Hey Jeremy! For what it's worth, this is my favorite style of video from you! I love watching your kitbashing process whether it's terrain or a model, watching you work, and hearing your thoughts and meditations on the process or life in general as you go 🌠

really great! lovely video, message AND build

Kitbashing stretches your mini dollars and creates unique miniatures that no one else has. Love this video inspires me to do more kitbashing myself. My patreon dollars are well spent.

Jeremy's next big project: a book entitled "Zen and the Art of Miniature Madness" Inspiring video, good Sir Cheers!

The satisfaction you felt throughout this build is clear, and the end result is great. I'm excited to see where your change of perspective regarding your kit bashing parts collection takes you. Also, glad to know I'm not the only one who goes through hobby phases, lol. And I completely agree that inspiration is at least as important as instruction! Personally speaking, that's easily the most valuable thing I've gotten from watching your videos.

Loving the cinematography as of late, your video-making feels like it has leveled up!

I've always thought kitbashing would be fun, but at this point I feel like it'll take me longer to just accrue the necessary kits to bash. I need the poundstores to open back up so I can just go buy random junk.

I love recognising what models those Death Guard bits came from and seeing you use them in VASTLY different ways. Very cool build, bud!

Kitbashing is one of my favorite things to do. I made an entire Sisters of Battle army from a bunch of different kits and loved the way they came out.

I'm a dirt poor student, so I'm not able to buy the materials to do this stuff as much as I'd like, but every time I see one of your videos I get so excited about creating. Ps it's always nice to hear you share your experience and knowledge.

The inspiration drawn from this channel is staggering. Thank you for going out of your way to influence so many people's hobby adventures!!

This rules! Love the vibes. Always save your leftovers. Hoard them. #mecharat.

I'm glad you changed your mindset, as I'm one of those who doesn't even play tabletop I'm an artist and I enjoy all the crafting period...it doesn't matter what form. BMC is art to me.

I love the talk about personal signature style when it comes to a creative product. I am not making a rat-thing next, but you have still left me more inspired then ever!

Kit Bashing is such a joy, hunting for pieces, assembling, painting, and just having that one of kind piece.

Alternative title: Jeremy says wise words about creativity in miniature hobby with some nurgly goodness

Thanks for always having positive input and messages for everyone who’s looking to get into new hobbies such as this!

What keeps me personally coming back is not necessarily always what you’re doing, but often your approach to the process of going from material to product. Now with you “unbound” by what you limit your content to has only expanded your ability to share your ideas and process with creating.

I feel they same way. My favorite channel on KZfaq right here.

“General inspiration is just as meaningful and powerful-if not more so-than direct instruction.” I 100% agree. I am rarely, if ever, going to directly follow someone’s tutorial for making a model. I watch your vids and others for inspiration and new techniques more than anything else!

I *love* kitbashing. Not minis, but I kitbash Gunpla model kits. I love the puzzle-like situations of figuring out how to fit certain pieces while keeping the articulation instead of bluntly gluing, making new connections. This also allowed me to give new life to broken kits or kits which I didn't longer like as much anymore. If I ever got onto minis, it'd be impossible for me to not try to kitbash them as well. Is just so entertaining and cool.

I never use YT comments but I gotta say: one new chaos kitbash video from BMC or Miscast can single-handedly turn a bad day around. You rock!

I love how the entire voice-over is just talking about how you should kitbash. Also, the model looks great!

I can totally relate. Another good thing about being into multiple facets of this hobby intersection zone is that when you get a bit burnt out doing one thing you can switch to another and never get burnt out. When I get tired of painting minis, I switch to building terrain, or assembling kits, or 3D printing, and so on. Great video!

I love it. I love seeing you kitbash, you can tell from your face how much you enjoy it. It IS teaching people too, by showing how you construct it, showing your thought process and giving people inspiration. It's powerful stuff.

Jeremy! I have watched almost all your videos (if not all), since your ship building tutorial from YEARS ago! What's so interesting to me, is I have saved countless of your builds "for another day" to plan to follow the tutorials and yadda yadda... but honestly, I might never do any of that. I have come to the realization that I just like you and your channel -- and as you say, I pull SO MUCH inspiration and joy from just watching you do something and be happy about your build. That makes me happy and that's what inspires me to go do my own thing. Obviously, I learned a lot of great tips from your process and also by watching you fail and find your way out of it -- but at the end of that day I just enjoy you as a person. I relate well and your videos are top notch enjoyable from start to finish. Thanks for doing everything you do and for making videos like these for the community! :)

I just love watching you for inspiration and motivation. I shared you with my mother who loves just listening to you talk

I actually really like kit bashing videos because while I don't have YOUR spare parts lying around (or any cause i'm just getting into it and no money = no spare parts), doesn't mean I can't walk away with something creative from this. Your concept here is a baseline for what is possible rather than a how to make thing video.

I agree with the nothing is safe mentally. I use to stop my self from using my good paints when back when I painted on canvas because I didn't want to waste paint. When I started miniatures, the surface was so small I wasn't afraid of mistakes anymore and I now paint more than ever. I started painting minies because of you videos, thank you for all the wonderfully content.

I appreciate the little beast kitbash loading bar during the sponsored segment

Can Confirm, the reason I come back every week is to see what creative ideas you bring to life. I don't even build terrain, but seeing how you solve problems, and ad your own spin on things helps fuel me in my own creative pursuits. Great job, and keep it up!

I love it. The model is hideous in all the right ways, and the message is so heartwarming.

Fantastic build. Kitbashing is my favorite part of this hobby.

Kitbashing is my favourite part of the hobby. My ork army is kitbashed completely.

Doing my first kit bash collaboration this weekend with Raqrex. It was an enjoyable experience, out of my comfort zone without having the safety of already designed art/colour pallets! Thanks for the video.

Talk about the attention to detail! During the ad read I like the added touch of the model as a countdown slider.

honestly I find priming a kitbashed mini so rewarding. It finally stops looking like a disparate bunch of bits frenkensteined together, and is instead unified as the whole I envision it as.

Enjoying your videos, I haven’t jumped into the whole miniature hobby yet but I enjoy watching everyone’s creativity. Your channel is one of my top favorites.

After two months of constant watching, I’ve finally watched and like EVERY episode from Black Magic Craft! Absolutely awesome videos and super educational!! Thanks so much 😁

this is why I love these videos, you've put into words my very thoughts and feelings on this matter right here, yo!!! I love you man

that's exactly what I do, when I can't move forward in my projects, I just slaps together a bunch of random stuff and boom! relieving and inspiring ^^

Easily one of my favorite videos you've done. The model is fantastic, your commentary is so valuable, and of course I love me some nurgly goodness. Thanks for sharing!

Incredible message. 3 months ago I never dreamed I'd be spending time in a D&D terrain community, heck I'm a resin caster not a modeler... well I guess I'm working on being both. Maybe someday day I might actually play one of these games. 😀

I love kitbashing. I wrote my mechanicus army's lore that they are basically jawas, so I make sure to at the very least add some unique detail to every one.

I love that yellow-ish tone you are hitting instead of going green. It reminds me of that weird dude from Sin City. It's very sickly and disturbing and creates great contrast with the dark metal colours (comic booky?). Full marks, eh!

I've always done this with my models and such and I'm so grateful that this style has started being represented by creators with bigger followings, its so much more exciting to create unique figures from scratch for me personally :)

Not sure why, but this build brought me back to Dune, and the nurgley character in that movie... another great video, fun to watch your process.

Thats one of the reasons I back so many 3d file patreons each month. You get so many different sculpts from multiple creators, cut into so many different pieces. I back quite a few kickstarters for that reason as well. Between what I can print and what I have bought from GW and other companies, I have that freedom for whatever. I enjoy everything from building the models to painting, but I cannot just do one thing. I may break from painting for a month or so, but I am always building, printing, planning in the mean time.

I love kitbashing and bodgering. Nothing is sacred. Everything can be hacked to bits. It's all fair game for a fun game or good diorama!

When you were talking about needing to jump between different facets of the hobby and try different things... that's me with *all* my creative hobbies, tbh. I'll just cycle through different phases, where sometimes I'm building D&D terrain, then the next few months I'll be knitting or crocheting, then for a while I'll be drawing, and then it's sewing project time, then the holidays will hit and I'll be all about baking... I'm still waiting to cycle back around to making chainmail, but rings are so expensive. So needless to say, I completely empathize with your confusion about how someone can just stick with a single aspect of crafting for tabletop. Basically the way you do it, it's a good three or four different hobbies under one umbrella, which gives you more freedom to focus on whatever you feel inspired to do at the moment, and that really resonates with me.

This is the first video that I have ever watched from you. And honestly, I now consider this the most important video that I have watched in any of my time hobbying. Thank you for the way you put this together man seriously

Awesome to see the organic flow of random materials becoming a serious artistic build. I thought the last video was impressive with the slow "discovery" of what to make of 2 figures and 2 chopsticks (amazing process to follow, by the way) but I have to say this video was just as impressive. Great work and thanks for letting us "watch" over your shoulder!

Thanks to the inspirational work you and so many other fantastic crafters out there put out I recently made a mimic chest out of a broken box, cardboard, and clothes pegs. It came out fantastically and putting the finishing paint job on it gave me a feeling of pride I haven't felt before.

Fantastic model, way better than anything I've seen so far on KZfaq!

Thank you for showing us another amazing kitbashing video :) *Edit* I can't believe I didn't notice it before, but during the Skillshare segment your kitbashed model moving across the bottom of the video as the advertisement played, frigging awesome :D

Kitbashing has been my favorite part of your channel as of late!! Keep it up, I’m inspired to try my own!!

Jeremy, I'm really loving and admiring this zen-like, self-care mode you're operating in more. It's so refreshing to see a creator focusing not just on their craft but also on their own wellbeing. The inspiration here is twofold; the urge to kit bash is strengthened with this content, yet I'm reminded that it needs to be for ME. It needs to speak to ME. Thanks for the ongoing, great content. Very, very well done.

I swear your painting and your video-making both have gone up in quality by an order of magnitude since I started watching!

To shape stuff like the helm i have one thing you need: Water boiler. Diping something in hot water is a great way to make it semi moldeble for a short while. I tried it. Loved it!

Torment was seriously the most inspiring series you've made I think. Really inspired me to take Descent into Avernus and just rip it up and stick it together into my own campaign I'm super excited to run.

Awesome! I really love the painting on the boils! Really cool!!

Dude, well done! Love the way you explained your creative process. As a musician and inspiring MINI nerd myself you nailed it man. It's another creative release that we can use to express art. AWESOME.

Giant naked mole rat mutant.... Really turned out amazing! Converting miniatures is always fun.

This is fantastic. I love both the style of this video and the subject matter. I’m really appreciating watching your process when you work your passion projects and create something completely unique. It’s both inspiring and very pleasant to watch. Go Jeremy!

Respect! Such a cool kitbashing, message and inspiration for every hobbyist!

You are spot on. Your plague city videos inspired me to pull out my rampart bits that have been sitting and build something unique and permanent out of them rather than using them as modular ruins

I love the extra creativity in kit bashing and use of scrap parts. It’s artful!

"Not directly replicable" is fantastic. I don't even paint/build minis at all (preferring either 1/18 figures or 1/64 post-apoc vehicles), but I love it here for the ideas, the inspiration and the tutorials. My skills in my hobby have grown exponentially watching videos on topics outside my direct wheelhouse, but applicable. I also don't understand how folks can pigeon-hole themselves into one genre. I'll customize GI Joes, Marvel/DC, Star Wars, Transformers, etc., in addition to my own creations that may lie outside those or in several. It's too much fun to explore several universes.

Awwww, dude, you totally love me. You said it. Can't take it back. On a serious side, the vid, although different, was just what I needed. Been stagnant for two weeks now, and you have inspired me to try something wacky and different tomorrow, AND to hit up some yard / garage sales this weekend to look for thing I can "repurpose". Thanks man. Stay cool and cheers from Grande Prairie, Alberta.

So, I've recently found TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin and while watching this, I noticed the stickers on your spraying area and I was super excited to recognize him there. Very cool.

Next step: 3D modeling/kitbashing. This is something I enjoy alot that brings new possibilities. Believe me. Great work, as always!

Man, this beast looks incredible! Nice job!

Good stuff Jeremy! We love to see this kind of excitement. Sick build, great message, all-around improvement to my day after this

I jump around too. The only thing that restricts my ability to dip into the higher end pursuits is cost. (in short, the wife does not support my addiction). That's why I love your found object scratch build videos the best.

Wonderful video Jeremy. I love these types of videos from you and watching you bring a project to life and honest conversation. Absolutely awesome.

Over the past few months I have noticed the builds have deviated away from the type of stuff I like to build. Yet I am still here eagerly watching each video. Why? Because I am not so interested in building what Jeremy is building, I am looking for cool new ideas and inspiration. So I love that you are not worried about making things designed for us to build exactly the same way. You are tapping into the real creative side rather than the technical, follow these instructions approach. It's great!

Love this video and the points you make go across many kinds of crafting.

Great message. It’s why I keep watching your channel. I like to see what Jeremy is going to do next. All aspects of it are enjoyable

Amazing build and really nice video to watch. Great stuff!!

Kitbashing is my fav part of the hobby. I had this problem at first thinking "I can't do this, the model won't be legal" or if I did it, it was because "well the lore supports it because it's Chaos or whatever" but really, for most war gaming, people don't care. Do it, do that kitbash, remember a lot of old 40k would be kitbashed in White Dwarf. It's a good time.

love the mindset of this episode!

Dude,Bravo! Truly inspiring and honestly spoke to me on a real level. I have been doing the same thing in my own life and it has created and opened new doors for me to peruse in the craft. Also, I find that I end up utlizing all sorts of materials I have gathered and uaing them in new ways. Not only have I learned new techniques, but I am dabnling in new mediums as well. A true step forward in the path of the craft.

I love this video! This is the first video in awhile that has inspired me to jump in and kitbash something.

It's very simple sir. You're enjoying your journey not looking to your destination. And at the moment I'm building my dwarf adventurer in a sewer. Thank you.

thank you for putting into words that so many hobbiest feel i build gunbpla i started to get into kitbashing becuase i used to draw but i got into an artist rut and i felt unispired then i started to kitbash gunpla models together and for the first time this whole new creativity feeling overwhelmed me for the ggod every day i look forward to the next challenge and ideas that are waiting to come to life

Great inspiration! I really like your attitude and share your love of exploring your creativity.

I love your thought process on this video. It really hits me. I'm always like it HAS to be like the video. I've slowly started to make things mine.

I thought that ad progress bar was my phone's screen that was messed up, and had a mini panic attack lol

Awesome man, thanks for the encouraging words all along the vid, i needed them for starting my new project. That rat looks amazing!

Holy hootin' heck! That thing is monstrous in a manner that official GW minis are not.

Great piece! Awesome video, thoroughly inspirational. I was about 1/2 in and decided to start breaking down some undead prints for an undead centipede!

The projects that you are passionate about always shine the brightest

Honestly, it's just nice getting to see the process of your creation. I definitely want to look back at your guides and such when I have the ability to do stuff of this nature myself, but for now, I've personally watched to see the kinds of things you build and put together!

Truly a great way to be inspired! Thank you 😀

The concept from where this creature born reminded me your TPK Machine Video. Diffent builds, same principal. Love the resault.

That is one funky rat! I am kind of excited to see what proxy it takes on for your army. Keep us posted!

Love the message you always impart to the average gaming crafter! Glad we can keep you tubing the info you offer!

This reminds me of my Russian Ork kitbash and undead ork kitbash. Love a bash, I even kept my messed up 3d prints as inspiration and extra parts.

Wonderful video. Love the message. Love the kit bash.

A fave video, this one. Cool creature, but just everything you said is perfect!
