Sounds cool, always happy to see anything about mechs, and orbital drops are objectively the coolest way to launch into battle

The ghostkeel is a cool looking kit I've always wanted to try something with, but I've already made a BT-7274, got a video on it too if you wanna see how I did it

@@DumbRobotStuff-fh6dz I just so happened to find that video right after! It looks great! If you were to ever do something with the ghostkeel I would love to see you do something titanfall themed with it because it looks just like a mash of a couple of different titans

Thanks, my love for mech designs in general is what inspires these builds, so I'm glad that comes through and makes my videos interesting for more than just the warhammer part

Thanks, and that's the wonders of converting, you can take something you don't like, and change it until you do

Thanks, and good luck with your own build, sounds cool, I do like a good mecha-tank

Tell us more about this seeming mech tank!

@@nicolastousignant9160 Oh sure! So the army I'm working on is themed kind of loosely on Battletech mercenaries and space pirates - it's an Imperial Guard army by the rules, but I wanted them to be very distinct. So I'm making all of the 'tanks' into mechs, using Genestealer Cult Neophytes for the infantry except with headswaps to be normal humans. Plan is to start with a Redemptor dread as a base, reverse the joint at the knees, lengthen the torso, and mount the main gun cannon on the right arm, with the sponsons going where the storm bolters on a regular Redemptor would go, and the heavy stubber and lascannon mounted on the 'nose'. The area where the sarcophagus would normally peak out will be converted to a more typical pilot seat. If I can pull it off, it'll look something akin to the Battletech mech the Bushwacker, though obviously not exact. So overall a longer, lower more birdlike mech design that should still feel beefy enough to read as a 'tank'. That's the intention at least.

@@mistformsquirrel that sounds awesome! (Also a great mech) hopefully this is something we get to see at some point

Yeah, not everything turns out perfectly and there's some stuff you just gotta roll with, but I think it's still a pretty good model at the end of it all

Good luck, and to get started, take a look at some of the titanfall designs you like, and see what parts you can replicate, doesn't have to be anything crazy at first, I'm only at this point after kitbashing almost constantly for 2-3

@DumbRobotStuff-fh6dz I'll do that thank you so much for the motivation and help

I haven't had the chance to played it myself, but I did back the kickstart for it years ago, and I'm a huge fan of Payton Gee's art for it. Not sure if I'd know enough to kitbash something based on it, but I always appreciate the cool mechs at least

it's about 11-12cm, which I think is around the same size as an armiger, so it should work as a stand-in

I am planning on making another questoris knight conversion soon, and I will be making a video on it, so I’ll be sure to mention how I made my old one in the video too

​@@DumbRobotStuff-fh6dzngl I really wna try making one for the prismatic galleries

@@DumbRobotStuff-fh6dz your work inspire me a lot Plan to buy new Knight and turn into Armored Core

I've been making conversions for a while now so I do have a lot of leftovers from previous builds. Depending on the build, and if I don't have the parts already, I buy one or two kits to use as a base, try to use as much of those bits as I can, but also get some bits individually from elsewhere(normally ebay) if I'm looking for a specific detail/shape

@@DumbRobotStuff-fh6dz Wicked. Cheers for the response, mate.

Hell Yeah

Probably something similar to this, I just have an urge to make mechs, an invictor might make a good base for an ion maybe

@@DumbRobotStuff-fh6dz a Titanfall styling embarking space marine on a Invictor Ion kitbash you'd make would send me to heaven

Yeah, marines are real popular so they get a lot of stuff. Depending on how popular the sub faction they get anything between: nothing, occasional transfers in big boxes, upgrade kit parts, fully unique models and even their own collection boxes. Guard gets some kinda sub faction stuff, even if they get rolled into their usual army in the end, like their attilans, or the killteams like kriegs. I'd love anything like that for my main army of admech, we just get told to paint them differently

@@DumbRobotStuff-fh6dz it’s a shame isn’t it

It is what it is, but if nothing else it's a good excuse to kitbash and convert more

1mm, I find that generally works for most cases

You're right, it's definitely not cheap, but it can be made to not be super expensive, like this build: I said I had the redemptor spare, which was from the black templar army set(bulk boxes like those and combat patrols are cheaper than buying them all individually), I got the armiger legs as a leftover from some previous builds, all the stormraven parts I got as a box of unused bits from someone second-hand on ebay(always great for spare bits to convert with), I got the arms 3d printed from a local 3d printer for relatively cheap, and I buy a lot of bits individually on ebay or from bits sites, so I don't have to buy whole kits for a few parts. And with all this time I spend building, it takes me way longer to make stuff, which means I don't need to buy as much stuff to always have something to be working on, so it kind of evens out a little in the end too
