This project took me TWO YEARS to complete - Spooky forest Warhammer build

We all have these projects on our shelves that we started building but got scared of painting because we didn't know where to start. This Spider Goblin from Age of Sigmar, Warhammer have been on my shelf for pretty much exactly two years and i finally got to finishing it. Here's how it went down.

do you varnish your models when they are done?

Are their noses double use? 😂🤣😂🤣😂

@@MrDaanram I really would love these sculpts but their noses fall a bit flaccid for me

Hello Sir, i am searching for a miniature/scale model, i don't want to start collecting or playing tabletop, so i don't know what to search for or if there are even sellers for what i like... Mostly i am interested in Sci-Fi Models, or a mixture from Arachnids and Cyborgs or like Starshiptrooper Bugs or Tyranids... But they should be bigger than ... lets say "a fist" ... Any Tipps would be very appreciated!

[@35Danconn]

13:07 The third hand sliding across the top of the screen genuinely freaked me out.

[@Winterydee]

I'm guessing that it was either one of his children's hands visiting their dad at work or his wife. Nothing to really freakout about.

[@35Danconn]

@@Winterydee thanks. I've taken some time and calmed myself.

[@CubusMaximus]

@@Winterydee with that skill he is for sure blessed by the dark goods with a third hand. that would explain everything....

[@ArtJeremiah]

😂

[@iRDaBrit]

Thank God! I wasn't the only one that really got freaked out by this.

[@sebastiang.5032]

The addition of the spider serum really made this pop even more. Great work.

[@adammyslim4504]

everything is so perfect that the droplets of glue on the web stand out so much

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Spider Spider, burning bright, in the forest of the night

[@netmaster88]

I can't believe you painted this 1 year ago. Your talents are off the charts! It probably would have been a major pain in the butt however I think I would have moved the pride and trees it's on forward 1 inch to the foreground and put the goblin behind the spider so there would be no chance people would think the spider is about to eat the goblin. All that said I have to say this is my favorite model I've seen you paint. 😀 great job!!

[@-Diop-]

The lil chaman gives me a christmas vibe, maybe because the colour of the hat, maybe because im obssesed with going on a holiday

[@ItsTh4tGuy]

Hey Emil, I just wanted to say you've inspired my painting for a while now I had a school project I had to complete which will help me get into University. I decided on painting a diorama based around the deathwatch, and used as many of your tips as I possibly could 🤣. I completed the project and got an A, meaning I have a chance ag getting into my top University! Thank you so much for everything you do, you're an exceptional painter and always giving me new ideas like in this video! Not sure if you'll see this, but I just wanted to say thank you so much!!! From Guy

[@baku2575]

Did you get in to your university of choice.

[@mihael1148]

Everything's looking amazingly great, but I just have to say - That's the saddest web ever. Nice contrast though, lol.

[@googleisadick]

Yeah, with the serum though it's not bad. Should have just re-filmed the B-roll with it. Incredible though, seriously. 10/10

[@carrot5610]

yeah it looks incredible but the size of the web would barely suite the smaller spiders his goblins are riding lmao

[@HolyMith]

Agreed, the serum hid the glue blobs and thread though. He did a better job than i couldever hope to do, but on its own the web wasn't great. With the serum, and maybe holding back a bit with the serum on other parts of the base, it looked amazing.

[@mystrangebrain9240]

It’s so cool and scary at the same time.

[@1st-Law]

Beat me by 4 seconds

[@perrygrosshans8537]

Duuuuuuuuuuude. That spider is NEXT LEVEL! My favourite part is probably not even what you think: painting those LEAVES. That looks so awesome! Totally punches up those plastic bits. Wow. SO nice. Great painting as usual. Really makes me want to get an airbrush, lol. I have one of those Anaroch spiders myself, sitting...unpainted...unloved for like over 3+ years. Sigh. But i've recently got back into painting minis and will probably tackle it soon! Although not with as much fanciness as you, heh. I also have a pretty nice forest goblin army - managed to get a great set of the old school 6th edition metals a few years back. Also, the base is amazing, and thanks for running through on how to make it. Might have to do something similar. Thanks for another fun vid!

[@fishstrats960]

Man, those goblin sculpts are amazing!

[@grud8495]

It's gorgeous! The base is the most impressive to me, they way you combined the greens and browns looks soooooooooooo good!

[@nerdicinspiration3522]

The base is my favorite part of this build - so beautiful! I am a sucker for vibrant colors so I will definitely try that technique

[@AzraelThanatos]

You can normally get a more eerie looking spiderweb by ditching the main plans, go grab some used dryer sheets and stretch them out with glue to attach it.

[@SebastianMiniatures27]

Wow! This is by far my favorite video of yours, it was such a treat to watch you work on a small mini, a big mini, do terrain and basing, all in one video with so much bravery and passion!

[@scott238colin]

That’s about the average time it takes me to complete any of my miniatures...

[@crowdemon_archives]

My Lord of Change says "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

[@tweedle634]

its how long it took for me to finish a 5 man primaris squad

[@HolyMith]

Just took me a month to finish a tau commander, painting an hour or so every night. Good job I love this hobby so much, I wouldn't have the patience otherwise!

[@mustangmkii8349]

These are my favorite type of videos you make. Straight begging to end process on a project your excited about. They always seem more educational and your energy for the piece is contagious. Thank for the great video! Really inspirational.

[@curtismosser2197]

Absolutely amazing,lol this is EXACTLY the kind stuff that keeps my passion for minis burning.

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

Wow, just Wow. The absolute love and attention to detail you've put into this is on it's very own level far above and beyond...

[@TheMrmikelwall]

I very recently decided I wanted to start playing Warhammer. When I was searching to find what army I wanted to start collecting, I found the Gloomspite Gits in Age of Sigmar and absolutely loved them. The very first Warhammer model that I bought was the Arachnarok Spider with the Web Spinner Shaman. I am almost finished painting it and I love watching your videos while I paint. So when I saw that you made this video I was so thrilled to see what you did with the model. You most certainly did not disappoint! I love your videos and I’m a big fan of the channel ❤️

[@TheMrmikelwall]

And I also just backed the Kickstarter from TKS. I can’t wait to get some awesome lil gobbos!

[@marcinstangel9277]

That is an amazing end result. Absolutely worth spending so much time on it.

[@minimishapsgames894]

Huzzah for going back and hitting long-waiting projects. The whole scene looks incredible, thanks for sharing!

[@Anilithun]

This looks so amazing! Every time i look at one of your vids i breathe fire into my childhood passion for painting figurines. Thank you so much

[@jehifferdavidguirigaimaldo6124]

You can tell how much love you had for this project, is beautiful

[@tleavey87]

I can’t help but think of Christmas theme when I see red and green together. But in the end when there are so many other colors happening as well, it no longer looks like a Christmas set. Loved the paint techniques on the base-first time setting that! The whole thing turned out amazing.

[@ThelemicMagick]

What an absolutely mesmerizing and magickal paint job! Congrats and thanks for the upload!

[@EricHonaker]

Wow, great work! The end result was pretty impressive. I liked the painterly, expressive way you used color on the base. I've been getting more interested in that sort of non-representational use of color on minis lately.

[@dkroondijk]

this is so good, amazing work. Love how vibrant all the highlights are. Making me want to start an AOS Gitz army.

[@davidfortin6437]

Amazing work Emil, congrats on gathering the courage to finish this long due project.

[@ProrokLebioda]

Finally you painted this mini! I was hooked when I saw it unpainted.

[@davinci3259]

The spider serum is really something else. I have a bottle of it, but have barely used any outside of testing. Definitely better when there is a structure for it to grab onto.

[@Patrick-bu2uh]

I hate spiders but love this video. Honestly, your enthusiasm here is infectious!

[@gizzmoe8739]

Absolute amazing work. Great color mix

[@edpistemic]

My Squidmar paint brushes arrived! They are really going to inject a big burst of much needed energy into my painting hobby! Thank you!

[@danielryan6466]

That is absolutely exceptional, great work.

[@skull9674]

Extraordinary. Beautiful diorama.

[@Ruikesan]

That spider model is really cool. I think it'd be a perfect candidate for iridescent paint.

[@knightterrain6936]

I Love goblins! I can not wait to do a goblin themed terrain build. Love your work!

[@AVspectre]

I first read that as Goblin themed TRAIN build, and now I’m going to have a hard time getting that out of my mind... :)

Damn Emil, this is amazing. 2 years well worth it for sure!

[@stepan.tichyy]

Emil, this miniature is amazing. And your editing and music choices are better and better. Thanks for the video!

[@mai2015]

I had this video on in the background whilst I painted and I looked away for like five mins whist Emil painted the spider and when I looked back it was incredible.... Immediately restarted the vid to watch with my full attention this looked so cool!!!!!!!!!

[@leoncarniel4542]

This is propably the collest Modell i have ever seen. Pls keep that work up, it is so nice to just watch you create Art.

[@andywilson5828]

As a kid, I used to make radio wires on my model aircraft by melting sprues. You can get some really organic looking threads. Worth a practice.... And saves wasting sprues

[@EyeCanShootFL]

LOVE that spider, but like the white one even more that you showed briefly!

I'm always baffled on how you can get all the colors just right! Amazing work on the whole composition!

[@andreimartin1478]

OMG If been following you since a lot, and that probably for me the best mini's you've ever made !!! Everything is just beautiful!! Thanks for your work and your vid. I'm waiting for the next one with anxiety!!!

[@zEnergizeh]

This look incredible, love the end result !! I wouldn't feel confident using that many colours on the base but you managed to pull it off, just wing it!!

[@cutieowl347]

I think that cotton balls are also a good idea for adding a bit more stringiness to the thread spider web!

[@Hiltomatt]

This certainly had given me inspiration on my upcoming dive into this.

[@Anecron1]

Finally! A great tutorial for the Arachnarok! Let me get my popcorn and a notepad and... oh, airbrush again. Well, back in the box dear spidey. I'll see you again when the kids have moved out.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Why? :) you can have an airbrush and kids, they are not exclusive :P

[@Anecron1]

@@SquidmarMiniatures You can, but to use the airbrush while they are awake you need a babysitter and a locked door, and to use the compressor while they are asleep you need a basement, garage or soundproof room. Then of course, you need space to lock it away while not in use otherwise the 3yo will try it out on the walls and the 1yo will eat all the paint. But plz feel free to prove me wrong. Tell your wife that you will watch the kids for 2 hours and paint 10 spiderriders with the kids in sight and your youngest on your lap. I have no doubt it will be your most watched video ever!
