r/Kitbashing40k

I'm a big fan of what I used to call "converting" but increasingly seems to be called "kitbashing" (not clear if there's a distinction?). It used to be the only way to create certian units that appeared in the codecies, but with the way the game has changed I am finding more and more it's purely a stylistic choice as I change up how a unit looks, or in the case of the Leuitenant with combi-weapon, build it completely fomr scratch using none of the original parts.

If you're interested in how I did anything, I'm a regular writer for the Beard Bunker and tend to post about my processes there: https://www.thebeardbunker.com/search/label/Tom

Still a work in progress. Hopefully to paint them in black and white. Votann coats are just such good bits for genestealers.

Fixed them. They are tabletop ready now

So I'm looking to start 11th Edition with Chaos Marines, specifically a Nurgle Cult using Cultists and Traitor Guard backed up by demon-possessed marines and big demonic war machines. I actually got this guy a couple years ago but never found anything to do with him til now. It should be fine to use this as a kitbashed Lord Discordant (inspired by the Toad Dragon) in casual games so long as it aesthetically fits the bill and is on the correct-sized base right?

Got the body together just need to at the details for my technought. Plan is to play it as a Brutalis Dreadnought. Need to workout where i am going to put the heavy stubbers.

My Custom Demon Prince “with wings”
(He levitates) he leads his force of blood hungry cursed Chaos Space marines. Kit bashed him using a ton of bits the base model is from the

-Praetor with power sword from the HH
-power claw from the Chaos Terminators kit
-the head is a 3D print from GreyTide studios its a space wolf head but the teeth helped with the vampire affect.

Used some weird terminator bodies off Etsy.

A lil kitbash… as a treat!

Very simply compared to my others, it was a nice refresher to be satisfied with simple models for once instead of taking apart the same mini over and over because it didn’t look right IM LOOKING AT YOU RAIDERS (The new raider kit has been a nightmare for me, such a cool kit, and everything I try to do looks out of place 😂)

But here they are, my terminators for my comically pirate warband!

Not too sold on the railings and “sail” on the champion but itll do for now

My bits are so unorganized at this point that its hard to remember which kits I used specifically but the base is iron father feirros' torso with legs from the possessed kit. Very happy with how this turned out and I'm looking forward to getting the battlefield trophies kit to finish out the base.

My take on a Necromunda Genstealer Priest. Kitbashed from Sanctifier, Renegade, Grimaldus and GSC parts. A true Misfit of the Underhives.

Here’s my kit bash of my World Eaters Daemon Prince.

Finally started painting up the chap on a bear that I converted over four years ago, and a more recent conversion. Very much WIP - just mapping out a few colour choices at the moment and see what works.

C&C / thoughts welcome.

Didn't expect to ever use the nemesis dreadknight, let alone have it be so useful!

Yes, I also have the other arm. My friend suggested it be an underarm mount, but I'm out of arms that'd fit that (And I also don't have any more pauldrons). I really want this Gravis operative to look nice, and I've spent a long time looking and thinking but my friend discouraged me a bit. So, should I?
