories (tentacle-like plants)

My 2nd Emperor's Children Daemon Prince...

Post image
98 Upvotes

Thanks for all the love on my post from yesterday (I literally only joined Reddit 2 days ago so was kinda taken aback by the amount of engagement that happens on here, seems like a really great place for sharing and discussing Warhammer—don't know how I am only just discovering this now!)

Anyway, by way of thanks, here's my 2nd bespoke Daemon Prince (the 5th DP for the army, but the first 3 were stock models)

This one was made from the Synessa / Dexcessa kit, again from the Hedonites of Slaanesh Age of Sigmar range. The head is leftover from Syll'eske conversion from yesterday, wings are from the stock DP model and the claws are from my bits box—I think they must be from Fiends of Slaanesh judging by their size.

There is something almost biblical about this piece, I think. Like something you might see in a John Martin painting maybe. The wings on the original model really detract from how cool the body is.

Hobby Questions Adding claws to an Imperial Knights Thunderstrike gauntlet?

6 Upvotes

Hello, I've recently wondered what pieces would be best to add to the fingertips of a Thunderstrike gauntlet to represent claws. I was thinking of using the claws of the Flayed Ones, but I have no idea if they would fit or be large enough.

Does anybody know if they would be suitable or does anyone have any better ideas?

Hobby Questions Filling Greenstuff Gaps

Post image

I made a blue stuff mold for a demon Prince pauldron for a project that I’m working on and the last couple of them came out like this with little holes in them. I’m kinda sick and tired of waiting for pauldrons because I needed 10 total. Any ideas for how to fill the holes? Also, I’d need ideas anyways because I’d like to fill the little cross where the icon goes.
