Kitbashing Brother Corbulo Into A Primaris Space Marine.
In this Warhammer 40k Kitbash video, I show you how I transform Brother Corbulo of the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter Into a Primaris Space Marine. This is part of an ongoing series that reimagines old space marine characters into newer, more modern, primaris versions.

I keep reading this as "Brother Columbo", and I can't get the voice out of my head.
Haha, jus one more thing. Haha, thank you 😊
He'd probably part of the retinue of Obi Wan Sherlock Clousseau

The backpack arm with the sensor was absolutely brilliant, glad you kept through with it
Thank you. I definitely wasn't 100% convinced. It is growing on me and I am glad you like it. :)
my favorite kind of bash. biggest compliment i ever got was when people asked me where i got some of my minis when i built them myself. awesome work here. Paint job as well.
I hear ya. I love it when folks say it looks like an offical model release. Thank you. :)
I think both backpacks have their advantages. The one with the arms gives him a nice bulky look, but the old one has that gadget on it that kind of looks like a shrine, which emphasizes the gothic look. Fantastic job on him either way!
I see what you mean. I have definitely settled on the more modern backpack. Thank you 😁
Brotha you have GOTTA do a painting tutorial… You already do some of the best Kitbashing content out there, but your painting is PHENOMENAL as well! 🤙
It's something I would love to do if I had more time. If this becomes something I can do a little bit more fulltime, then definitely. Thank you so much for the kind words 😊
Looks sick! You should totally do a Word Bearers kitbash!!!! A Dark Apostle Marduk or a Dornian Heresy Word Bearer would be cool!!!
I will add him to the list. Thank you 😁
I like the new backpack personally it gives him a nice bulk appearance that fits being primaris well
That was my intital thought behind it. Glad it came across well.
Most certainly prefer the primaris Corbulo. Love old models. Love more the upscaling primaris gives.
I am a huge Primaris fan, so any chance I get to turn older models in to new Primaris ones, I am taking it! haha
@WePaintMinis your vulcan video gave me the tools to make a much better vulcan than the fine cast one.
That's music to my ears. If I can inspire one person with what I do, I am a happy man.
Lovely conversion and you show really well what can be achieved with "just" meticulous trimming of minis. I got some good ideas from this one!
Thank you, I am glad that It may help you. :)
Brilliant conversion. Using an antenna for the narthecium is utter genius. Been doing crazy conversions for decades and it's rare that someone's conversions wow me at this point. Nicely done.
Very kind of you to say, I am glad you like it. I do try to approach my Conversions with the mantra, 'there's a bit for that'. It works most of the time, not all the time though. Haha
This was a great watch, the blutac trick for cutting delicate bits is such a good idea, and I would never have thought to use the shoulderpad iconography for the legs!
Thank you so much! I am super happy to know that you have taken something useful away from it. If it can do that for one person, I am a happy fellow.
BLUE STUFF TIP: When working with blue stuff it's still very useful to have a mold. I make a mold out of LEGO bricks. That way you can build a little container and put enough blue stuff in that you have it filled up and get a smooth top. Then you can push in the bits you want to copy. Afterwards you can use LEGO to make the container higher if you need to make the copies 2-sided. If you are done you can deconstruct the LEGO-mold and have a nice workable blue-stuff brick you can see through and cut neatly.
Fantastic tip. Thank you very much!
In the same vein I recommend trying either Tamiya quick type or magic sculpt in the blue stuff mold. Quick type is the best putty I've used over all, but both of these maintain sharp edges better than even milliput + green stuff. Magic sculpt is a slight bit more brittle
@@rhag1394 Thanks for the tips. I will look into Tamyia Quick Type.
You did the right choice with the backpack! Really nice work! Have to find my old Corbulo and paint him up after this vid! 👌🏻
I am glad you like it. I wasn't too sure, but it definitely growing on me and kind of makes sense. Do it!
Wow! Excellent job, looks like a model straight from GW themselves!
Thank you so much, glad you like it 😊
You definitely should make a painting tutorials as your paints jobs are killer! Incredible conversion.
It's something I would like to do for sure. Currently, I only have the time, between work, family and my own hobby/social life, to do the Conversions. If I am in a position where the channel takes off and I could possibly do this more fulltime, I would definitely do that. Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊
One of your best conversions so far(by far).
Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you like it. Sometimes the simpler ones are the better ones.
I really like this kitbash and think you did a brilliant job translating the design over to primaris but man, considering he's the Sanguinary High Priest I feel like Brother Corbulo deserves a proper redesign to better reflect his position within the chapter.
There is sometimes beauty in simplicity, but i totally agree with the re-design. I like to produce my own versions in the hopes it might inspire others to try. Thank you for the kind words. :)
Wonderful! Might I suggest single sided nippers? They snip with a scalpel-like precision, and once you've used them, there's no going back!
I am pretty sure the red grass clipper i use are single sided. Thank you 😁
That’s one really cool blood Angel
Thank you so much. Glad you like it. 😁
I absolutely love your content, man! Kitbashes are my favorite Warhammer videos, and I think you're one of the best! Keep up the good work, lots of people love it!
That is very kind of you to say. If you folks want to see them, I will produce them as best I can. Thank you. :)
Really nice dude! The choices you made make a great brother corbulo!
Thank you so much, glad you like it. 😁
I can't imagine trying to shave the wings off the pad without wrecking them.
It would appear I can do that better than using Blue Stuff currently haha. I just need to practice.
I think you made the right choice with the backpack and the kitbashing looks really good. Though it makes me wanna try and put the primaris arms onto the classic backpack.
I was definitely umming and arring about it, but I am glad it came out like it did. Go for it! Thank you 😁
Glorious, well done brother.
Thank you very much! 😁
He looks so good. You did a really great job man
Thank you so much, I am happy that you like him. :)
Ollanius Pius would be a rad character, propably a bit easier now that solar auxilia are out in plastic
Very interesting idea indeed. Thank you.
You could add some Blackshields to the list of Kitbashes, Like Endryd Haar, Erud Vahn or Nemean, or not any character in particular and just member of warbands such as Dark Brotherhood, Disciples of Flames, Fangs of the Emperor, Gerasene Host, Third Covenant or Ashen Claws. Btw love to see you finally using blue stuff or atleast trying
It's definitely an intersting idea. I do want to branch into some more niche Space Marine groups. There is a lot of room for imaginative ideas thats for sure.
Incredible work, love a good blood angel - the model looks fantastic! Can't wait for the next one👍
Thank you so much, glad you like it. I really enjoyed painting it too. Still undecided on the next video! :s
I absolutely love my old metal corbulo but now i might have to copy this video lol. Good job
Do it, I would love to see it. 😁
Keep em coming darren looking good love the painting aswell ut allways lioks so smooth 👌🏼
Thank you as always, Aaron. Your support and enthusiams for what i do is always apprciated.
LOVE mini updated/conversion vids like this. Subscribed and bell hit!
Welcome to the channel and thank you ever so much for the support.
amazing work! so good to see you improve on your kitbashing skills!
Thank you for that, I really apprecaite it!
Looks great, wish you gave him a fancier chainsword tho as Corbulo wields a famous relic one called Heaven's Teeth
The only reason I didn't is the original has a standard chainsword called Heaven's Teeth, the only difference is that is has a blood drop on it. I also thought it would look too busy on the model. Thank you. :)
You’re a great painter!
Thank you very much! 😁
Pleased to see you tried out blue stuff! Worth sticking with it... look like some water remained in the cast which can cause the imperfections... I try to remove as much as possible first but i also roll the grilliput in from one side to squeeze out any remains also you can use a lot less so you can fill the bit your after and not have so much to clean up
Thanks for the tips, I will most certainly be trying this when I use it again.
Looks dope!
Thank you so much! I am happy with how it turned out.
Looks so good! Please do more blood angels!
Thank you so much! I have more on my to-do list.
I did 200 consecutive sit-ups to this video
Why not! 😂
This is honestly such a skilful convertion! Love all the choices you made, i would say the reason the old backback works so well is because it makes the figure less top-heavy like the primaris one does, maybe if you swapped one of the servo arms with one from the old kit? Also, i think if you tilted the pose slightly more leaning back, you’d get more closer to the original pose. Just my two cents! Seriously though, subscribed
I totally get that. Two reasons I went for this. It fits the primaris theme and it looks cool. However, I am still on the fence haha. He was actually tiled back a lot more than he ended up, but he looked like he was going to fall over, drunk on Sanguinius' blood. Thank you so much for thr kind words.
Awesome work! Would love to see you tackle a Phobos Lias Issodon of the Raptors. That's something I need for my army ;)
I think I have him on my list, but if not, I will add him for sure. Thank you 😁
Beautiful models, I aspire to get to your level!
That is very kind of you to say. Thank you so much!
As someone getting into the hobby, making my first army(Space Wolves) I would really love to see what you can do for a Harald Deathwolf kitbash, please.
He was not on my list, that has now changed. Thank you for the suggestion.
Absolutely amazing! I'm most likely going to do a new collection of about 3-4k of Blood Angels, and when I do I AM doing this! Thank you for inventing the wheel for this conversion! Made my day.
Ah, I am so glad it helped you. It's definitely a conversion that can be easily achieved. Thank you so much for the kind words.
As always a very amazing video!
Thank you so much! 😊
Very Nice! I'm working on a sanguinary priest in terminator armor kitbash rn and this has inspired me to hurry up and finish it.
You can do it! Haha thank you so much for the kind words.
Awesome job, my man 👍🏻
Thanks ever so much!
That's rad looking. The grey off that red is super nice.
Thank you so much!
I prefer the old one. The new one makes him look a bit like a praying mantis. Mind you, I still love the final miniature!
It definitely is a taste thing. As I said, I am still not 100%. I do feel the new one fits a Priamris better, but totally get why you feel the older one is preferable to yourself. Thank you fo checking the video and commenting. :)
this is really cool dude
Thank your, I really appreciate it 🙏
Amazing kitbash, for me you nailed what a primaris Corbulo would look like. I don’t know if you take suggestion, but could get a shot at Kardan Stronos of the Iron Hands ?
I most certainly do take suggestions :). I have a massive list of mostly community suggested conversions in the video description; it's getting quite large haha! Stronos is most definitely on there. Thank you very much for your kind words.
Absolute bonkers conversion here! Your is very true to the original, but Primarized. Wish GW would make a new Primaris brother Corbulo, as they made a wonderful work with Dante and Mephiston. He is a quite important character in the Blood Angels chapter, especially since he's the one who put in light the unstability of the new Primaris geneseed. I'm a broke, lazy f*ck when it comes to conversions so I might steal your method one day. :P
Go for it! I am sure he will at some point. Thank you so much!
gorgeous. subbed
Thanks you for your support. It really does help. 😁
Quality work! Will have to try out your blutak trick, it’s genius! 👍
It is very useful at times. Thank you so much!
Would be cool if you converted primaris centurions
That would be very cool!
hell yeah!
Glad you like it 😊
Commented on the BA Reddit bit I'll also do it here, great job!
Thanks so much for the support. I really appreciate it 🙏
He looks great! I like the choice of the apothecary power pack! Out of curiosity, have you ever thought of doing a reverse kitbash? Like taking primaris original models (like Adrax) and turning them to first born style?
That is a fantastic idea. That would be very cool indeed. Thank you 😁
I'd like to see a primaris sergeant Kronos
He is on my to-do list for sure.
@@WePaintMinis yay!
Love your models. I do ask if you could make a non heretical kharn the betrayer
That is an interesting idea. Thank you! :)
Awesome work! Just looked at the list and there's some very exciting things on there. How about Njal Stormcaller?
It's a very big list haha. I will add Njal. Thank you 😁
You should total do a malum caedo kitbash id love to aew how you go about it
He is on my to-do list for sure.
Please do anything that's not a space marine! You're too good at kitbashing to be limiting yourself to those guys!
It's definitely on the radar. 100% honesty here, but I love Space Marines, however the main reason is because they are popular and help my channel grow. Once I get to a position where I know a video will do 'well' regardless of what it is, I can branch out. I do hate that about KZhead, but this is the way currently. I really do appreciate your enthusiasm for my work and the kind words.
would be cooler with a sternguard\black templar body with robe
It would look cool. Could of just used the Apothecary's model as is it is then. I like to make it a bit different.
@@WePaintMinis thats right. and the original has no robe, so well done
astarath or sanguinor next
They are both on the list for sure.
Fab conversion. 10/10. Did you not consider using the chainsword arm from the Sang Priest?
I did, but I wasn't too happy with how 'busy' it was, if that makes sense haha. Thank you so much!
@@WePaintMinis if you don’t mind me asking, how do you trim the logo from the pad so accurately please? A short video would be good if you have a chance
@@sub39h Sure thing. I clip big chunks off to start and just use a combination of my knife and sanding sticks to file away and the extra bits. It does take some time, but with a little patience, you can get a good result.
It's so dumb that death company does'nt come with more BA iconography on their chest
They are just standard Intercessors with an upgrade sprue really. You are right though, be nice if they got the same treatment as Dark Angels abs Black Templars have.
What was your recipe for the skin pigment?
I based with Cadian Fleshtone, washed with Reikland Fleshade. Layered with a 1:1 mix of Rakarth Flesh and Cadian Flesh tone. The highlighted with Rakarth Flesh as well as a mix of Rakarth Flesh and Pallid Wych Flesh.
Doom rider!
Haha, thats the first time someone has suggested that.
How about apollous flesh Tearer high chaplain
I have added him to the list. Never been mentioned before. Thank you.
Thought that was a pipboy
Haha! If I had the freehand skill to paint it that small, I would give that a go.
Hold on i S W E A R i just saw this on reddit????????
It was indeed. I post about haha.
You need more pressure around when using the blu stuff for such small details kzhead.info/sun/adugo8-ci4ehmo0/bejne.html
Yeah, as I said, it was my first try. Definitely going to give it another go though.
@@WePaintMinis eventually think about using LEGO for a double shelf kzhead.info/sun/lNOkhKZxp6aPfqs/bejne.html
Comment for the algo
Thank you for the support, it really does mean a lot.
In the thumbnail it looks like your start is "Brother Donald Trump"
The older models defeinitely had some... character about them haha
