[@eriqone9245]

the sharks got me back into warhammer since it was nice to have a connection having polynesian heritage. the war maul is a nice touch since clubs are classical islander weapon. It looks like some of your designs takes some cues from filipino patterns too. I use my sharks to explore different aesthetics between islands nations, it would be cool to see some overtly filipino tribal themes in another shark model!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Filipino eh? I guess I have to thank my ancestors for guiding me through this one then because I STRUGGLED 😂

[@OldManRogers]

I wonder if some lizardman clubs might look good too as the teeth could be shark teeth not obsidian?

[@eriqone9245]

@@OldManRogers it's a solid no hassle option! The Kiribati had shark teeth weapons and armor. The iconic Fijian totokia club aka the Star wars gaffi stick is much more of a hammer. So the clubs with the spherical heads on the old warrior kit would be really nice. But the trusty chain axe is the good ole reliable when in doubt 🤣

[@DumbRobotStuff]

What do you mean the exile markings are "just alright" and "could be better"? They turned out amazing, an insane level of detail for the scale

the Maori exile marks really elevate this and give it so much extra character and soul. Also, the blood splatter. Favoriting this, as theirs a non zero chance Carcharadons are a chapter or kill team I might invest the time and effort into someday.

[@RSBurgener]

This is a really cool idea for a focused series. I would call this an underappreciated chapter of the lore, one that's ripe for examination.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

They definitely have the most content of the Pentarchy, yet I feel like the exile markings and other awesome sculpting conversions scare a lot of people off from starting a Sharks army/KT since they don't just want to have grey marines.

[@handsomeheroharry]

Fuck yeah dude, from the Big reveal of the free hand markings to the end final showcase with the blood splatter chest piece and mace. ICONIC.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Thank you kindly chief 😎👍

[@BruiserActual]

This. Is. Insane. Absolutely 💯 captured their chapter from my minds eye. The pose, like he’s wading through a see of enemies non-chalantly, without a care cause “that’s what I do”….is actually so brilliantly menacing. What a fantastic idea with the club too. Also, exceptional freehand of the honor marks. (Not exile, they’re proud of what they represent!). Although I’m not a huge fan of all the trendy, mainstream chapters, I’d def most likely start here w the Sharkies. Although I’m just a big, white boy, I lived in Hawaii for a while and lived with a Tongan family for a couple years. I love the tattoo tradition of the Polynesian cultures. All 8 of the main pac island cultures have similar, yet unique styles that represent their home countries and it’s awesome to give them a nod here! 💪🏼

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Hey thanks chief! Glad you like it 😁 I realize I could've gone flashier and hit more of the Maori aesthetic but not every model has to be a blinged out captain lol

Currently building a small charcharodons force to supplement my raven guard, always great to see differn't peoples takes on them in such detail!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

A supplemental force sounds like a cool idea for an army addition actually. Maybe I could do something for my own Tuatha de Danann 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@AshleyBlackwater]

@@TheLichsLaboratory Its mostly just to stop me getting bored of painting the same thing, I also do full colour scheme Deathwatch for the same reason 😅 The "sons of corax" force i'm building also includes raptors. Modeled to be a scouring era army, gives me alot of freedom with armour marks whelst letting me include mk7 for the raptors, make them feel distinct and differn't :) The charcharodon part of the army is gonna be the smallest, just 6 """agressors"""(using tartaros terminators with tortuga Heavy V heads), a jump squad (using khorne beserkers with chainaxes, mk5 heads, and the chaos bits cut off), and tyberos himself (using a converted abbadon). Anyway since I forgot to say it, excellent job with this model and video in general. You see alot of people skimp out of the tattoo patterns when it comes to this chapter, but I feel like its a really important part to establish thier identity, doing it so well to boot is great to :D The overview on the culture they're based on is a really great call to :)

[@swakage13x]

I live with the theory that they are night Lord loyalists and until something official from GW comes out my mind will never be changed from that

[@AshleyBlackwater]

Outcast raven guard (along with the Ashen claws) is the most solid theory with the most evidence backing it up. They have Night lords gear and might even be chimeric from salvaging tho.

Wow these freehands are stunning!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Thank you kindly! 😊

[@StephenLeaSheppard]

That is one of the best space fish I've ever seen. Great pose, great freehand. Couple of notes: -The use of exile marks dates back to the color plates in Imperial Armour Vol. 10: Badab War Part 2, written by Alan Bligh and published in 2011. Supposedly Alan Bligh had specific ideas in mind for the origins and secrets of the Carcharodons, which he explained to Robbie MacNiven before he died of cancer. Robbie has since been the to-go guy for Carcharodons novels because he's the one who knows what's up with them, but their use of kirituhi can't be credited to him. As for what those secrets are, MacNiven is apparently committed to revealing them in dramatically effective fashion or not at all. Are they Ashen-Claw-descended Raven Guard successors? Loyalist Night Lords made by those Ashen Claws from Night Lord geneseed they raided? A chimeric mixture of the two? Loyalist World Eaters who hooked up with the Ashen Claw nomad-predation fleets, even? (There's a passage in Outer Dark where an Ashen Claw implies that a captured World Eater is of the same heritage as the Carcharodon point of view character.) One of the two missing Legions, with Tyberos being so big because he's a sekrit Primarch? (Probably not that one.) Only Robbie knows! And he'll only tell if he's given an opportunity to write another Carcharodons book and he feels the reveal would be a natural thing to include in its narrative and not just a forced lore dump stapled to it. -Their attack on the Mantis Warriors during the Badab War is primarily notable for its methodology. The Mantis Warriors were engaging in hit and run guerilla war, but despite being on the side of Lugft Huron's traitors they were still culturally a loyalist space marine chapter with strong ties to duty to their recruiting worlds, so the Carcharodons dealt with them by... just attacking and slaughtering civilian population centers on Mantis Warrior worlds to draw them out of hiding. The space sharks love them some war crimes, a trait shared by World Eaters, Night Lords, and pre-Corax Raven Guard alike, so that doesn't help unravel the mystery any. -If you want an alternative to metal ball bearings, you can get styrene hemispherical rivets from a number of manfacturers, usually sold in model train stores. I use Tichy Train Group rivets. They come in a number of sizes, are half-spheres so you don't need to drill a hole to sink them into, and they're styrene so you can attach them with plastic cement.

[@Bluecho4]

Sick-ass freehand work, my guy. On another note, for those looking for shark-y bits for future projects, Pete the Wargamer is going to release his "Dead Animal Bits" sprue soon. I backed the Kickstarter, and from the updates it seems like they're not too far off as of this writing. (I intend to use all the shark bits on my Traitor Guard army (when Wargames Atlantic delivers on The Damned), as trophies taken from their native desert planet's "Sand Sharks". I'm thinking necklaces made from thin garden wire with teeth glued to it, and the jaws stuck on my Ogryn or the fronts of vehicles).

Thanks chief! Always appreciate the support. I missed out on the Kickstarter but I definitely want to get a box of the sprue for Chaos mutants. I saw a lot of shark stuff on the sprues as well so Space Shark players will eat good there too

1. Love your videos man, keep it up! 2. I subscribe to two more obscure theories on their origin. First is they're actually from the gene stock of the Night Lords, which would explain their stealthy/brutal ways and appearance. OR, they're really remnants of a lost legion, which would explain their secrecy as well as their ramshackle gear and their chapter masters freakish size.

[@canniballord2874]

I have always felt that it was most likely that the Carcharodons were made from experiments with Night Lord geneseed, or maybe even were founded by Night Lords that defected from their father. Their physical appearence fits the sons of Kurze to the letter, the exile marks would make sense with their complicated (traitorous) history, and their predatory tactics that rely on stealth and ambush in void warfare are similar to how Night Lords would also utiluze stealth. Plus it makes more sense for their founding to be so secretive if they were made from arguably the most bastardized primarch. Why be secretive if they were just Raven guard successors? Also the Night Lords book loves to make the comparison that Night Lords move through space like a Nostraman shark lurking in dark waters.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Yeah the Night Lords theory seems to be one of the more popular theories in the Space Shark... spaces.

They are confirmed to be terrain born raven guard. They work with the ashen claws, the same terren born raven guard. Both from the exiled raven guard before the heresy. Part of the reason not just being them being slavers and more like night lords... they worked with horus in the ashen claw formation. Hence the confirmation

Where did you get the green stuff in the jars?

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

They're sticks I bought separated in a single tube, then stuffed into small plastic stacking jars from Hobby Lobby. The jars were like 5 bucks for 5 containers and having them separated in tubs really helps with storage and grabbing the right amount of putty for mixing. Also makes a nice impromptu painting/sculpting handle. Not required for this line of work, but it's convenient!

[@jingokhan]

Hmm. Do you film all your videos with your phone camera? I didn't know that was a thing. I just assumed everyone had a camera for filming and now I'm intrigued...

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

I do! Although I've been desperately trying to save up for a proper camera to improve my video quality. I just recently had a huge car repair bill that severely cut into my budget acrosd the board so that's complicated a lot of things even outside of the channel. I'm very thankful to at least have support on Patreon and KZbin ad rev or I'd be even worse off, but I've got to wait a bit before I can grab the camera I've had my eye on 😮‍💨
