Keep the codes coming
Yay!! Can never get too many codes. 😁
Can you tell them to fix Exp and Gold
its really not very good :/
So I haven't painted minis in over decades. Usually white scars. But maybe a legion member would be a nice jump back into the depths
Lukas just free handing the pauldrons like a boss.. #MoreCookiesForLukas
My Lore theory on the Legion of the Damned is that they are the 2nd legion.
The Emperor looking forward into the future, foresaw a time when all would be lost. He sent for two of his legions, the 2nd and the 11th. He told their Primarchs of what he had seen and asked for them to travel through the warp into that dark future. The 2nd volunteered to go first. Big E applied the full might of his power to them. They burst into flames and became the Legion of the Damned. A force capable of surviving till that distant time within the warp.
Seeing this the Primarch of the 11th refused to have this horror befall his people, and because he already knew of this dark time the Emperor had to put down the first of his sons. The 11th legion was mindwiped, and splintered into the other legions, with the Ultra Marines gaining the largest number.
And my reasoning is they are the "Legion" of the Damned. Not the Chapter of the Damned. And the 2nd and 11th are known as The Lost and the Forgotten. Lost in the warp, and forgotten to all fits this idea perfectly.
Current lore says that they're the fire hawks, which is an ultramarines second founding legion.
The coolest thing I've seen suggested about the legion is that ferrus manus is actually leading them. Lets be honest, a flaming primarch sounds awesome.
@@Mephiston well that's not... "lore" that's speculation.
I actually really like this idea.
@@ThePigeon5734 White dwarf #99. Index Astartes: Legion of the Damned, by Rick Priestly.
It directly states that the fire hawks, after their emergency warp exit began to transform and slowly die, and that they chose to not die without a purpose "So began the unstoppable war of the legion of the damned".
It is not speculation. It is LORE, as written by the chief lore writer of 40k
@@Mephiston ok, white dwarf isn't exactly a solid source and #99 is old anyway
I've been waiting for LotD minis for 20 years. I don't have the skills to convert my own squad. I hope the added hype for the LotD of late will push GW to finally make some minis. Probably not.
If you want something simple use human skulls instead of helmets and freehand some flames along the armor. Maybe use chaplains bodies for characters and shave off the ecclesiarchy icons
Or just 3d print them or ask someone to do it for you. Today, printers are rly high quality
@sakhban7190 I got nothing against printing, but I personally don't like painting resin. It could just be the resin I used, but it was always a pain to paint over. I also really like kitbashing, so it's alot of extra fun there for me.
@@sakhban7190That's a great idea actually. I think I'll search for LotD 3d models. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@DuxDamnatio maybe Your not washing enough, im keeping them in IPA99% for about 10 - 15 minutes or 5 minutes in wash machine. Never have issues with painting over primed resin (earlier i was using vallejo matt black through airbrush, and now switched to cans), but sometimes Its easier to rip off some paint and to prevent it i switched to cans and were glove for holding model.
@krystalmesh you can find easily free and presupported tactical/primaris squad
Absolutely nailed it in this video. Great subject matter, editing, and painting. Loved it. Thanks lads
Love these “Lukas makes a mini” episodes!
I would really love to see how you would fix the Night Lords. I think they are okay but could do with way more of a vampire style aspect to them. So would loooove if you could do them
I still remember being in High School 2 decades ago just starting my Dark Angels Space Marines and my friends dad showing me his LotD Marines and explaining their lore and thinking it was cool as hell but then hearing very little about them for the next 20 years except in little tidbits here and there.
I always like to imagine that they are the Emperors Will manifested, in a way his own "Daemons" but not chaos aligned.
I was never a big fan of the flame decals on the Legion of the Damned's armour since it makes them look tacky, but a marine wreathed in flames always looks pretty cool in my book. I did wonder, since you mentioned that in the lore they were formally the Fire Hawks, if you would sculpt flaming bone hawk wings instead of the ribcage on the armour. I also think that if/when GW gets around to re-sculpting them officially that they should incorporate more of their spectral nature since they are imperial daemons after all.
One thing I absolutely love about your videos is the music you play in the background when you both paint.
I'm not familiar with the genre names at all but would love to know the styles/genres used in your video to listen to when I do my own painting at home 😊
Try synthwave. Daniel Delux, Gunship to name a few. You're welcome.
I'd love to see some Eldar on this channel, been watching a lot but can't say that they feature too much.
yeah all great painters need to have some eldar
I also vote for Eldar🎉
Agreed, MORE ELDAR!!
Some cool custom Farseers would be awesome! I'd love to see some psykers remade.
HERETIC!!! lol jk, yeah never see enough eldar 😂
Love your videos, guys 😂 Also, great to see my old LotD artwork used in a cool way!
We're massive fans🥳🥳
The stippling layers and highlights are an amazing departure from the smooth textures and dry brushing I usually fall back on. This seems like a great technique for my IWs. Well done.
"Imagine it was 1996....'
Ye gods i wish it was.
🎶 *Gangsta's Paradise intensifies* 🎶
Warp Spiders are 30 years old today, it would be amazing to see an improved version of their amazing(ly old) kit.
I realy liked the little lore part at the begining of the video. Great job!
Would have been interesting to have some flame traveling up the chainsword. Never have seen a flaming chainsword before, so it would be unique.
Brilliant conversion and paint job. Love it!
Amazing as always, looking forward to the next one!!
I would like to see you try create dwarf cavallerie. I always chuckle thinking about a regular shield+axe dwarf warrior riding a pony :)
and then you watch Hobbit and see this awesome mountain GOAT Chariot :) Goat + Dwarf cavallerie makes much more sense and would look badass. :D
I'd love to see a legion of the damned Dreadnaught, but with a twist. Rather than stomping around on those big chonky legs, it would be like floating on a massive plume of fire or something. Idunno, maybe I'm just too stoned.
Actually, the Legion of the Damned go all the way back to the very early days of 40k, someone on the studio painting team at GW came up with the idea and it slowly grew in popularity. If you hunt for a bit, you will find some pics from the old White Dwarf magazine that had a few of the RTB01 space marines painted up in that now famous paint scheme of black with burning bones and skulls. There was even a Reaver titan in Legion of the Damned colors and markings someone did for Golden Demon way back then!
I remember seeing one on an old citadel combat card from the rogue trader era. 'Brother Mordin'.
Akcuahley!
They appeared on White Dwarf 99 . It was alluded that they were a chapter lost in the warp
Phenomenal build & paintjob!!
This mini is freaking awesome ! Amazing job Lucas !
Revisit old “How to paint…” videos, with any technique upgrades that you’ve learned since then.
Great trip down memory lane! I remember reading that 1998 white dwarf mag with friends in class. They really need to bring back scatter dice.
5:52 Might wanna practice doing things without fingers right now. Never hurts to get a head start.
The Legion of the Dammed is the II or the XI Legion, and I'm ready to die on this hill!!!
This is the coolest Black Legion mini I've seen. The pose, the sculpt, the paint job, everything just oozes intimidating hopelessness. This is fucking sick man, impressive work Lucas 👏🏻🙏🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻
Awesome work as always, I just started a Legion of the Damned project myself - using some of the MKVI marines from Heresy as a base.
Awesome Lukas!!!
The Emils must be proud of you! =)
@SquidmarMiniatures I would really like to see and in depth tutorial about painting black armour. Especially how you are placing the highlights correctly or how to approach it? In the video it just looks like random speckle highlights - but in practice...well it isn't 😅 An in-depth video of painting black armour would be awesome 😎👍
Love to see you guys take on Space Wolves Next
Great video, I never miss a single one! Please do a Death Watch Fort being attacked by Nids!
Stunning work lukas as always.
Looks great! Thank you for the great video as always!
Please fix the noise marines next! They're in dire need of fixing
You guys should try to fix the tyranid tyrannofex
beautiful work! love it
Dammmmn (not even intended as a pun) that is a gorgeous mini and your sculpting on this is incredible! Well done, Lukas!
The Fire Hawks, the original name of the chapter and an amazing history. Always wanted to do a chapter of them. Think its time for the Greenstuff and to release my Sgt Centurius from his Tomb.
Amazing painting... its easier to see the details on smaller mondels like this space marine.
I’m a believer that, just like Celestine, the LotD are summoned by the Emperor when needed. They are originally the slain of Isstvan 3&5, the War in the Webway shows them being led by a figure that is described pretty heavily as Ferrus. The Fire Hawks could have been added to the Legion.
Holy bananas!! now i want an army of them !!!!
This was an awesome video. I’d love to see you guys fix Ultramarines
God damn it. Now I want a full army of these guys.
Absolutely amazing work.
5:25 Very glad to see Alegroth brought up - dude's constantly done some damn fine LotD minis.
That was a great paint job! Wish i could paint like that :)
Great job lucas, looks amazing
Amazing as always guys .
Really lovely work!! Plague Bearer next!? Those guys deserve an update!
I... Feel so spoiled right now. Not only have I felt this struggle for a decade, but I've wanted to see the squid team make them. Also thank you for teaching how to paint flames for LOTD. this was dope. I feel so seen right now!!!!
Awesome job as always boys but I think you missed a huge opportunity not painting that plinth to look like a candle that way the mini would like the most metal wick ever!
Did Lukas get his thumb while assassinating aquilas? Turnabout is fair play I suppose.
I appreciate the casual dad joke.
Here is a challenge, what figures (War Hammer or what ever) would you use to make a Chess Set of 32 pieces Each side starts with 16 pieces: eight pawns, two bishops, two knights, two rooks, one queen, and one king. What figures/Chapters/Factions would you use.
Marines and ghost rider, the crossover I didn't know I needed
You need to look up the Doomrider chaos biker.
didn’t realize until now, but a legion of the damned kill team is an absolute no-brainer. They could add so much flavour for the models, keeping it small & semi-exclusive without committing to a full range. Hell it’s probably finished and waiting on release. Would sell like crazy
who would you guys pit against them in a box?
I remember a kid at school had these and they seemed so cool (for a nerdy hobby!)
I know its not really lore accurate but a Legion of the Damned themed Knight would be awesome.
Great video as usual. I'm excited to try Tamiya quick-sculpt epoxy. This is the first time I've ever heard of it.
I love TOTD, I have the original Sgt Centarus and the full set of the 2010 metal figures, still boxed (life got in the way for painting them, unfortunately). They are awesome. Great video. 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
2010 miniatures?
I have the original late 90s figures.
But having Sgt Centaris is impressive.
I stopped collecting/painting in 2008.
@Mugdorna
Yeah. Released for 5th edition, I think it was. They are on the site, Lexicanum, or whatever its called. Came in 2 boxes of 5 and blister packs of heavy weapons made in good old metal. I stopped collecting I 2009 after 20 years. I have sold everything apart from my Legion figures and my Bloodraven Army Inc original resin Forgeworld gunship. I had a huge Black Templar army also.
A video about my favourite chapter?? HELL YEAH
I had an entire Legion of the Damned army in 3rd edition. I ran them as Alpha Legion in the 3.5 CSM codex and took them to Games Day Chicago. Everything infiltrated except for the captain on a bike. It was fun.
I have a few of the 2010 ones to eventually get around to painting. But I definitely wanna try making a primaris one
Lucas with the Nick Saban energy. "TRUST THE PROCESS! PRACTICE!"
Here are my proposals for future ideas:
1, recreate the 4 iconic heroes of Warhammer Quest
2, make a nice miniature or Malus Darkblade
3, make a space dwarf. GW made 2 fine models for Necromunda (don't say League of Votann, they are just shorter and roundier space marines...), but it's not like the old squats
4, make a decent chaos dwarf hero or sorcerer
5, make a new but classic Morathi with very few clothes, to show the painting skin of a flawless female, without muscles and heavy shades (way trickier than supposed to)
6, Gotrek and Felix (Gotrek got a nice update for AoS, but the classic Felix is out in the Old World)
7, Tyrion and Teclis guys, like a modern version of the high elves, not the weird update from GW
8, do whatever you want, it's always entertaining to watch, you two!
Brilliant figure wow it just blows me away. How about doing a Blood Raven next? The chapter master or a librarian? Please
Next time you do a video in this series can you put it next to all the others in the series during the grand reveal? Personally I think it'd be cool to see your collection of these "fixed" legions all side by side and the project growing.
The black armour looks so good! I want to try this on some Deathwatch
Lovely video as allways. How's about a video making an rocking bloodbowl arena for the new gnome team when they come out. You know its going to be popular and a great play pitch with a full crowed clearing them on of loads of different races will for sure be totaly awesome.
Honestly, with how much time has been spent on the Legion of the Damned in recent lore I would be shocked if that we didn’t get a model
Ok the way you did your initial lighting effect (affect?) after basing. Is there a tutorial video for that. I’m doing Ravenguard right now and have attempted that look but with dry brushing but I want that look. I am not quite to the point of adding lighting from sources yet but I need to get regular lighting
This was the only space marines I painted. I forgot what they were called and couldn’t find them again after I started your chsnnel
I noticed the song choice when rolling the tiny little sausages ;)
So they are like the Oathbreakers in LOTR, I did love these guys when I collected 🤘🏻
You should totally paint some up like the Oathbreakers 😀
I think Lucas just needs to learn digital sculpting. :)
loved the video. would totally dig something with Tau, maybe converting a crisis or riptide suit?
Fix the Emperor's Spears! The are a really cool chapter with strong ties to their home tribes and the people of the home world Nemeton with a cool tribal esthetic but not as over the top as the tryhard Mortifactor or the viking LARPers of the Space Wolves. They actually feel somewhat down to earth, knowing what it is like to be a human and caring for the individual and not just the empire as an abstract whole. The book "Spear of the Emperor" does a great job or portraying them and there is a lot that can be done without making them look too similar to any other chapter. They'd honestly be the chapter I would be collecting if GW made it somewhat possible to make them without Lukas level skills.
Then send the mini to me... 🥺
That's the most metal album cover I've ever seen, turned into a 3D object!?! I'm here for it.
You guys should make an AOS pirate diorama 😂 I'm loving BlackPowder's Buccaneers models atm
awesome lads....damn awesome
looks frickin sick!!!
I thought this thumbnail looked familiar awesome job I wish I could paint like you guys
Not sure if you're familiar but that... That ain't an aquila...
Jokes aside, freaking love you silly people. Thank you for keeping the love for 40k alive!
Love it!! An idea for something that definitely needs fixing: it seems like gw is gonna release the orc chariot with the old boars that look like pumba from the lion king but worse. Snälla give us an updated version with the new epic boars!! The results will be soooo cool! (Jag har gjort det och det är coolaste enheten i armén typ) Thanks for being awesome
Really would love to see you guys to paint some kingdom death like the lion god or the phoenix!
Fix gulliman or calgar next.
Guillimans mini has never captured the actual character imho, not like the forge world one did.
And calgar needs his terminator armour back!!!
Love the game and thank you for the extra gold and Req Order! 💪🤘
Wonderful to see your take on the LotD. Other things I'd like to see you fix in this way: Night Lords, Eldar, maybe the T' au?
That looks brilliant
Have you guys ever made a video on middle earth’s minis? Would be nice!
Could I have that miniature? Hahahaha What a fine piece of art, Lucas. Keep it up, guys!
How about making some "The Black Dragons were long rumored to be a Salamanders Successor Chapter" minis could see some amazing things coming from your putty work.
Love these videos! Would thoroughly enjoy "Fixing everything wrong with..." video's of Age of Sigmar
Legion of the Damned has always been my dream army but has always been intimidated. Thanks for the inspiration.
I like the idea that the Legion of the Damned are the souls of the Astartes of the Legions of the Death Guard, World Eaters, Emperors Children, and the Luna Wolves.
I think we would like to see Lukas paint a whole army of these guys, this look sick! I would start with that fire on a Bike squad, it would look ridiculous! Maybe start with the Raven wing models... More flames less wings...
What a great Alpha Legion mini you have there!
I had 3 squads of LOTD when i was a kid. I had no idea they were so rare.
