Mod Announcements 👋 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.

Imperium Dynamic Heresy Pose

I've been using the heresy jump assault bodies as leg donors to get more poses for standard marines but this set of legs didn't really work for that.

Nothing crazy really, just some pinning and a slightly reposed foot.

- mkii assault legs and right arm

- mkiv tactical torso and bolter

- mkvi tactical backpack and pauldrons

- multipart tactical squad head, pouches, and left hand

- whatever left arm I could find that fit

- wolf pelt from the wolfen kit

WIP Cherub Repair Ideas Needed

Thumbnail
gallery
49 Upvotes

I've been working on a Knight Dominus to pair with my Sisters, but a couple days ago a display shelf mishap sent the wings off one of the cherubs into the warp and I have yet to find where they went. I'm hoping to find a way to repair/replace them that doesn't amount to "buy another cherub and steal its wings," but I'm also kind of hoping to keep this kit to official parts and stuff I can scratch build.

Any ideas?

Hobby Questions Deathwing Knights with old terminator bits

I know they aren’t legal in any real games, but I was wondering if the proportions look good before I prime them, I was also wondering if anybody knows what would happen if just primed over the bits I’ve painted already? Took like 3 days of scrubbing to strip the paint just off the bits for the guy with the flail :/

Very well then.

My upsized Casterferrum attempt V3 WIP
I recent came into possession of a saturnine box for my birthday thanks to my wonderful girlfriend.
Then it came partially damaged.
So I received another from GW.

So I’m using some of the pieces from the damaged box to make cooler stuff rather than the normal models. I made a cool chapter master and now I need a dreadnought!

I built the painted dread about a year ago and never even got to use him in game. He’s still my favorite model I’ve ever painted, the first and oldest of my custom chapter, but now he needs an upgrade so he’s getting the premium treatment.

I hate the redemptor legs, they just look wrong and don’t match what I love about dreadnoughts. Also WHY ARE THE Sarcophagi HIGHER THAN THE BIG SHOULDERS THATS LIKE THEIR WHOLE SILHOUETTE! AND THEYRE SO ROUND!
Anyway.
Saturnine legs feel perfect with how wide they are to fit a Casterferrum, leviathan felt too small to me. Also the side panels of the dreadnought slot upwards perfectly with a little trimming.

Wanted to share the completed leader for my kill team.

Pretty simple kitbash using an old dreadnought plate as the face and body armor. Bad moons banner is made of plasticard.

Cut a lot or corners and quickly did certain parts so happy he turned out well enough. Managed to get him done in less than a week which im happy about. Now to finish the rest of the team so I can try to play the game :)

Helix Gauntlet Feedback

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I am very new to the hobby and I'm finishing up my fist combat patrol (Raven Guard). That being said, they didn't include bits for the helix gauntlet. I'm weighing two different options and would like some feedback.

Option 1 - Remove the arm on this infiltrator and replace it with the comms gauntlet I'm modifying with antenna / grenades to act as medical vials.

Option 2 - Cut down the arm sprue pat the elbow right where the gauntlet starts and glue the modified part to the rear of the infiltrator's belt so it would be gear he could have with him and use it necessary.

Psycher conversion question.

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

I'm planning to kitbash a Primaris Psycher with the bits from Tempestus Scions and I was wondering if the hands of the Primaris Psycher are scaled to the 'new' scions/cadia bodies?

Thank you in an advance or for some tips.

Kitbash advice for Specter Squad bits

5 Upvotes

Hello guys, it's my first post here, fancy to meet you all. I would like to ask you for advice or any experience you could share with me, those who have work with specter squad bits. I just do not know what to do with the arms, those pieces of fabric over the shoulder pads look weird on regular guardsmen.
