Raid Shadow Legends - game owned by casino making money of people with mental problems... Your integrity was flushed down the toilet :/

[@jonathondaniels2127]

Lucas is such a talented artist and a complete natural in front of the camera. You're very lucky to have him Emil.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

I sure am 😍

[@leslamers1633]

I completely agree, he was awesome at "The Deathly Hallows" 😅 Sorry, couldnt resist 🙏🙏🙏. Nice vid guys, love you 😘

[@limerslimer]

@@SquidmarMiniatures you should give him a raise (not Lucas' alt)

[@SirVikos]

He is the real star of the show, his artist talent its just overwelming. Every project he did on this channel I just love it!

[@n6356583]

I love that the production quality and vibe didn't suffer while Emil was taking care of his family. Lucas really stepped up. Nailed it!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

He sure did

[@EnvyTVable]

Man every single one of these episodes is so impressive. Also Lucas did a great job hosting this video, such a nice guy and talented artist

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

He's the best

[@Rexxnarlol]

I am so impressed how Squidmar Miniatures went from just Emil to a team of painters/crafters in such a fluent way! You guys are amazing to watch!

[@christianjohnson3205]

I was thinking the same! It’s not just Emil miniatures but actually Squidmar!

[@Kyle-zl5zb]

Your team never fails to impress with this project. That cave is just amazing! Especially those eggs

[@Wolfie21384]

You all are like the Midas of Minis. Everything you touch turns to awesome. Can't wait for the next reveal

[@imbadateverything8095]

I think when you get to the rhino it should be the same colours as the space marine just to make everything fit together

[@CosmicCustodian]

The skeleton Space Marine was the perfect addition to this diorama! I like the idea of the Tyranid sucking the energy out of him. Also the roots were a nice touch, really brings the whole underground feel together.

[@SprayBlackStudios]

I'm in two minds, I can't wait to see this finished but I am also loving these individual videos. Something this epic deserves to be shown off in detail! Seriously awesome work boys!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

It's taking us ages so I think it's better we share than make 1 big video in 3 months 😅

[@SprayBlackStudios]

@UCDvZTWvHZPTxJ4K%F0%9F%91%8D%F0%9F%91%8D1yTD2a1g Haha definitely the right decision! I will say though, that final reveal is going to be nothing short of epic.

[@marcelburdon9795]

I really loved the focus on the other boys in this video! They should get more screentime in the future, really good vibes!

[@TRUEiMPROrecords]

That instant heatgun cave texture at 2:32 was quite satisfying...

[@TheFaenT]

Awesome guys, job well done! One final touch I feel is missing: the broken egg of the hatched spore alien :) It looks a bit weird that one alien has hatched and is leaving the cave, but there is no egg it hatched from.

[@KironLunaEden]

He probably already ate it. Biomass is biomass 😁

[@TheFaenT]

@@KironLunaEden Fair point. Wouldn't it then eat its 'siblings' if biomass is biomass? ;)

[@Vyes]

WELL ACTUALLY it wouldn’t because the hive mind is dictating it’s actions. You’re welcome. Off to the next Warhammer comment section where I’m needed.

[@prdalien0]

@@Vyes But there's no synapse creature near them so technically they're feral.

[@nickkohlmann]

@@prdalien0 Not in a place where we see it, at least

[@micahbruce4547]

Aight real talk. HOW DO YOU GUYS EVEN COME UP WITH SUCH AWESOME IDEAS???? I'm just blown away by your creativity and artistry and I want to be able to do that myself.

[@robert2pkt0]

When you are at a point as an entrepreneur that you can absolutely rely on a team to step in and make an awesome job! So happy!

[@Aegis159]

Looks awesome and awesome job from the rest of the Squidmar team! One issue I would recommend tackling is lighting.... when this piece ends up on display it's not going to have such directed and specific lighting like's shown in the reveal. There needs to be some type of interior lighting for the space otherwise a LOT of the detail you all put into the mini diorama is not going to be visible.

[@DingoPaints]

The Diorama is coming along great. each bit is its on mini diorama. Lucas you are doing a great job.

[@tommccarthy1233]

You guys are ballin out of control with this project. I love dead space marines!

[@Nanowith1]

I'm really loving the expansion of the Squidmar team! The kind of projects you guys can work on together are amazing and also the dynamic is really fun, keep up the great work you guys!

[@ThomasGallinari]

So creative, so much attention to details, and the narrative of this diorama is so cool, this is gonna be awesome, can't wait!

[@antonyspencer6222]

Great work by Lucas and Victor.

[@derklemmbausteinbahner]

Definetly from another Planet, great work.

[@graefx]

The marine corpse looks beautiful. Loved coveting the cables as tentacles

[@mattpk1609]

Can't wait to rewatch this series when all the video released! Edit: Shoutout to Victor's hat for not falling off while he is moving like that.

[@anthonywilliamcatt8220]

Haven't done modelling for nearly 16yrs and this channel has brought it all back for me in a big way! Loving this series and looking forward to the next video. Really enjoy the way you are covering this design and build process - keep up the epic works lads!

[@KabinMiniatures]

I have to say the diorama is at least as awe-inspiring as GW's largest model that it's built for. Those alien eggs are so cool!

[@mondoexpedition]

Cool to see the rest of the team in the spotlight, great to see them display their talent.

[@Modge17]

Spore mines are actually really satisfying to paint!

[@danieljvanrensburg]

Its all coming together, gonna be good

[@arcticgecko5062]

I have to keep making my suggestion of some purple orks hidden somewhere on the build, since purple is the sneakiest colour

[@ezebg666]

So this is how Squidmar's diorama universe starts

[@delsim3550]

following these videos from the start has honestly hyped me up so much for the grand finale, it's actually crazy i have never been this hyped for a youtube video. Amazing work from everyone Squidmar Miniatures!

[@andresperedo1275]

Super cool. I think the dead marine armor could be more weathered, but it is cool as it is as well

[@seanrydell112]

this series is like when an anime takes time to get to know the other party members and i like the vibes alot

[@euansmith3699]

That underwater spore-mine is a great idea.

[@walkerharmer-perrin4889]

Most epic thing in warhammer KZbin at the moment

[@Project._-.1222-b2s]

Lucas should have his own KZbin channel this is such a great vid

[@matt80one]

Looking Awesome so far!!! also Pistachio nuts make cool tyranid eggs

[@seanmcbride8]

This is rivaling anything GW has done for its dioramas. Great work.

[@Siege181]

Hope the kids feel better soon! Can’t wait to see the finished diorama, you chaps are a great inspiration for us all

[@TheMichaellathrop]

I'm wondering if you could get the glow in the big egg to look more generalized by back painting it with one of the many liquid chrome paints after the orange ink.

[@linkerss]

What an awesome job, this will be epic! Just a pointer on 0:39, keep in mind water wants to stay level, so between the pond and the cave since the two are connected they would not be at different levels but rather level out, which would likely flood the cave if you have that much water in the pond. Not sure how realistic you want to be considering we have giant space ships, aliens and smurfs with space suits and laser guns but just FYI :) keep up the good work

[@SkolvanTokyo]

This. Like the whole spacemarine body and half of the big egg will end up under water.

[@Lordmuhkuh23]

Unless the entire cave would be sealed airtight. I don't know if these eggs would need some air for hatching tho :D

[@Mexou_life]

Lucas made a awesome job with the diorama there

[@SpontaneousSquiggle]

Spectacular work, every one of these Project Manta videos is a treat to watch come together!

[@StormBreaker539]

The channel has gone from one brilliant artist… to three!

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

The chamber looks amazing!! Also well done Lucas. I should have mentioned this earlier - there are now WIRELESS LEDs that are powered by a coil (same tech as wireless phone charging). I believe range is around 8-10 centimeters and would easily pass through the foam.

[@NewGunBunny]

This is some awesomely amazing stuff. I love Dioramas of every shape and size. Am I the only one thinking "Tyranids don't work that way" through the entire episode?

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

This is awesome. Really enjoying that you have the whole crew in more videos. This project is coming along magnificently. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.

[@elliothalsall699]

cool to see Lucas taking center stage. great vid as always.

[@Dbars19]

I think a decked out custom game table in a theme would be so cool.

[@TheHorreK2]

The fact that its only part of this gigantic diorama... it would already be perfect on its own

[@linfordhb1464]

Great work Lucas and Emil

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Squid and the Arctic Boy's , From one of the island boys . 🐺

[@elphantasmo24]

Awesome video guys - I'm loving how the different sections of the diorama are coming together! Those Epic Basing's rock formation 3D prints work really well as stalactites!

[@benriley6716]

Fantastic work! Really looking forward to seeing the whole project finished. With the cave, maybe add some lighting to give it a bit of color?

[@sellindatlc]

This was such a cool project that i had to show my appreciation. I normally don’t comment on videos so this comment says something about the video. Keep up the great work everyone!!!

[@Stevie28]

Man I love Lucas painting style. Really awesome!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Me too!

[@Jh9801]

Loved seeing Lucas and all his imaginative ideas. Keep up the great work guys

[@harazhangf5782]

Awesome !!! That cave is fabulous !!!

[@watermelo3259]

Hi squidmar it would be wonderful if you start a series with tutorials from begginer to advanced Andrzej you can also ad some interesting tricks to every viedeo such as scales texture etc

[@Ihopeyourgood2015]

Its really coming to life now look like a dark alien cave 👍👍

[@hacknslashcrafts]

What a beauty. Love the production quality - there is enough detail to learn from, but just a pleasure to sit back and watch it come together.

[@klinktastic]

Its crazy you guys spend a week and can condense it down to 15 minutes. Well done.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Make it 2😅

[@CaptainBravo_o]

We gonna need a battle report on this. Collaboration with play on tabletop for 40k in 40 minutes or kill team maybe?

[@johncasey9268]

You do some amazing work. Have you ever considered do a charity event like a Painting marathon as in 26 models in 26 hours

[@superork26]

Beautiful piece, but also the video production quality is amazing!

[@SteefPip]

I get really excited whenever you guys drop a new video on this. Love the progress, love the channel.

[@godmode9913]

I love watching these videos, you should defo do more in the future. I would watch longer videos to it's kind of relaxing watching all the creativity.

[@guille787]

These videos bring me so much peace

[@katarzyna_p]

Amazing job! 👏 U do inspired me. I'ts one thing that I feel will pop up the cave- moist. On every cave is a lot od moist and it's dripping, that's how stalactites and stalagmites are formed.

[@niklasekelof7319]

Lucas is a real wizard at this...

[@basedViking]

I'm loving watching you and your friends build and paint projects keep up the awesome work guys!

[@bluegrade40]

this is sick cant wait for the finished build

[@supervike1]

The dude saying 'success' made me laugh. Awesome work guys!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Nailed it

[@acs316]

Lucas painting tutorials when? Man needs his own channel, the color on his minis are amazing

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

He's got about 4 on this channel already :) he's part of the squid ar team

[@tombombadil9338]

[@Filmaker94]

Such an amazing job! I love being able to follow this project, such a stellar job!

[@OMGNINJAS-YO]

This project has been such an amazing process to watch. Thank you so much for the high-quality step-by-step breakdown. Also, some straight bangers in this video, went and added a few to my playlist :)

[@reforgedcriterion1471]

Fantastic as always. But get that metal spatula away from your resin printers!!! Use a flat razor window scraper (what you use to scrape paint off glass) to get under the edge of your print, then use your plastic spatula to push under the lip and your part will pop right off. Never gouge your build plate again! Most of the time I can pop my prints right off with a little light twisting of the razor. Just never use force, and never put any part of your body in front of it. Always use tools in a controlled manner. If it doesn't work, come at it from another angle and work around the outside. They also make plastic razors for this that are thin enough to push under the brim.

[@manlyhanley6178]

Please include a small necron tomb where they are slowly waking up from stasis

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

I love Squids! 🥰🐶

[@greglockton6246]

Wow!! Just wow!!

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

I love the smoke effect in the cave. Could you make some channels from the bottom to funnel the smoke through and into different areas of the diorama?

[@danuk459]

This was incredible, can't wait to see the rest of this project!

[@butler8045]

You are really good at drawing

[@stevepurdoms9457]

This is such a cool design good job

[@RobbyHughes238]

May that space marine rest in piece

[@moggyd5822]

The amount of time and talent going into this build is amazing! Also, who did Lukas' fish tattoos? They look great.
