Usually I really like (and prefer) my chaplains to have the “ribs” on their torso armor, to match the skull helmet But you surpassed that. Take my absolutely meaningless award for “best Terminator Chaplain conversion” Now time to go hunt down a spare Leviathan terminator captain…

It's brilliant, you turned a mediocre mini into something really threatening and more dynamic. Thank you.

Showing the end result first made me subscribe. Conversion, paint job. Yep! Great job.

Thats amazing! Def want to see a painting tutorial on this. That armor is fire!!

"Showing the end result first made me subscribe. Conversion, paint job. Yep! Great job." I have had the exact same thought and reaction. Well done.

The new pose, the scythe and beautiful paint job make this model look so bad ass

While I disapprove of Chaplains not holding their signature weapon, what you did with the scythe was great and has grown on me, great job! This video has given me ideas for not only customizing my own terminator characters, but the rest of my minis. I’ve found kitbashing to be scary but your use of spare bits should how “useless” bits to be worthwhile. Hope to see more beautiful minis!

Awesome work Liam! great tip about warming up the resin!

this inspired me to convert leviathan terminators into brotherhood chaplains , thanks!

That’s awesome I bought the starter set last year when I got into the hobby and have had one of these captains half painted on my desk for the last month the only thing stopping me from finishing it is the base I might cover up the dead tyranid with miliput to make it better fit the theme for the rest of my army but you’ve made me want to pick up another one off eBay and play around with converting it

Just finished my terminator chaplain the other day!

Ok so you convert 40k minis and make videos about them? Done, I'm subbed!

Great tips from a great artist 🙌

Im serious this is a real piece of art. 40 000 times better than the original one

Nice! I love this model but I thought it could have down with some editions, you definitely delivered

Greenstuff and superglue is a great tip, thanks!

Great conversion! That paintjob looks awesome :D Also, sorry if this is an annoying question that's been asked and answered before, but what is the wire thing on your painting handle?

Could you make a vid on a step-by-step conversion of Trazyn the Infinite?

If you liked the belt why wouldn’t you trim the legs to just below it’s belt or slide the captains belt off and put it on the chaplain legs?

is the base model not primaris? It looks small like the old models.

Do you have a painting tutorial for this one? I really like the paint job.

6:59 - *I heal, plastic does not.*

the original looked so derpy. This looks like an actual terminator

That’s fucking sickkk!!!

What black was used? Looks great!

Badly posed and a lackluster paintjob is how I would describe the new terminator chaplain model, your version is much nicer though I do miss the Crozius.

Discord link didnt work

>Scythes of the Emperor army Say no more

"Mate" really is a mean name for a Chaplain... splendid job.

Think this conversion would be easier to do when the Multi Part Terminator captain gets released.

I agree completely! Its a very bland model especially compared to how good the terminator captain and librarian look. Great kit bash 🤝

I like the painting and in general the model. But not the scythe. A Chaplain is a priest, not an overwatch or fortnite chararacter... I don't the scythe looks like an ancient and sacred relic they keep in their armory. I could agree on a thunderhammerpickle or something like that.

W T F 10/10😮

Scars on your thubs....I...do....not...know...what...you....mean.......😢it hurts 😢

Homie... treat yourself, buy even a cheap rotary tool like a dremel and it'll make conversions 100% easier.

its a little bit on the nose i know............buddy it is space marines if they were ever subtle about anything they would not be space marines looks absolutely amazing

... and WOW! That BLACK ARMOUR looks Amazing. How it was painted? Will there be a painting video for this Chaplain? P.S. I've foundan answer in "Kitbashing a Salamanders Captain Video". I'll consider being a patron in the future. Kind Regards.

Looks way more badass

Great work dude

"... I know it is a little bit on the nose for Scythes of the Emperor..." I don't think one needs to worry about being too on the nose when doing 40k 😄😄😄👍

If you only have like a handful of scythes and you want a bunch of them So you don't have to keep on spending a few bucks on a set every time Make a 2 part mold of all of your favorite weapons out of silicone So this way you can just pour into a little hole that has been Placed near the weapon so you only have to pour resin into one area Also making sure you have a air vent on the other side And also maybe using some toothpicks and BBQ skewers to create channels for the resin To flow freely throughout the area you also have less of a chance of creating air bubbles By doing that and plus toothpicks and wooden BBQ skewers aren't Expensive or super big So they won't take up much space and you can just press them into the Play-dogh if anything When you're forming the first half of the mold I mean you can always just do one single mode a little one Or you can do a bigger one that has like 5 or 6 weapons or On them or even body parts like heads arms torso Legs backpacks I mean as long as you don't recel parts No one can really say a thing about it to you 30 bucks on a bottle of resin Have a few molds already made from silicone Cast most of the parts that you will Use And you can have your army a lot quicker and cheaper And that way they are official models not 3D prints And as long as they are properly painted An properly cleaned up from any flash AKA mode lines Other than their weight most GW Tournaments won't be able to say they aren't real And they're not proxies they're just your copies, I plan on doing this for some gundam models that I have And in the future for When I plan on doing my Dorn heresy loyalist iron warriors or Mortifactors Because I don't want to have to carve every single bone ornament 50 times Like the jawbones that Sit around the collar of the Regular Marines Neck Or have to modify a chaplain mask for Almost every single member of the Army that isn't A Scout

The Scythes of the Emperor conversions you do helped inspire me to make my own chapter that has scythe-wielding characters. I'm just unsure how to make them work with the chapter master, captains, and head chaplain though... A lot of them are posed for swords and guns. Also unsure of what to do with the left over bits from the Death Guard scythes pack.

Love the idea, and paintjob. I took the idea and made a chaplain for my custom successor chapter, although i kept the chaplain chest for mine. thanks for posting this video.

I like how you chose to go with a scythe, I would be annoyed if a chapter called "The Scythes of the Emperor" didnt use any scythes

"Don’t need to be perfect, when you don’t see it“ Germans and Japanese would disagree 😅

Really don't like the helmet on this terminator chaplain lol. They really designed it derpy asf lol. Cool conversion though, I learned a few tricks anyway, cheers.

Is possible to cut the parts without destroy all every time? 🙏🏻

Man that miniature is great I just wish the aos blood nights where easy to convert.

very nice Conversion - and i love the Commentary as well - keep on pushing Brother !

Saw this on pinterest! So glad theres a video on it!!! You are a legend! I shall be cloning this conversion but maybe a printed crozius ❤

The final result looks awesome!

Hail Reaper!!!! Hail Libertas!!!

Love the more dynamic Pose! Could you maybe, if you have the time, make a Tutorial on how you painted him?

Awesome job, my man. Love it! 👍🏻

Cool 👍

Love it! Great video and commentary ❤

Great work mate

Converting the annoying clickbait "blurred result in thumbnail" gimmick into a Don't Recommend Channel click.

Not a big fan of destroying models for conversions. Also, a Chaplain with no Crozius is no Chaplain at all. It isn't just a weapon, it's a badge of office. All in all, I think you could have achieved very similar results with a few more scrolls, small "shoulder plaques" (those small "shields"), tabard, purity seals, personal heraldry. You can find tons of them in old Captain, HQ Squads and Veterans sprues.

Take a rather bland chap and turn it into something better? That's a win for me.
