Hear me out: Do this again with Necrons, but paint in REVERSE on the outside of the resin block to make it look like some kind of assembly/portal line.
Yea it turns out fkn badass when done, it looks so cool! People have been doing that for over a decade now and they do some insane sht using that effect it creates when u do it since your looking thru the thick resin to a picture on the back side.
As a Steve I both take offense and also admit I do overthink 😂 the effect is really cool an angled entrance on the top of a pyramid making it look like it goes underground would be cool too
I think with the weather being what it is right now , the coolest of content from Emil is much appreciated. Thank you for the wonderful expedition into the cold :)
That is a very neat terrain piece. Only note I'd have, and I don't even know if this is possible, but feel like the infinite effect would've been better if it was angled slightly downward, so that the hall of specimens extended at a slope downward into the planet, since right now it makes the hallway look longer than the hill itself.
Such an awesome idea, looks great. I'd love to try this with some Necrons in a stasis crypt, and have this endless tomb just filled with warriors, there's so many possibilities.
Could you please show us your Gloomspite Gitz Army? It looks so freaking nice with all the colours and maybe a tutorial on how you paint them? Also your gaming table from almost a year ago, we need progress, it was the coolest idea ever Love from germany bro
Offtopic… I really enjoy all the music you play along your videos! I think you‘re making an awesome job on your video editing and song selection! Keep it up 🎶
Congratulations and great pick on getting Richard A Knaak!! I grew up reading his novels, and short stories, and was always my fav. He is going to kill this!😎👍
@@SquidmarMiniatures you guys are great, you deserve it. I’m happy for you.😉✌️ my question now is what are you guys gonna do with all that money and groupies?😅
🤟🎶I won't be coming home I won't be going anywhere I will guard this post forever Here on the alpine slope, where I did my final stand, I shall remain Among the ice and snow that binds me to this mountain 🎶🤟
Another possibility instead of a clear varnish or polishing the resin to increase visibility would be a layer of clear packing tape. I don't have any specific experience with using it on a resin surface but I know clear tape will usually give clear vision if applied to frosted glass- I believe that the adhesive fills in the textured surface and the clear tape gives a smooth viewing surface.
I believe if you use the spray can from far enough away the propellant should evaporate before hitting the styrofoam, just a tip in case you don’t want to use the flour, salt, and pva mix.
Using this method would make an amazing diorama with Cawl standining in his lab's stasis pod storage area, gazing over the Primaris marines that are yet to be released into the galaxy
So I love the look of old practice sci-fi and fantasy VFX and your intro got me thinking when doing this sort of terrain piece what about making the back either totally flat or a parabolic curve, and then having a mat painting to marry up to that shape? You could have used that effect to make it look like this rocky outcropping was actually was a part of an actual mountain, or you could use it make a fortification look like there is an actual city being guarded, or behind your oasis there could be an endless desert.
I doubt you are going to see this, but a lot of people who use that use Vaseline to keep it from sticking to the surfaces as well as fingers or tools they used to work with it. Don't know if you guys have it where you're at but as an option you can use that as well instead of water.
Instead of an icy vault do a glowy green forcefield vault, a tesseract vault, Trazyn the infinite stood outside looking down into his infinite collection hall.
If anyone watches tabletop time this would fit in great with hive fleet jotunn, a hive fleet trapped in ice emerging into a world EDIT: IM GONNA DO A TRAZYN DIORAMA WITH THIS
For some reason, say a space marine gets encased in water and flash frozen. Would they survive? With their life support systems and air tight seals in their armor, would they just be super stuck but alive?
Could give it a rule where a squad who goes into the chamber with missing members can roll dice and if they get a 5 or 6 they free a guy from the ice to aid in the battle
Great vid and awesome work! Something a bit random... what about that giant city diorama you started building last year for mordheim I think? It seemed really interesting! Would be great if you returned to it sometime in the future!
Am i the only one that would set up 5 or 6 space marines in a row to see it become a whole legion within the mirror, kinda making a city parade with hundreds of them? Just me. (I would also do this with my custom marines)
Fantastic Build. I wonder if you moved the mirror from behind and in front the blocks of resin, and instead lined them up so the edge of the mirror was on the front side / between of the faces (in the same orientation, so you'd have to cut the mirror smaller) but if you had both mirrors sandwich between the blocks of resin instead of in front and behind then i think you could get rid of that Gap between the blocks of ice in the reflections.
Very cool build but I wish we could have seen down the tunnel/inside a bit more. Neat idea but can't really see any of the work other then rocky terrain

Cool idea ❤

Awesome idea, I hope they do it. Although it's worth noting they probably wouldn't need to do anything with resin, just have the mirror trick
I wonder if you could orient the mirrors so that it looks like the tunnel descends into the floor. Awesome.
Great diorama!
Would be awesome to see something like that with a necron tombworld!
Dude!!!
You could make a playing board with a bunch of them as side panels, objectives, or bottomless pits, all lined by sleeping necrons. I love it.
As a Steve I both take offense and also admit I do overthink 😂

Same opinion
This is one of the Coolest Dioramas I have ever seen
lol it's cool but nothing special, if this is the coolest you've seen, like ever.... you have seen nothing lol
more tyranid content, i hope we can get a kitbash on a massive tranid thing, this is the perfect time considering it is the main 10th edition army
Somewhere out there, Steve was having a really great Friday until watching this a few minutes ago. Now he’s going to go drink himself to sleep
hahah rip steve
I don't know why Emil felt the need to do me dirty like that 😂
@@Icegl0widk man. He was pretty passionate. You probably deserved it lol
I’m sure that when Squidmar was born his first words after coming out of the womb were “I’m here for the grand reveal”.
I think that's what his mother said before he got into the world. Maybe the great reveal runs in the family.
please don't hate me.
Right after his birth, his mother said "Omg its the size of a WARLORD TITAAAANNN!!!"
I’m new to the world of miniatures and I’m constantly blown away by the art in this community 🤩 no shortage of inspiration!
I Especially Love How It Ingeniously Makes a Small Diorama So Much More Expansive

I like the non-euclidean space. Makes it look like Tzeentch got to them and decided to fuck with reality
Such an awesome idea, looks great.
I'd love to try this with some Necrons in a stasis crypt, and have this endless tomb just filled with warriors, there's so many possibilities.
The Jurassic Park Flipper! My Childhood Dream.
This effect would make an awesome Necron Tomb terrain piece
As a man named Steve... bro you did me dirty 😂 I'll go put myself in a corner again thanks Emil.
Steve, you're ok. Sorry i had a bad day.

Impressive you got Knaak to write the novel! I loved his Dragonlance books back in the days.
So this is one of those projects done “because I can” ;) looking good!

"Not the dumbest thing I've heard today..."

Literally no one........
Emil "You're right we need to pour resin!"
😂😂😂
More resin next week?
LOVE Tamiya putty, I use it pretty exclusively
I like that they dont hold back, love to see them do some thing with Blackmagiccrafts
Freezing, can't move at all
Screaming, can't hear my call
I, I'm dying to live
Cry out
I'm trapped under ice
Now THIS is Requiem
Using this method would make an amazing diorama with Cawl standining in his lab's stasis pod storage area, gazing over the Primaris marines that are yet to be released into the galaxy
That insult felt personal 😮😂
The music in the background is on point as always.
another awesome video. love you guys, but every time I see the notification and its not the finale of the warlord titans I cry a little
Haha You guys are the most entertaining to watch - also, poor Steve, he’s doing his best
as someone (named steve) who has been overthinking my army paint scheme for a while now, 7:30 hit me right in the feels😭
Cool stuff!
I really love this idea. It would be cool to see something like a test tube cloning factory like this
This would be really cool, but the only thing I'm thinking of is a doorway on a generational ship with lines of cryopods
Please give playlists of the music. It's as well chosen as your movies. I love it :)
Could you put the music you use in the description please? It's always on point 👌
probably the best squidmar video i have ever seen

Yooo its the space wolf from one of your old videos! What a callback!

Awesome diorama and Steve get off Emiles last nerve lol
From Canada here, and you guys are awesome - Great talent, better friendship lol funny stuff
Instead of an icy vault do a glowy green forcefield vault, a tesseract vault, Trazyn the infinite stood outside looking down into his infinite collection hall.
Ok, this is REALLY cool and would make a great terrain piece for a game based on it's size!
If you liked the Extra Fast, the Tamiya Epoxy Smooth type will blow your mind
For your next big one after the Waaaaarlooooooord Titaaaaaans you should do Trayzan's library based off The Infinite and The Divine/War in the Library
Mix tamia putty with green stuff for the best of both words.
Emil loves that teal
Congrats on Sona.
So when do we see a tabletop game tie-in?
Add it to the list of dioramas I want to do but probably will never get around to!
Coat pink foam with latex paint to protect it from rattle can paint
.. Imagine having a playable table full with terrain like this..
Wow, I feel very attacked right now but my pile of unpainted terrain tells me you're on to something...
Currently working on a forest terrain for my warhamme r40k games, and this got me pumped to finish it and start a snow/ice one!
This would look so good for a magic /demonic effect due to it being longer on in inside!
If anyone watches tabletop time this would fit in great with hive fleet jotunn, a hive fleet trapped in ice emerging into a world
EDIT: IM GONNA DO A TRAZYN DIORAMA WITH THIS
THEY NEED TO DO IT I WANT TO SEE IT
If you get the blue and yellow kneadite in tubes instead of the green stuff strips, they are not at all dried out.
I had really good experiences with grey stuff as well!
Should have been a necron tomb with necron warriors on both sides in a green glow.
I really feel like Liquitex gloss medium would've been an easier way to achieve the icicles - could be used on the inside too
That damn Steve!!!
Mind bowing as usual. You guys do amazing work.
Nice flockin’ work. 😆
Hey! I feel personally attacked 😂 Great work, looks cool… 👍
Trazyn the Infinite: "So THAT'S where I left my frozen collection of Space Marines and tyranids..."
MORE RESIN POURS!!!
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Hmm just had a thought. Maybe a Trazyn diorama showcasing his collection.
For some reason, say a space marine gets encased in water and flash frozen. Would they survive? With their life support systems and air tight seals in their armor, would they just be super stuck but alive?
Osick, would be cool to see an infinite corridor with creatures growing in tanks
Great choice of pizza! I love that one!
Could give it a rule where a squad who goes into the chamber with missing members can roll dice and if they get a 5 or 6 they free a guy from the ice to aid in the battle
Awesome as always!!!
I feel so attacked right now 😂
I got a bit carried away
@@SquidmarMiniatures ❤️
that's so cool
Ah, Trazen got his indomadus box set.
As a guy calld Steve I felt very attracted in this video, I know I bad at painting but Dame I never know you guy felt like that
Might have to try this myself with some sleeping necrons instead
I really feel like Emil is speaking to me in this video ;)
Great vid and awesome work! Something a bit random... what about that giant city diorama you started building last year for mordheim I think? It seemed really interesting! Would be great if you returned to it sometime in the future!
Video's title was: "I just started building on the most insane gaming table- warhammer, dnd and mordheim"
Amazing! Great job!!
Am i the only one that would set up 5 or 6 space marines in a row to see it become a whole legion within the mirror, kinda making a city parade with hundreds of them? Just me. (I would also do this with my custom marines)
honestly closes thing we have seen to trazyns "zoo"/ gallary lol
LOL pulls out a brand new strike force Augustus box to make a marine trapped in ice.. oh the money
Yo another amazing project 🥳
Fantastic Build.

This is so cool! I wish I were this creative 😢
Amazing 😍
Very cool build but I wish we could have seen down the tunnel/inside a bit more. Neat idea but can't really see any of the work other then rocky terrain
Cant wait for the airbrush :D
Hmm, I dunno how it is up close, but the minis are hard to see. They could be anything.
