Could you 4d print the missing part or make a resin copy?

[@bosskeystore8694]

If you provide good photos and measurements I might have time to 3d model one for you. (I can get it 99% right, but I'd 3d print both parts so it would be uniform.)

100%. Was wondering what was up, but completely understand… take your time, have fun.

[@Samsminis]

You should do more videos like this. As someone who really doesn't care about warlord titans and originally subscribed due to your older hobby tutorials, I like just seeing you enjoying painting.

[@cammcl9886]

I love how your break is still painting, the passion shows. Take your time, some of us played 40k before 7th edition. We can wait.

[@douglascampbell9809]

Some of us have played since Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. That's 1987 for the young pups.

[@MrAcuta73]

@@douglascampbell9809 Remember waiting for my copy of White Dwarf to show up in the mail for new rules. Though to be fair, my friends and I didn't really "get into" it til the mid-90's. 1987 seems later than I remember, but...I'm old, not surprised. And we were mostly into Battletech and D&D (still) at that point.

[@Lemonyxx]

Take as much time as you need, Emil! As much as we love the videos, it can't be at the cost of your (mental) health! We'll still be here regardless!

[@cHEEESe_Gaming]

Definitely you need to take brakes even from what you love

[@clinch4402]

Imagine telling your manager that you're tired of your 9-5 retail job. Why should we feel sorry for this guy again? This video is a slap in the face to most of us lmao

[@Lemonyxx]

@@clinch4402 How is that the same thing?? Burnout is very real, and can happen to anyone, there's no point downplaying it

[@clinch4402]

@@Lemonyxx It's exactly the same thing, only not everyone makes a grand announcement that they're a little bit tired of their job. Meanwhile dude's fortunate enough to be able to take a break whenever he feels like it, AND farming for sympathy lmao

[@FrankieRogersArt]

Iv'e got to say, this was such a refreshing change of pace. I miss seeing you working on projects for yourself rather than these big sensationalized ones. While I enjoy the big projects, seeing you paint what makes you happy is nice. I hope this helped you de-stress. look after yourself

[@HardenedFist]

This.

[@JorisVDC]

This is the best advice, for anyone, really: follow your heart and passion.

[@weshammer]

Take all the time you need my dude! burnout is real. I actually just found that out myself after working like crazy over the last year. You all make amazing content and your passion shines through in every video you create. none of us are going anywhere. enjoy that time painting your personal stuff. :)

[@Jefferson-pf7il]

Oh wait, you that slannesh guy, how u doing man, also “got any hint hints for the next vid?” 😉

[@void4030]

Hi Wes, how’s it going?

[@davevd9944]

Same applies to you mate love your content take the time you need and above all you're N1 in your own life and always take care of yourself first. Remember that you can't help another if you yourself need help first so always prioritize yourself hard as it can be.

[@signemadsen6141]

More of this please! Seeing you happy and just working away on little personal projects is super cozy and fun content as well!

[@Cerviathrax]

While I understand that the algorithm and metrics suggest you to do multi-part format videos for best results, I must say I really love the one off videos where you paint things you like and discuss things, that's a format I personally really enjoy. Keep up the good work man, I'll be watching.

[@maxhamasaki861]

Hope you feel better

[@mcswainy]

I enjoy watching videos where you just paint something simple. It doesn't always have to be big, huge projects. Thanks for your content and the effort you put in!

[@guillaumeslv9508]

Loved this format, we don't always need a serie on a huge and stressfull project to be intertained, just you enjoying your hobbie is enough! take care of yourself!

[@jpurgal]

More like this please! The ambitious stuff you guys put out on the channel is incredible, but I love this stuff too. I don’t think you’d lose anyone putting the occasional video like this out in more regular breaks between your big project videos. Your personal painting journey when you started the channel was awesome to watch and very relatable for the average hobbyist. It really comes through that you are enjoying yourself here and that’s fun to watch. You and Lucas are so disgustingly talented now, it’s cool to see you just hobby.

[@benjamin2629]

its like we all keep coming back for Emil and Lucas and not just crazy diorama's

[@jackohare5428]

I won't lie, more videos where you just casually churn through your backlog of projects would be very welcome. It's great to see you chilling, working on varied things and having fun doing it! I'd happily subscribe for a second time to see a video like this a month or something.

[@ronuss]

It was nice to get a break from the epic vids with ur big projects, and get a more down to earth video about just doing you and enjoying the hobby. Felt a lot like ur older content. It would be nice to get more vids in this style from time to time.

[@mikkel456123]

Love this format! 😊 Would not mind getting some relaxing “i do what i’m excited about”-videos every once in a while! Especially not if it cuts down on stress-levels for you guys’! 😊

[@KaterenaTheRed]

This is honestly probably one of my favorite videos of yours! The joy and passion shines through! I'd love to see more "take a break to just have fun" videos!

[@martyjfox]

I can watch you paint your backlog for months! Dont hesitate to whatever you feel like, all your videos are epic! I hope you have a nice trip in Australia!

[@jacobbalensiefer3846]

I genuinely find your personal army stuff to be very inspiring. I’ll never own a big titan but I’ve got some trolls and goblins that need some attention and your style is definitely influencing how I’m painting them up.

[@Moggy1k]

Emil I'm glad the tusks arrived safely. It's nice to see you enjoying them, can't wait to see the finished model. Stay safe stay sane.

[@TheThewhatnow]

I would love more of these types of videos, they don’t all have to be epic 7000$ dioramas, getting cool videos of smaller conversion projects or painting are equally cool. The fact that this is a passion project is even better, you have my vote for making this a mini-series if you hit a roadbump like this again!

[@yanceyboyz]

Technically it's like a 10 cents not 7000 dollars

[@TheThewhatnow]

@@yanceyboyz They didn’t even pay for that first goblin, they just said it had a value of 10 cents, i don’t think 2 Warlord titans have the same value.

[@yanceyboyz]

@@TheThewhatnow so the titans were free. Value and what you pay for something are completely different things. They traded up to the titans, they didn't make a video series saying "we bought 2 titans" If everyone paid the value of something, there would be no second hand car market...for example

[@TheThewhatnow]

@@yanceyboyz In every video they make about the project, they make a big deal of telling the audience about how much these titans are worth, or have you not watched any of their videos? They spent months trading up models and armies to get to this point, you are basically saying the whole diorama is worthless and all that work is worthless, i guess you think they should just sell it for 0$ and make nothing for charity? It’s such a strange hill to die on. If they decided to just straight up sell the parts that went into making the diorama before starting the project, then that is the value of the diorama, and choosing not to sell the parts is the “cost” of making it, it’s not a hard concept to grasp. The end result will probably be worth far more then that to a collector.

[@aloeatta]

Take as much time as you need :) We'll just rewatch some videos, they are as much fun to rewatch as they were the 1st time

[@Wymorn]

I'm sorry that you're feeling stressed about the titan project. It is understandable, I would not even know where to start! However, this video was wonderful, a huge part of why I personally enjoy your content is seeing your passion projects come to life and how you approach things! I personally would not mind a few more down-to-earth passion project kinds of videos to keep things fresh. I know many others would like that too!

[@scrcrwninja]

Man the games workshop taking forever and a day on something simple, reminds of my wait for my merch from tee spring (over 2 months wait on something that should have been shipped in under 2 weeks)

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Is it from our t-spring stuff? Send me an email on our site if so:)

[@ericphilippa]

I wouldnt mind seeing more of this random paint / build stuff. Not having a grand reveal, just build and paint. Love seeing your process. Take it easy, just enjoy.

[@stepan.tichyy]

I think these kind of videos are the best of your content. Showing a happy time painting and hobbying is the best. Take care of your mental health and do show your smaller projects!

[@miniaturefun-guy]

Cool video. I love finishing old projects or tinkering with long standing projects. This was a fun hobby video.

[@TheVakama112]

Honestly I’d love more videos like this, just lowkey projects you’re working on. That three in one miniature seems so cool!

[@shawnross120]

as a creator myself this was the best video and something I really needed right now, being told that it's OK to just sit back and paint cool stuff, relax, so cool

[@mustangmkii8349]

As awesome as you are big project videos are, I really do like and miss these smaller projects. As long as your passion is still there, your videos are always entertaining to watch no matter how big or small.

[@BokoaChocobo]

Beign honest here Emile, I miss these kind of videos, the huge dioramas are awesome, but I remember your content from 2 years ago, doing these kind of small projects and I miss them, without being a challange of some kind, just you chilling, doing a paint job, going over your though process with nice music.

[@artusyeddou5792]

Really loved this video, seeing you work on your personal projects, just show us some cool paint jobs and conversions it’s always amazing

[@ypesie]

take how ever much time you need! We'll be here when you come back. And I'm watching your videos over and over again haha so I won't even stop watching

[@ChopsTV]

I'm sure the big show-stopping projects and massive builds are good for the ol' KZbin algo but I love these little "personal project" videos just as much. I don't think anyone would complain if you slowed down and just showed us these projects that you're really into and excited about whenever you were feeling overwhelmed by the big ones.

[@jasperwijker2916]

Love this video! It's nice to see you just work on projects even when they're not finished at the end. ❤

[@MilesAwayGames]

This was my fave of your videos in a long time, glad you took the time for yourself!

[@patrickdevine7670]

Yes ❤ please do more videos of this stuff. Old school painting technique stuff and seeing you enjoy your hobby!

[@DrTaftinator]

Squidmar I watched an older video of your tips for 3D printing... I HIGHLY recommend getting a Paralytic Pump for your resin printer. It's an absolute must for changing resin, cleaning out the vat, etc!!!

[@the47blog16]

Take a chill week every week, love these kind of videos. There are more relatable ^^ And go on holiday no worries

[@larsvogelpoel4396]

[@anthonyreynders2295]

Fantastic video, I totally understand needing time to relax and recharge. It's great to see you working on projects you are excited about. I would actually really love to see more of these, maybe a series of these for a while or as a once a month to put an idea out there? It is a very wholesome video and really what I needed today. Thank you. Take as much time as you need and I would love to see the progress if you work on personal projects like this more. Thank you for all you provide for this community and for all the amazing videos

[@GermanNightmare1976]

I'm excited about you having FUN in the hobby, now, and for many more years to come!

[@samuraisloth4217]

I think this should be a series, doing stuff I think is cool

[@MattGelgota]

Came here to say the same! The epic stuff is really cool but this change of pace was fun too. I love the gargant project and I’m sure we all can identify with having a bunch of passion projects on deck that could use some love. We’re here for it Emil!

I really like this kind of video. Paint and hobby what you like, vlog style! Keep us updated on your projects!

Hey Squidmar, I love watching your videos - especially diorama ones. Please take as much time as you need, so you dont burn out!

[@Hades-Abyss]

You should definitely do more videos like this. It was great watching you do stuff you wanted to do and not be worried about stuff. Getting back to the roots great video, keep them coming.

[@telanth]

It's also super nice to see you paint stuff for your personal projects and not the regular videos :)

[@thelyoncreative]

These models are looking great. I think the message here speaks to a lot of people. Sometimes we get burnt out just trying to paint up a full army, or meet a deadline. Every now and again it helps to take a step back and just paint something fun or put a little time in other projects. Great Video!

[@Factshortvids]

I love your different series of planned content.. however, you guys just having fun creating and painting are incredibly relaxing and satisfying to watch as well. Please keep taking care of your wellbeing… its easy to take for granted. Anyway, warm greetings from Utrecht, the Netherlands ! Cheers 😙

When you’re starting to feel burned out and the frustrations get to you, it’s absolutely the right call to give yourself a breather. If you try and push it then there’s always the risk that you start falling out of love with the hobby.
