Finally, the advice we all want to hear. “Buy more minis.” Lovely end piece. Simply superb

I started to feel like my grandma when I had my third blue butter cookie tin filled with bits. Feels good to have an assortment of accoutrements for any occasion though!

I am relatively new to the hobby, and have never kitbashed before. As a woman in this hobby, I often struggle to find miniatures I can connect with, and have been wanting to alter some minis for some time. I found this video useful and inspiring - thank you so much!

Gives me a real "planescape" vibe; that mix of fantasy with industrial vibes. Great stuff!

Well explained Alex, great for those who haven't done kit-bashing or conversions before. I've been doing them for 40+ years, but I still liked the way you gave concise explanations to the processes.

What a great vid for inspiring GW hobbyists who've so far only built to the instructions, it shouldn't be so off putting to make an expensive kit into your own take. This was a lovely balance of structural substitution and aesthetic tinkering and such a thoughtful introduction. Genuinely information dense with powerful tricks like mixing milliput and greenstuff but never feeling like it because Alex naturally embodies both earnest and laid back all at the same time. Another inspiring hobby signpost to a more imaginative game!

this is so great because the guy is calm and clear, and I really appreciate that energy

All of your videos are so well thought out. I appreciate your efforts for the hobby! Keep up the awesome videos!

Kitbashing videos are always fun, especially hearing your progress of going about it ^^ So thank you for the awesome and insightful video once again Alex.

This was great! I love your kitbashing videos; one tool that I haven't seen ANYONE use that I use quite religiously is an engraving tool - it's particularly nice for cleaning up green stuff or poor glue jobs, the kit I got was super cheap and came with tips down to 0.1mm

Doing the details to give yourself some time to think is a great advice. I do it all the time and it works great!

I love kitbashing! Excellent advice!

Another great video from you - absolutely love your continued enthusiasm for the hobby. Thanks for sharing!

Looks great. The wings remind me of a skin for Nemesis from the Smite video game.

sweet more kitbashing. glad you did some more.

Very excited to see another kitbash video she looks amazing!! I can't wait to see her painted Also love the format of this video it was nice to have you talking directly to us great video Alex :)

A tremendous tutorial and kitbash! Thanks for sharing!

That looks amazing, flipping the 'wings' created so much character and atmosphere. Awesome vid!

Great walkthrough, thank you Alex!

I love how you sourced the other bits to make something that didn't really fit into your army seem like a (showy) natural addition to it! Looking forward to seeing it painted up!

Another wonderful and inspirational video. I am a big fan of kitbashing and try to incorporated it as much as possible with my minis. Really like this subject, well done Alex!

A great tutorial with a lot of helpful tips. And the lighting at the end of the video---Wow! Another nice touch which makes your videos such stand outs irrespective of the subject. 🤟

Heck yeah, always love to see a kitbash vid! Great to hear you talk through the process. MaxMinis have some really interesting bits - their line of Sonic Guns are some of the coolest bits I've kitbashed with.

That's a GREAT bash...can't wait to see it painted! Will have to go back through your other videos now 🤘🤠

Great video Alex, thanks a lot! Please do more kitbashing projects, they are very inspiring - and I hope we can soon see a video for the painting of your custom Yndastra 😏

Fantastic video and the model looks amazing

I just love your stuff!

Great video Alex , cant wait to see your paint scheme for her.

Wonderful, practical guidance, as always. Much of the details I knew already (some I have even done!) but I still always learn a thing or three from your well done, videos. Alex. Also props on kitbashing a rotating showcase spinning platform from a tabletop and your hand :D

Another quick helpful video!

Great video! I do kitbashing for years, and I'd like I had a video like this when I started.

What have we done to deserve another 52 Miniatures video so quickly! 🎉🍻🍾 This pleases me!

Nice tonal change to the lighting. It showes of your workspace well while you are talking. Also, that's a very sophisticated turtable you used at the end. I've never seen one with a pause feature before.

love the gladiator helmet, and the "up-side-down" wings

Amazing work!!!

very cool project and awesome end result.

I like the heraldic look of your stormcasts, I've been looking for schemes since I find the pure gold I started with gaudy after a while and I might do it like that.

Thank you for giving me such wonderful inspiration! New to the hobby, and dunno if I'll ever play any games. But I swapped the head on one of my Gretchin and Runtherds, there's a painboy around, so it makes me happy! More often we should do what makes us happy! Thanks for spreading that love!

Super cool kitbash, and great explanation of your process too. I'm all inspired to try to make some clockwork steampunk wings for Celestine now!

Looks great. Getting Diablo vibes from that mini.

Cutting things away I don't like is a easy way to personalize my mini's. Bonus is you don't have to paint them either.

Something I do with my leftover sculpting material is make it into a ball and use it to fill big cervices in kitbashes the balls can also be cu in half to make bubbles for your lava, swamp, and toxic waste bases I also place unusable bits in crevices before I ass the filling material just to make myself use less sculpting material this saving some money.

Great stuff friend 👏 👍 Thanks for sharing your journey

This is SO cool

I've hust risen from a 24 hour covid coma to find a new video. Fate? Mayhaps! Cheers Alex

Fantastic video, I'll have to make me some sprue glue as well this seems really useful

Simply the greatest hobby youtuber

New video, yay!

Hoping we get to see a paint job for this mini, very eager to see a unified theme with those cool spikey (less so after tiny spike removal) wings!

this is cool!

When a miniature company or a 3D artist says that their products are compatible with other miniatures, take that with a very light pinch of salt. The reason I have ended up with the amount of spare bits that I currently have, is because I tried mixing and matching different parts for different armies/characters, only to find out that the parts don't fit properly.

some good tips in there, also for an experienced player

I am so careful with cement and smoothing filing/sanding because it can make itgummy real fast and is a pain sometimes lol

Next video, yndrasta the gladiator painted please 😊

Wait, I love those rectangular, more Romanesque shields. They looks 3d printed, but I could be wrong. I haven't finished the video yet (I'm sure it's great) but I wanted to stop and ask! I'll come back and edit this if this is answered in the video.

Greetings from your German viewer ^^ . nice kitbash :)

He is not a wizard but he has magical.

That's a beautiful thumbnail

why are you kitbashing?? 'cause i can' well done, love it

She looks awesome 😊😊😊

I sit down to paint in track pants and a ripped t shirt, this man is impeccably dressed 😂

Cool kit bash! The hobby is expensive enough… I can’t imagine anyone having whisky to throw around on cleaning their hands 😂

Hi Alex, looking at you doing kitbash seems so easy, but, may I ask a question? Why sword and spear? It seems strange, and how will you paint the hidden parts, now that you glued the wings on her back? Thanks

wouldn't the feather wings be perfect for the owl theme you have going on?

Did you ever get around to painting it?!?

subscrived and like just only for the automatic rotating device; just like mine

Keep getting spooked thinking you might cut yourself 😅

You touched on the most import part but never said it, the #1 rule is to keep all bits from all minis you've ever built so that you don't know where anything came from!

I know it’s all a matter of taste but I’m mildly perplexed at you removing details like the lettering on the steps. Those sorts of things are what create texture and interest for me. Opinions and all that. Still a great video, even if I don’t necessarily share your aesthetic tastes.

Is there a reason you're using a box cutter instead of a hobby knife? That just seems needlessly dangerous to me... But maybe it cuts better?
