The funniest thing about them is that, the reason those missile launchers dont have any backblast was because Cawl basically reinvented the Bolter.

Cawl: AHA I'VE DONE IT, IT'S AMAZING Servo-Skull #4343-6245-9473: Cogitating... You have invented a larger boltgun. Cawl: FU-

The best part about the Desolation squad model is that EVERYONE is trying to fix them and there's a lot of variation for solutions. This one and Pete The Wargamer are definitely my favorites

@PearlJam2k6 5 месяцев назад

I saw Pete's video a few day ago as well, and while it works its not my favorite strangely. Slapping the entire gun on the backpack felt a bit too easy but the use of optics and arm-computers was very good.

@Alertacobra12 5 месяцев назад

@@PearlJam2k6 tbh I think both approaches look great, Pete did the "backpack gun" approach way better than anyone but Jay's approach is certainly unique since he actually kept the guns on hand which I haven't seen anyone attempt effectively

Until you realise theres no way petes desolation squad could fit inside a transport

@rbleisem 5 месяцев назад

@@PearlJam2k6 Indeed, just saw that one, his alternate arm options are interesting, though. I do like the added Fallout styled com-gear & that tablet. They need a way to store their rifles, when not in use, because then using that arm-computer thing or that tablet, could work. Thing is, I don't really see a spot, anywhere, that would work and they don't have any carry belts on their rifles. And why am I right now, remembering that Fallout Multi-Rocket Launcher or a modern day granate(?) launcher gun with a ammo-drum underneed it? Heh, Mechanicum robots, do share a look with Fallout Protectrons, so there is that one. And you could easily add in some Starcraft styled armor mounted headlights as well, for when you really need some light to see by. Heck, is there room for a Iron Man Arc Reactor, by change? Iron Man armor mk1 & mk1B. I think that if you are careful,several different setups could be made. Anti-Heavy-Armor, Anti-Heavy-Troop, Scout, Command, Demolish-ion. Heck, it could even form a nice objective tile, a command tile,tablet guy, calling guy, radio thingy guy, Protectron protection to fill out to five units.

@tiberiumnp8030 5 месяцев назад

One actually nice thing about this kit is that I’ve now seen maybe a dozen different takes on how to improve these. Really cool that folks didn’t just settle on one way to kitbash them. Personally I simply swapped the arms for devastator squad missile launchers and glued the little rocket pod at an angle to their backpacks.

@LuponTravler 5 месяцев назад

Looks realy good! but one thing I would suggest is if your going with the idea that thes are discardable box launchers you might want to use the extra launcher cells as reloads somewhere on the modle to help tell that idea, kind of like how old marine launchers had a pack just for more missles.

@euansmith3699 5 месяцев назад

@julienansay2979 5 месяцев назад

It’ s a pity that you don’t kitbash more often. You brought originality, sobriety and credibility! Which is the essence of conversion. Those Nerf sounds like a junior over tanked conversion. You can really call this a success now

@proxy7863 5 месяцев назад

@TheTygre 5 месяцев назад

You made them look amazing! The crosses on Black Templars helmets is simply inspired, and I’m surprised I haven’t seen it before. Between that and the giant guns, your Templars look straight out of a Rob Liefeld comic, and I mean that in the best way possible.

@BoisegangGaming 21 день назад

That beaky templar cross looks amazing! Also putting the grenade launchers on the backpacks is a great idea!

@kl1thedominion 5 месяцев назад

On the subject of Primaris naming conventions, I've been referring to them as Desolators this whole time without realizing they're actually called Desolation Marines/Desolation Squad. I love these models because of the way they've inspired people to improve them.

I really like how you modeled these!!! If i ever get this kit, Ill likely be using this as a reference to make mine look not as derpy haha

@alessiodecarolis 5 месяцев назад

Another way to explain how your new (eccellent) converted missile launcher works could be as a PIAT, with an huge spring launch the missile and After some meters the rocket is activated. Logically, with someone such as strong as a SM, it would be very easy to recharge the launcher.

@dracomundos 5 месяцев назад

@gmanplaysgames256 Месяц назад

Phenomenal work. Your work with the Primaris models makes me like them a lot more, my biggest peeve with Primaris Marines compared to Firstborn is they all look too samey (within a squad), the old Tactical Squads and Devastators and such gave you more options to kit out individual marines to give the squad some personality and see each one as a unique soldier. Your alterations not only resolve this issue but also fix the stupid guns into a more believable, but still very Warhammer-y slightly silly chunkiness I expect from Marines.

5:05 "The gun is really more just a trigger and they take these rocket pods, stick them to the bottom, fire them off, and then just toss them." Wait a minute, that basically the Rocket Launcher from Halo!

Amazing work as always. I would've painted the rocket tip red or something tho. Its a little plain having a gray rocket in a gray tube.

@RandomIdiotGS 3 месяца назад

Absolutely love your solution. I'm actually in the camp that thinks the Desolation squad looks "okay", just not thematically fantastic. It looks overthought on the weapons and underthought on everything else. If I bought a set of these, I would likely have done something similar with the missile launchers and I possibly would look into doing something to their armour to make them a little more unique. I had an idea of kitbashing Heavy Intercessors and a Desolation squad if I ever buy them. You could base them on 32mm to use them as a heavy Gravis looking Desolation squad, or even base them in 40mm and interchange them with Eradicators, or you could even do a magnetized 32mm on top of a 40mm to switch between both.

@Rook986 5 месяцев назад

@richardrussell7082 5 месяцев назад

Useless side note: In the real world the back blast issue is worked around by 'cold launching' the missile with, basically, a compressed air blast or small launch charge. Once clear of the launcher the rocket propellant ignites for full thrust.

@grimmriffer 5 месяцев назад

Just like the Pillsburry Doughboy marines you modded a while back, this kit looks *great* .... when you completely change it. Great work, your army is looking fiiiiiiine, boiy!

@CMDR_BananenKeks 5 месяцев назад

Like you said, the reason they look silly is the way a rocket launcher works. But I really like your conversion, especially the mounted rocket launcher instead of the camera. Imo the camera on GW model looks weird in teh position it is

@_Qan 5 месяцев назад

Holy Emperor, this is exactly how I wanted to fix the desolators. Great minds think alike!

@Karloss00 5 месяцев назад

It's a good take. I personally think if I was ever to start a marine army and use these; I would scrap the kit and convert my own entirely with just intercessors and an arm swap. My idea would be to make a salvo launcher, looking a bit like the cyclone missiles but on a gun held like a heavy bolter (with the support arm holding it at the top). If you've ever seen Deep Rock Galactic, it would look like the Gunner's missile launcher.

@noquarrel2758 5 месяцев назад

My assumption is the rockets are 2 stage- one thump to clear the rocket from the launcher, the next stage is the acceleration stage. Since space Marines are super strong they can handle the recoil of the first stage without back blast. Maybe.

@allbalasar6957 5 месяцев назад

@Zachafinackus 2 месяца назад

I definitely think that the double missile launcher would have looked better as and under-arm weapon (from GW, your conversion is sick), that way it can off-gas under the elbow, and carrying one in each hand would look better than either two shoulder supported launchers or what they did in this kit.
