No, it still needs more.

"Symetrical guns on an ork doesnt work" hmmmmm... i dont know, but captured naughts from imperium are symetrical... hmmmmmmm

Just rule it so you roll a die to determine what weapon actually works during that turn, and I say prepare your table.

Just paint it red and it'll be fine

That’s the Manchester GW managers model. His model IS tongue in cheek

You could be wrong, but you are not! That is indeed a Tau "Bonding Knife", it is not there as a weapon, but as an icon.

Grubnar phew! Thought I was gonna embarrass myself then ..

Yeah, it does make lore sense. The placement still looks a bit funny though, at least IMO.

@@nicholassinnett2958 It would be better suited blade down on the center chest. And the honor knife itself might have looked better. (just my opinion)

TheOppl hopefully those ads can help with that

I've mentioned it on the discord stream before, but my windows 10 resets all mic sound settings at random, often during videos. This means that I end up with bizarre audio and end up having to make-do with what audio I get.

Thats a bit shit

@@TheOuterCircle fix it BUCKO

It fits the proportions of a T-72 better, it's not equal height of the vehicle, oddly shaped, etc.

I'm more on Maccas side on this one. Just cut it in half and it fits perfectly. But that's subjective.

I was gonna say, if anything that's a more realistically sized missile launcher. Russian TOS1 has a proportionately bigger launcher than that on it.

Interesting approach, but probably a bit to small then.

I do that Does it mean I am shocking

@@rebeccaschroder3000 very

I will ask people to submit some.

The Outer Circle, where can we submit them?

@@TheOuterCircle im happy to submit my abominations :D

@@TheOuterCircle I'm completely down.

Not cells, nacelles, as in engines, thrusters, etc.

The Outer Circle Oh! That makes alot more sense.

That's a ctually a very good point.

Yeah but then you have to wich tau pieces could acctualy integrate into it canonicaly and IRL cause you cant just stick a tau weapon on it and say it works there has to be a reason it works like whats powering it? How is it connected tp it? Do you see what i mean?

That's not how knights/titans work. So it would at least be a lore violation. That said, good luck with your project I hope you can make it work.

TheDemonWarlord Exactly also that tank that the rocket motor on top didn’t look bad I’ve seen things with Bigger guns than that before

I personally think that only orks can make the dreadknights passable, but that's subjective.

There's a TON in my Thousand Sons army, just check any videos on them or my characters.

if you're talking about the one at 15:35 I don't think it actually looks that bad. Sure the gun is oversized but it's a sniper in the 40k universe it's allowed to be long, and it still manages to be thin enough to not be silly. What lets the model down however is the posing, he looks like hes about to fall over

I was there in VDR days, but price usually stopped people going too crazy.

There's already a heap of it on this channel in various posts where I've shared my own armies. I like to put my money where my mouth is!

Ok, so looking at some of your stuff, I have to concede, a lot of it is pretty good. However, in my opinion you are at times guilty of some of the crimes you have mentioned on this video. For example: The Mortis Dreadnoughts in your Thousand Sons army; These are painted to a good standard and the conversions are very nicely executed, but, I think they are conceptually very poor. The venerable dreadnought model is quite flawed to start with in my opinion and in my mind doesn't quite fit with the Thousand Sons aesthetic (I am aware this is not a flaw in the conversion as this would be a problem regardless of the work done on the model). In addition, the missile launchers are too large for the model, making an already unbalanced miniature look even more top heavy. There is also a lack of visual continuity between the curved and elegant missile launchers and the rest of the model which is very boxy and sharp edged. It is very clear that in terms of modelling and painting, you are very competent. However, I thing this conversion was never going to look right regardless of how much effort was put in.

Guilty as charged. I often commit many 'crimes against the hobby' often due to the rule of cool or out of my own selfish desires. I freely admit this, and that's part of why it would be so very wrong of me to; a) make points about other miniatures and never show my own b) not listen to what people have to say regarding the matter c) think I'm above these mistakes, which I'm not There are exceptions, like the Dreadnoughts which look far better in person than in images, something many people have remarked on when they've handled them. It doesn't really matter, at the end of the day people are more than welcome to dislike my work, after all, it would be very boring if everyone only ever agreed with me!

That is a very mature response to what could be seen as simple trolling, Clearly you are able to take criticism well which I personally see as a commendable trait. This leads me to my major problem with this video in so far as there are a lot of people out there who do not take this level of criticism as well as you or I. Personally, when I was in school I was very severely bullied, in many ways one of the few places I felt welcomed and accepted was my local GW. I was able to go in there on a Saturday afternoon and completely open up and express myself in ways I would not be able to at school. I still feel that the vast majority of my best friends are people I have met either directly or indirectly through Warhammer. Whatever you think of the miniatures you have presented in this video, people like you or me have put hours of effort into excitedly building them. With very few exceptions, these people have posted these photos online because they are proud of them. While they are indeed asking for constructive advice on how to improve on their work, they have still taken a concept, gone out and bought a miniature/a few miniatures and bought that concept to fruition. If, 15 years ago I had seen a something like this, where someone has taken an image of something I have done and is using it as an example of "a bad conversion", I would have found it very upsetting and it may very well have driven me away from the hobby! Honestly, I think the intention of this video is a noble one, but I think you executed it quite poorly. If you had perhaps asked people to submit models of their own which they freely admit are poorly converted, or you yourself had delved into the stuff from early in your hobby career (god knows I could make a much longer video than this using just things I made 10-15 years ago). As a final point, although it does relate to one I made earlier. Your channel has now reached close to 5000 subscribers (congratulations on that, it is a big achievement) and with your tendency to produce content aimed at beginners, new players will find you. Considering your modelling and painting work is very competent, there is a good chance these new players will see you as something of a role model and something to aspire to. I don't think you should be using that amazing platform to present so much negativity. I'm sure the last thing any of us want is to drive away anyone who could otherwise be a lifelong hobbyist, as I am and as I'm sure you are. Please take this as constructive rather than just a simple attack. You have clearly put a lot of work into this and I would hate to see that go to waste.

if the 'community' doesn't like it, then fuck them

You're setting up people for disappointment, once they show their minis to their fellow hobbyists, only to be shut down, for their obvious mistakes.

Why even play an army, that doesn't look like a bunch of flayed one cosplayers?

-proportions -aesthetic continuity -visual overload -lore conformity -pose That's a good skeleton to adhere to, when it comes to conversions. He stated that it's subjective and even gave you a disclaimer so he's in the clear here. I don't know why you would assume, that he's trying to shield himself from criticism. I'm sure people would love to hear about your guidelines for what makes a competent conversion.

Not really, he did a rather good job bringing across his points, all valid criticism if you ask me.

MkZuO12345 I've done a sanguinius conversion using guilliman and the wings from a flamespyre phoenix, those wings are crazy big.

Your idea sounds a bit small in my head. I would convert a primarch if it were me. Probably an astorath style pose. Fulgrim seems like a great base for the model.

The necrons knight with the wire especially gets me. Why would someone do this to the knight?!?

HellDoggyjr I never liked the Imperial Fists ROW Stone Gauntlet, so this doesn’t bother me at all. So long they don’t get rid of the Imperial Fists Vigil pattern storm shields.

when the communists where removed i said nothing(because im not a communist) when the gays where removed i said nothing(because im not gay) when the gypsy,s where removed i said nothing(because im not a gypsy) when the jews where removed i said nothing( because im not a jew) and then they came for me, but there was no one left to defend me anymore...;-) yeah i know straight up pulling your leg godwin style. XD all im saying is sooner or later the parts and figures you like, are on the chopping block.... and no one will care if you are mad about it or if it bothers you as they all had their unfair share before you. oh well such is life..

Red Sampler If they get rid of the special characters, that would drive me mad.

if the sales are deemed low enough they will get rid of them asap. FW is like an avalanche(right now), and there is no telling when it stops if it stops and what it takes with it. its a sad thing because FW was the company that added special stuff where GW let the special stuff go. and now it ends up being the same damn thing GW is doing, only selling the bestsellers. and the special units are limited from now on i guess...

HellDoggyjr breacher siege Squads are NOT gone I'm looking at them right now.

Why convert something for the 40k setting, when you aren't adhering to it's rules? Might as well play frostgrave and just do whatever you want.

And the terminator legs with tactical torso is a true scale marine

Yikes that bameblade tho

Blanchitsu is code for sepia and shit.

I like John blanche

You should probably ditch your gf when she sounds like good old Macca.
