I feel like the community is hoping that if they say Henry's name enough times then he'll show up with his own youtube channel with painting tips and battle reports.
Henry Cavill has gone on record saying he would rather not use his fortune to buy an army, because he believes putting in the effort to make an army is a part of the hobby. I imagine a lot of people are unaware of that, so I hope that people won't drag Henry if he declines, or force him into buying an army for charity's sake.
@@marcuscabbe3353 gotta agree with you here I think he'd jump on the chance to do a charity thing. Also to the above perso Yeah I get he wants to paint his own stuff. Same here and im a decent painter but Id still be buzzing my tits off if I was lucky enough to own a squidmar and friends(not just him in the channel props to the painters and crew) painted army/mini as its art. Im sure even guys and gals at squidmars level would wvwn appreciate say an army painted by Angel Giraldes. Remember this isnt just any custodes army.
Knowing that about Cavil, I suspect what you might end up seeing is him trading a titan with them for the army, on the condition that the army is auction off, with proceeds also going to charity...
Yes, Emil is actively encouraging countlrss people to littleraly spam him into buying a 2000 dollar mini to trade, that has to be againt SOME kind of laws somewere, and I'm suprized he has not realized how inconsiderate that is to poor Henry. First guy, now this!
@@tanker7107 Yeah... I'm also quite hessitant about this whole thing. It be one thing if Henry Cavill contacted them himself, but to have a whole community badger him into this feels... off to say the least. Bad vibes.
I don’t think Henry Cavill will do this. Not because he doesn’t like charity work but because it sets a precedent for public summoning and he’d get millions of requests to do stuff that he would have to turn down. It’s a lovely idea and I’d love to see it happen however.
Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand charity is great and you are doing a lovely thing. On the other hand 40k is Henry’s hobby and this May open the floodgates and people won’t leave the guy alone. Might take the joy out of it for him. He isn’t something to be weaponised. Best of luck with it but it makes me feel a bit uneasy using the guy like that.
@@ericlang7408 im pretty sure when I clicked on the video it was a picture of squidmar and the custodes army, i might be wrong, so if I remember right it was a little less cheeky
Gotta add my voice to the ones saying I don't think it was right to "sic the internet" on the guy. Contacting him through agents/publicists and getting him involved behind the scenes would have been a lot more difficult, for sure, and making it happen would be a HUGE boost to the amount of funds you're likely to raise, but it doesn't feel quite right to do it like this. Not full on EVIL, just sort of greasy.
I love how down-to-Earth Henry Cavill is, he plays games and stuff, he even told a story about almost missing the role in the Witcher series because of playing the Witcher 3
Pretty harsh to sick 447 thousand people on a guy with a lot of eyes on him always. If he doesn't want to do it he will face serious backlash whether that was your intention or not. Like I said pretty harsh...
Ffs can we maybe just not spam Henry with stuff like this? I get that it's for charity and that's nice and all, but there are literally hundreds if not more channels who ask their viewers to more or less spam Henry with their requests/challenges etc. Just sell the custodes army at an auction or try and trade it for a warlord, (Midwinter minis is working on his warlord titan, maybe he would be interested?) and let the dude enjoy the process of collecting and painting his own freaking army.. Imagine the potential backlash from fans if Henry declines a trade for charity.
i like how custom's basically pulled a literal highway robber move of holding your shipment hostage in exchange for *a lot of money* that's just kinda ridiculous
@@ellismccoy The first mini's I bought (mega dwarf army from Mantic) were express delivery (it was the only option the company had at the time). Import tax ended up being 50% of the cost of the box.
The Champions of Sona figures itself look so unique and beautiful but the painting is breathtaking. The shadow / light on the background of characters is so creative
Henry is currently filming the Witcher, House of Dragons (rumored), and reprising his role as superman. Please don't chase him out of the warhammer community. I know It's for charity, but the guy is overwhelmed as it is.
Yeah look I'll just say that I don't think that telling your audience to spam the hell out of all of Henry's social media accounts is a good call. I'm sure he's got people that manage his DMs and all but man this kind of thing sounds like a way to just make him think less of the community as a whole.
tip - get sender to write gift on box, and to even mail the post that it's a gift, and not a purchase. This i can recommend when it's trading and not pure sales from a store.
I want to say that I appreciate your content and artistry and even more than that I find it somehow even more beautiful that the channel provides not just for you, but a whole team of people. I think it's a great thing when people can make a living for them and their friends doing what they love.
Henry shouldn't do it. Because then all the other freaks would expect the same that have asked, or that will ask for similar events. He probably really regrets showing his fans than he paints warhammer. Its sad really.
I remember when Warhammer first launched. I was in the USCG at the time and a few of us branched out from Traveller and D&D to give it a try. Fast Forward 40 years and things have progressed amazingly. Regarding your team's work - the artistry on display here is astonishing. Good luck with the auction.
Started watching your channel I think it was 3 years ago or such, and due to life took a 6 month break from the hobby. Im amazed to see how much your channel has exploded into an "office" of people, from those cozy intimate "how to" vids. Good work!
Why don't you auction up the army before you paint it and include a custom paint job as a part of the lot? Include a brainstorming session and a few 30 min meetings to discuss what the winner wants for paint scheme/colors.
I love the idea, but I almost feel like Henry wanted to keep his love for this hobby “private” - I just don't want him to get annoyed by this nice idea.
@@Fearienify I love the idea of Hollywood A-listers getting press-ganged into a game of 40k whilst Cavill is excitedly explaining objective points and custodes lore.
Gotta love you guys at Squidmar, at any point you guys could have stopped and said, we won, we have a badass army and it didn’t cost us a dime with all the trades. Giving it all to charity really reminds me why I love this channel
@@SquidmarMiniatures if you started with 10 cents and ended with anything more than that you traded up. You're even encouraging your viewers to pressure someone wealthy into donating you even more..
You might already know but maybe try to paint the Custodes in an "Adrian Smith's artwork" inspired way. That it may fit Cavil's own army. As he mentioned on Instagram. Good Luck with it!
Bunch of old school pals that falls head over heels into a fantastic universe and gets to be suitable various characters. Totally freaked out at first but ends up finishing the somewhat weird quest to get home. All but one who cannot go back because a healing potion he got won't work in our reality.... So it ends with one of them slowly cleaning off a 3d print of their lost friend and painting it to the adventurer he became. I would pay for that...
Give me a Streaming Service Comedy called FLGS in the style of Parks and Rec or the Office with Will Wheaton as the overly energetic employee, Manganiello is the stuck in his ways store owner, Adam Scott is the customer who's always there and acts like an employee, Vin Diesel is the customer who shows up minutes before events start talking about all the stuff he bought online and how he got a killer deal, and Henry Cavill is the customer who buys everything but never has time to play any of it.
makes video about trading plastic figures around the world accidentally exposes a corrupt customs official demanding $500 to import a used piece of plastic worth half that much
I actually lucked out last year at a beloved thrift style store in a little town I used to live in. Even though my family moved; when we visit, we also stop in. The owner will buy random storage lots and the this one was full of 40k, Magic the Gathering, D&D, etc. She priced things in bundles and ridiculously low so most of everything was gone within a few hours. For 25 U.S. dollars, I received about 2300 points in units over a few factions. Most of the collection is from 1992. About 400 space marines, 300 drukhari, 300 genestealers, a few random Tyranids, 300 point in necrons, 400 points chaos, 500 points orks, and then a bunch of randoms including some age of Sigmar and some miscellaneous units. That's not including the bits. If I had more of the missing spruces, there's easily an entire combat patrol of drukhari and genestealers. Definitely my best buy for the hobby and I highly recommend searching little stores. I only wish I had been there sooner. There was an entire collection of painted metal figures and I only managed to get a few. I was especially excited for the ork truck still in the box when I went through my purchase and the owner had to break my heart. She said she just struck a deal for 300 bucks with another gentlemen just before I walked in. She made it sound like I had just missed the motherload... She said this was stuff she hadn't quite unpacked but when he saw her last load out of the unit; he paid cash and smiled. I cant imagine what the gentleman received! I bet is was a thunderhawk...
I really like your channel and the work you do, but I got to say that spamming Henry Cavill to death with messages is not the right path to take. The goal you set for yourself is really great, giving the results to charity, but it has a bitter taste if someone gets harrased to buy into that stuff... Enough of the bad mood, I hope you get to reach your goal and wish you all the best!
Funny story! I sold that custodes army last year! Army I played a couple times but didn’t have time to finish painting them (Battle Babe Painting did the bigger tanks, and the gold bikes, and I painted the Pallas tank) looks like whoever bought from me tried to repaint my original paint job
Loved the video except for the end. Telling your entire viewer base to go and harass Henry is just a scummy thing to do. You could leave one comment, and then get your viewers to go like your comment so it reaches the top. Don’t tell people to mass-dm others, you wouldn’t like it if it was done to you.
Once Henry has the Castodes Army, then he can swing by Guys place of Mid Winter Minis and complete that old requested Battle report featuring Henry Cavil😉
I'd love a series where you do these trade ups and you start from a cheap mini, but then you add value to them by painting them. You'd have to spend more time painting, but you'd do way fewer trades.
This kind of clout-chasing celeb "charity-mugging" wasn't cool when Midwinter did it either. Shameful. He may be a celeb but he's also a person. This kind of passive aggressive self-marketing using his name is just the worst. Completely shameful, and so are the thousands of idiots who will now harass the guy on social media for 'charity' and your own personal income via ad-revenue and patreon. What ARE you thinking??
I'm honestly loving how this is about the charity :) I know you've had to put your own money up in this but the fact your doing this for charity is just great!
I wish i could paint but my nervous condition and lack of hand-eye coordination stop short, however I know a budding understanding of art theory. So, seeing you and many others hone their skill at painting make me smile. Well done, good video
Could it be that it was valued as 1800$ and then 200$ shipping. Then 25% vat and 0% tax it would match 500$. But if you can prove that real value is lower you can get refund. However, it might be hard.
kinda wish someone without name recognition would try something like this. many of the trades, especially early on, were clearly done due to the name attached to the trade.
For those guys who were complaining that Henry would get spammed. It's not like Squidmar was telling us/you guys to send him death threats. This was all in good will. If the spamming becomes an issue, I'm sure Mr. Cavill's team will/would post a public announcement. It's literally for charity. I think this whole thing is cool and within reason. (Though this was posted a month ago, and idk what has happened in regards to this since then.)
I always enjoy the silly picture overlays that illustrate what you’re talking about, Emil, but the Custodes on the plane from America, with all of their faces including the Titan looking out the window made me laugh and laugh. Love your videos!!!
I've been watching you guys for some time and I wanna say you make outstanding content. I really appreciate what you do for the community and you just got yourself a new subscriber.
I suppose maybe if the whole army was painted by Squidmar he might do it but at the same time I feel someone like Henry Cavill would already have every model. I would if I was him.
I am so hyped for the Kickstarter! Absolutely my jam and definitely looking forward to it! Fingers crossed you can make the thumbnail a reality and sell Henry his dream army :)
It would be truly amazing if you got any kind of anything with Henry through this while process. I feel like it also being a charity project would really motivate him to become part of this in some way. Good luck, fingers crossed!
Well, here is my little contribution to the project. I hit the like button, and I'm writing something. Now, go and do your part and paint some beautiful miniatures!
Liked and now commenting for charity. Also, I liked the way you smoothed over the Nighthaunt army was basically worthless because Mortal Realms is still in everyone's rear-view. I worried that might've been a misstep so I'm glad it won't be wasted.
Great job to make some kid happy. I can imagine how he will be happy when get all that. Two years ago I was lost all my minis and books and recently one friend give me one of my minitaure that was forgoten at his home. i was really happy like I got priceless thing. 🥰 So make that kid happy and show us :)
You want rules for the minis? I am a gamedesigner of 20 years experience (oh god why am I so old?!?) and I worked on tabletop games in this time. I would do a nice hero-based skirmish game for you guys, so people are able to have a ton of fun moving the awesome minis while watching them :)
4001 dollars. I really laughed. That elfish mini painted by Lukas..soooo good. Man he was already masterclass on day 1 in this channel but he's even improving.
strange timing im about to do a charity stream painting up an entire Custodes army in 12 hours this saturday the 1st. would love if you could drop by and say hi. i may also know a guy who knows mr cavill.
Be the first to know about our upcoming miniature Kickstarter:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/squidmar/champions-of-sona-75mm-resin-miniatures
this seris has been sooo good thx squidmar
might be worth reaching out to drunk3po he's friends with Gina carano maybe she can pass the message on since her and Henry are friends?
Excited for the KS love your brushes and airbrush!
The reminds me of the story of a man who traded a piece of weat for a castle over 5 to 10 years can't remember
I traded a 2k bone reaper for 5k necrons
I feel like the community is hoping that if they say Henry's name enough times then he'll show up with his own youtube channel with painting tips and battle reports.
Calm down he's not Beetlejuice
@@wessthemess117 have you ever seen him and Beetlejuice in the same place at the same time??? I think not...
@@BrandonPowellBlasterTown I don't have a defeater for your logic.
I would watch a painting series with Cavill and Rahul Kohli, it would be amazing.

I imagine a lot of people are unaware of that, so I hope that people won't drag Henry if he declines, or force him into buying an army for charity's sake.
Absolutely 🤗 no hard feeling at all, I'm the same
Plot twist: Henry will only do the trade if they strip the paint first.
Henry is allso known for being a good guy and for supporting cheritys. If he gets wind of this i think hes game for the good of it

Having Henry Cavill’s “dream” army in the title is the cleverest technically non-clickbate title I have ever seen.

Not cool to encourage people to harass Mr. Cavill. I hope he's not regretting sharing his hobby with the public...
+1 year
He definitely does!
Imagine if Henry cavill makes the trade, but wants to help paint the titan
Now that would be fkn awesome
You think these guys would turn that down? They'd totally be down for that! 😎
Pin this
If Squidmar paints one and Cavill paints the other. Would be awesome

I would really love to see a non influencer try this I feel like squids presence really helps with the trades, otherwise tho fun vid
Love the channel and the series! Such a fun idea :-) Much love!
PS.
I swear to God, Lukas has the thickest swedish accent ever. Love it. Never change!
$500 to import the models? That’s insane, my brain boggles at that. It doesn’t cost that much at customs they gouged you huge.
yep :/ might have been the guy that sent it marked them at a higher value or something, i don't know but it hurt my wallet badly
Could it be that it was valued as 1800$ and then 200$ shipping. Then 25% vat and 0% tax it would match 500$. But if you can prove that real value is lower you can get refund. However, it might be hard.
@@SquidmarMiniatures Coming from the US, he wouldn't even have known what VAT is or how it would effect you.
kinda wish someone without name recognition would try something like this. many of the trades, especially early on, were clearly done due to the name attached to the trade.
Heard that if you say "Henry Cavill" in front of a mirror 3 times, nothing will happen but you will feel slightly warmer inside!
For those guys who were complaining that Henry would get spammed.
It's not like Squidmar was telling us/you guys to send him death threats.
This was all in good will.
If the spamming becomes an issue, I'm sure Mr. Cavill's team will/would post a public announcement.
It's literally for charity.
I think this whole thing is cool and within reason.
(Though this was posted a month ago, and idk what has happened in regards to this since then.)
I always enjoy the silly picture overlays that illustrate what you’re talking about, Emil, but the Custodes on the plane from America, with all of their faces including the Titan looking out the window made me laugh and laugh. Love your videos!!!
I’m not even a Warhammer fan but I enjoyed this vid a lot 👍🏻
Bro those Imperial knight titans that where yellow are so dang cool I love how they also kinda look like Adeptus mechanic with the gear symbol
nearly a million views and yet less than 60k likes. It doesn't hurt to like a video guys, help the man out.
Custodes are cool, but I loved the painting on those Knights!
that customs charge is fucking robbery
I've been watching you guys for some time and I wanna say you make outstanding content. I really appreciate what you do for the community and you just got yourself a new subscriber.
It's awesome to see you guys keeping up with this project ! Good luck for whatever comes next 💪
Wow I can't believe you got Superman to be in the thumbnail with you! Squidmar is really going places now!
The title should be: how I traded a 10 cent goblin, 500€ in duty and 50 work hours for henry cavills warhammer army
Every time i hear "i traded with myself" in one of these videos, i think "oh, so you cheated?"
Ah you 'One Red Paperclipped' it. Proven effective. I also agree with the sentiment here.
I have no idea what I'm doing here, idk what I just watched but I enjoyed every second of it 😂
I suppose maybe if the whole army was painted by Squidmar he might do it but at the same time I feel someone like Henry Cavill would already have every model. I would if I was him.
Love this channel. Don’t love clickbait
I am so hyped for the Kickstarter! Absolutely my jam and definitely looking forward to it!
Fingers crossed you can make the thumbnail a reality and sell Henry his dream army :)
That customs charge tho... oof
Prince Tarkus looks awesome, really nicely painted Lucas.
Good luck with your mission guys
It would be truly amazing if you got any kind of anything with Henry through this while process. I feel like it also being a charity project would really motivate him to become part of this in some way. Good luck, fingers crossed!
I feel like I was just click baited and I am kind of annoyed
Your dedication is unreal. Truly you are blessed by the emperor himself
I feel for Henry
You're a hero for doing this Emil!
Well, here is my little contribution to the project. I hit the like button, and I'm writing something. Now, go and do your part and paint some beautiful miniatures!
Holy wow your dedication is AMAZING!
@Henry needs this...would love to see a proud King of the nerds with a legit full 10,000 Custodes army
I mean if Henry doesn't want it, I'd take it.
Absolutely no clickbait
the funny thing about this is Henry Cavill said in an interview he subscribes to Squidmar Miniatures.
This is a joke right? 😵
Sauce pls
Liked and now commenting for charity. Also, I liked the way you smoothed over the Nighthaunt army was basically worthless because Mortal Realms is still in everyone's rear-view. I worried that might've been a misstep so I'm glad it won't be wasted.
Great job to make some kid happy. I can imagine how he will be happy when get all that. Two years ago I was lost all my minis and books and recently one friend give me one of my minitaure that was forgoten at his home. i was really happy like I got priceless thing. 🥰 So make that kid happy and show us :)
Classic Swedish Customs, bleeding people dry as always 👌
Jag vet
You want rules for the minis?
I am a gamedesigner of 20 years experience (oh god why am I so old?!?) and I worked on tabletop games in this time.
I would do a nice hero-based skirmish game for you guys, so people are able to have a ton of fun moving the awesome minis while watching them :)
Customs was like "Time to make money for no other reason than we want too."
That Jurassic Park pinball machine in the back is incredible.
I have no idea what any of these armies were but I still found this very interesting
Yeeeeeeeah!! This serie is getting better and better!!
Postnord is the worst! i feel your pain there
4001 dollars. I really laughed.
That elfish mini painted by Lukas..soooo good. Man he was already masterclass on day 1 in this channel but he's even improving.
Definitely need to throw something in to sweeten the pot for Henry. Might even be able to do a video with him talking about warhammer and painting.
strange timing im about to do a charity stream painting up an entire Custodes army in 12 hours this saturday the 1st. would love if you could drop by and say hi. i may also know a guy who knows mr cavill.
