In this video I share a build process on converting Space Marine Centurions into Primaris Centurions! Time to cross the Rubicon.
This video was inspired by Lazarus Crusader and the excellent job he did, here's the link to his post on reddit. / centurion_wip

It annoys me that 'Primaris' is an in-lore thing, and not just a correction on the stubby models 40k has had for so long.

This looks DOPE!! One remark on the proportions, though: the pilots’ arms are supposedly crossed in front of them, mummy-style. Neither here nor there, once I get my hands on a pile of bits that can facilitate this, I’m absolutely giving it a shot.

@WhatThe40k 4 года назад

Whoa... Today I learned :)

@KillerOrca 4 года назад

I mean it makes sense, the suit hooks into the Marines existing Power Armor, which in and of itself is already hooked into THEM via the Black Carapace so...technically they wouldn't even need to move their arms, they just THINK of moving the arms and the suits arms move. Its like how MJLONIR in Halo allows the wearer to enter full body paralasys to pilot a vehicle.

@Infinityhammerpainting 4 года назад

And if you look at the shoulder pads that have sculpted insignia on them, the centurions marking are two crossed fists - indicating that they have their arms crossed in the breastplate 🙂

@adog6495 3 года назад

@johnfroh6774 4 года назад

I dig what you've done with the legs, which is more than I can say for most Centurion Conversions I've seen. But you and Laz are wrong about the part with the arms at 1:40. Centurion arms aren't manually operated. The pilot's arms are crossed across their chest, and they control the suit's arms through neuro controls. So having the chest guns is fine, as the arms don't need to fit though it. They are just servos mounted on the sides of the hull.

@WhatThe40k 4 года назад

Thanks. And you are totally correct about centurion arm control, someone else pointed that out as well XD

Taken from the Warhammer Wiki page : "Once connected into the warsuit, the accepted battle position is for a Space Marine's hands to be crossed against the front of his chest, behind the torso-plate and the suit's secondary weapons, for he controls the vehicle with his thoughts." So to say its out of proportion and needs adjusting isn't correct :D

@WhatThe40k Месяц назад

Indeed. IIRC another commenter mentioned this to me as well. And so the arm criticism doesn't carry that narrative weight, only aesthetic merit. In any case, I appreciate that you've taken the time to share this comment!

Luckily saw your video before I assembled my centurions. What is your gap filler? Plastic/sprues and plastic glue but how?

The plastic glue I use is Tamiya's extra thin cement. So the sprue bits get dropped in the bottle.

Firing mechanisms can always be condensed or shifted. I assumed all 40k tech used plasma ignition instead of firing pin and primer, but even in the latter we've seen collapsed folding designs like on nazi belt buckles with hidden guns, though I'm only aware of the one example admittedly

Thank you, its really great to hear 😊 As for the Primaris issue, its ultimately your hobby, and while executing 'your 40k' can be untasteful if done poorly... Speaking for myself, I just operate as if the Primaris Keyword isn't a thing. Centurion armour is a unique tactical asset, why wouldn't a primaris chapter make use of such an asset that his been proved valuable over the course of the countless chapter's battle history.

I actually used the ETB intercessors for 1 of them. But I had some spare Primaris bodies a Hellblaster and MMP Intercessor IIRC. I opted for them because I liked their leg positions better.

@Dasp244 4 года назад

WhatThe40k ah gotcha! I was debating on getting the etb ones for the conversion (you did an excellent job on the conversion, they look so good) because they’re cheap and I don’t need all the extra bits after, but would you recommend just going the extra mile and getting the intercessor box?

@WhatThe40k 4 года назад

@@Dasp244 thanks!! I think it makes it easier having more leg options for the posing. As some of the ETBs legs were too close together for my liking. Although I think its possible to get it done using only the ETBs. IIRC, what I found was that the more different the rubric marines legs are from the centuirons, the more alterations the leg hydraulics require.

What about using a hurricane bolter sponson from a land raider? Or would that just look goofy?

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, it would be too large, some options on vehicles are on a completely different scale, but strangely possess the same profile (see Heavy Bolters on infantry vs a Predator tank). Just one of those gamey things I guess...

@sigmundholt2313 4 года назад

@@WhatThe40k thanks for getting back to me; that makes sense. never owned a landraider or really handled a crusader so I wasn't sure. I'm with you on the anatomy of the armor not working, but I can't get over how easily breakable that hurricane bolter conversion looks (I can hear the bits going everywere in my mind). Can't wait to break out my Chubby double-armor boys and build them up like this; will just want to play around with hurricane bolter concepts. *update: while looking up some other conversions I found a good use for the bit that goes over the part of the torso being cut off, having the two sections mounted similar to your gattling bolter.*

@WhatThe40k 4 года назад

@@sigmundholt2313 Happy to help how I can :) The shoulder mounted gatling bolter I have holds surprisingly well.
