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.

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.

Love these “Lukas makes a mini” episodes!

Absolutely nailed it in this video. Great subject matter, editing, and painting. Loved it. Thanks lads

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.

I'd love to see some Eldar on this channel, been watching a lot but can't say that they feature too much.

Try synthwave. Daniel Delux, Gunship to name a few. You're welcome.

Would have been interesting to have some flame traveling up the chainsword. Never have seen a flaming chainsword before, so it would be unique.

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.

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.

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!

Looks great! Thank you for the great video as always! Please fix the noise marines next! They're in dire need of fixing

God damn it. Now I want a full army of these guys.

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.

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 Lukas!!! The Emils must be proud of you! =)

Great video, I never miss a single one! Please do a Death Watch Fort being attacked by Nids!

Really lovely work!! Plague Bearer next!? Those guys deserve an update!

Dammmmn (not even intended as a pun) that is a gorgeous mini and your sculpting on this is incredible! Well done, Lukas!

I appreciate the casual dad joke.

Amazing as always guys .

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.

Holy bananas!! now i want an army of them !!!!

Lucas with the Nick Saban energy. "TRUST THE PROCESS! PRACTICE!"

Absolutely amazing work.

Great job lucas, looks amazing

beautiful work! love it

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.

A video about my favourite chapter?? HELL YEAH

Amazing painting... its easier to see the details on smaller mondels like this space marine.

This was an awesome video. I’d love to see you guys fix Ultramarines

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!!!!

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.

That was a great paint job! Wish i could paint like that :)

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

5:25 Very glad to see Alegroth brought up - dude's constantly done some damn fine LotD minis.

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.

You guys should try to fix the tyranid tyrannofex

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!

Legion of the Damned has always been my dream army but has always been intimidated. Thanks for the inspiration.

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!

@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 😎👍

That's the most metal album cover I've ever seen, turned into a 3D object!?! I'm here for it.

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

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!

That looks brilliant

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

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 Lucas just needs to learn digital sculpting. :)

I remember a kid at school had these and they seemed so cool (for a nerdy hobby!)

I had 3 squads of LOTD when i was a kid. I had no idea they were so rare.

What a great Alpha Legion mini you have there!

Great video as usual. I'm excited to try Tamiya quick-sculpt epoxy. This is the first time I've ever heard of it.

Did Lukas get his thumb while assassinating aquilas? Turnabout is fair play I suppose.

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?

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.

looks frickin sick!!!

The black armour looks so good! I want to try this on some Deathwatch

awesome lads....damn awesome

I thought this thumbnail looked familiar awesome job I wish I could paint like you guys

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

Lukas destroying his thumb, but keeps going like a champ

Love these videos! Would thoroughly enjoy "Fixing everything wrong with..." video's of Age of Sigmar

I noticed the song choice when rolling the tiny little sausages ;)

loved the video. would totally dig something with Tau, maybe converting a crisis or riptide suit?

Could I have that miniature? Hahahaha What a fine piece of art, Lucas. Keep it up, guys!

That's the best SM model I've ever seen. GW take note and make some

I appreciate the other dammed souls escaping from hel...the warp along with the Legionare.

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.

Cool as always. 👍

Brilliant figure wow it just blows me away. How about doing a Blood Raven next? The chapter master or a librarian? Please

I have a few of the 2010 ones to eventually get around to painting. But I definitely wanna try making a primaris one

Love this...but can you do a whole squad?!

Looks great 🎉

SALAMANDERS NEXT ! love ur vids

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

I kind of lean towards the "Emperor's Demons" theory for the Legion.

Awesome miniature

Fixing space wolves may be cool. Brighter scheme and lots of conversion opportunity
