Rescuing a WEIRD Warhammer eBay Conversion
Рет қаралды 77,813
Күн бұрынIt turns out that eBay has some insane hidden gems for some of the weirdest and most amazing Warhammer models. This particular one probably doesn't even crack the top 10, but the $3.99 price tag made it an instant purchase.
This one turned out a lot better than I expected and I think it actually worked out really well carrying over the vibe of the original conversion, let me know what you think! Thanks again for watching :)

He's got the black Templar cross, a golden lion, three blood drops on his casting hand, lightning striking an anvil on his knee... I definitely buy this guy being Deathwatch, seems like he goes around taking trinkets from every chapter he serves with. Or maybe even off of brothers that fall in battle. Could be he wears the symbol of a legion that despises him because of a strong connection to the person that wore it prior, maybe a Gimli and Legolas sorta situation. Anyhow awesome conversion, awesome video!

Exploring conversions seems like an interesting take. Some could be more like this model, where you try to improve on the concept. Others might be legitimate creative pieces, that you can repaint or finish. The market should be a lot smaller, so I expect you can find decent deals.

When I first started, I would use those plastic army tanks and other vehicles to stand in for 40K vehicles. They would get a prime and a fast spray paint to match the color of my troops. A wash a bit of dry brush and some decals. You could never use them in any kind of tournament, but they were fine for the kitchen table on a Saturday afternoon.

haha, good eye! I bought tickets to Bloodywood in my hometown and ended up not being able to go, I was so bummed because I've been a fan before the first album came out, I still haven't seen them. Mastadon comes around every so often, I saw about 6 months ago, and Gojira just before that. The Mega Monster tour isn't coming anywhere near me or I'd totally be in. I live in a weird concert deadzone, we get a handful of good bands coming through but not very often. I usually have to travel at least 3 or 4 hours to hit a good festival, and those are few and far between, so I feel your pain on not getting a proper tour coming through. Funny though, Brann Dailor comments on my videos from time to time, which absolutely blows my mind, so if you ever see him in the comments you could literally ask him when Mastadon is coming back to the UK lol.

@albertsweet4980 11 ай бұрын
Hi, just wondering if you have an issue with the LA heating up in your ultrasonic. I tried LA in mine for the first time today, and while it worked wonders on some Poxwalkers, the LA itself was heated up, almost like a hot tap water. Also, great job on the rescue, and repaint. Looks amazing.
@eBayMiniatureRescues 10 ай бұрын
I've never had any issues with it, although I have noticed that it loses its potency after a few uses. Mine always heats up, the sonic cleaner will just do that no matter what, which is why I don't even bother with using the actual heater on mine. LA's is mostly made up of water though, so it's not gonna catch on fire or anything, but you can definitely get it too hot for things like resin minis, so you just have to be careful. Also, the sonic cleaner I have has a temp reader on it, I try not to go over 50*c, not like that's close to boiling but it's still pretty hot.
