Kitbashing the Pentarchy of Blood | Warhammer 40k Conversion and Painting Guide

[@PaintingNorth]

“I’m not a tattoo artist” yet your are I can’t even free hand the Templar symbol, and you painted the most amazing freehand I’ve seen great job ❤

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

I like to think I'm good enough to get by and dumb enough to try in the first place 😅

[@dagoth-ursbeekeeper9119]

A thousand very cranky Astartes led by a man with chainsaws for hands might be my favorite description of the Space Sharks

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

It's true though! 😂

Humble suggestion, A Custodes from each of the Shield Hosts. Epic as always, thanks!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Could be fun, and I always love building Custodes 🤔👀

[@DMXKonCur]

Nice, now I can conveniently rewatch all of them again!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

This guy 😂 I appreciate it, you psycho

[@stevo_hobbies]

Really digging the longer cut here, especially since I missed a few of these. great work my dude!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Glad you like it boss! Really appreciate having your support here 👍

[@BearGirlSummer]

So happy to see Flesh Eaters! I always feel like I’m the only one who plays/paints them anymore

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Flesh Eater chad spotted in the wild 👀

[@snakefangvv]

Why yes I will be rewatching this

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Always appreciated boss 🙏

[@social_ghost]

Would be really cool seeing your take on all the classic Guard regiments.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Don't worry, I've got plans for the guard 👀

[@bjornthefellhanded5655]

15:30 btw, every horus heresy plastic tank has the tank accessory sprue which comes with some plastic mk. II power armour bits including some open hands like that, and some neat binoculars&tablets. also a bunch of combi-weapon bits.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

That's super good to know actually! Much appreciated 👍

[@estellauwu6023]

I absolutely love your work and commentary! This long form content is perfect to watch while at work for me

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Glad you enjoy it boss! Thanks for that kindness

[@redeyethegoblin]

gotta love those Flesh Tear...eaters, amirite?

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

I'm gonna cry 😭

[@redeyethegoblin]

​@@TheLichsLaboratory At least you already have invested in a piece of future content!

[@mostcomplicatedman8115]

your kitbash videos are awesome . and props for the extra effort to provide their lore

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Glad you like them! I appreciate that 😁

[@bjornthefellhanded5655]

aww, you got my hopes up with the art you showed for the Charnel guard at first. I thought you were gonna do a Leviathan Dreadnought!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

...damn, I think I fucked up bro 🤔

[@TheGorreporre]

keep it going! great vid, and i just started it!!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Thanks chief!

[@Matt-md5yt]

glad you combined all the vids into one. hope you are doing well. :)

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

I am chief! A bit worn out from work and the mundanities of life but I'm gonna make it. Thanks for asking man, hope you're doing well too!

[@salvi4097]

Another video for the playlist

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Filed away neatly under the "music to get shawty in the mood to smash to" playlist😏

[@jboy1181]

Thanks for covering the red talons it’s an army I play after getting back into the hobby after more than 8+ years away I paint them a little different trying to get more of a metallic look to fit the iron hands successor theme also I have given a few Sargent/veteran units iron hands to distinguish previous service within the 10th legion

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Metallic red sounds sweet honestly 👀

[@MaximilienPerry]

Funny I was just thinking you dont see mauls and maces much if at all anymore than bam this vid popped up lol you did awesome thanks for sharing

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

And thank YOU for enjoying the vid, friend 😁

[@charlesnunya2347]

great video. lots of great work that you can tell was a labor of love. Thank you for sharing

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed my time with the Pentarchy 😁

[@elijahdumbidiotstupid8736]

i’m not gonna lie that charnel guard looks insane but would’ve reaaaally popped that much more with a rotting zombie head

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

I know, I wasn't even thinking when I glued the helmet on 😭😭

[@leroyowers9946]

Big fan of this

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Thanks chief! 😁

[@apierce4565]

id love to see you do some of the less loved first founding chapter, raven gaurd, iron hands, or maybe white scars would all be sick to see

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

I've done a few RG and IH successors in other vids but yeah, White Scars is something I need to do more of in general

[@theunseenparagon7074]

Ah! Another Space Marine Chapters video... I LIVE for these things! 🤟😅

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Always appreciate the support man 😎

[@loxcringe5677]

I got the impression that the video format (5 in 1) collects more views than (1 in 1)

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

That's a part of the reason why I did the separated series this time around: to give us something to compare to to see what format does better and what's more popular with the audience

[@maximevigneron560]

nice prints on your walls btw

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

They are my girlfriends! Except Shantae, that one's mine lol. This is the artist's website if you're curious allimackart.ecwid.com/

[@katamattyon]

Imo this is the optimal format, idk if the stats agree or not. I like having one long vid with multiple timestamps. I can listen to as much or little as I want and then come back for it rather than having to look for other related videos

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

I'm a little more partial to a single video as well. Separate videos make finding individual content easier but if I nut up and actually make more shorts, then I feel like that can be circumvented. Maybe supplemented is a better word 🤔

[@RegularMrMoore]

Hehe from Civ to stellaris your longform videos FUEL my addictions! (Help me please.)

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

No one can save you from Stellaris. Press F to pay respects to this man 🙏 F

[@jakeku2662]

Magnificent!

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Thanks chief! 😎

[@theoakgrovesquirrel3002]

I had a dream last night where a group of grots were left at end of a battle alone. They stumble on a dreadnaught and will it into working like a walking tank that they've messed with some of the mechanics but are now stomping around just going nuts

[@Talrashaa]

alright, im making my space marines flesh eaters. just something about rogue trader origins that gets the painters blood flowing

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Rogue Trader is unfiltered kino. Everything in 40k is just diluted RT vibes. I like going straight to the source lol

[@shogunender8752]

Yes this is godlike I love all these chapters and love the blood angel chapters specifically so cool. Edit Flesh Eaters… bruh were my flesh tearers at lol 😂. Definitely gonna needed a cool looking Primaris jump pack intercessor with a eviscerator and a heavy bolt pistol those look so good together.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Eviscerators make everything cooler 😎

[@feIIas]

You should make a diorama at some point. I'd love to see you tackle vehicles or make a backdrop

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Vehicles are definitely something I want to add to my armies in general but a vehicle diorama could be cool too! I made a vehicular diorama of a broken down United States APC and some soldiers doing field repairs for it as a gift for my dad. I should try to get some pics of that for Instagram one day 🤔

[@feIIas]

@@TheLichsLaboratory Hell, you've already mentioned a killteam you've made, why not make an enemy for them to fight?

[@leighannecouch8013]

You should do the chapters that participated in the Punisher War

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

I've had the Punisher Wars on my to-do list for a while now so don't worry, it'll come!

[@Hades-wt6xu]

I would love to see a good freehand painting tutorial. It's s skill not many yt minature painters have. Correction very few have the talent or knowledge on how to freehand markings or chapter symbols. Decals are used nothing wrong with that.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Hm, that aint a bad idea 🤔

thumbs up for FFX music

"Now to paint the pauldron banding according to the codex astartes... I chose the grey of the eighth company..." The... the eighth company... with a heavy bolter... according to the codex astartes you say?

Probably shouldve just done 9th to be safe 😅 It's uh... on loan

[@LordZugZwang]

thanks nuz

[@sha_663]

Please some meme marines. Like cornichons - pickles with studded pauldrons. Challenge is to make it memeworthy but fitting it into the setting in just the right camp way like lamenters, space sharks etc

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Meme marines is a good idea 🤔

How about a Badab war videos, you could make a maelstrom wardens video then the opposite team of Astartes chapters

[@Jaxbrix-g2y]

How do you set up your wet pallet

[@Adamantios-Alian]

could you convert a dark angel to be on the horse from the lord solar leontus kit? imagine the views on that.

[@HazardousHazard14]

A Space Marine riding a horse would be awesome as hell

[@Adamantios-Alian]

@@HazardousHazard14 Yeah I have been thinking about trying it for a dark angels ravenwing command squad.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Space Marine on a horse? Hmm, not something you see every day 🤔

[@TacticalDumbas5]

22:08 just alright? Just ALRIGHT! Bro… hate to break it to you but you make me question my own talent as an artist just getting into the hobby lol. I should stop watching these kinds of videos, because I just end up hating my own work haha… probably won’t though

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Practice makes perfect chief! I'm no painting god but after many countless attempts I'd say I'm... solid? But I had to earn it. Lotta ugly paintjobs in the past 😂

[@garryame4008]

What kind of putty do you use to paint your minis?

[@bad-people6510]

I love it when people born in the 90s think they're old.

[@thewastelander623]

What's the mix to your space marine juice. 2:1?

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

1 drop Army Painter Black Wash 1 drop Army Painter Brown Wash 2 drops Vallejo Glaze Medium Then I just use that ratio up and down depending on how much wash I need at the moment

[@snowcave4417]

very cool shit! keep it up :))

Disconcerting in what sense? Is the audio mixing off? It's obviously too late to fit anything now but I'd like to keep whatever the problem is in mind for the next one

[@mysteidolon8850]

@@TheLichsLaboratory Dear, there is a mood induce by the music , this kind of mall quiet joyful music do not seem adequate to speak about grimdark space night. Would you please reconsider keys and instrument to match more adequatly the atmosphere of the 40k millenium? By ex: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZrWYqSdj5Kpqck or kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3uYqoSsf8ikd5Y or even gothic choir? The BOF of LOTR is an example. Please try it once, I will buy u coffees.
