hello Mortals I am the one named peachy
0:03
your guide on this perilous kit batch
0:06
Quest
0:07
now warning there will be blades
0:11
sauce
0:13
so be careful otherwise they will be
0:15
black
0:18
and
0:22
welcome to the painting phase
0:32
gotta take this off it's giving me
0:34
allergies
0:35
laughs
0:38
[Music]
0:40
so converted or kit bashes is also known
0:43
can be quite daunting especially to the
0:45
new hobbyist so in this video we're
0:46
going to take you through some simple
0:47
tricks to zombify up your collections
0:50
now the things I'll be using this video
0:51
aren't necessarily going to be in your
0:53
own collections it's more the techniques
0:55
we're going to employ that will help you
0:57
along the lines
0:58
so there's a few things you're going to
0:59
need you're going to need a few tools
1:00
such as like a hobby knife a modeling
1:03
saw if you've got well now I've got a
1:04
cheap modeling saw from Audi I'm sure
1:06
you can't from any kind of DIY Shop
1:07
you'll also need some super glue and
1:09
some accelerant the accelerant's not
1:11
necessary I'll just use it because it
1:12
speeds up the glue process now the
1:13
reason I'll be using super glue instead
1:15
of plastic glue you can use plastic glue
1:16
if you want to it just dries quicker and
1:18
it holds in place quicker as well but
1:20
also if you're making mistakes it's easy
1:21
to snap off and then try again and
1:23
usually I'm doing some test fits and
1:25
sometimes I employ a little bit of super
1:26
glue just so I'm quite happy with the
1:28
actual orientation of the arms or the
1:29
legs so that's why I'm using super glue
1:31
it and also it's great for filling gaps
1:33
so once you've used that an accelerant
1:35
you can just file away or use a knife
1:37
Hobby and after to clean it off a little
1:39
bit but that's why I'm going to be using
1:40
it for anyone that's like well I was
1:42
using the super glue instead of plastic
1:43
glue
1:44
first up is to get some components of
1:46
your chosen zombifying build here you
1:48
can see I've got some astrum militarum
1:50
parts or the standard Canadian that's
1:52
currently out at the moment now I've
1:53
cleaned up the model up already so I'd
1:55
recommend doing that before continuing
1:57
first up here is to remove a leg of the
1:59
model and I intend to adjust it albeit
2:02
with twisting it inwards to give a
2:04
zombie Shuffle gait this could be
2:05
trickier and more armored Miniatures but
2:07
with a bit of filling you'll be ground
2:09
now with the foot realigned what we're
2:11
now going to do is just glue those legs
2:12
to the base
2:14
and then add the Torso on after like so
2:16
now to add to our zombie theme what
2:18
we're going to do here is replace the
2:20
hands even more like a zombie kind of I
2:22
don't know limp if you like a bit like
2:25
Thriller the music you know the dance
2:26
that they do but hey let's move on from
2:28
that so what I suggest doing is look
2:30
across your kits if you've got some open
2:31
hands or some pointing hands they're
2:33
ideal because you can just swap swap the
2:34
ones that are like holding weapons and
2:36
stuff like that and make them look a
2:37
little bit more zombified now a couple
2:39
of good kits to use are blood Bowl kits
2:41
as well as the Dead walker zombie kit I
2:44
tend to use the Dead walker zombie kit
2:45
as just my kit bashing kit for doing
2:47
zombies but blood Bowl have a lot of
2:48
open hands because they're catching and
2:49
grabbing so if you get access to those
2:51
that'll be good too now for my first
2:53
example I'm going to be using the hands
2:55
from the astrum militarum tank commander
2:57
because they're kind of pointing or
2:58
holding like binoculars also you've got
3:00
the command Squad and the heavy weapon
3:01
Squad that have similar hands as well so
3:03
check those out now we're going to
3:04
replace any existing hands with some
3:06
outstretched ones one's more eager for
3:08
brains what we're going to do here is
3:10
simply cut off the hands from the
3:11
existing ones and then get those tank
3:13
commander hands cut them off and then
3:16
replace them
3:19
now to give our zombified model A
3:22
zombie-esque head style I'm going to be
3:24
using the Cadian sprues here now I've
3:26
got a head here it's got a gas mask
3:27
which is great because you don't know
3:28
what's behind that but to be honest any
3:30
head will do just to have a paint
3:31
solution and make it look more
3:32
cadaverous and to really add to that
3:34
zombie Vibe what I'm going to do here is
3:36
just glue that head at a slight angle
3:38
again that's just going with that zombie
3:39
look and it really adds to the effect
3:42
[Music]
3:47
there we are our simple straightforward
3:50
Kip Mash is done
3:53
now I'm going to do another build using
3:54
the exact same pose to start off with
3:56
any difference here is I'm going to be
3:57
using some bits from the dead Walker set
3:59
so I'm going to replace the hands from
4:00
some hands in here as well as a very
4:02
very rotting face from one of them as
4:04
well just again as an option if you want
4:06
to go down this route
4:10
so like I said we're using the exact
4:12
same parts from the previous build all
4:13
I'm doing here is adding these new Dead
4:14
walker alternatives
4:16
so I'm going to add some rotting hands
4:18
especially fond of the arm holding an
4:20
arm so just clip those out of the wrist
4:21
like so and again we're looking for a
4:23
nice rotting head I'm going to go for
4:24
this one
4:27
foreign
4:32
[Music]
4:37
is a little different to the intended
4:40
head so all I'm going to do here is fill
4:41
any gaps with some super glue
4:43
now remember any dodgy gaps or areas
4:45
that might look a little bit iffy when
4:46
it comes to painting just clog these up
4:48
with gold because you'll be playing on
4:49
the table top and they're going to look
4:50
cool anyway so other than the Dead
4:52
walker kit which is perfect for
4:54
converting or kit bashing thematic
4:55
zombified models for your ranges
4:57
everything I've used in here is just
4:59
spare parts of spare bodies spare heads
5:01
that I've had lying around for a while
5:02
now when it comes to converting armored
5:04
Warriors that is a little bit trickier
5:06
because the armor kind of gets in the
5:08
way a little bit a boot swapping that
5:09
dead simple hand dead simple gauntlets
5:12
Greaves a little bit more complicated so
5:14
we're going to touch on that now with a
5:16
Space Marine so as you can see here I've
5:18
built most the body of the Space Marine
5:20
so now the best area to cut around I
5:21
reckon is the knee joint so I'm going to
5:23
do that gently using the modeling saw
5:25
again take your time once you cut it off
5:27
you might just need to get a knife and
5:29
clean up some of those bins and be
5:30
mindful of your fingers as well once cut
5:32
it's now time to glue it on I did a few
5:34
test fits beforehand just so I knew
5:36
which position to put it into with it
5:38
glued on it does look a little gappy
5:40
here and there so for a quick filling
5:42
solution I'm just going to use some
5:43
super glue to fill and then add some
5:45
accelerant to harden and set it and then
5:47
use a knife or a file to smooth off any
5:49
roughness
5:51
now it should work on the arms for the
5:53
left one I have a chain blade and all
5:55
I'm going to do here is cut away the
5:57
chain blade and swap that hand with an
5:59
open hand this open hand is from the
6:01
standard intercessor box set
6:07
and for the right arm you could keep the
6:09
bolt pistol in his grip but the third
6:10
cut it away
6:12
and though he has a hand hole in the
6:13
grip once cut out and covered in Gore no
6:16
one's going to notice or care it's up to
6:18
you if you want to actually like just
6:19
replace the hand but I'm just going to
6:20
cut around it
6:21
foreign
6:25
[Music]
6:42
zombified armored Warrior is now done
6:45
I'll probably paint this model as an
6:46
ultramarine because we all know Dead all
6:48
terrains are the best kind of
6:50
ultramarines especially the undead ones
6:51
that are half rotting it's all they
6:53
deserve
6:55
foreign
7:00
zombified Miniatures again they all
7:03
follow the same principles one leg cut
7:05
off Twisted in and then some zombified
7:06
hands and faces or at least Open Hands
7:09
to give that zombified look and here we
7:11
have a nice selection of painted
7:13
zombified Miniatures ranging from nekam
7:15
under gangas to ashmila time a gene
7:18
siliculties we even did a breacher for
7:20
some horror film gaming and what is
7:22
great about all these as well is not
7:24
only have I just kicked past a few
7:25
things I've got 10. so I could do a kill
7:26
team with them or even like a cool game
7:28
with Jeff and Pat when they turn up and
7:31
they have to fight against them endless
7:33
hordes of zombies kill the ultimate
7:35
first
7:37
