Rocking those tees! 🔥🔥🔥

[@DamianM90]

HOW DID LUCAS DO THAT IN 24 HOURS!? I’m normally not a fan of supporting his eating habit, but he does deserve at least half a cookie after this

[@EonsOfBattle]

this video was AMAZING! Lucas is my hobby hero, that 24 hour army was incredible

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

He's a legend, thanks jay!

[@Caleb-zs8is]

Two hobbyist legends in one place, truly a blessing from the Emperor......Okay time to compete with each other. Lol😁

[@theodorheidhues2566]

Squidmar biggest warhammer flex is that he is not single

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

lol

[@Robinhoffman-b2t]

And hes not a virgin

[@Daedricsoulslayer]

Bahahaha

[@chrisgould5606]

I was thinking his partner's biggest flex is that she's married to him. Lol

[@martinschreiber1203]

Biggest flex is he's married and his boyfriend works on the channel. Omega Chad move

[@thisismeXonline]

when emil said "this might be my worst idea ever" i was worried he was gonna attempt a resin pour at the last second 😂

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

it crossed my mind

[@angelocayo892]

oh god@@SquidmarMiniatures

[@hallstuart6604]

It wouldn't be a Squidmar episode without resin!😂

[@mystecoregames]

I love this continuing bit about Lukas and (not) getting paid, makes me chuckle every time.

[@mitcheldaniels5493]

I am worried for Lukas... blink twice in the next video if you need our help Lukas. Lol!

[@seanfitzy2256]

What bit? ;)

[@RepublicOfUs]

Yeah...the bit....

[@simulatedstring9029]

what a knee slapper

[@liqerise]

that "stormcast" army looks really good. it absolutely feels like someone did completely their own thing and just picked the army rules that their ideas fit in the best!

[@stephen6481]

You guys should do a studio tour sometime! It seems like it's changing a lot

[@Boardicus]

Lukas: “I’m actually sorta done-which is more than I can say for Emil” (Emil off screen): “Fack Ya-ouuu!” I laughed so hard! 😂

[@hallstuart6604]

Man that was soo funny!😂

[@bakus1er]

Came to the comments just to say this exact same thing! OMFG I snorted!

[@Rope257]

I don't even paint mini's but I watch videos like this to see what other people like to do in their spare-time. The moment this happened I instantly subbed 😆

[@truthlesslouw]

Wish you did this without it being a 24hour comp. You guys are so great at what you're doing and giving more time makes more sense than a marathon

[@2355Kyle]

Agreed, even a week would be real cool to see

[@truthlesslouw]

@@2355Kyle exactly!

[@darylccc]

I initally thought similar, however Emil does explain why in the video and I totally understand where he's coming from to have it as a 24hr challenge.

[@truthlesslouw]

@@darylccc yeah I get that, but still, with their skill any artist would want more time. 4 hours a night over a week is better than 24 hour marathon

[@jacenchrisbaker]

This. I'd rather see you both actually put a week or two into a passion project army and see what the end result is. How the warlord titan project worked out, with videos upon videos; do that with an army.

[@FangorzJeseniku]

Dear Emil and Lucas, I am watching your videos with my two 5 yo daughters for almost a year and I can´t find words to decsribe how amazing you guys are, original, funny, professional and inspirative at the same time. Your videos are the best edited I have ever seen. I want to start painting this Christmas and teach it one day to my daughters so we can have nice miniatures for our future D&D games. Thank you for all you are doing for the community. You are the best. Fingers crossed to beat the GW ;-). Wish you all the best to new year 2024 from Jesenik, Czechia

[@JustinKase1969]

Both armies looked amazing - was it on purpose that you chose Fire and Ice for conflicting themes? Would love to see more of that winning army, maybe invite the winner to a follow-up episode where we get some closeup looks :D Grats to both of you on a better painted army in 24 hours, than I have been able to complete in 24 months ;)

[@jeffatl81]

This hobby seems so calming, and so stressful in the same breath. I have zero artistic ability, but love watching this stuff!

[@MissZombunnie]

I would love if you did more videos like this, entering competitions and showing us the process as you go! You don’t need to rush it in 24 hours and we get to learn some things along the way whilst you get to focus on some projects you’re excited about!!

[@mindyfranke5279]

Well done both of you for 2nd and 3rd best in show! Glad you were able to play some too with those armies.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Yeah man i'm stoked! Had a ton of fun!

[@zilik513]

I like how people can actually be happy for others when they win

[@drizzt8886]

why not do a few "tutorial" videos each year where you paint your stuff that you've been wanting to paint, you could also do a series where you pick a painting competition and spend multiple videos just working on it going over all the stuff you're doing and the big payoff is the competition where we find out how well you placed. Your videos are very entertaining but getting a few that go into the technical aspects of your painting techniques would be fun and you could use it to work on personal miniatures instead of just giant projects, which are amazing, and I know some of your viewers including my wife and I would love to see and more importantly hear your process when painting.

[@dan_zehner]

Heck, do a "paint with me" and just stream it. I'd paint along with you from here in Oregon! Maybe a paint-a-thon?

[@andresperedo1275]

There are many other channels focused on tutorials. Squidmar is more about entertainment I would say, and obviously works very well for them

[@dpjgiii]

I love how nice you guys are even when not winning first place, love the talent and energy!

[@Snacklord_Dennis]

What a journey! Both your armies look freaking lit

[@JeroS.L.]

I'll die if I don't sleep ten hours a day, in our hearts you are the absolute winners.

[@olofgeelnard3148]

Great meeting you guys and seeing the models live! Stiff competition, the over all level at the AoS side is insane.

[@christopherscholl639]

When Lucas says, "My English is so bad right now," it's still amazing . I forget sometimes that you probably don't speak English nearly as much as your vocabulary and fluency demonstrates.

[@Holger87]

I really enjoyed to see you guys just having good quality hobby time. Your channel is all about big amazing projects and so on, but seeing you just paint your own stuff and playing with it was such a joy to watch ❤

[@Vafan313]

Well done guys. I love how your armies were reflections of each other, both burly brutes riding monsters, one through hot lava and the other across frozen tundra. You are an inspiration and awesome! And keeping it fun!

[@emdeo]

You got defeated only by a fully kitbashed army, and being in the process of fully kitbashing an army.... yeah, that's so much work. Amazing job, loved that display board a lot!

[@drich.5984]

:) I just want to appreciate how you guys were such good sports and not sore losers. It's tough to enter these comps and walk away without getting anything. I'd be lying if I didn't say it doesn't take a toll on me when I do it, so your attitudes are very encouraging.

[@CarnageCoon]

i´d love to see you guys paint up cool kitbashes your fans made no references, no definition of what it should be just a mix of the most creative ways inside the hobby

[@imagmahd7307]

Ngl it's dope you guys came in 2nd and 3rd, it shows how sick both your armies were, but that OSL winner definitely spent way more than 24 hours on it, a deserved win

[@SeanStClair-cr9jl]

DUDE (separate comment cuz the first one was a ramble) your skill and knowledge is actually so cool to watch over the years. That you are able to make an army this good-looking and just whip out that lava display without a second thought is awesome. Your experience is on clear display here, good job. Actually both of your armies are probably the most attractive at that event, so insane for 24h. I do get why the converted army won tho; I guess a huge factor for judging these things is like "out-of-the-box" stuff. Anyway, awesome work, can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@Boodoosh69]

Awesome video :) weird how Emil started almost resigned and sad and as the video went along he cheered up as he got more tired. Makes me want to try one of these 24 challenges. Both armies looked Lit have to say Lukas's horns were stunning :)

[@shaked2753]

Very inspiring. Awesome result. I really liked the diorama conversion at the end, looked super cool. Thank you for an awesome video. Awsome count: 2

[@hallstuart6604]

When Lukas said he was going to do resin early in the video I thought he was joking!! 😂😂 That guy is crazy!!😂 love it!

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

Amazed overhow great both of your armies turned out, staying up and doing any type of work is a real strain on your body and mind.

[@The_Mini_Creative]

Mind blowing what you guys accomplished in 24 hours. Truly inspiring.

[@blackjordan3444]

Thanks!

[@afinefrog541]

Props to the camera guy, the whole video is awesome. Love you guys! I love your content

[@thatepicwizardguy]

your armies looked insane, especially for the time put in. that ghost army was just out of this world though... I think that would have been my choice for a winner as well.

[@jacenchrisbaker]

Oskar's SCE army looks incredible. Sad that his socials don't have it posted. It's a beautiful army.

[@DMortuus]

Amazing job guys. Thank you for all of your videos. I no longer paint or game. So watching your adventures makes me smile and remember good times. :)

[@Pgsmith187]

Imagine being able to build base and paint an army in 24 hours to this level of quality. Amazing jobs both of you

[@MK_2023.]

Emil had already painted most of his army before the challenge started, so it doesn’t really count.

[@yanakaizzz9335]

I went back and rewatched the reveal and I must say I'm quite taken with Lucas' Orgres. My first thought is how it would actually be effective for them to shield only their belly due to their hulking frames. I then noticed that Lucas has actually included mild frost bite/wind burn on the flesh of the Orgres to tie them into their environment! He mentioned adding colours to bring out some personality and I see that and just wanted to give this little shout out. Love what you guys do! But don't stress about the KZbin algorithm. I think fewer companies are paying for advertising time leading to KZbin becoming too strict. Many of my frequent channels with huge followings like yours also are coming up ad free more and more. Best of luck and don't stress! I would also add that I ordered my squidmar brushes 2.5 years ago now and they still hold up nicely 👌

[@kristophskidoo324]

Both look incredible! I love the faces on the beast for both you guys! You really knocked it out of the park. Emil had amazing armor on Orks but I loved Lucas' bases. Hard choice but I think Lucas wins this round.

[@Doubleplayer1000]

On another note: Love how Orcs are crazy enough to ride a dragon (and anything else that has the abbility to move) but smart enough to attach a chain security line to hold them connected to the beast ^^

[@angelocayo892]

would love to see a battle report now that you two have armies. Love the display for Emils minis.

[@Etonnfu]

I love your videos, but can you show more of the process behind the base building? I mean this lava base is just awesome! I love it so much

[@DM-ICE]

Man. I can't believe you didn't win. The showcase base sealed the del in my mind. Grymt bra jobbat!

[@TheOctabreaker]

My favorite moment of the entire video? "don't swallow" hahahahaha thanks for the laugh. Great job guys!

[@TheLateNightPlayers]

Win or lose, that was amazing! The models are absolutely gorgeous. I could spend months on an army and barely scratch a fraction of that quality, let alone 24 hours.

[@TwinSteel]

Lucas deserved his own division for doing everything in 24 hours! Lucas is the GOAT

[@ChristopherSmith-m3t]

Damn all of them did really well especially one with the water bases that army was cool af

[@klug5916]

You're crazy, you know it, you show it with fun and humour. Great job, guys

[@BrianSurratt]

Stonehorn are amazing. Love the copper line finish. Need to try that on one of mine

[@Welshy180]

There is nothing stupid about a 24hr marathon, it’s something I’d love to try myself when I get a littler better at painting

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

This was amazing. Nice to see your armies. The winning army is amazing.

[@OntarioGuy430]

That Skaven Mechanicum army is great! Gives me hope for the future!

[@Bubbowie]

Thanks. That's my army and I worked all year on it.

[@minefanman]

​​@@Bubbowie please make a showcase video, they looked absolutely awesome

[@Bubbowie]

@@minefanman thanks! I'll see what I can do. I don't know how, so I'll see if a friend of mine can help me out 🙂

[@TheVengefulDeath]

Lukas @SquidmarMiniatures!!! Can you please give us a breakdown of how you painted the the Stonehorn's horns and faceplate as seen in this video around 16:15? Needless to say it looks amazing and I'd love to know the process - if you don't mind. Thanks, for this and the awesome content! :D

[@edwardrule7029]

Entered my first local Warhammer painting competition, it's absoloutely swimming in nuln oil but I'm proud of it

[@joshuakass-amsterdam8474]

I love the marathons btw! They seem so fun, I want to do something like that with my buds, but we don't paint armies... maybe 24hr DnD session?

[@SvenDeLure]

Both amazing armies!! Great job Emil and Lukas

[@VillarsGimm]

The car, the angle, and Lukas makes him look like a giant doing resin pours.

[@toversnoleu8769]

all these armies look SO SICK!!!

[@chrisantzaras]

Amazing job, guys. Do more of your own armies. We would all be watching and liking anyway!

[@Evilminiature]

watching this while working = so fricking nice. Now i just want to paint!

[@mattbaxter688]

Cheers from Canada gentlemen. You guys rock

[@DaneEast-rc8rm]

Beautiful looking armies, well done, guys!

[@billdefranza4927]

If I had to summarize this vid in one word, it would be, "amazing".

[@fredrikuppsall1043]

I was hoping for a grand reveal of the winning army. Try to do that next time please, it would make me happy and give the winner some well deserved spotlight.

[@sapatanque5881]

Soundtrack today really on point! (as always)

[@ahorriblebeast1265]

Great vid had a work shop luved every hour working in it created wonderful sculptures pls keep making more

[@Arctik39]

“Is it to get paid finally?” The face haha. So funny

[@robgeerds7659]

Both your armies looked amazing. Wouldn't mind a more detailed look at miniatures from the winners in your categories.

[@RexMundi-vi8lr]

you are both soooooo good at painting i love your minis

[@SquishyFishies]

A flying cabbage definitely something i never thought id see :O

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

Looked like soooo many awesome and intriguing armies all over there!

[@elneeth]

"and that's without mentioning the f@%king dragon," lol best line ever. You should make a shirt with 24hr f@%king dragon on it.

[@felixwestergaard4784]

Thats the most beautiful paintjob i've ever seen!! 🔥

[@deevy7746]

Luca …. those are sick! I don’t how you two can paint all that in 24 hours. Amazing

[@Bearrascus]

All those armies looked amazing. Considering you did yours in a 24h comp and came in 2nd amd 3rd is just mind blowing💪🔥🔥🔥

[@Dsgj]

Så jäkla fina ni är mot varann! Bra peppning vid prisceremonin:D Och till nått helt annat, det vore kul med en uppdaterad och in depth "Airbrush for beginners" med hela processen från att ställa in tryck, priming, få rätt konsistens på färgen och så vidare (en combo av det du/ni redan gjort och lite till). Gärna med din nya Harder & Steenbeck airbrush (som kanske är på väg hem i stugan)

[@bill9163]

“I’m going to smack Lucas ass” Lucas : 😮

[@InfernoSztorm]

@SquidmarMiniatures I wish you would start do again tutorial videos. :( How can I paint horn effect displayed at 16:10 ?

[@voice9893]

Videos Like this is why i subscribed. Love your Challenge Army Paint Videos ❤

[@anthony14rmg]

Really lovely work, and fantastic placings. Great job by both of you.

[@badfelix007]

Amazing video guys! I love your content so much. I am always excited to see new video pops off!

[@Scaran1982]

Fellas should do more videos of actual painting like this. I’d love to see a converted T’au army would be lit 🔥

[@Nigelius]

Shame neither of you won but the winners army did look amazing! I think both of you did fantastically well with the time you had!

[@ducomaritiem7160]

Nice work boyz! Both of you deserve respect!

[@Sabin41]

Your armies looked great. What about next time doing an army over a year? Start now and see how crazy of an army you can pull off by next year?

[@Hotshot7209]

I am 13 years old and your videos have been a huge inspiration to me so I'm just saying keep up the good work

[@yakidHB]

Lukas just makes me smile :)

[@briangrover1625]

The paint jobs turned out sick!!!

[@akutch564]

I know they probably suck to do but I really do love your 24 hour videos. They are always great content.

[@Katnook4440]

would love a bit of a tutorial on how you guys get lava looking so amazing.

[@archetypefan]

If you're looking for more time to paint your own models but don't want that time to cut into your work, have you considered streaming yourself paint? You could do a once a week painting stream where you painted a model for your army or it could just be painting something for an upcoming video. I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing your painting process at a slower, unedited pace. Great video as always either way

[@flekkzo]

You guys brighten my day.

[@TheMiniMadCat]

Lukas painting that army in 24 hours including bases with a resin pour is NUTS!!

[@farnball1]

I wish you guys could come over and give some painting classes in Amsterdam...

[@BearsFanGoomba]

Wow those looked fantastic! Great job!

[@stephanieknudtson4449]

Not to pick favorites but I think Lucas army is pretty dope.... Although that dragon. Nope it's impossible I can't decide! 😂

[@OliCassidy]

Awesome work guys. Could we get a tutorial on how to paint each army? I wanna know how to paint those ice horns and firey orks.
