Don’t let rude people get you down, appreciate your can do approach. I did a space hulk display shelf of my own because I enjoyed several projects you did and kind of mashed the concepts together. It’s your fearless crafting mentality that appeals to me. Cheers mate.
Thank you mate, I really do appreciate the kind feedback and I’m happy if any of my videos have been useful 🙂 thank you for taking the time to watch 👍
I found your channel today, relating to some of your conversions. I'm enjoying the content, please keep it up!
Awesome! 👍 I’m really happy you are enjoying the content and many thanks for the kind feedback and for taking the time to watch 🙏
Thanks for this video as well as acknowledgeing Autism. I myself am diagnosed with autism and appreciate your videos. Keep making videos you're a great channel.
You are most welcome 🙂 I’m glad you are enjoying the content; your support and kind words are much appreciated! 🙏 thank you for watching 👍
I appreciate this video so much. I've been posting content on tiktok for a while and have been subject to some negativity recently and ive been responding in a similar way to you. Ive been hesitant to post youtube content too becsuse of this and this has given me the kick in the bum i need to do something soon.
That’s awesome mate, please let me know if you take the plunge and I’ll definitely sub! Thank you for the kind feedback and for taking the time to watch 🙏
@@maddokminis for sure, I'll be posting some thousand sons in no time!
Somewhat ashamed to say I often leave negative comments, though I don't think I've done so on this channel. I'll shed a bit of light on why I do so, it might be of some interest! My guiltiest pleasure is often a kneejerk reaction to content or another comment that I don't like. My main objective in these cases is have my dissenting opinion feel seen, although I must admit when I sense others have bad intentions I'm more likely to get a kick out of the idea that my comment will irk them in the way they've irked me. It's a sort of "self defense" mechanism - and I fear a lot of well-meaning people like me end up being bullies as a result of their own insecurities. I avoid dogpiling though as I see that as "true" bullying, whereas one on one comment threads are more fair game. If I'm ever alerted to the fact that I may have genuinely upset someone, I immediately pull back and apologise as it's not my intent to ruin anybody's day. I do a bit of trolling too, but I keep it light. I just enjoy getting reactions to stupid comments I make sometimes - I'll get dogpiled on, and see the worst in people for it while I play the fool. My proudest one was convincing people that I believed space engine footage was real, and that we humans have already been to Mars and shot footage there. Very childish and very silly, but I see it as mostly harmless. I have not considered the effect these comments may have on smaller video creators however, so you've definitely given me something to think about in that regard. I can think of a few smaller creators that I've left passive aggressive comments to without much thought to the effort they'd put into their content. My brain wants to justify this sort of behaviour with bigger channels as a logical "next step", but of course this doesn't change the fact that individuals work hard on the content they make and may be discouraged by bad faith feedback. Anonymity is definitely a huge factor for why I'm a bit of a nob online. I'm not really opposed to some of the bigger websites like youtube/twitter needing some kind of identity verification due to that, though I can definitely see why people would worry about having political views and somesuch forever tied to their real life identity. Any trolling of mine would cease, and I'd be much more cautious about any online arguments that I get into. Your "kill it with kindness" idea is a great one and a trick that both works on me and I like to use. However I like to try and be sincere with those, rather than viewing it as a confusion grenade - probably because it works so well on me when it's sincere. If I sense it's an insincere attempt to wave me away, I'll tend to be passive aggressive back. On the reverse, if I'm nice and people continue to be cruel, it gives me a sense of peace that I've taken the high road and left the door open to reconciliation. Not much more that can be done after that! Thanks for opening up the topic Mad Dok!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts mate and for being so honest and self aware. A very interesting read! We are all different in how we approach the online world. I have been around the block a few times in life and have unfortunately seen some pretty awful things, this I think (for me personally) has shaped an unwillingness to be mean to people who don’t deserve it. I don’t mind if trolls get offended by my nice guy brush offs tho! 🤣 You hit the nail on the head; anonymity is the vehicle which transports cruelty. Thank you for taking the time to tune in! 👍
that cupboard is the most wholesome place on the internet lol. Your tolerance for nonsense is admirable!
🤣 I dunno, it has limits! Thanks for watching and glad you like Mad Dok HQ!
Thank for that interessing video
No problem and thank you for watching! 👍
Well said mate,to me people who leave negative comments don't realise that any comment helps the algorithm,but it's up to you to take in the comment but you're right if you stay positive in any comment the troll won't get the satisfaction,keep.up.the great work.justin
Thank you mate 🙂 it sounds like you are on the same page as me with this. It is essentially about not ‘rewarding’ that kind of behaviour. Thanks for sharing your perspective and for taking the time to tune in brother 👍
Your recommended reply is the best I think. The big Q is, would they say that to you if they were face to face with you? I strongly suspect not! They're w@#k&rs not worth your wee wee. Keep up the good work Mon brave, I've only tonight found your site and watched your Praetorian Guard conversion (with the heavy bolter, gun teams and snipers). Very good, liked and subscribed 😊
Thank you good Sir, I really appreciate the support and the sub! 👍 always happy to hear someone has watched and enjoyed the Praetorian vid 🙂. You are absolutely correct about some people’s behaviour being very different face to face. Thanks again mate and welcome aboard!
Love the idea of a confusion grenade! When someone is coming at you, online or in person, with anger -- here's what to do.... stay with both feet planted on the ground. Imagine they're on the second or third rung up of a ladder. If you 'rise' to it, even putting one foot on the bottom rung of the ladder - immediately they're UP there to the top, flying up fourth rung, fifth rung, so on rung after rung. No point in trying to match that intensity as they have the lead on you. If you stay on the ground, stand as you are, it's not "taking it", what you're actually doing is taking control - as eventually they will come down to the ground as well.
Absolutely mate 👍 I think it’s hard for a lot of folks to adopt this approach as it does go against the grain for many but it is a much more effective method. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and for taking time to watch 👍
Lotta wisdom in this video, Brother. I did KZread for about two and a half years, mainly doing Farm Sim Let's Plays and similar. I never really got the momentum going and never made it past 1000 subs, so I never drew the attention of the serious trolls. I did have one regular hater though, who came across as very young, who took exception to some scripted, kayfabe banter between myself and another YTer that he was a fan of. After that, every video I released instantly gained a dislike. I kinda grew fond of the little tyke, like some half-wild rodent who stole nuts from the bird feeder and left nasty comments. Thing is, when you look at it, even the nastiest comments from serious trolls are essentially as meaningless, inconsequential and utterly without weight as anything from my ratty little friend. Like all bullies they're trying to fill an emptiness in their life by trying to put others down, more tobe pitied than anything. They're not worth getting angry about, DEFINITELY not worth getting upset about.
Thank you for sharing your insights brother. You have made an important point here that I neglected to mention. Some of these individuals are very young - babies really (which is another good reason to regulate one’s responses). I did laugh at the half wild rodent stealing nuts comparison!! 🤣 thank you for the support mate and for taking the time to watch 👍
Love your work! Really appreciate your videos. Keep it up.
Thank you I really appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the support 🙏
Social media seems to free people from the normal expectations of civility. Many will spew venom into comments or chat that they would never say in person. Putting thought into a comment takes more effort than throwing a barb. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your content.
Thank for sharing your thoughts on the subject and for taking the time to watch🙂 I think you are correct but it is a very sad situation! Thanks for the support! 🙏
I have a Chanel and a insta my Chanel isn't Warhammer but 2 of my insta's are and i have never had negative comments but have had a anoying interacton but i didn't mind it's the internet anywais
Thank you for sharing! Yes I think it is important to accept that if you are putting yourself out there then you have to take the rough with the smooth 🙂 thanks for tuning in! 👍
Congratulations on the Milestone brother. Negative comments don´t really bother me all that much, if people can only act like trolls then they are not worth my effort. I Just mostly ignore those idiots or cut them short quickly, both ways work well. Good that you are encouraging people to take the youtube plunge mate. As always a great video 😉👍
Thank you for sharing your thoughts brother. It concerns me that there are some guys who could make great content but don’t because they would be affected by the nasty stuff 🙁 I really appreciate the support mate and thanks for tuning in! 🙏
I’ve thought about trying to make KZread content in the past, mainly just streaming my morning coffee and painting sessions and talking about 40K . Maybe I’ll give it a try.
I hope you do! Thanks for tuning in! 🙏
Congratulations on reaching your century, and on maintaining your positivity. 😎👍 I like the cut of your jib, young fellow.
Thank you mate, I appreciate it and many thanks for the support 👍
Congratulations on the milestone! 100 vids! Well done! I agree and very much enjoyed your summing up: bullies are just dicks!
Absolutely! 😄 thanks so much for the support mate and glad you enjoyed it 👍
Ignore the hate comments. It's just miserable pathetic people lashing out at the world.
Hey, careful, you'll hurt my feelings! 😱😄👍
Definitely a valid option! Thank you for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts mate 👍
I think they look great. Thanks for the inspiration. God bless you and your little menz.
I appreciate it and thank you for taking the time to tune in and provide feedback 🙏
This video is getting me into sci fi! Awesome work
Thank you for the kind feedback 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Pulls out on of the main neat features of a hover bike, calls it an upgrade
🤣 I guess so! Sorry you didn’t like it but thank you for stopping by 👍
@@maddokminis I mean, its a nice little conversion but I didn't really get what was wrong with hover pads and why exactly go for wheels. like, idk why, but 3 wheeled bikes always reminded me of children's' tricycles (inherently goofy and hard to take seriously)
@@01eksiiI guess it’s a matter of taste? Dwarves using hover tech is just an awful idea to me and I think the originals look terrible! Also 40k takes itself way too seriously these days and I was pleased to emulate the original comical squat trikes from the late 80s/early 90s. I remember them well 🙂 I like a bit of goofiness with my Warhammer! Like I said I’m sorry they weren’t for you but I do appreciate you stopping by 👍
Looks great! Now me personally, I would prefer the aggressors just be mini-Calagars, with storm bolters on their powerfists.
Yes, I could get on board with that! 🙂 thank you for taking the time to watch and provide feedback 👍
A man after my own heart. GW is going to be so jealous when theirs is not as cool as ours.
😄 thank you brother! Glad you like them and many thanks for taking the time to watch and provide feedback 👍
Just got some of these and defiantly going to do that with the legs
Awesome 👍 I’m glad if the video was helpful and thank you for watching! 🙏
the one inch can be used as a hallway and the right angle left angle piece can be a turn in the hall way. Think outside the box!
I think that would work very well if you were using floor tiles only, but with built up corridors it might prove a little difficult. I’m not sure you would get miniatures on larger bases through! Excellent idea for floor tile dungeon crawlers though! Thanks for watching! 👍
@@maddokminis I was thinking 5 foot corridors for D&D.. or in a sci fi , it could be a tunnel
Tartaros are a severe disappointment size wise. I cant believe GW charges 100 dollars for 10 of them. Hardly more plastic than a space marine
100 bucks!! You guys really do get stiffed on prices - over here in the uk they cost the equivalent of $70 (still way too much for some toy soldiers). They are way too small and frankly, need an update but that isn’t going to happen anytime soon I don’t think. Thank you for tuning in buddy 👍
Do you have the link of your tiles game? i've the picasso tile one but there's no door =)
Sadly no, it has long since disappeared. I can tell you that the brand I used is called Mag Genius if that helps. I actually bought mine on eBay (new) and they had loads of photos as to what was actually included in the set. Sorry I can’t be more help my friend but thank you for taking the time to watch my video 🙂
Personally the new primaris marines act more like Eldar than space marines. Little to no customisation, and almost every army is the same or of one of 3 variants
I like the scale correction that the Primaris represent and I generally like the basic troops but a lot of the more specialist units are misfires for me 🙂 thank you for watching 👍
Genuinely great video. This is one of the best simple kitbasher I’ve seen. I especially liked the idea for the storm bolters/chain bayonets.
Thank you mate - it’s always nice to get some positive feedback! 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍
If you're only looking at them from above, then what's the point of editing their height? Also, terminator girdles?
That’s fair. Sorry they are not for you mate although I appreciate you stopping by 👍
Looks amazing but I'd have some concerns about playing them. They look like gravis so they ought to be M10" T6 instead of M12" T4.
That’s fair - I have a good deal of creative freedom as I’m not a gamer 🙂 I appreciate the positive feedback mate and many thanks for taking the time to tune in and comment 👍
Looks awesome! Now I want to get some more aggressors to convert them haha. Alwals enjoy your videos mate. Thank you 😉👍
Thank you mate - I’m glad you liked them! Difficult to know what to do with these but I like the end results! 😁 Thank you for watching brother 👍
I think they would look better with only one bolter and power fist on the other hand
So kinda like a Terminator then? 😉 Yep I nearly did this but it wasn’t really far away enough from regular Termies and my self imposed brief was to make better looking aggressors. I agree with you tho, it would look good. That’s why they didn’t mess with the formula on the upscaled terminators - because they are awsome! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts mate 🙏
I like everything you did except the Visor. I just dislike the look of that part on any model ive seen. The chainbayonets to represent the melee punch is a great idea!
That’s fair enough mate. Luckily the head is the easiest thing to swap out. I tried various types of terminator helms in the cowl but it still looked like a terrible bullet trap! 🤣 I appreciate the positive feedback on the weapons (I can’t bear the original duel power fists!) thanks for watching! 👍
This was great! I'm a little late catching up with all the ppl that built bots! Well done!
Thank you! It was a super enjoyable process that I would recommended to anyone! 🙂 glad you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by! 🙏
Let's be real. Now that Terminators are back, Aggressors are redundant in concept.
I would agree - that’s why it was quite hard to figure out what to do with them! 😅 thank you for watching! 👍
Top notch model right there and good weapon system that works for alot of themes of armies in 40k with the under slung chainsaw on heavy bolter. Plus the in tube above the box magazine looks like the power supply for the chainsaw.
Thank you mate, yes I know exactly what you mean about the power source 🙂 I really appreciate the positive feedback and many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙏
Definitely more badass and It´s interesting that with the paint job and the visor, they give off strong votann vibes
Thank you mate and yes I can see what you mean 🙂 thank you for watching and commenting 👍
Looks good
Thank you mate, I appreciate you tuning in! 👍
I used the left and right hand power fists from the HH assault space marine box. Replaced the rocket harnas with one from the HH contemptor dreadnough. And then used flamers from the HH special weapon box .
Interesting - sounds like you were more faithful to the design intention 🙂 thank you for taking the time to watch mate 👍
That crotch is the reason why my Aggressors got their arms, legs, and backpacks donated to some heavy Intercessors while their body got turned into dead marine bits
Do you remember the old thudd gun?
I certainly do - very fitting for a Praetorian army! 😁
Those look so cool!
Thanks! 🙂 I appreciate you tuning in! 👍
This feels like a completely new unit, not a different version of aggressors. I’m also not a big fan of the helmets, but…
That’s fair. I knew these would divide opinions a bit 🙂 I appreciate you taking the time to watch and provide feedback 👍
I like overall your conversion especially the helmet granted i like the agressor weapons being on their gauntlets over having a gun in their hand to change their overall shillouette
Thank you mate. Yes it’s weird but I just had to get rid of the gauntlet/weapon combination - just felt to me like the ranged weapons would get trashed in close combat whilst using the power fists. I do take your point tho - the silhouette has changed so much that they are no longer really aggressors anymore 🙂 thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts 👍
@maddokminis I always imagined aggressors shooting flames or bullets as they punch somthing which makes it even cooler for me
@@trevante4640I think that’s exactly the intention of the designers and it’s good that you read the original models correctly! 🙂
The rattler was actually based on a scrapped concept for the A-10's replacement
Interesting - I just thought it was a bit of a knock off copy of them! Thank you for tuning in mate 👍
@maddokminis yeah cobra as sm is cool idea when you have so many difrent vipers you can use for difrent troops of sm like Crimson guard for terminators
I know! ✊ I would have taken it further on KZread but this video unfortunately did not perform well at all. ☹️
@@maddokminis maybe do up a army and have it battle some one
Sadly I’m just a hobbyist (I don’t play) but yes that would probably help the views! 😄
just letting you know, Powerfist mounted stormbolters would be perfectly fine in combat because of how the powerfield works. it doesnt so much as add extra damage, but more so causes the molecules in the target to split, so its like a weaponized shield technology in that sense. so the guns would be covered in the same field thus making the likelihood of damage to those systems highly unlikely. That being said, you have personal aesthetic (hope i spelled that correctly) reasons for doing so as well, and this look is good itself. overall 10/10 conversion.
just to add, Its the same principle that the guardian spears used by the custodes operates under as it has an integrated boltgun.
Yeah I know this is what the lore says but it just doesn’t look or feel right to me at all. I’m quite liberal with the lore TBF - if I don’t like something it doesn’t exist in my little universe! 😅 let’s not mention the custodes at the moment! 😱😱🤣 thank you so much for the feedback and for taking the time to watch 🙏
I think the Aggressors are one of the best looking "Primaris era" models. These look way cooler though!
Thank you! High praise from someone who likes the unaltered ones! Many thanks for tuning in 👍
The thing I like most about them is the arm positioning. It actually lets them look aggressive instead of the "going for a hike in the woods with a big backpack" that the normal aggressors have.
🤣 I know right! Aggressors should be aggressive! Thank you for taking the time to watch and provide feedback mate 🙏
Interesting take, I like it. The biggest necessity to fix them though, is the price of a box of them.. even for GW they are on the worse end of pricing
And it’s about to get worse! 😱 thank you for watching and commenting mate and I’m glad you liked them 👍
