I spent 24 hours painting my 40k army… and won best in show?!

[@hoyer]

It’s not easy being Lucas, all he want to do is create train dioramas. Poor guy.

[@Pyromanemac]

I'd watch that.

[@schneiderdark9132]

Omg, leave enough coments so Emil actualy bugs lucas to make a train diorama xD

[@lukaslauermann1984]

Simple, no cookies till he builds a train diorama 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@schneiderdark9132]

The coolest 40k train diorama ever!

@@schneiderdark9132 being lucas, he will put in a working engine and lights to get the "correct" feeling from it.

Lmao just a nice soak in hot water will do them well

I was thinking the same thing as soon as he started priming outside!

[@Oreo_cakester]

The "Please, I have family" was so hilarious, like Emil didn't even care lmao 😂😂😂

[@schneiderdark9132]

That one had me laughing for a while xD

[@MartinLindwyrm]

Got me too :D

[@ecMonify]

here's the actual subtitles if anyone cares :P Emil: "Nice. Congratulations! Great work!" Oskar: "Thanks, I was so damn nervous!" Emil: "Yeah :)"

[@Oreo_cakester]

@@ecMonify thanks ☺️ But I think Mr. Editor did the correct subtitles lol

[@robkiernan0]

"Please I have a family" Then why did you enter the same competition as us

[@luke7834]

Maxim's Ork army deserves a showcase video, come on now

[@billdefranza4927]

I'll second that!

[@Peron1-MC]

a "GRAND REVEAL!" if you will XD but yes absolutely :)

[@gavinjames1145]

100%

[@TommyVincentMathieu]

Also down for that!

[@philgee486]

Absolutely it does!

[@KazeTheCursedOne]

Yes to more army videoes, no to making them 24hr marathons. It's good for the algorithm but not your health. seeing you progress on your army even if it's in a handful of videoes rather than one long wild weekend is still satisfying. Maybe set a particular event as a goal and see if you can get an army painted for an event or paint a particular model as good as you can for that event?

[@TwinSteel]

Lukas is the GOAT and definitely deserves the recognition - so skilled - pulls out amazing work in crunch - and produces top tier work when he’s still short on time 👍🏿

[@Akillesursinne]

Thanks for the game at 17:28! That was a beautiful army and although I feel the idea of it wasn't to make a horribly competitive list, I still felt it was a fun game and you were a very friendly opponent. So thanks for a great show! I felt somewhat saddened I didn't end up on the best in show selection myself, but I'll have to come back with a grand display tray and some free-handed banners next time!

[@NanookReviewz]

These are the best type of Squidmar videos, amazingly painted models and finished projects at the end of the video with some steps on how it was done through the process.

[@BokoaChocobo]

totally agree with you

[@fatelux]

Congrats to Lukas!!!! Such a beautiful and original W40K army.👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BlackHoleEye]

Lukas: Spraypaints outside in the coldest winter in years and paints non-metallic metal Also Lukas: "Speedpainting :)"

[@philgee486]

I love the look of the army, the style Lucas uses somehow really shouts dynamic comic book in a way that truly compliments the grey knights. I hated the basing until it was painted, just couldn't understand the shaping and now I'll be stealing it for my next army

[@Deletirium]

I've never played a tabletop strategy game in my life- not even D&D. (Wasn't for lack of interest, just never got around to it) This channel makes me want to start... I never thought watching other people meticulously paint miniatures could be so satisfying.

[@AcoylteKraven82]

16:09- Sorry, 1 more thing! The face in this time stamp is beyond insane!!! Wow! That’s not only at the top of any level of painting! That is top level in the highest levels of painting!!! Best 1 word to describe this is “perfection”!!!

[@RovingBiologist]

Congratulations! Beautiful army as always. Looking forward to your next project as always. Now give Emil a poke about that custom Gargant Army he's working on.

[@Snacklord_Dennis]

Emil being such a gangster "I know where you live" 😂 Congrats to Lukas and Maxim!

[@Ainar86]

That comic book style black metal is absolutely insane!

[@jayedwards7520]

man, your miniature's faces are unreal. They have such character. They come alive like nothing I've ever seen before. A well deserved win.

Congrats Lukas. It is unbelievable too see how fast you do the NMM Gold on your minis. Awesome Army!

[@ethanbarrettdebattista5124]

Lukas, you hands down killed it. That was an incredible and gorgeous use of DA models for a Black Templar army. Truely, bravo. Very happy to see a video showcasing your perspective as well as some more Maxim. The Squidmar team is what makes this content so enjoyabke.

[@wkziegler]

Congratulations Lukas! The freehand on the big banner was incredible. Great army!

[@Codex_of_Wisdom]

That army deserved Best in Show! The patterns on the paint were beautiful, the poses and bases interesting. Well done, Lucas!

[@wolfgangcomacho]

Grats Lucas, @Emil give him 1/2 a cookie .. no chocolate chips, raisins only

[@RickardLejonhjarta]

Lukas is the kinda dude who makes me want to give up painting like wtf is this Actual Sorcery

[@cbjewelz]

Seriously, he's one of the few painters where I look at the reveals and I can't understand what techniques, layers, etc. were used.

[@ryanfogarty7691]

Lukas just makes me perk up whenever he has a video. ...partly because I want to see if he takes his hat off. He's very handsome without it.

[@Xelopher]

I have totaly opposite :D Yes sure the impression "What kind of magic is it" is always with me when they are paiting so good and so QUICK (yes freaking army in a week which looks good as hell is quick - even if you didn't make it in 24h :D ) - but in the same time there is "teach me this magic masters!" :D

[@Ninjorz]

Lucas, the painting you accomplished was absolutely amazing. Jaw-dropping. Absurdly beautiful! You are now the master. You must take Emil under your wing and teach him ... get him to stop using those IKEA acrylic paints or something.

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

Those space marines look truly awesome. It's no surprise that you won. This was an amazing video. Thanks for sharing!

[@tritondoes1271]

Struggling with my pile of shame black templar army this gave me motivation not only to paint my models but make sure I like the way they look instead of rushing through to complete them. Good work Lukas!!

[@axlefoley6330]

I know that not everyone can be a great painter, but it still upsets me when I see Emil and Lukas paint really fast and really accurate. For me to get that accurate I have to go really really slow lol. But seriously brilliant work mate.

[@travisd2895]

Lukas!!!!! You did it! I am so proud of you! You're a light in the hobby that so many can follow. What a stand up example of how if you put the work in, you can achieve it. Bravo!❤

Kudos for consistently putting out the best content in the miniature realm

That is the best army painted on this channel and holy heck is that a thing to write! Maxime's Ork army looked INCREDIBLE as well!

[@jasonphelps9795]

I find it entertaining to see you guys paint against the clock, but I would really like to see your army painted with care over a weeks time with little to no barriers. I started watching this channel because I wanted to learn how to paint, now I watch more to be inspired to paint. You guys are really good, and I want to see your best efforts, not your best challenges, if you get my meaning. Keep up the great work, I know there is a lot of work to churn out a video each week. Love what you do.

[@AcrylicJumbo]

Surprisingly this is probably the best example of that we'll ever get ! Lukas did stay painting for 24h on this but took his time to perfect everything on this army throughout the following two weeks !

[@jasonphelps9795]

It did turn out incredible. They are both so very talented.

[@Flippmed]

That army is simply AMAZING

[@CaptainWwowW]

Fading out on that line at 11:21 is comedy gold lol

[@KRF-xj2wh]

There was some stiff competition but that was a derserved win for Lukas. It takes more than just technical painting skills to make a modern SM army look that characterful and interesting.

[@gregmccormack5709]

A bunch of nice armies there but the win was well deserved. The paint job on Lucas army was soooo good.

[@webzfamilygaming1304]

[@user-bf7gv9dv2f]

Looks absolutely incredible! You should be so proud. If i were to add one tiny thing, i would drybrush the tufts a bit. It would really make the bases match the grimdark, high contrast feel of the models.

8:33 it'd be smarter if you turn on the lights in the room. When it gets dark, the melatonin levels rise and make you tired. So bright light in the room along with some Red Bull might help. Also B12 or an Apple/fruits will help too.
