This was epic. But Lukas wings are just otherwordly. It's freaking insane how awesome they look !!!

[@DemonsFPV]

you guys are incredible. i got into painting for my son when he got into warhammer.. over 2000 minis later.. i really enjoy just sitting and watching you dudes paint.. Lucas is a master artist.. that freehand stuff is mindblowing.. love these vids.. thank you.

I know Lukas is more of a "Side Character" for the channel, but he's an absolute beast, I always love his paint schemes - those wings looked great!

Damn, would love to see a breakdown of some of the techniques you used to make your armies look so good in so relatively little time. Those feathers looked insane!

[@TheHobbyGrotto]

24 hour painting challenges are always so much fun to see! I still remember the first one I saw at GW Sydney in the 90's, we went late at night to the store and they were in there painting, the floor strewn with discarded energy drink cans lol! It ended up in one of the Aussie White Dwarf's, everyone wanted to try it and pump out and amazing army. It's truly a feat of endurance, the things you can do in 24 hours are quite amazing. Great job on the video :)

[@macdietz]

4:57 most satisfying hand-off in all of mini-painting.

WOO woo

[@neilkirkley1500]

Ha ha the Wampire movie, awesome. Quality video, and awesome productivity guys.

[@Lartle]

Hi Squidmar. Just wanted to say thank you. I started mini painting a year ago but had lost motivation and given up. Since stumbling across your channel I have found myself being braver with colours and trying new techniques. I can see improvements every mini i do and never imagined it could be this fun. Thank you.

[@euansmith3699]

The craftsmanship on display here is staggering; especially at 2am. Having worked nights, I know how crushing it can be to work at that time of day. The minis look fabulous! 😍😍😍

[@deividgarmar]

Daam I love when you make a "paint s whole army" video!!!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

thanks mate :D

Always loved Warhammer and finally decied to get into it and try it myself. I´ve been binging your content the last few days ! Keep up the great work, always a pleasure to watch

[@craftworldaltansar5858]

I would have face planted into the paints long before the 24 hr mark. You guys are legends.

[@jorgesantiago1542]

Literally watching this video got me starting a new hobby! Thank you for all the tips! And keep the vids coming! Got a new fan here!

“I’ve been painting gold for the last four hours” man, I felt that in my soul

[@d-emprahexpects]

Cool Archaon montage, snappy and funny 👍 Lukas' freehanded flesh looks awesome. I love how crazy colourful these minis turned out

[@93Nordo]

Would love love love a video that goes throug some of the short cuts (on highlighting,basin materials, pre shading etc) as well a wich brushes you guys use for long sessions or army painting in general. These deamons look fab for the amount of time spent great work and entertaining as always. Now be sure to rest!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Hey man, we use the squidmar brushes. Mostly medium or Large. We got plenty basing videos on the channel, feel free to dig around a bit 😊

[@marcgrimes5619]

Wow great job! I would love to know the recipe for Lukas' army, specially that gold. Is that just one layer?!

[@zaynevanday142]

3:36 Don’t Drink me looks like great advice 😂

[@chriswood6353]

I'm in my 40s and my eyes won't focus on painting for more than about an hour at a time, this is mind-blowing. Painted more models, and to a higher standard, in one night than I've managed in the last 5+ years... 😬

[@thomaslomax737]

I re-started painting after over 30 years away (I'm 51). Sadly only possible with reading glasses, but with a mid-strength pair from a dollar store I can go for 3-4 hours without eye strain. Good luck!

[@SlayerMiniatures]

I feel your pain guys...I painted a whole Deathguard army in 48hrs for a video and it took me 12 hours just to do the gold armour trim! I almost gave up ha! Loved the video. Also love Lukas' grayling tattoo!

[@danuk459]

Do you have a list of paints anywhere that you used? I really love the blues used on Lukas' LoC, the greens you used for the LoC and the pinks on the pink horrors

[@ZaidSaid]

Yes I’m looking for the paint list as well…

[@someonesusingmyname]

I love watching you and Lukas paint together. It seems like you inspire each other to achieve a higher level.

[@mini-danjufo]

The quality you 2 got from such a short time is beyond impressive!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

I've got 56 341 pink horror teeth left to paint though :D

[@thebrokenmask8304]

I dont know how you do this mate. It legit took me a whole year to paint 2000 points worth sisters of battles + a few randoms ''just for fun'' . You guys are both machines and a tad bit insane.

[@chrisn1507]

Great video. Wondering if you could tell us what brand of airbrush spray booth you are using? Thanks!

[@VulkanHeDan]

Aye Squidmar, have you thought about showing in more detail how you take on these crazy challenges? Do a more in depth tutorial style video so more people can get awesome armies on the table in no time at all

[@NavalPanda]

As someone who want to start a Tzeentch army, thank you for this awesome video!

[@joshnorriss1969]

Hey mate, huge fan of your videos. Love the competition videos. I had an idea for you. You should make a colour wheel that you can spin & use to to decide what colours you can use in a competition. I think that would be fun!

[@joshnorriss1969]

You could also use spinning wheels to decide base types & time limits etc, would be super cool!

[@SnowTroIl]

This inspired me to start my first AoS army! Been eyeing at an unpainted Tzeentch army for a while so now I pulled the trigger and bought it. I'll try to soak up some painting tips from this video :)

[@eduardorodriguezcorrea7386]

Feels good to be painting along with my Squidmar MKI Tobolsky - Kolinsky sable brushes! I didn't know there was this much difference between GW and your brushes I would have grab some sooner.

WTB that fleshy wing tutorial, looks so crazy good on Archaeon

[@incredible-a-rgs]

How did you do the bases for Kairos? Been painting him for a while now (lots of gold, you know) and my initial plan was to make him stand on a fallen tree laying on a cliff. Your version is much more like it than anything I tried so far. Would love to know how you've done it. Much love from Germany

Did you find an answer to tha question ? I,ve tried looking through their most recent videos but couldn't pin point which one they are using :/

[@christiansebine7316]

Do you guys thin the contrast paints to airbrush them or right away from the pot? It would be amazing if you do a video explaining your speed painting process becouse guys...it's unbelievable what you achieve in that short amount of time!!😳 It would be fantastic for us to learn that 😋 You guys rock!💪😁

[@Khetaz]

Contrast paint are thin enough to be airbrushed from the pot. However, transparency varies a lot from paint to paint and you may need to thin them more with airbrush thinner (not contrast medium).

[@christiansebine7316]

@@Khetaz thank you mate, really appreciated!💪😊

[@christiansebine7316]

@@Khetaz so the point is still mantain the light values you make with the cenital priming, right?

[@Khetaz]

@@christiansebine7316 yes, however some contrast paints are more opaque than others hence why you may need to thin them more (blood angel red and shyish purple come to mind)

[@Khetaz]

Tbh for airbrushing purpose, inks are better than contrast paints. They work the same, are way cheaper and actually tell you what to expect transparancy-wise.
