Offbeat BuildsThis is a Space Marine Overlord Gunship, or at least this is my interpretation of a Space Marine Overlord Gunship.
According to the limited lore, it’s essentially, a Thunderhawk Gunship, but for Primaris Space Marines. And since Games Workshop never got around to making a model, I did.
Despite featuring in the lore around the time Primaris Space Marines showed up in Warhammer 40,000 - Games Workshop seems to have largely forgotten about the Overlord Gunship. But, we can redress that, and if you want to have a go yourself, here's a link to the templates, and basic instructions:

The plan was to scale up the death theme, and tone down the fire). So, naturally, Games Workshop announced the new Legion of the Damned team and models at the weekend! Ah well!

But that made this build kinda interesting. Long term followers of the channel will know that I like to make stuff that’s not in the game, and preferably barely in the lore. So this definitely ticks those boxes.
Hopefully the concept of an ungainly machine powered by penitence, designed to deliver the holy word of the emperor through the voice of a madman with a penchant for grenades fits into your vision of the Warhammer 40k universe, it certainly does mine.

I've wanted to kitbash a model based on Adrian Smith's iconic artwork for Engra Deathsword since I first saw the art on the cover of the Warhammer Army book, but I've still not got around to starting that Fantasy Chaos army!
So, obviously, I've decided to bring Engra Deathsword into the grimdark, giving me plenty of license to tweak the build to suit the Warhammer 40,000 setting. And that's the real benefit of kitbashing using artwork as inspiration, you can take as much or as little as you want - there's no rules - all is Chaos!

In this video I'm recreating the EPIC Chaos Space Marine Cauldron of Blood in Warhammer 40,000.
The apocalypse scale Deamon Engines of EPIC have largely been overlooked by the continuing Warhammer 40,000 narrative, save for the Lord of Skulls, but I've always had a soft spot for the patently ridiculous Cauldron of Blood.
Armourcast did bring the Cauldron of Blood to Warhammer 40,000 - but they aren't exactly easy to find, and the models are starting to look their age... so that's the perfect excuse for a kitbash.

Well, that's partly true, though the biggest motivation is that most of my Warhammer 40K terrain is stuck at a mates house, and I need more stuff to use in all the fancy glamour shots in the videos.
The lights I used for the Sci-Fi Forrest terrain were purchased from Tesco supermarket for £3 per set, while the conduit was sourced from Amazon. There are some links to the two types I used below.

But, for me, the Spartan Assault Tank looks better - the proportions work better and the detail is unsurprisingly superior.
The idea of Kitbashing the Spartan as a Land Raider proxy is hardly original, but I've not seen many attempts that try and make it look more like a Land Raider, so that's what I've done... I hope!
If you want to have a go at Kitbashing the Land Raider Spartan conversion yourself, here's a link to the templates I made for the upper track guards:

But with a little bit of work they can be transformed from something that looks like a 3D puzzle, into terrain that actually looks good!
In this video I take you through my process for improving laser cut terrain kits, using the TTCombat Power Station as a basis.

Terminator Techmarine KITBASH for Warhammer 40KOffbeat Builds2023-10-11 | If it's got a 2+ save, it can wear Terminator Armour, that's my flimsy justification for the Space Marine Terminator Techmarine kitbash. Why I built a Thunderfire Cannon? I don't recall.
Apologies for the second Space Marine build video in a row, the pile of Leviathan plastic was starting to eat away at my soul, and I didn't fancy learning all the new names of the bugs! So, a Terminator Techmarine was the obvious choice for the next kitbash.

https://offbeatbuilds.bsky.social instagram.com/offbeat_builds tiktok.com/@offbeatbuildsTransforming the Space Marine Primaris Invader ATV: KITBASHOffbeat Builds2023-09-09 | It's not exactly a hot take to suggest that the Primaris Invader ATV has some... issues. The core of the model is sound in my opinion, but the Kart like design doesn't feel very Space Marine to me. So here's my take on the Space Marine Primaris Invader ATV. This is technically a kitbash, though it does require some scratchbuilding work, but it's pretty straightforward as far as Space Marine vehicles go.
If you do build your own Primaris ATV based off of the plans, I'd love to see what you come up with - hit me up on the social links below and share a photo.

"Big Dave" as I've come to know him stands around 40 inches tall, about 1.8x the height of a Warlord Titan. Making a giant Warhammer model isn't without challenges, for example I'm worried it's too large to fit through a UK size doorway... I really need to investigate that, but I'm not sure I want to know the answer.
The video covers the steps necessary to build a giant Ork Mega Gargant for Warhammer 40K based on the old Epic model, with a fair amount of personalisation.
Given the scale of the project, it's impossible to cover everything, but I've tried my best to cover all of the steps, techniques, tools and materials I used in the build of the Ork Mega Gargant. It was a labour of love, and arguably a stupid project, but I'm now the proud owner of the biggest Ork vehicle I've ever seen! What I'm saying is, if you're going to build an Ork Gargant, go bigger!
Anyway. My name's Chris, and I've been a full-time youtuber in the sim-racing space for the past few years. I've been making models and playing wargames for over 20 years, so I thought I'd share some of what I do on here. If you like what I do, please subscribe, there are more videos on the way. Not just Ork stuff either, and maybe not all Warhammer 40k... though it probably will be mostly be Warhammer 40k knowing me.
