 Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video and today we're gonna be chopping we're gonna be changing We're gonna be kit bashing one really big giant Let's get into it. That's strict techno man sir. That is Vincy V Let us get to the technique and learn it Vincy V style games workshop was nice enough to send me big old king broad here and I'm excited to get him together. However, my giants aren't really standard giants As you'll see here from the pictures going across the screen My giants are all horrible Frankensteinian sort of monsters that have been twisted that have been altered that have been Brought back to life through means Most dark and foul and so it's important to me that I get our new king here Also in line with the rest of the army as such We're gonna talk today about how you kit bash when you've got a big giant mini and an open pal We're gonna make something truly horrible. We're gonna throw a lot of kits in so Let's go ahead and destroy a lot of Warium or stuff to make one giant manager. It's gonna be a lot of fun Let's head over the desk. All right. Let's start with the kits king broad. We're gonna get out the elder showman's box A bunch of different imperial and renegade knights Little heart of Gerr. I don't know how much that will use but we'll see the Sacrison for trying is always good for pipes. We've got some chaos chariots for wheels and horns Then we've got old mega gargant and night bits So out of this massive pile of nonsense. We are gonna see what we can actually build the first steps are Still using the instructions because still have that open and I'm gonna be combining different aspects of king broad himself He's still the base when you're doing a big kit bash. It's important to still have a central base like there's something that is still the center of the consistent You know large plurality of the miniature so even though here you see I'm actually assembling right away one of the imperial knights legs Which are ironically the exact same size as the mega gargant legs like a Mega gargant leg and a imperial knight leg are the exact same size Which is handy I'm still like his main body and stuff like that is still all gonna be king broad So we're doing a lot of changes on top and that's my first big piece of advice is Make sure that you know what the center of your pieces and use that to anchor You can always cut away you can always change but having some instructions having some baseline don't think of it Like you're just going nuts and doing whatever with just like trying to slam together every bit Start from a base and then start making changes. All right, so we've got some basic components together here We've got the beginning we've swapped his back facing leg for the imperial night leg Ironically the mega gargants and the imperial knights have the exact same size legs So that makes that part just a really easy change We just dropped a bunch of sprugu in there to kind of hold it in place We can lock it in better later for now. I just want to let that harden Completely and then that'll lock that in place. So while that's doing that then we got to turn to other places now I assembled his torso More or less whole because we can always hack at these things later And that's one of the things I wanted to flip the camera on here and say is a big part of this is kind of just trying Parts and seeing what works and then flipping things around Figuring out like what of your normal pieces do you want to use and what do you want to replace? For example, normally along this arm. He has kind of this hammered together armor piece I wanted to give him slightly a nicer armor piece So I took this off of one of the imperial night pieces easy peasy so we can just like yep That looks good test it on there drop some sprugu on the back of this bad boy So it's nice and late on there and Then we just get that On to where it should be and then we'll let that dry But at the same time, you know, we can we can test other things like I he's got this big blank chest Maybe this like armor piece can work so we can kind of test that around and do I like it up top? It kind of looks like he's wearing a little too small t-shirt baby to flip it the other direction You know, maybe that's okay, right? Not sure on that one yet. I gotta think about that piece a little more But if I end up not liking something that I've assembled There's no reason I can't still cut it away and that sounds Anathema like why did you bother to assemble it if you're just gonna cut it? But sometimes you need to see the base shape before you start then modifying it. So like right here. Yeah, this is fine I like his arm good enough right there so we can go ahead and attach that arm Because I'm gonna have this arm holding the big, you know, some big club or a version of it in one hand So I do want this to like have some strength To still look like kind of a normal arm the interesting part about this particular build that I'm doing is that his other arm has no purpose Like it's not actually a weapon on the fig in any way His his big main weapon is held solely in this sort of one hand And so his other arm is completely effectively useless in the as far as like determining A wizzy wig or anything like that goes so we're gonna have a lot of freedom over here on this arm to kind of mess it up or do whatever We want or make something that's just visually interesting and monstrous As we convert this guy. So I'm gonna keep messing around with parts And we'll go from there so now that we have the center of the torso and the legs assembled it's time to start modifying and My real goal here is to just figure out what interesting pieces Can we switch swap around to push toward that? ultimate vision of a nightmare giant and as I'm looking at him and still using some of the pieces and combining them together I Want to really state the importance of futzing here of just messing around Looking at your bits staring at stuff cutting it out Dry fitting it moving it around Seeing if it fits Determining if it's the right piece the right theme and so on Have a vision not of what the final model is gonna look like you'll never know that I didn't know that when I started But have a vision of the theme the thing you want to achieve I know I want to have this big nightmare Impressive potent king of the giants of my Frankensteinian monster giants and so everything I do and I look at is like well can I add more blades spikes tubes just things that make him nightmarish and A lot of bits I cut and then don't use that's fine experiment and see what happens So we got the lower body all together I went ahead and put the back piece on there because that'll give it more stability for it to all dry That's gonna sit for a while. We're coming together on the top part of making him look cruel I want this guy to look, you know horrible and we're gonna add lots of spikes and Different things that make him look more Frankensteinian as we go But he can also stand in for king broads. I want him to have a crown. I found this little piece on One of the 40k chaos things, but it's funny when you put it on his head like that Right, we kind of get a little crown Kind of a little interesting fan-shaped crown So I dig that and that's like I don't know what that piece is meant to be normally I have no idea. It doesn't matter what it was meant to be normally. That's what it's gonna be now At the same time things like big we also want to extend that up a little bit. So let's get this bad boy in place See where we can go one of the reasons I always work with sprue goo For this is because it will hold the things in place pretty well as I'm sort of initially doing my my fit Like I'll drive it like crazy on this But it'll still keep it more or less in place like I can press it down and it sits there But at the same time if I need to readjust or like you saw me do with the shoulder pads Maybe in there like I can take them back off because it does take quite a while to set And so the other thing I want to do here is get these cool horns on him if I can figure out a place to have him I'm afraid though that the That one of the horns is gonna be too big on that side So look at this horn with that Because of the way that his back horns are sticking up So that causes a problem I think we could probably cut it down So let's do that Let's cut that horn down Big horn. I need to get out bigger Bigger flippers All right. There we go. Good enough. We got we got it. We got a progress good enough to just test there so then if we kind of Ram that maybe Up against something like there That'll work pretty nice. Let's see how that feels. It feels too like forward. I think if we move this crown around a little bit Scoot it that way some we kind of stick it over here on the edge of the crown And see now we're getting somewhere now. We're now we're cooking with gas We're gonna take that back off What I'm gonna actually do Just physically Squeeze that piece together Sometimes we just got to bend them into place there. So it's a tighter fit on his head There we go. Now it'll actually like kind of Snap fit against his head. It feels better. See sometimes. It's just bending the things until they fit Cool Then let's go ahead and cut this horn down to the same size This is from the Chaos chariot kit by the way in case you're curious This is the horns off the front of the chariot because of course their chariots have horns Good stuff there. Okay. So then we can do Just kind of sit that against there. I like how that feels So his nice little crown will have two big horns on the side Put a healthy dollop of our sprue goo on there that horn against there There we go Let's go ahead and shave this a little more flat Just so we get a nice flush fit. We can always come in. We're gonna, you know, we'll fix at the end But it's still better. We're a little more flush for our initial connection joint push that against there Maybe rotate it down just a little To the side And there we go. Now. He's got a big Angry horn crown Bashes like this is that you're constantly testing things You test you dry fit you look you compare Don't feel like you've got to go with one initial idea a really great kit bash on a large miniature like this You're trying all sorts of different stuff You don't limit yourself to particular kits anything from big to small the kits might be valuable terrain kits might be useful You know sci-fi fantasy kits all useful just test them out See what they look like move the pieces around and see how it feels and then once you get to something good Then you can attach it and go from there. I don't worry generally about whether something fits We can always come back later with miliput or green stuff or some sprue goo and clean up gaps or holes or things like that Let your creativity be your guide and just start going nuts. So here's where we are I let everything dry for a good whole night basically I went away and so everything is now You know firmly in place all of our little pokey sticks and doodads and things like that We've got lots of spikes. I went ahead and attached a crown on the back of his head as well So he's got kind of a full crown action there like that. So all that's looking good on the face I also went ahead and added some tubes because tubes are always good for monsters and I attached the lower arm Inside here this morning. I put on some some green stuff just to hold that all in place and we're letting that dry We'll put the sort of leg plate on there once everything sets over there For now, we're gonna finish focus on this torso part One of the things I want to do is make him extra creepy and nothing says extra creepy like extra arms so I found these little bits in one of the chaos Kits and these look like cool little combinations of muscle and pistons and stuff And I don't know if these are actually the pieces that go with it, but they fit in here So because I'm not gonna look at the instructions for that thing because who cares Instructions don't matter where we're going. We don't need roads So instead what we're gonna do is we're just gonna slap this bad boy up with some some sprue goo here Get it ready to go and then we're gonna find a nice place on the side of his torso here Where we can go ahead and add an extra shoulder joint basically Something like that probably looks nice. Maybe up a little Yeah, there we go still gives enough clearance for the other arm Good let's goo it up in there Get our goo going and we'll Go ahead and put a little piece right there just drop that bad boy into there And there we go. I'm gonna need to attach that one longer because clearly the joint isn't super strong Let's have it like mimic the arm above it. I think Yeah, there we go. Good nice little second baby arm. Nothing says creepy like a baby arm But fun of doing this in real time Good cool The other thing we want to focus on is this hand over here. I added the lower part So I pulled out this claw piece out of the same cast thing. I added a little thumb for it Because I thought it would cooler with a thumb so that's just like one of the claws from the Gauntlet on the Giants and I think that'll fit nicely right in there The question is just what angle do I want it at that's too? Yeah, that's too too up It's definitely that angle Okay So then yet again We get our goo going Let's goo it up and a goo both sides of this since there's Since I don't know exactly some of the sometimes you got to over goo When you're doing these big kitbashes because you don't know exactly where the parts are gonna actually connect Since they're not sort of made to go together. There we go. I'll sit right in there We're gonna actually set him down so it can rest on the ground Take some extra bits that are on my table here. I those under there we go nice little Breach to keep that in place And there we go. We just let those dry so All that's dry. There it is Got a little arm in place. I'll put the second arm on in a minute But we're gonna deal with this weapon situation Went and dug around found this super cool axe head For my bits. I think this is from a creature caster Guy, but that's fine. It's good. It's a good giant axe. I like it. The problem is I don't have anything else for it so I found Some of this which is this is a tube Plastic card you can buy so this is just the gale force 9 Plastic accessory variety pack you can see it has a bunch of different little tubes and I beams and stuff like that So I picked the size that happens to fit The axe head nicely right there good stuff I suppose if I didn't have this you could use like a straw that probably work But the problem is it's blank and it doesn't look like anything interesting So what we have here is some jeweler chain and you can go buy this, you know, this is just jewelry chain It's super cheap and you can get it at basically any Any sort of craft store anything like that And what we're gonna do now is There we go We're going to Go ahead and make a loop of chain here for this We're gonna just take a little glue Put it along there on there. We don't need much of this to make this stick There we go that should do And then we're just gonna wrap this around Making sure we get nice Even application of the thing Doesn't need to be perfect because it is a big Giants weapon and he's kind of a dummy and a monster So, you know, whatever off of this now. This is resin. So we're not going to use Spruve before it will use just this traditional gel glue here for our accelerant One two three we have an axe see how that looks I might want to do a little more chain of above actually much feels too popped up He should be gripping it up here Maybe like right under the thing All right Well, I'm gonna put a little more chain on then we'll reattach and we'll get the arm there So it's time to attach him up to his legs actually make him stand here So then I can put the axe in place and we'll see how that goes So happily these guys fit together very nicely Generally Yep Assemble that no issue nailed it. So with him all together We're gonna take a little bit of this and you know one of the things with using sprue goo as you may have noticed Throughout this that I'll apply the sprue goo and then I will come back in and use the Just the regular super glue thin to like smooth it down Resoften it up Just make sure it's very liquidy and that it settles properly It's just a good additional trick now when you're doing it make sure it's not a part that's actively holding something because it will Reactivate all of it and suddenly go loose again. So you got to be very careful about that But in this case, he's nice and solid on there So no concerns give a little pressure Nice, okay So I like the way that's looking yeah all together. He's looking nice and Shambly shamblamatic look at this dude So now it's time to give him his axe and we just need to figure out what position that's gonna sit in now that he's all assembled Fortunately, it just snaps into his hand. I'm thinking we want to rotate it up just slightly like the natural position would probably be here That would be the correct way he'd hold this That's a really ugly position for it to sit in for the viewing angle. So we're probably gonna sit it like this Just because that will make it look better. So, you know such as like Sometimes we we make sacrifices of the the logical for the art. He's he's coming right along our forearmed King here. He's certainly a horrible horrible monstrosity, which is what we wanted. So Are all right, so more or less final update. I think he's good to go We got everything green stuffed up there all the gaps filled. I'll kind of sand that once it's hard But yeah, I think he's appropriately Monstrous We got chains. We got tubes. You can see we added some more tubes here on his belly On his leg, you know, and we went ahead and actually put little green stuff snakes here, which I'll flatten out and sand down On his weapon just to kind of separate the two elements a little more Just create something that'll be easier to like have a distinction when I paint it there I got this little portal thing on his belly, which you know, who knows what it does But that's fine. Got a little spiky armor on his arm on both cases. I mean, I like how he came out I like his sort of movement. I mean, he's very sort of contrapasto with the leg forward and then everything else sweeping in that direction The face is suitably horrible. His back is a little open Normally I put a little more tubes and stuff like that on the back But I thought on this guy I'd leave it a little more Unblemished maybe we'll do just some some scarification or something back there with paint But overall pretty good pretty good little project Obviously this took a lot of kits, you know, there's the Multiple different Chaos and Imperial Knights, there's the little chaos monster guy whose name I don't remember for these pieces and all sorts of things But it's a lot of fun Whether you have access to all these kinds of kits or not and you want to chop up, you know $100 box sets to just make a fun model It you don't need to do all that Just doing conversions like this and playing around and making especially an army like this where they are very Monopos and sort of one always looks like every other one you ever see I think is highly rewarding Even if it's just doing things like messing with the weapon, you know, as you could see It's not that hard to make your own new weapon shaft So if you cut the head off like a corn axe or something and put it on there great you can do that too You know, but just messing around with the different pieces and parts doing and Repurposing things like the horns from the chariot became his horns on his helmet, right? A lot of these little pieces like these the bolts in his neck Those were some kind of antenna off an Eldar thing like they don't have to be the thing that you use them as You can always feel free to experiment just stare at your bits for a while and see what grabs you So there you go, that's King broad all ready to go. He's ready for paint now I will see when I actually can get paint on him But what a fun conversion he was to do this guy's absolutely massive and I am definitely very excited About having him on the table.
