Sorry, Brad, but that would be Millennials and some Gen X (and 2nd ed. 40k still shits all over any version since btw), Boomers are all either in or soon to be in retirement/nursing homes and never got past playing with trains (or some historical games). 🤷

Way back the day as a young marine player I was a big fan of the demolisher and other big gun tanks (like the Soviet ISU-152 & KV2, and had a little model of a Sturmtiger). In game that s10 pie plate put in work as even with 24" range one turn was usually all it needed to be able to shoot something.. Anyway I came up with the idea of putting one on a land raider along with some sponson flamers. A few years later GW came up with the Land Raider Ares which was my Land Raider idea but with assault cannons on top instead of a twin multi-melta!

Why should we pay GW $1000’s just so we can see if we like something different? Fuck, just off of GWs pricing you should be proxying models never mind their absolutely shit prints like the new sanguinary guard.

(Paragraph/ IG advice below) Also keep your army in mind. I know this sounds weird but your basic IG infantry could use a simple kit bash but also your paint job can carry it more then just swapping bits. -For a beginner IG: Add a cool head to lord Solar Add a cape to a cadian castellen Change the head on the primaris psycher Add a bit of fur to the collar of a krieg marshal or commissar. Add more bits to your lemun Russ Swap the head on your rough riders -For some intermediate stuff Give a trooper the flamer tank backpack and clean the hand off the flamer. Take some wire and connect the two. Now he has a lasgun and a flamer. Magnetize your tanks. (Please do this. it’s ok I believe in you!) Give a krieger or infantrymen a rocket launcher from the Heavy weapons kit. Put it on their back as their running. Give the lord Solar a rifle pouch. Put gas mask (more like the old steel legion) on your infantry. Give your infantry a great coat to look like the old steel legion or valhallen. Give the helmet or face goggles. O7 to all my fellow guard players I can’t wait to see what you do and see you on the battlefield! Feel free to drop more below!

Heck, most IG vehicles have weapon options that can be swapped without magnets. Holding firm in slots with friction alone. It goes without saying you should do this whenever possible. Also, if you don't care about using GW models, there's a lot of Historical miniatures from other manufacturers that can be kitbashed into Guard squads. Much cheaper than buying kits from GW. Setting aside Wargames Atlantic, who just sell Guard-compatible kits, of course.

I really agree with your point about each faction having a character who comes with loads of bits but I would go one step further. What they should do in the rules is have 1 generic character (space marines = captain) who can be equipped with all sorts of stuff and then sell a larger box of said character with all the extras. I personally wouldn't mind paying a little more to have a single kit that I can build anything from. Example: Sell a Space Marine Custom Character - Include bits in the box to make them a captain, lieutenant, chaplain, apothecary, etc. - Include rules in the book for a "hero" character who can take basically anything. I would see it as a win/win, they sell a character for more and we get themed bits boxes we can buy for custom jobs. :)

What got me into kitbashing was the Mechanicus game. Mechanicus and Necrons are my two favorite armies already, then the game adds a level of customization you don't see in the models, and introduced to me the Xenarites. I put two and two together, as well as some Mechanicus and Necron bits, and now I have a small Xenarite army. What helped a lot was the youtube channel Kitbosh, who does some pretty crazy kitbashing that fully involves sculpting and carving into the model and lots of greenstuff. Some of my best work came from using those ideas, though I still haven't used greenstuff because I'm scared lol

The company heroes box is incredible and in conjunction with the Black Templar combat patrol, was oddly enough a huge boon to my blood angel army.

Regardless, I got a huge complement of shit out of it and now I have a bunch of weapons with chains on them to kit out my death company and it's gonna look great.

Kitbashing is so satisfying. I did a pretty extensive kitbash and 3d print mashup to replace grimaldus' servitor helpers with a contingent of chaplains. It looks super cool and it's amazing to think that I'm probably the only person in the world who's done that conversion in that specific way.

I really like this . I've kitbashed other minis mostly starwars. I've only just started but glad it's OK to switch Arms and heads and be ok .

The neophyte hybrid, acolyte hybrid, and Goliath kits are all absolutely full of bits to the point that you can buy a neophyte box, and a box of any other infantryman from say, guard, or a necromanda kit. You will have enough heads and weapons to fully kit out that second kit (and maybe have spares)

So far my favorite kit bash I did was I used a venomthrope back, gaunts and warrior talons, Spine fist, a trygon chitin plate, and the top half of a warrior and made a spider nid

If you want good bits, Frostgrave stuff is almost all compatible with each other. Frostgrave wizard arms with Stargrave squid head with cultist body? Sure. Knight with halo hair wizard head, skeletal arm and machine gun? No issues there.

My first kitbash was when I worked on my Chaos Rhino my friend got me. I took a leftover helmet, shoulder plates and front chestplate from my Rubrics, and put them on the gun turret guy, and then I also cut up the spikes along the front and replaced two of them with the bird-like gargoyle head bits. I really wanna make the kitbash terminator sorcerer you pointed out too, but sadly I can’t afford to buy the chaos lord in terminator armor to kitbash with my SOT bits

41:05 idunno, i was tired! as multiple people have said it is lucky i can even use my right thumb, let alone that i managed to miss everything important in the space between the knuckle and joint of your thumb! fun episode, though! remember, buy a cutmat, and 3d printing can often supplement whatever you find from boxes!

My introduction to kitbashing came right away when I started my first army (Death Guard), the poxwalker sprue comes with a plague marine torso, and so the combat patrol box alone gave me the opportunity to kitbash 2 more plague marines. Now I’m like 6 factions deep and I have plans to kitbash a World Eaters Helbrute out of a death company dreadnought and I can’t wait to get into it. Unfortunately I’m forcing myself to paint all of my unpainted minis before I start building anything else so it’ll be months before I can build that Helbrute

As a space wolves player weapon and head swaps are pretty good going with all the options out there. I’m still dipping into the parts from my first two troops boxes. Tho my personal best kitbash is the deathwing knight mini of the month into a wolf guard/ Arjac rockfist. Lotta cutting and tweaking to get the old parts to fit the new scale of minis

If you're trying to up your green stuff game, get color shapers. They're rubber tipped sculpting tools that are almost as big a game changer for green stuff as washes are for painting.

Get the little saw toothed blades so if you are trying to cut something and it's not cutting with a blade, you can just saw it, the right tiny saw blades still cut very fine and very thin, and look great, but they are SO MUCH safer and even cleaner on thicker/tougher cuts.

I do kitbashes for my Genestealer Cults, because I want a charmingly diverse death cult, with a Necron Biophagus, upcoming T'au Knife Sanctus, Eldar Locus, and the patriarch is confined to a wheelchair after the infamous Banana Betrayal.

Perfect timing, I was just thinking on how to do a possible named character or 2 for a homebrew SM Chapter I've been working on. One idea I have is a Terminator Chaplain, but with Stormcast legs to make him taller (A bit of an Alexis Pollux or Tyberos situation) and teh Chapter Master, an Emporer's Champion with Abhorrant Gorewarden wings, and a Captain's Relic Shield on the off hand. Granted, the Chapter Master is more of a conversion, but still probably some great info in this video

The Lootas/Burna Boys kit can be a great intro to kitbashing since that's the only way to put the Kustom Mega-Blasta on the Spanner!

Shaving off chaos trim from the various belt fed bolters on chaos guys to make them fit loyalists. Belt fed bolters are cool

I've had a Drukhari Venom kit sitting in my pile of shame for a while now. It occurred to me, a little while ago, that I could make my own Succubus by taking one of the Wych hangers-on, stick her on a jutting terrain piece, give her a spare weapon from my bits box, and maybe give her some grisly trophies. (I backed Pete the Wargamer's "Dead Animal Bits" sprue kickstarter, so I'm going to have plenty of them to work with in a couple months). I already have (or will have) all the parts for it. So why not? It'll look unique, and distinct enough to stand out on the tabletop from five feet away.

Kill Team boxes are great for bits. Personal favourites Legionaries, Phobos Strike team and Kommandos.
