Warhammer Diorama CHALLENGE! Battle For Macragge Ultramarines vs.Tyranids with Squidmar Miniatures
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Building an epic diorama to match a piece of artwork from Warhammer 40k. I use all of the skills and hobby materials at my disposal to capture the mood of this incredible scene. On this giant display base, a space marine is fighting a desperate battle to defend his homeworld from the tyranid hive fleet. Will his planet survive?
This video is part of a collaboration with Squidmar miniatures! Check out his half of the collaboration here: • Surprise Miniature Cha...
In this video, Emil has challenged me to adapt a piece of warhammer 40k art into a diorama. The picture reminds me of the battle for macragge storyline from 4th edition 40k, so that's what I went with! I made a winter battleground scene, and I did my best to paint the marine the way that he is represented in the art!

I love how calm and wholesome this channel is
Agreed I had no problem letting my 8 year old watch with me.
He sounds like Mr Rogers, but smiles like The Joker.
Kind of reminds me of Bob Ross ...
Right!? Bob ross of minis.
Your not wrong
Thanks for the shout outs, Brent!
Of course! Awesome tip on that light molding paste, that stuff alone might help me tackle some more snow bases in the future.
Honestly he sounds like bob ross of minis, but he so calmly just, “let’s add some of that nice blood. More... more blood”

I love how you miniature RUclipsrs all do colabs or give each other shout outs all the time
It's a dying art, we need to stick together to keep analog gaming of all types alive.
@@OGDweeb I applaud thy worthy effort, sir
I think the Miniatures RUclipsrs are one of the healthiest communities around. Everyone supports everyone, it's great!
It's a wholesome community!
Everyone seems happy here
So first can i ask something
I am starting the hobby and I am starting with space marines, what is the vehicle I should get?
I got the Warhammer 40K Command edition ($165) and I think I want to get a vehicle with it
Right now I choose the predator tank, should I change it to a rhino? Or a drop pod? Maybe a vindicator? ( the land raider kinda goes out of budget tho)
Just asking!
You did such an awesome job with this! The base is fantastic. Be careful with the knife under the table! 😎
Dude, don't go pinning knives under people's tables with exacto blades!!! :-)
Would love to see Squidmars attempt at this also.
@@rahotep789 this please! @Squidmar Miniatures
I really like your honesty, for example when you tell us that you messed up or aren't happy with the results but you keep going, trying to learn from it... great attitude!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching Ray, it's awesome to hear that you appreciate my approach to this stuff :-)
I’m having a pretty hard time in life rn, but your video gave me 30mins of happiness and contentment. Thank you.
Ahhh, I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're able to search out the things that make you happy... I guess I better hurry up and make a new video! :-)
Stay strong It all gets better Just like goobertown says : just have to work through the ugly phases to get to beautiful phase. Life can be similar to miniature painting. Stay with it and you will get to the happy phase. Stay happy. Cheers :)
Hang in there =)
Keep searching out those good things. Hope you’re doing okay :)
Stay strong brother, whatever has you down, just remember there's always someone there for you, even if it's just a stranger from a different part of the world, keep being amazing! 🖤
Awesome Collaboration with Squidmar Miniatures! Make sure to check out his half :-)

His voice is like Bob Ross in the grim darkness of the far future.
Interesting imagery.
When he talked about "happy accidents" during the canvas paint... The references are strong with this one :P :D

Standing on the high ground?
*Obi Wan has entered the chat*
"Hello There"
"It's over Tyranids! I have the high ground!"
Yeah, coming home from work and finding a new Goobertown video uploaded 6 Minutes ago rocks!...
Hehehe, happy to help! Have a great evening :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies I will, I am going to get some paint on a few Tempestus Scions for my kill team^^
Oh by the way, do you got a Patreon account where a fan could support you?
1:25 "If you feeling super brave" and the face your cat did in background hahaha :D
Oh, and concerning the source for this pic: It's from the 6th Edition Codex: Space Marines, p. 20, the artist being the great Paul Dainton.
Edit: Oops, just realised some nice folks were quicker. Still, verified ... yay!
I'm pretty sure that the page number is new information! :-) Thanks so much for tracking this down. I was able to find Paul Dainton on instagram and I sent him a quick note thanking him for the sweet artwork and inspiration.
Dude… this was the most chill video on mini painting. Learned a ton about the hobby and life in general. Thanks man. 😊
Brent you are literally the Bob Ross of miniature painting, your voice is so chilled man it's relaxing 😂 and you make the painting look easy 👌
This is a fine example of a very interesting subject , in which the lecturer , focuses on the Subject , to the Exclusion of Him-self ! No tendency to focus on his face or personality issues .
Better to be left admiring the professionalism of the presenter, than have him, his Voice, and his Face featured , ad nauseam !
I love how you turned into Bob Ross when painting the canvas. Thanks for keeping it so chill. Loved this!
Was so Hyped for this vid. I love your Challenges :)
Wonderfull new Studio
Hey thanks! Exciting times :-)
I love his smile that clearly says: "I am so happy to do what I love right now."
“…being proud of my work but never content…” I love this quote from you. I will keep this in mind on my journey. Thanks for another great video.
Dude, I absolutely adore your videos. Waiting for my Squig Herd and paints to come in the mail any day now, gonna start painting.
NICE! Have you decided on squig colors yet? I'm getting a hankering to paint some squigs soon myself :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies I want the first couple of miniatures to be painted by the book, so red is my choice. When I'm feeling comfortable, then I'll experiment.
wow. I just use watered Basic Acrylic.
Надо же, какие люди)
I'm honestly impressed with how accessible that absolutely stunning base is. Whenever I see an awesome diorama I always automatically assume that it took monumentous amounts of work and experience, but the mileage you were able to get from just a few materials and techniques is awesome. I'm thinking that I'm going to create a small diorama like this to memorialize each of my D&D characters once they either die or live to see the end of their journey. Heck, maybe I'll buy a duplicate miniature for the diorama and repaint them so I can have a comparison of how my painting skills have improved.
I mean this in the most complimentary way possible. You are like the Bob Ross of miniature painting.
Nitpick time! Both Marines are Right Handed, it's just that the figurine Marine is holding the weapon with his off hand from the foregrip, as opposed to keeping it in his main hand with the pistol styled grip.
Just got finished posting the same nitpick lol. You must be at least a semi gun enthusiast too😉
I love that he'd apparently used an X-acto knife to stab the challenge into the underdesk. The "Last Stand" heroism is the heart of all that I love about Warhammer. You don't fight because you'll win; you fight because it's RIGHT.
I love how much this community interacts with each other
I like how you say "gore" and "shrapnel" so calmly, lol.
Like he has headphones in and is watching Bob Ross paint while he paints and makes these videos lol, its gold
I suddenly feel the urge to sleep.
Not in that "it's boring" way, no, it's in that "peacefully relaxing" way, the good kind of sleep.
"I'm pretty sure I know what this is"
I was very much expecting you to go with something more like "This marine is loading his bolter, preparing to avenge Hoppy, his pet gamma-bunny."
These videos are so relaxing it’s like Bob Ross but mini painting
This is like Bob Ross but for Warhammer fans
The way you said blood, chilled me. It's always you quiet, nice ones...
A few details you could've added to aid the realism; 1) space marine settled into the snow, the snow around his shoes as he's heavy, but also footprints. 2) Dirt in the snow, the snow is very clean white but noticeably damaged on one side, if he was running around in muddied and blown up dirt, he would trample brown into the snow. 3) The dirt seems very single-coloured too, and although you don't see much of it, I would assume it'd be more littered with little rocks or clumps of varying dirt patternation.
Extra potential: Although you painted the light hitting the marine, the groundwork doesn't share the same lighting details (being more blue and yellow snow), however, if you had painted the marine without lighting on his armour, and coated or applied a reflective layer, then you can use a real light source and darkened covering/dark room, to create that dynamic lighting, which will realistically hit the model. Painting models to be responsive to real-world light and not have their details baked on is a good touch of extra realism. Image an almost mirror-like gun detail, but instead of painting in a fake reflection, you take some strong mirror-quality paint and apply that. Suddenly the gun now reflects the real-world elements a bit.
Nice diorama, well done. :)
I got a *slightly* different vibe from it compared with what you describe. You see, I remember Macragge. I remember (some of) the lore, the box sets, the White Dwarf battle report and the events in my local GW store. If you'll indulge me, this is the story that unfolded in my head as I was watching you put this piece together.
So, I see your diorama not as an alternate take on the artwork, but more a continuation of it. You can read about the whole battle for Macragge elsewhere on the internet. Suffice to say, the Ultramarine 1st company was given the task of defending the Northern polar fortress when Hive Fleet Behemoth struck. Wave after wave of the aliens were blasted back, but ultimately the 'nids gained entry and the fight degraded to a series of cramped tunnel fights. Contact was lost with the fortress.
A relief force subsequently arrives at the fortress. They are assualted by some remaining bugs, but fight their way through and find the fortress choked with the bodies. The first company has been killed to a man. Captain Invictus is found where he made is last stand with the remains of his command in the depths of the fortress. Zenos corpses choke the corridors for floors and floors. The task of clearing them is considerable. The numbers of the first company won't be replaced for over a century.
So, what about our protagonist? Well, his yellow/gold trim picks him out as a member of the 2nd company. This means he wasn't there. Oh sure, he may well have been doing something important, but when the first company made their last stand, when they were totally wiped out, when his comrades fought one of the most heroic actions in imperial history, he wasn't there.
Survivor's guilt.
I see this painting depicting the scene shortly after this. The clean up process. The back of the Tyranid invasion is broken, but there are still nids to root out and destroy. Our protagonist is part of this force. Cleanly and efficiently he works to destroy the last remains of that blasted host. Still, the guilt remains. He survives while they died.
He cannot bring them life.
He cannot bring them justice.
But by the God Emperor, he can bring them vengeance.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So, what for the diorama?
Well, the centuries pass and The Ultramarines' Primarch is returned to them. Our protagonist is one of the first to volunteer to step over the rubicon and don the Mk. X armour. Along with these events (a cause for rejoicing, surely?) however a dark force rises. One of the Dreaded Daemon Primarchs emerges from the warp to attack the Ultramarines. Once more, the fight for Macragge is fierce. We meet our protagonist as he stalks through the snow, hunting for heretics and traitors. As he reloads his bolt rifle however, he comes across a crater. An explosion has thrown up detritus left berried under the ice for hundreds of years. Preserved pieces of tyranid and human alike, mingled together. Memories flood back. This time will be different. This time, he *will* be there.
In memory of the fallen, and to atone for his own perceived sins, he seeks to cleanse Ultramar once more of its invaders.
For honour.
For glory.
For Macragge.
its like the bob ross of 40k out here. awesome
I think the mountain backdrop looks best out of context, but the grey ones really convey a sense of dread and claustrophobia!
Nice to see you too doing a challenge. You are both very good and helpful.
Hey Bo! Yeah it was great doing this little crossover episode, I'm glad I could get Squidmar onto the channel.
I always just interpereted the picture as "Yes, even just reloading looks glorious and hardcore with Space Marines doing it."
But man, now it feels... different, at least. Also, your cats both have a similar hair color to you, so, that's cute. 10/10 3 pts for each cat, 4 for the rest of this awesome assembly.
Your talking reminds me a bit of bob Ross :D
Keep it up, really enjoying it!
Hehehe, thanks for watching! :-)
I expected him to say "a little cloud that lives" at any point when he started doing the backdrops.
@@GoobertownHobbies 24:45 Happy accidents...
Bob ross also has some great tips to paint a backdrop ;)
^this. Never knew I wanted to hear Bob Ross talk about 40k
Absolutely love your approach to the hobby and these recent challenges have been fantastic. I watched Squidmar create his 'necro' scene last night and it was great. But your take on his challenge is a better watch due to your attitude to vids and the hobby. You have an attention to detail to your presentation that is lost to some other vloggers., You cover the highs and the lows. I look forward to every Goober update.
Oops thank you I have been in the hobby for about 12 years now but for the last few years I have been struggling with finishing my work. Even though I can paint excellent I have hit a hard places and I beat myself up and nit pick every little detail till I can't stand it. What you said it's better to be brave and just do it and learn from the process even if it doesn't match the vision you originally have. Also to be content with your work but always seeking improvements and to enjoy the journey. I just feel I've set bar so high and when I don't meet those expectations I have for myself it brings me low but you have re open my eyes. You can't learn and improve if you don't do. Also thank you to squdmar if you read these your wet palette work has really help me to put out some very beautiful pieces and help me advance my skills even further then I thought possible.
So am I weird for having a lamp that I place as the light source for my mini's turning off the other lights lights and taking a photo of my mini so I can know exactly how the light would cast shadows on it? I'm not very artsy so it helped me get an idea for how lighting works but I liked the step and now I do it for my more "important" figures.
As an art student, I know that study is an excellent way to learn how to build a new skill. Your method is great to develop a creative lens on lighting minis
You should never be content with the journey, but should be content with each piece you make. Perfection isn't the answer to creating art, its the enemy.
Your cat showing up in the videos puts the cherry on top
Another fantastic video and a great challenge. I enjoyed the other half of this challenge as well.
Well done on the diorama. I agree on your choice of back drops 100%. In my mind it looks like smoke billowing out of a fissure in the destroyed bunker. Perhaps the fissure the marine crawled out of after detonating the place. But now he's standing up, reloading, ready to fight more.
Nice! I like that take on it! I was also thinking about drawing a mushroom cloud way back in the distance in similar graytones...
I love this diorama and I always find my way back to this video. It looks really great and I’m still super amazed after my 7th watch.
just the grimdark of 40k of a space marine if being painted by such a wholesome and calm guy feels so wrong but yet so right
You should've painted the back drop first and then the smurf, to try and get a feel for the same rough approach. Ironically it probably would've been more work to paint him that way, but it would also have made you bolder in your approach.
I think you did a good job, the whole thing is evocative.
My favourite is the tundra/clear sky, I think the contrast of a nice day and a bloodbath is a little bit disturbing and goes a long way to provoke some thoughts.
100% agree with you, one thing that comes to mind for me is the 9/11 attacks back in 2001,and how blue the sky was.
I always found the combination of a nice day with the chaos that happened eerie.
Corking work, Goobertown Hobbies. Only recently found your video channel and thoroughly enjoy your narrations. Another splendid project :-)
Thanks so much, I'm really glad that you ended up here in Goobertown! :-)
I love that artwork of the Ultramarine, it looks so cool
Hi Bret! I know I'm very late to the party, but I wanted to make a recommendation, to be read with your new eyes from today looking back at the past, I guess?
You've spotted the light coming from behind to his left.
The reason you chose the backdrop is, to me, in part because the strokes are in the direction of the light (and then in part because the bleakness fits the story). That's what I'm sensitive to, anyway.
So one reco: once you know the light comes from behind-left, zenithal that way and take a picture without allowing yourself to add the usual "more light in the face to attract attention" etc. That'll help a lot with the lighter colors placement. ;)
Just a thought!
Oh, and a note that you've gotten me to make an inventory of all the (unpainted) minis I have going about the house to risk the roulette one of these days... Thanks! :-) I really hope to pick up the nerves to try it when my on-going project dulls out a bit.
Cheers.
Challenge met....and surpassed!!!! Fantastic result.
Bill
I was expecting the marine surrounded 5000 Tyranids around him. with a huge nuke under his feet with a timer with enough time on the clock to use all the ammo left in his gun and extra clips. while he is fighting in a puddle of his own blood. giving the diorama a golden name plate: "Challenge Accepted!"
Staying calm, clean room ... something to thrive to
Really enjoying these crossover episodes. Midwinter minis next? I bet they could give you a great speed challenge.
Hey James! I'm so glad that you're liking these! :-)
Midwinter Minis? "No comment"
That marine looks SO COOOOOL!!!!!
New Goobertown Video
Noice
Its a half hour long
Very double noice
Awww yeah! I was wondering why this video was taking so long, then I realized it was 30 minutes long :-) Thanks for watching!
I love the positivity in this video. This really helped make me feel better about my painting.
All parts of 40k lore are metal. ALL OF IT!!
The black and gray background is the best for sure, really makes the model pop and gives the landscape more depth. Looks great though!
TY! :-)
The entire First Company of the Ultramarines die defending the Northern Polar fortress. Calgar and the bulk of the Chapter were off world and return. It is an epic story.
Ah yes!! :-)
I liked the nasty effect of the wash, perfectly combined with the destruction scene.
Yes!!! It was only a matter of time until you started canvas painting. And you even made a Bob Ross reference! My man
"Either I'll learn something new and the model will look good, or I'll learn something new and the model will not look good" words to live by
Having a story behind helps to give order and direction to any paint job either minis, scale models, mecha, anime garage kits or any other. Thanks a lot for your video.
when peoole ask me who i watch while i build, you guys are my go to guys, thanks
As an "only Acrylic" painter....you just made my spouse mad cuz now I'm gonna buy oil paints to do washes with LOL!! Oh....and AMAZING job on everything. It's tied together very well!!
Your the Boss Ross of Warhammer. I love it
I love hearing you say gore and shrapnel so calm and pleasant. LoL 😊
Both are right handed. Once the figure is done reloading will grip the trigger with his right hand.. but still amazing job. litterally turning a block of wood into an exploded bunker with the lone survivor ready for more action.... once they reload. Lol love it!!!
I’m thinking about dipping my toe into painting some space marines, you’ve definitely inspired me, I just don’t know where to start with so many options, I dint play warahmmer. Just want to paint them
Awesome! The only way to improve is to step outside of our comfort zones. Truly inspiring.
Really awesome video! Thank you for the content Goobs :)
It’s so good! I think it’s perfect. You should be proud of your self
it is really cool to see so many hobbyists in your vids
and ofc great job on this diorama
I love how the cat hears the challenge and reacts at 1:23-1:30 🤣
Artwork is made by Paul Dainton. I think it was published way later then the Battle of Macragge box set but I'm not sure about that.
Thanks! I started following Paul Dainton on instagram, great artist! :-)
❤ at 13:30 he lays down something profound: "either I learned something new and the model will look good, OR, I learned something new and the model won't look good." Whichever way, something was learned 👍👍
*Edit: on a side note... I grew up watching Bob Ross paint on PBS. To me, this guy is the Bob Ross of 3D art. 👍❤
the challenge you gave squidmar was sick.
The beginning of this is so campy, I love it
it's the opposit, I found Squidmar because of you! Please go on with these incredible challenges.
That base is really amazing.
p.s. you are the reason why I'm studying English, avoid missing somenthing in your description
greatings from Italy
Goobertown teaching english? Hehehe I'm happy to help however I can :-) I'm glad that you've checked out squidmar, he's definitely worth watching. I go to him for help with swedish!
The painting in the background reminds me of a cloud of smoke. With the blackish parts representing an obscured tyranid ready to end the marine.
I always love your attitude towards your work. I find this much more appealing than all of the technical aspects. I've learned a lot of those from you too, but the enjoyment of the painting process (whether it works or not) is what it's all about.
Hey thanks sean! I'm not the best painter out there, but It's awesome that folks are finding something worth watching in these videos :-)
45 seconds in and I am already in love with this video
:-) damn swedish hackers!
Your new studio looks impressive.
Hehehe, thanks Mark- I'm really pumped about it!
@@GoobertownHobbies Sometimes a change of scenery or even just reorganizing a work space can get me motivated to get back into painting or building.
Great video and great collaboration. I look forward to seeing more in the future.
I like the yellow instead of the usual gold on the ultramarine, looks like the older style I saw when I first got into painting
This is the most soothing voice and encouraging message in all of the hobby.
Thumbs way up.
You are the Bob Ross of miniature painting. Love this channel. Love your work. I just got back into mini painting after years of being away. Your channel, and other channels you recommend, have been an inspiration to carry on. Thank you.
Hey Darby! I'm really happy that you're getting back into painting, keep at it!!! :-)
I think the marine by itself looks a bit out of place, and a whole squad in that style might look a bit wrong. But when you place it into context, it looks absolutely AMAZING
Very Bob Ross-esque !!! I like
The Battle for Macragge are still sung in the halls of my glorious wolves to this day.
You are the Bob Ross of the 40k world!
I think this work is awesome. I love the marine!
Thanks for this video! I appreciate you sharing your thought process through it all, and especially the “growth mindset” you have, like seeing mistakes as learning opportunities, and critiquing your work. It’s good to see you being proud of your work but also seeking to improve, knowing you can always grow and improve.
A great idea to try recreating a scene from a cool piece of art. I especially liked the base and the weathering on the Marine's legs. This inspired me to consider making a diorama of sorts as a backdrop to take photos of my painted D&D miniatures on. City, forest, mountain... 🤔
The figure and the painting are both right handed. In the painting, the marine is holding the gun by the pistol grip, in his right hand. On the mini, he's holding the gun farther up, away from the trigger, right where you would put your left hand if you are right handed. The difference in the two is the choice of hand that's being used to load the magazine, which is probably dictated by where he stores his magazine reserves, right side or left side. Great paint job!
You've got such a...Bob Ross adjacent vibe. I've watched three of your videos so far and I'm loving them, and learning so much. I'm loving this stuff!
I love the bob ross level commentary during the painting process
Just found this guy and he sounds like the bob ross of mini painting. Relaxing, soothing, and just watching this makes me want to put down the phone and start painting
It's awesome seeing all you guys intertwined! Lol and messing with each other!
