Instead of shoulderpads you can mount some platforms and place gobs with tons of Dakka there.

I personally like the head, but maybe there's still room for a gun on top of it... I do think it needs am but more dakka.

@endersblade

Agreed. The head is cool and all, but the dakka just made more sense. Since the 'pilots' don't need the actual cockpit in the head, it would make sense for them to strip it out and add a big gun.

If the head has dakka attached to it, that'd be fine. The head as a compartment is about the right size for a grot gunner to fit inside and because the head can rotate,I think that could work. Otherwise, a gun looks weird there with the extra compartment sitting on top. So the only other option IMO would be to not have anything there, except maybe wires emerging from it or something that wasn't going to protrude. Glad after he revisited the Stompa challenge that he's trying more to stick with the original kitbasher's vision, but yeah, I think the choice between the top compartment and adding something to the Knights original head mount was an either or scenario. That is unless he'd put the new compartment even further toards the front.

The issue I had with the gun was that the model didn't read as Orks to me right off the bat. I want there to be instant recognition as much as possible. That being said, there need to be more guns on this model overall! We'll see how it goes, I'm not even sure what's going to happen yet lol.

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Kitbashing is fun, but it can be frustrating like that. You can get the equivalent of writers block sometimes. I think the trickiest thing about orkifying a knight is that it has some very distinct curves and Ork vehicles tend to be anything but curvy. I do like the fact that it looks kind of hunched over like an Ork though.

This reminded me of an Ork conversion I accidented myself into. I bought some of those partwork magazines that have 40K sprues in them, but unbeknownst to me, I had missed the first part of a three part set. Meaning I had most of a Redemptor Dreadnought, but no weapons for it (Nor sarcophagus) Instead of getting upset, I ordered a Deff Dredd and used the abundance of pieces to not only convert my Redemptor into a looted Mega-Dredd, but could also build a regular Deff Dredd as well.

Good work out of a bad situation :)

I like what this is going so far, but the cannon in place of the head was definitely the most unique part of the original model, and felt very Orky. Can't use the original Throne, so bolted another vehicle to the top, and what to do with the space created where that old useless head was? Why not more dakka? Presently, the cockpit head sitting above another head is just a bit odd; I feel like to make that idea work you'd need to have them more side-by-side in a skewed, helter-skelter kinda way for a dopey "ettin" look.

IDK anything about warhander (sp?) but I like how it looks like that myself! I've always been into more classic fantasy minis

I _love_ the gretchen with binoculars in the front of the cockpit, makes it look like a pair of tiny eyes while the model is unpainted.

It's looking really good, but man, I miss the old belly gun on it. You could fit a replacement big killie gun right under that head, but I get the impression that's not really your style. Regardless, I can't wait for the finish product!

Feels like a missed opportunity to remove the chest-gun. Now it kinda looks like it's got two heads

13:30 That first little Grot Rigger is a wonderful mini. The Orknight is looking splendid. The pauldron covering the left arm really hides the lack of an elbow. The look-out's bulging red binoculars made me laugh.

Absolutely!

I like your thought on a newly looted piece. To many times ork machines just look heavy with all the added stuff. Making it light gives it a dangerous new aspect. At 12.50 that thing looks amazing and fast. Slap a load of grechins with it! They'll add armor as the battle tags on

its a 10. splitting the video in 2 parts? YES! NOW IM EVEN MORE EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEKS VID MY GUY THAT CONVERSION WORK? THE VIBES, THE CHARM, THE RESPECT FOR PAST OWNERS, THE VISION, OOF also love the consistency in video formula but it still always feels fresh? the videography, the lighting, the voice over and audio, even the music truly blessed time to be a hobby enjoyer

I love platforms stuck to the side of stuff, i just love space for minis to go, i really enjoy model interactivity

I really like the idea of a super clean knight with a bunch of battle damaged orc bits slapped on. The model would sort of contrast itself

WAAGH!!! You did awesome work Konvverting da Knight into a Mighty Warmachine

Remember chaos orks? This brought me back!

Dude, that looks fabulous! Amazing and fun as always! I also really appreciate that you reference the companies/people that make the STLs that you use or show. Helps the rest of us find good parts without having to do a ton of searching. Thanks!

I can't wait to see the completition of the model but taking extra time is the right choice. It can only make the model better !

I think placing 2-3 scrap panels on the body would better tie together the idea of a scrappa knight

Looking good! I have wanted to do this and always had the idea of removing an arm and putting something like a B-17 ball turret with a grot inside in its place.

I love the idea of it being a newly acquired Chaos Knight! Maybe even if you keep one of the shoulders you should have a faded and destroyed Chaos Star with a ORK symbol slapped ontop of it as if it was recently put there 😂

That rework of the Warsuit cockpit's position added so much more believability to it. Really great change!

Great work, it definitely feels like the original idea but perfected. Mounting the warsuit within the knight chassis definitely makes it less slap-dash looking and lore wise it makes a lot of sense since I doubt the Orks would be able to use the knights throne so putting in manual controls with the warsuit makes a lot of sense.

Wonderful! Please Casey change a shoulder pads to more orky ones and use these in another project!

This is a super neat conversion! I adore the close intergeation of the upper cockpit area. Since you put the head back where it usually is, you could put something like a missile pod or some orkish super weapon into the back

You should do an army showcase for your orks on the last day of Orktober! Finish it with a banger.

I love the head where the cannon was at, but i think it needs more ranged daka, and i think using those shoulders to carry the rangeed weapons would be a good use of its remaining space since you want keep the arms melee based....so maybe have weapons platforms for a crew to man or something would be cool but remote Weapons that are fired by the pilot would probably look better since you dont have alot surfaces space to work with on the shoulders.

Having groups of grots in/around the cockpit and puppeteering the arms and weapons with chains could be fun, like they didn't even bother trying to understand how this thing moves

Can’t wait to see this thing painted up!

I like the way this model is going . Knight’s are so fun to convert ! I wish I could show you the knight I converted .

The can head made such a difference way better

I just got into the hobby recently, and am still very terrified of a lot of things. I just started painting my Orks, and though I have the supplies for magnetizing and such, I haven't tried anything beyond simple assembly and basic painting. Videos like yours really motivate me to keep going. Awesome stuff!

Awesome start , cant wait to see part two Casey.

That gun head it had looked so good

You missed an opportunity here… it so should have been done up like Mr. Bean in his green couch driving the car from the roof with brooms and mops 😂🤣😂 As soon as I saw the war suit cockpit on top I had a vivid image of a snot in green couch driving the knight with a mop 😂😂😂😂😂

I cannot wait for the followup on this model. You are killing it man. Super orky and cool

I love the idea of an imperial knight going rogue and becoming an ork,

Bit late here, but might be cool if a some parts still have it's old paintjob before the Orks "found" it.

Tod Howard is a secret Ork...his favourite saying is "it just works" 😂

I was just thinking that you could angle the head slightly. Just like a dog does when it is looking at something curiously. Or, it's just considered something before smashing it to bits anyway.

I feel it would a appropriate to put this bad boy on treads.

The model is getting a real ork vibe. Love the grotz too

I think for this to read as looted it needs a lot of battle damage. Every section of original armour needs holes and scrapes and gouges, even sections missing and covered with panels. Tge thing i think would really elevate the conversation would be cutting tge more prominent leg off below the knee and the attaching the foot from one of the othe kits (pinning it for strength) and then using extra panels and jewelry chain on the joint to highlight the splice.

This conversion is the best! Orktober - the best time of the year! Can’t wait for finished model🔥

This is so awesome 👍 I can't wait to see it come together!

Thanks for taking your time and doing it right!

All the Grots come from the Orkaz Run Rolla, from Station Forge.

Knights and Orcs are two of my favorite factions! Really looking forward to the final result.

very nice, like the idea and the execution so far, looking forward to the next video! Greetings from Germany!

Glad you are doing this in two parts. This looks amazing, love the head. Also... need more Orks!

I can't wait to see that Ork Knight get painted up!

5:18 - I think using a small X-Acto knife for this kind of deep cutting and scraping is pretty dangerous and inefficient. I'd suggest using a Craftsman or Stanley utility knife instead. The blade is bigger, stronger, and the utility knife's handle provides a stable grip for precision work.

Dude, you're nailing this one!

Can't wait to see the finished product, mate.

I'm really excited to see this completed

Gotta love how you can mess with something, anything, in regards to Orks, and it'll look this side of perfect because with Orks? Anything goes as long as it conveys WAAAAGGGGGHHHHH, right? If I played Warhammer, Orks would be a prime contender other than Tyranids for my army.

personally would keep the cannon? cuz now it looks like two heads and is distracting the main focus to head on the top. plus that cannon is in a way cool so rather than a huge cannon like the old one I would probably switch for multiple smaller ones (like the Bracer Phoenix from Pacific Rim 2)
