19:29 - This swing around shot, so great.

[@codyott1982]

No idea why I can't comment myself, but I started with blood angels. The first mini I ever painted was a blood angel, and the older models were much harder to paint with more details.... Your timeframe might make it hard, but other than that I'm almost convinced blood angels are one of the easiest armies to paint.

[@gamedude412]

Fun tip if you don’t wanna use putty to mask three layers of hairspray/heavy chipping fluid is usually enough to act as a mask

[@chandlermorris1]

Where in the game can I enter the code?

[@loltwest9423]

I think the most encouraging thing about this for me is that the blends aren't this stupid smooth thing that takes hours to do. You can see the brush strokes, the individual layers painted on there, the scratchiness and yet, it looks wonderful. It works so perfectly. This has the vibe of "don't overthink how to do the smoothest gradient ever or waste your time for hours on end. Just do it. Just paint the minis, trust yourself, and you can do it." Thank you, Lucas and thank you Squidmar.

[@beanboy1107]

i think that mostly come from his experience/talent personally i just started and i can only dream of doing that

[@Peanutz75]

My sweet summer child.... those brushstrokes are placed to perfection and the contrast is made by someone understanding light.... having smooth transitions is the only way us mortals can achieve something they don't feel odd

[@loltwest9423]

@@Peanutz75 It’s still far more achievable and less time consuming than other methods I’ve seen. Plus, I’ve gotten fairly accustomed to lighting and painting reflections. As someone who’s fairly experienced, I’m definitely going to start giving this a try.

[@trisbane4086]

@@beanboy1107 Guys, space marines, when you break down their geometric shapes into their simplest form, are just a bunch of cylinders and spheres. You can look up how light affects these and you're good to go.

[@PeterResponsible]

One of the artists from Kimera / Pegaso models said "I've spent half my career hiding my brushstrokes, now I'm spending the other half making brushstrokes visible again". And it's so true. Sergio Calvo or Marc Masclans for example are such great artists and they are using visible brushstrokes to create extra textures that bump the total effect of a mini even higher.

[@GoodEggGuy]

The pole-dancing dreadnaught is amazing. Would love to see the look on your opponents' faces in the competition!

[@bassplur12]

IM probably going to get hate for this but i loved everything except for that! I don't know i just don't like the way it looks and the angle that it is at plus i keep thinking there is no way that the dreadnaught wouldn't snap that tree in half once he put his weight on it LOL!! Genuinely not trying to hate because its better then what i can do and it is freaking amazing its just i don't like how the dreadnaught is set up is all!

[@Battouga]

@@bassplur12 No hate here, I agree. The DN looks like a monkey or an ape. The paintjob is amazing but I can't take it seriously.

[@Svartig4ldur]

Ah, a great example of what I've been telling people for ages now... Blending doesn't matter if you paint your light the right way ;) Thanks for the great video!

[@RobbieB2606]

Insane. Shout out to the dreadnought - Brother Tarzan

[@frenaris]

Brother Tarzan ahahahah

[@hectordejesus9194]

Oh no I just saw the comment after I posted. I said the same thing and called him Venerable Brother Tarzan

[@gazguhltraka]

Shout out to the tree. Fucking beast of a dead tree.

[@chkminis]

The Dread doing pole dance kills me! Amazing job, man-effectiveness at its highest point!

[@marcopolo9549]

Lucas, once again you remind me as to why you’re my favourite wargamer painter. You’re inspired and encouraged me to try out daunting techniques. It would be incredibly interesting to see your take on both the Eldar and Tyranids - please consider this for future projects. Thank you for producing top tier quality free content. 😌

[@briansalloum9259]

Lucas always painting some cool stuff. these are so dope

[@hyosworld109]

Did you guys know Lukas used to paint minis in a cupboard under the stairs before he got his letter from Squidwarts?

[@gonran4661]

19:29 the mighty ancestor poll dance!

[@UltimateDeathWorship]

Just primed intercessors squad with Mephiston Red. So, what kind of painting difficulties you are talking about, HORUS?!

[@dalekilpatrick6456]

These look awesome mate, I'd love to see more Blood Angels as you continue your collection.

[@adamjohansson6943]

Snyggt! Älskar dina hoppande dreadnoughts. Ska bli kul att se dem live nästa helg.

[@BeeptheLesser]

That Dreadnought has some serious King Kong Energy!?

[@TheJo4an]

Ook.

[@RoyalPhoenix2015]

Awesome seeing BA. Dante and the BA are what got me into Warhammer, and this channel is what got me into painting and eventually the tabletop. I’m def taking notes for this one

[@kingkonstad]

Look great! Those bases are absolute class when paired with the red armor. They really pop.

[@blackfalcon53]

@0:55 those paint jobs are so good for a 10yr old! You must had a lot of skill and practise even then

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

Cam we take a minute to shine a light on how AMAZING that Dreadnought pose is.

[@willvincent4829]

I love how you dropped this as I'm just finishing the first 5 DC jump intercessors from my boxset

[@stevenmcgrath5114]

Love all the dynamic poses, WOW ! ! !

[@francoismarion-eu3jq]

Red is super easy to paint imo.

[@stankshop]

On behalf of Steve's, it wasnt us. It was Alan.

[@atron62]

The posing and the paint is next level, great job

[@chriswendlandt2917]

Just wanted to say the way you based the mech suit is awesome. Best basing job I have seen.

[@takogames9552]

Exactly the army I wanted to begin with! Awesome video!

[@LeftHandEats]

Same!

[@stewarts8597]

Always inspiring to watch your vids. Amazing set

[@Nortonius_]

Incredible overall Amazing bases! Mind-blowing vines!!!

[@TheFishy82]

THOSE ARE FLESH TEARERS LUKAS!

[@Rve783]

I’m planning on a Blood Angels army soon. Definitely following this guide. Especially with my Squidmar paints!

[@thehivemind-uz7vm]

Luca's work is what I dream to be able to complete in 6 months

[@davidmarriaga2672]

Amazing job! I really like the red here and will definitely try to do your recipe justice when I finally tackle the painting on my BAs. Chefs kiss and hope you got a cookie out of this

[@ARMSMASH]

It's acutlly awesome I have been painting my blood angels like this for years, Wonderful job. I did stray away from games workshops sceme a little by dsoing non metalic gold on the shoulders and chest.

[@realjabroni3830]

Yes! Im bored at work and needed this video!!! Also thanks for getting me into Warhammer miniatures.

[@Linkowiezi]

Yup, yup, Lukas deserves some cookies, [Like] button *smashed*. Frekkin' Amazing job Lukas!

[@ryanb8821]

I both love and hate watching these. So so good! Almost too good. These look amazing! I really need to learn how to paint properly 😂😂

[@pardoe17789]

Love the great ape energy the dreadnaught is putting out. Swinging through the trees to crush some skulls.

[@Colonel_Tyborc]

Dread ape incoming

[@TheLongVigil]

In the grim darkness of the far future, we return to Monke

[@stevo_hobbies]

Fantastic work on these! The basing is incredible!

[@robspracklin261]

Those bases are sick.. But that colour scheme for the Blood Angels... Fricken' beauty.

[@chadfontaine2717]

Love that painterly look!!! 11/10

[@TheGadock]

Free hand painting those circular saws is insane, you're like spongebob making that circle so perfect :P

[@carlstanford7607]

The video we have been waiting for! Nice

[@djsuter4410]

The poses! So good!

[@flyingdutchman5583]

Super Awesome - great job Lucas!

[@TheCorpseEmperor40k]

From this high rock, from this peak, the light of your great work of art has shun so that I have seen it from my Golden Throne! Truly a work of art worthy of the great angels worship, great video and keep up your faithful patronage to my most coveted doctrine, “The Rule of Cool!” For tacticians united in the purpose of the Corpse Emperor are blessed in my sight and shall forever live in my memory!

[@thomasbraden8242]

Awesome paint job but those bases though, those are amazing! Great job as usual but the bases ❤❤❤❤

[@zaynevanday142]

Lucas the Legend 🔥

[@volkerwoll5008]

I love the poledancing Dreadnought! 😃

[@bp_challender]

Blood Angels and Lukas , it can’t get much better than this 🙏🏽. Don’t worry Emil I love you very much but, Lukas deserves to get his cookies while he can still eat them 😂

[@greyshadedminis]

Fantastic painting and the bases incredible 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Painsjustice]

i just started blood angels aswell and this video was such a joy to watch. Would love to see more of them!

[@FunMushizzle]

Stunning work mate!

[@JamesEarlCash]

I really enjoy those types of videos! Gonna try painting my Ynnari army in similiar style (after all, they are red and black too!)

[@MatthewHardy-q4l]

Y'all really need to start including the music in the descriptions. I've had to painstakingly find so many bangers at this point. Make my life easier, please.

[@joshuahorchler644]

Great video guys!!!

[@allenfitness3895]

Wow what a coincidence. I just today got this box set. That’s awesome. Great timing!

[@xxSeanVxx]

That dreadnought pose is so dynamic. I had no idea they could actually move like that 😅

[@Bigben154]

I'm so glad y'all made this video! I just got started this hobby and I already have a 1,000 point BA army and I'm starting to paint them now. I also just got a Death Company squad and made my own Lucien from Tacticus.

[@KhorneliusPraxxGames]

All beautiful but that black armor with red shoulders really called to me...absolutely brilliant.

[@DaneInTheUS]

They look amazing!

[@Njofrekk]

Cheers for the Tacticus code, boys! Love the video!

[@Latarius]

I truly love how you worked on your army and how those bases makes the minis pop up so much! What brand are the plastic plants? Also have you ever made agriworld bases in one of your other videos? I'm starting a Knight army and I would have loved to make it more medieval on an agriworld withs crops/field

[@ilferrodisupo7776]

Yes!!! Red is very tecnic colour,the best for paint this color is use a solid scheme for any part of the paint,and the power of red more than blue is have various shade e tonalities of this color. Nice video.

[@stefanformgren4978]

that was a really strong tree holding up that big swinging dreadnaught 😂

[@GarrettPDGA]

Contrast in your background really makes colors pop! Also, layering red to a red adjacent helps too!

[@frenaris]

Perfect timing for this video as I'm about to start building my box!

[@kipesh307]

Bruh, how is it even possible? Did you trade your soul for that skill? I can't event imagine what steps to do to make it any near to your results. Insane 🤯

[@francoisbrinck-boucher183]

Lucas is funny as hell! (and you guys are really talented)

[@Sven-m5d]

Learn a lot, since I follow your Channel.....get it on Dudes..... Thanks and greetings from Mönchengladbach/ Germany...

[@TheTillinger123]

the second Emil showed up like some regional manager i knew a commercial was coming

[@dustycarr8523]

I get anxiety doing helmet lenses and this dude just kills it so easy lol. These minis are rad

[@thomaswhite3500]

New watcher here! And I love the videos

[@Blujin]

Damn, that's not a tree from earth to hold the full weight of a dreadnought ! Great job as usual :)

[@klug5916]

"What sanity, Lukas?" Actually a very interesting question. Good one, Emil, good one. One chocolate cookie for him if he brings an answer on the next video! ^^

[@chriskerr32]

I am just restarting so many blood Angels with the new codex this is an amazing starting place

[@ZainNL]

The entire time I was like, nice.. Then I saw the DC Dread and went no way! Cool stuff :D

[@pavma7]

so happy to have more fleshtearers painting guides

[@nicholastorgerson125]

This and the Squiddly Bits video are really pushing me to change my Aeldari color scheme to the classic red/black. These look so sick!

[@HORIZONHUNT]

Sick Styleeeee🤙⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@singedtodeath]

So I think one thing I would have liked to see during all of these steps is a static image or model being rotated to show how each of the steps you are taking become more obvious to us. We only get to see how the model is changing when its in your hand as you are actually painting it, if you gave us images or showed the model after each step I think it would further drive home not only the impact of the changes but how they really begin to take shape and show what you are working to achieve, it allows us as viewers to stop the video and really dissect all those small changes especially with the highlighting. Love the videos guys

[@TheSaltyCarrot]

Ok, this video made me pull the trigger on the paint set, so far I've mostly just used armypainters speedpaint but I want to improve and recently picked up a wet pallete. gonna be interesting to see how well or bad i can manage :D

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

This was so good, I watched it twice. I learned a heap of useful stuff, but I think I'll keep using true metallic paints. I'm just not ready for non-metallic metal yet. Thanks for sharing!

[@harald2101]

awesome. the video i was looking for!

[@Yndifall]

God damn, Lukas can paint. Good job brother.

[@cerisekappes580]

Gorgeous army!!! 😊

[@Sceptres]

Another Lukas special, Unbelievable. Can we have a Grey Knight squidmar video at some point. Would love to see how you tackle the silver.

[@mattiasgamin3891]

Excellent stuff!

[@therewithdave]

Awesome paint job

[@---iw5gj]

I think it isn't red Yellow is the horror And blood angels isn't most difficult army to paint cause it is big primaris Thanks for video!

[@raef1240]

That Dread looks like he’s having the best time! 😂

[@nicholasmattiello8959]

I'm building the dread while watching you build the dread :D

[@morktariondagreat3446]

Ahhh... Exactly what I needed.

[@ronman279]

That Dreadnought is awesome and the pose is epic but spinning it looks wrong 😂

[@stevehiggins1263]

The paint scheme looks really decent, i especially like the contrast between the shadow's and highlights on the red. My only concern is how god damn strong is that tree if a 10 ton dreadnought can swing from it lol.😂

[@gmpbuilder]

LOL Get out the old smoke machine for the Grand Reveal. Love your videos.

[@Varis78]

These are so sick. That red looks good enough to be candy. lol

[@9daywonda]

Really like the tree thingys.

[@garethbarnwell8113]

Angels of Death.... Love it

[@jmswillow5969]

Awesome. You paint red how I do.Same with flesh. Funny as well in tournaments I didn't win a lot but would get best painted or best army. I always wanted to try airbrushing. Huge modkes like in privateer press woud take me forever to blend.

[@linkerss]

Give this man some cookies, he deserves it

[@henrikwannheden7114]

"Maybier" is the best I-don't-know-what-it-is I've heard all day :)
