PLEASE paint these - You have created absolutely phenomenal sculpts and they truly deserve it. Would have loved to have seen this as a much longer video to be honest!
Lukas is truly a genius and an artist. He never ceases to amaze me. My favorite part of these 3 units is how he managed yo keep them all very similar in overall height despite the very different poses.
we love you luca, i think you should make the videos a bit longer or maybe split this video into 3 parts (15-20 minutes) specifically for these series but in general too, you are underselling your work, you have invested so much time into this sculptures and we barely see any of it. They dont have to be as quick pace as this one, they can be less edited too
Yeh this video definitely needed to be 5-10 mins longer to show more of the sculpting process. Too many UA-camrs seem to be stuck in the past when it comes to the UA-cam algorithm, it now prioritises longer videos rather than penalising them.
I love the idea that your SO would be weirded out by you looking up lots of photos of muscly dudes, but they’d be totally ok with finding a folder on your computer full of rat feet pics… ya know, for reference.
Maybe for future sculpting / kitbashing videos add a shot of the mini primed? When I kitbash it usually looks like a Frankenstein monster, but once primed it really ties it all together.
I loved everything but the Plasticard Bionic Legs I think adding some more clay into those would help blend those parts together better, maybe more tubing and hoses that looks like muscles, I feel like some carbon fiber muscles or something to fill in the gaps would help alot
It would be kinda sick to have some warpstone coming out of the beast moulder rat, as in lore that’s how skaven make such mutated beasts. A large crystal coming out of the shoulder or chest of the creature would be pretty rad!
Apoxie Sculpt tip: keep it in the freezer for a longer shelf life. The jars really do last for a long time if you’re not building something giant. However, I’ve found that they get really crusty and unusable after a year when stored at room temp. I usually pull mine from the freezer 30 mins before I need it, that gives it time to warm up and become workable again.
I'm leaving my dream, having all the amazing hobby channels feature more skaven (my army), but having Lucas specifically giving so much love to the rats, and putting together crazy good videos like this one... oh man, that's the cherry on top. One more like so we can get a video of Lucas painting the verminlords!
I'd love to see these guys painted up, especially with the Darth Maul-esque legs getting the wood texture. I have minimal sculpting skills, so seeing this play out was beyond phenomenal. Great work!
The out of the box vermin lord is so un-Skaven-ly it's terrible. What you've made from the box is absolutely incredible, I'd never have thought it possible. Very impressive.
Oh, I just did the same with the sylvan treeman for my oldworld woodelves. another incredibly useful box is the mortis engine, you get super cool bits from it. 3 vampiresses , 2 of which can be sculpted onto horses, 1 which is very fitting for a throne sculpt 3 dynamic banshees 1 necromancer in admittedly pretty basic posture, but fits well into old-world units and a ton of nice stuff i used for terrain
I started something similar with a chaos Helbrute, but the sculpting part of the process got in the way. It was definitely a skill issue. Love this project
What an amazing set of custon miniatures, congrats, Lukas! I agree with many other comments, would've loved to see a bit more of the actual sculpting process - you guys are totally elite but we rarely get to see the nitty-gritty of your work process anymore unless you do explicit tutorials. And you do such amazing work. Anyways, thanks a lot for inspiring the rest of us :)
Those minis are as always madly beautiful, great job. As a great fan of the skaven faction, i would love to see some warpstone technology thing added on the clan moulder one ! I think it would add even more definition and identity to the mini that is already very beautiful.
If you're going for the cheaper build thing, use cold porcelain instead of epoxy, it's just glue, water and corn starch with some lemon or vinegar to prevent bacteria and fungi, it's resistant, easy to deal with and the result is surprisingly similar. Use vaseline while sculpting
I don't have social media so I'll say it here: my copy of Paths of Sona just arrived. Super hyped to get into it, congrats on the incredible achievement
Awesome vid Lucas, we need more sculpting vids, these guys are instantly iconic, each is a must have and we absolutely need a painted grand reveal. Hate the cybernetic wooden legs, they're a brilliant build but they belong on a dynamic dreadnaught stand in for the admech. Maybe if there were ropes and pulleys instead of pistons to move them, cogs and gears Your musculature is so good at this stature of model, and absolutely GW appropriate but better. He's awesome to the waist, a long skirt would have spared you the muscle sculpting fatigue and been so very skaven. Rat feet are very hard, they're intricate and skeletal but with skin too, hard! That's exactly why GW cops out and gives them hooves instead which look garbage. I understand how going bionicle really eased the strain but after two and a half insane models, the last half a model had to be worth it You're a massive talent Lucas
my only complaint is the length. This was sooo short. Amazing work. I'd love to see a lot more of the sculpting process. So fascinating to watch. Love the result!
This is amazing, I really love the sculpting you did on the two you had to completely freehand. My favorite personally is the one that was prebuilt just cause the added details really make it pop. Second favorite has to be the robe rat though. As amazing as they all look, I will say that the two you made from scratch need more details unfortunately. Stuff like necklaces, trophies or belts, fur texture definitely. The legs on the muscle rat also feel a bit long IMO. These feel like fantastic bases, but they just feel like they're lacking in enough detail. Like for the robe rat, I could totally see a necklace of skulls, some tattered robes/holes in the robe, maybe a rope belt with hanging potions or something.
I made 3 different Treelords for £32.36 (and a couple of spare bases) - Got 3 copies of Stormbringer Mag #40 and one copy of #41. I get em for £8.09 each as Forbidden Planet does a university staff/student discount of 10%. Issue 40 makes the Treelord Ancient all on it's own, then issue #41 contains all the parts to make the Treelord and the Spirit of Durthu variants - but all the bonus bits are exclusive from one another so as long as you have 3x issue#40 you can make all 3 models from 4 issues.
Holy sh*t what an awesome job! But i would loved to watch even more of this proces, and ofcourse can't wait to see the painting be done by mr lucas himself!
Lucas really needs his own brand of cookies. Ones that come with several different icing colours that you can use to create your own custom coloured iced cookies.
Those look AMAZING!! But if I may, the bionic legs would look even more epic with a mix of cables, pipes, and sinew🤔😅 Like Pickle Rick but with some steam-punky analog "bionics"... Anyways cant wait to see how you paint them!
Look amazing, only thing bugging me is the mechanical legs size not matching up to the rest of the mini scalewise... can't wait to see them painted yes yes....
they are amazing Lukas! personally I think that the mechanical legs would look better with some more meat on them like they implanted those things making it work somehow
PLEASE paint these - You have created absolutely phenomenal sculpts and they truly deserve it. Would have loved to have seen this as a much longer video to be honest!
This video was criminally short, i really wish it was 2 or even 3 parts really showing us everything
Lukas is truly a genius and an artist. He never ceases to amaze me.
My favorite part of these 3 units is how he managed yo keep them all very similar in overall height despite the very different poses.
why are we not talking about how amazing those sketchs are?
“And Rats doesn’t have hooves”

They also don’t have bionic legs! Sorry but I think those plasticard legs look REALLY out of place
we love you luca, i think you should make the videos a bit longer or maybe split this video into 3 parts (15-20 minutes) specifically for these series but in general too, you are underselling your work, you have invested so much time into this sculptures and we barely see any of it.

They getting so big they don't read comments anymore
Love that Lucas started a Skaven army! His painting is really nice!

Dude Lucas, that sculping is legit my duder. Clean as hell.
Nice work

"14 kilos, that's 36 Stones for you Scottish people, and a million pounds for you Americans" hahahaha, that had me rolling

Nice! That's a great way to get variety from Verminlord kit. I'm looking forward to seeing these painted, especially that Eshin Verminlord.
muscle verminlord can finally skip leg day all he wants. Amazing work!
0:50 he turns into Uncle Roger for a split second :)
Just amazing what you created with this Skaven. He has earned his cookies this week.
I'd love to see these guys painted up, especially with the Darth Maul-esque legs getting the wood texture. I have minimal sculpting skills, so seeing this play out was beyond phenomenal. Great work!

another incredibly useful box is the mortis engine, you get super cool bits from it.
3 vampiresses , 2 of which can be sculpted onto horses, 1 which is very fitting for a throne sculpt
3 dynamic banshees
1 necromancer in admittedly pretty basic posture, but fits well into old-world units
and a ton of nice stuff i used for terrain
Nice to see Lucas doing his own video . Both the guys are super awesome and funny as heck
All Praise to Lucas! May his future be blessed with many cookies!
Rad stuff! You made the sculpting look so easy! I’ve been a fan of Aves apoxy sculpt forever. It’s such a great product.
It is projects like this that blow me away. I now want to start collecting Skaven... Thanks Lucas!!! As if I don't have enough in my pile of shame.
Incredible poses! Well done, Lukas, on the sculpting. Can't wait to see the paint jobs.
Very impressed with the sculpting, you must be proud of how well all three turned out!
I started something similar with a chaos Helbrute, but the sculpting part of the process got in the way. It was definitely a skill issue. Love this project

It’s not like one of us would be able to do something like that! That’s AN AMAZING WORK!!
I loved to watch the process, can’t wait for the paint job !
Those minis are as always madly beautiful, great job. As a great fan of the skaven faction, i would love to see some warpstone technology thing added on the clan moulder one ! I think it would add even more definition and identity to the mini that is already very beautiful.
Great work! My favourite one ia the lurky assassin standing on the wall!
Lucas is very impressive. My english is too bad to say how he impressed me all the time.
“Praise me, and give me cookies” 😂😂😂
If you're going for the cheaper build thing, use cold porcelain instead of epoxy, it's just glue, water and corn starch with some lemon or vinegar to prevent bacteria and fungi, it's resistant, easy to deal with and the result is surprisingly similar. Use vaseline while sculpting
Those look really good.. Want to see the painting video(s) for them next please!!
I love watching kit bashings videos so much. And you guess do such dope ones. Can't wait to see these painted.
I don't have social media so I'll say it here: my copy of Paths of Sona just arrived. Super hyped to get into it, congrats on the incredible achievement
I love the videos about turning one kit into 3 models. It's inspired me to give it a try
Those look dope af man.. very nicely done! Can't wait to see you paint them up!
Love this series!!! I would love to see this painted the sculpting is incredible!!
Feels a lot less like 'turning it into 3' and more like 'sculpting 2 additional' ones.
Awesome vid Lucas, we need more sculpting vids, these guys are instantly iconic, each is a must have and we absolutely need a painted grand reveal.

You're a massive talent Lucas
You're KIDDING by fitting all of this sculpting into less than 15 mins!
AMAZING work Lukas!
my only complaint is the length. This was sooo short. Amazing work. I'd love to see a lot more of the sculpting process. So fascinating to watch. Love the result!
amazing sculpts. I am exited to see how the wooden legs will look after painting. Keep up the amazing work :) I enjoy every of your videos
I love this kind of content - I turned my Great Unclean One kit into three GUOs just using the extra bits and papier mache.
Another proper hobby video. That’s 3 in a row. 👏 👏 keep it coming.
They all look so good!! Really hope to see you paint all three in the future!
dude, your scuplting is on a godly level.
Man, these are incredible - can't wait to see how you paint em!
As ever, great artwork from you guys. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter in this project
The Eshin one crouching over the ruins?
**chefs kiss**
The drawings you make before creating the figures are truly amazing, great work all around
I would love a part 2 where you get another box and convert the other three!!
Most excellent Lukas!!! 👏👏👏👏You guys have really been hiding your talents, the drawings, the sculpts, very impressive.👍👍😉
This is the kind of video I like on this channel
Feel free to get more content from this kind of exceptional work
Prefect timing for new AoS and a start of skaven army for me
Can we get a longer video of this build? I would watch the sculpting for an hour! Great job
Lucas you are one talented bastard! Well done they look amazing can’t wait to see the paint job
I'm impressed once again, Lucas 👌👍👏 Great job, but please paint these!!!
All three of these look fantastic. I don’t know which one is my favorite. Giant Darth Maul Ratman has some great vibes though.
They look amazing, great work!😍 I really look forward to see them painted!
That Eshin one is my fave and is really incredible. They all look good though and have inspired me to try to do something similar.
This is amazing, I really love the sculpting you did on the two you had to completely freehand. My favorite personally is the one that was prebuilt just cause the added details really make it pop. Second favorite has to be the robe rat though. As amazing as they all look, I will say that the two you made from scratch need more details unfortunately.

Like for the robe rat, I could totally see a necklace of skulls, some tattered robes/holes in the robe, maybe a rope belt with hanging potions or something.
Awesome stuff - would love to see more of these verminlords, and more videos like this!
This is by far the coolest video and minis in this channel!!!
wow they turned out so great! so many awesome little details, love all three!
They look awesome. Can't wait to see them painted
Excited to see these with some color !!!
they look so awsome i like the middle one the most
bloody fine work Lucas! keep it up, can't wait To see you paint them 🙂

PAINT IT ! PAINT IT ! PAINT IT !
5:30 - I immediately pulled my headphones off, thinking someone to my right's cell phone was going off.
You guys are inspiring me to sculpt. Also your brush video helped a lot as I was getting really frustrated with a real hair brush
Never would of thought to do this. Nice.
These are INCREDIBLE! Can't wait for the next video!
Those look AMAZING!! But if I may, the bionic legs would look even more epic with a mix of cables, pipes, and sinew🤔😅 Like Pickle Rick but with some steam-punky analog "bionics"... Anyways cant wait to see how you paint them!
paint paint paint.
I NEED to see these fully realized.
Loving the skaven content Lukas, keep it coming Im getting hyped for my skaventide box
I mean... wow!!😱😱😱 so friggin gooood!!! I wanna try this.😊
Awesome Work! I can´t wait to see the paintjob!^^
Look amazing, only thing bugging me is the mechanical legs size not matching up to the rest of the mini scalewise... can't wait to see them painted yes yes....
Want miniatures? Sculpt them. Genious advice I definitely searched for
Absolutely love that the aluminum wire got its own B-roll with the lighting and fog 🤣🤣🤣
they are amazing Lukas! personally I think that the mechanical legs would look better with some more meat on them like they implanted those things making it work somehow
Lucas, you English is gettin gooder every time. Keep up the grape work
underrated sketching skills, I'd love to see a sketching tutorial!
00:50 yeah steve
Amazing work as always, Lukas. Please tell Emil that I said you are to have an extra cookie.
Holy moly, those look amazing 🤩
Great Sculpts👍
This is why I'm here. Amazing!
Those are incredible - great work!
