Mod Announcements 👋 Welcome to r/Kitbashing40k - Read First!

63 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm u/OneLuckyRaven, a founding moderator of r/Kitbashing40k.

Only got a few rules for this subreddit. They are as follows:

(1) No politics, it creates too much discourse in what is supposed to be a hobby space.

(2) If it's NSFW please tag it!

(3) A kitbash using printed or sculpted stuff is perfectly fine, 3D printing 1:1 stand in's / whole models isn't kitbashing though. Please go to r/PrintedWarhammer to show off your sick models instead.

(4) This isn't the place for 3d sculptors to promote their new models/sculpts so please abstain from doing so. I understand the grind but it ain't relevant to this subreddit.

Other than that go wild, it's always fun to see the crazy and wonderful things the human brain can come up with!

Take care y'all and thanks for reading!

-This Post has been edited, changes were made so now the rules are numbered 1-4 instead of A-D.

Further Clarification and Comments:

-Rule 3/C has been slightly reworded to focus more on how we don't want to see printed 1:1 recreations of models and instead want to see something that you've poured your creativity into. (This is a rather subjective subject so if we ever remove a post that you believe was in error please reach out to us).

-As stated in Rule 3, printed bits (shoulder pads, heads, weapons, basing, etc. ) are perfectly fine to use and share where they are from, it does not break Rule 4. This is also true when using bits from other miniature companies, toy's or random bits and bobs you find on the sidewalk. (Another subjective topic, yay, please reach out to us or put a comment down below if you have questions).

-Rule 4 exists so I have an excuse to remove posts where they say "I've made a 1:1 of xyz model, please buy the stl of it". It gets really boring really quick when I see posts like that in a subreddit not dedicated wholly to 3d printed warhammer.

Hobby Questions What base models for the Tolmekian Guard? (Nausicaä x Imperial Guard)

Thumbnail

43 Upvotes

I have always wanted to kitbash my own Imperial Guard regiment and the vibe I want to capture is the sublime dark fantasy industrial Tolmekian's from Nausicaä.

What would you recommend as a base to start, Krieg or Solar Auxilia?

Also any head swap recommendations (with or without gas masks) would be very much appreciated!

Thank you for any help x

Just built my Chaos lord with his Raptor body guard unit for my non Chaosy-Chaos Space Marine army.

I really like how they turned out! But cape on the Centurion model was a pain to build and I botched it a bit when trying to figure out how to add his jump pack.

With school and work i have such little time but i love to do this to relax :) i love the arm in the second picture becuse i always thought the catifricti terminator arms were super small on the chaos terminators in 40k. I wanded to use that shoulder pad so i tested it out with the catifricti arm and i think its works super well and gives it a bit more length. Sense i took the picture ive added some epoxy putty to the voids so its more sturdy. The head on the first and last picture is just a place holder if yall have any ideas for them id love to hear it. The first dude is an iron warrior and the 3rd picture is going to be a slanesh currupted iron warrior master of executions.

Librarian Kitbash

The AOS Lord Veritant looked quite unsettling with a Skitarii head replacement.
Decided to make him a Librarian for my Dark Angels.
I’ve had some interesting feedback on what faction the model reads as. Keen to hear your thoughts.
