Got a load of Warhammer Gargant parts left over that you don't know what to do with? How about build a whole giant for a fraction of the cost of the Games Workshop kit, using a McDonalds toy as a base?! These giants or ogres look awesome and can be used for any wargame or RPG - be it Age of Sigmar, The Old World, Frostgrave, Dungeons & Dragons or whatever you like!

Incredible how just a few GW bits can take a solid base model with simple craft items and make it fit perfectly in the range.

@PraetorGix 3 месяца назад

Very nice job! What a great idea to use Happy Meal toys for conversions, the result is very convincing as an AoS proxy.

@ChrisOsberg 3 месяца назад

This was fantastic! Honestly, it's a bit dangerous, because I only need a couple more videos this good to make me start collecting random toys, and I'm already running low on storage.

@MiniatureMashUp 3 месяца назад

You certainly took this conversion much farther than I did. Nice work.

@bretticus6722 3 месяца назад

This is Brilliant its like a cross between Toy Peloi and a Warhammer Kit Bash!!!❤

This is a very, very cool idea! I already have an idea for taking one of the new Bandai King Ceasar figures--which have shite paint jobs--and repainting it into a better presentation of the character, and this is giving me ideas as to what else I can do in this realm. Good video!

Nicely done, Look at all those battle beasts! your prop and toy collection looks great, A room tour of your collections would be awesome to see. 👍

@AtticRaidersRetroReviews 4 месяца назад

Full Battle Beast collection (weapons with all of Series 1, but only a couple of Series 2 or 3 weapons), only one Laser Beast though. Yes, a video tour might be worth doing at some point if I can move my 3D printer to somewhere else so I can tidy a bit more!

@dejahthoris1808 4 месяца назад

@@AtticRaidersRetroReviews Cool! A tour would be great. I believe I had most of the Series 1 battle beasts in my childhood, lots of nostalgia around them anyway, I still clearly remember the battle beasts toy commercial, though collecting them now isn't something i'm overly interested in doing given my expensive collecting of everything classic Traveller and citadel miniatures from the 80s, but great to see your battle beasts collection in the background.

That's very epic and creative of taking a cheap toy into an amazing figure!

Emiliano here. If I had a nickel for every time one of my works ispired a RU-vid video, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right? The other one was the gelatinous cube by DMScotty.

I am absolutely going to use this as inspiration for a cheaper Sons of Behemat army for Age of Sigmar. With prices rising, I need to cut down costs wherever I can, and this seems like a fantastic place to start! Good work!

@modelermark172 3 месяца назад

It never fails to amaze me what modelers can do with cheap toys, combined with a well-stocked bitz box and a few sundry household items. This is an excellent piece that would look well in a game or on a display shelf! Thanks for sharing this; both for your techniques, and the inspiration! 479th like.

It's quite incredible how easy this looks but how hard doing figures actually is

@AtticRaidersRetroReviews 4 месяца назад

I find that the electric sanding puts me off mostly because of the mess, and the filling is tedious - though Milliput is MUCH easier to use than Greenstuff.

@selrahcmoonandstar 4 месяца назад

He looks so good, great job painting! The priming step is always my favorite with both conversion and terrain because that's when you can really see how it all comes together. When he was primed grey he looked like he was made that way from a kit, well done, subscribing and excited to see more of your channel!

@asafoetidajones8181 3 месяца назад

Agreed. I convert and kitbash a lot and priming is definitely a Magic step. I also drybrush as part of my underpainting, and that's magic too because so much stuff suddenly pops.

@selrahcmoonandstar 3 месяца назад

@@asafoetidajones8181 the drybrush is my secret for terrain painting too! It lets you see all the detail and is exactly like a magic undercoat for painting wood and other textures!

@asafoetidajones8181 3 месяца назад

@@selrahcmoonandstar i drybrush often on minis, and I make and paint a lot of terrain, but it's pretty rare that I drybrush my terrain. Idk it's in a different conceptual box in my head. Maybe I need to more.

@selrahcmoonandstar 3 месяца назад

@@asafoetidajones8181 give it a try sometime! You can see the results in some of my recent videos where I make stuff with wood texture cardstock like my bigger crates or barricades

@LordTulip2nd 3 месяца назад

"Today, we're going to improve the design of this mcdonalds toy. First thing we're gonna do is take the easy way out and replace the head with a Warhammer head." Although you did an amazing job, it feels like you're cheating by replacing things instead of actually trying to improve the thing itself.

@rustys6106 3 месяца назад

@Etsugal 4 месяца назад

Fantastic conversion! I love your skin painting, the way you've got layers of depth- veins and discolorations showing through from within. And the raw inflamed look around the bony growths looks... painful.

@danielleeskelton 3 месяца назад

I didn't like the look of his head covering, but once you painted him up, it looks better than I thought it would.

@AtticRaidersRetroReviews 2 месяца назад

Agreed - I didn't like the head covering either when I first applied it, but I figured I had to cover up the sculpted forehead strap otherwise it would really annoy me. I think the head piece turned out OK in the end though.

@racspartan1 3 месяца назад

Well Done 👍

@richardorta8960 3 месяца назад

like a skirmisher (original) vs brawler (kitbash) of the giant types.

@georgeduncan-yx1xj 2 месяца назад

amazing ! so how come you have a picture up from the front cover of 1985's "lost valley of the dinosaurs" but you dont appear to have any content on your channel from the game? i got it and fellow waddingtons title "escape from atlantis" that christmas. many many many times they were played lol

@AtticRaidersRetroReviews 2 месяца назад

The whole channel was themed around Lost Valley as it's one of my favourite vintage board games - but you're right, I don't actually have a review done for it! Yet...

@slate613 3 месяца назад

Could you reuse the removed head as a mounted trophy type decoration?.

@AtticRaidersRetroReviews 2 месяца назад

Probably not the way that I cut it off! But I might just have to be a bit neater on the next one and give that a try.

@robertchmielecki2580 3 месяца назад

Awesome! I strongly dislike the attitude of "only official minis!", so common today, unfortunately :( I miss the days when creativity and resourcefullness in the miniature wargaming hobby was as admired as it should be.

@TheGreatArtichoke 3 месяца назад

My local game store has a Kings of War league (mantic games) where kitbashing and proxies as well as scenic basing is encouraged by the game developer and celebrated by the players. A fun kitbash or proxy is seen as a mark of pride in that community. I wish the Warhammer crowd was similar

I guess if you ran the writes down into the base you could and still cover up the horrible switch on the back. Not sure I'd want lighting in this particular type of figure though. What would you do with it?
