As a friend of Niklas, really really happy to see this. Trust me Squidmar followers, if one guy deserves this potion of hobby karma, he's the one.
He seems like an awesome guy I’m glad he got a splash of good Karma in his life
I've no doubt he deserves this if the squid guys chose him, but he really didn't show much gratitude at all IMO. Maybe it's the editing but I dunno, I expected a different attitude...
@@PraetorGix When something sounds too good to be true .. it usually is , probebly expected someone to tell him no it was only for the camera. My guess is it wont hit home until he is home with the army and realise Squidmar is not calling to bring it back.
@@PraetorGix Also people are not used to be on camera, it is pretty awkward to have your reactions filmed, which of course hinders spontaneity. It's a big channel too, so there's that pressure. Then not everybody will act like in the movies to show their happiness... although this has become what we "expect".
I get your point but catching somebody off guard + the camera surely tames down the "observable" response ;)
I think it's cool Emil and his guys don't put the emphasis on "how" a response should be with abusive montage, but just take it as it comes !
Cheers
These giving videos are some of my favorites, but I really like the twist of letting Niklas participate in the built/paint!
It made the video so fun to record as well! :D happy you liked it!
Absolutely agree.
I greatly enjoy watching my favorite content creators give back to their community.
It truly warms my heart.
Thanks for the great video Squidmar(and co!)
I agree too. Nice improvement to make this army his army and not just an army someone gifted to him. Really cool format and It is cool that squarespace support these kind of videos
Collaboration is always cool with squidmar aren’t they?

Having the reach, willingness and ability to do good things for good people - If that's not the definition of success then I don't know what is. Loved this vid!
Happy you enjoyed it man :)
I heard that you're supposed to remind people to like the video and subscribe if you aren't already!
Already done ✔
oh snap ive been doing it wrong all this time?
One thing- the bones on the dragon wings would've looked reeaaaally good if they were painted bone as well.
I have to say, i love this kind of videos because it's shows kindness, love for the hobby and community that you have, but as someone of the south of Europe it baffles me how little emotion people show with this kind of surprises, I would lose my shit if someone does all this for me (I am sure he is beyond grateful, not saying that)
Chock can show it self in many different ways :D
If seemed like he never stopped smiling. I would have cried in his place. Happy tears, of course.
Classic northern reply :)
we northerners show emotions in a different way :)
Even in the same countries you can see the difference. In France for example people from the Northern part don't show many emotions whereas the ones from the Southern part are so intense. I myself am from a Northern country, but my girlfriend is latina and gosh are we opposite when it comes to showing emotions. XD
The wargaming hobby community is lucky to have people like you! Awesome work 👍
I love how this channel has slowly just become a window into one guy’s incredible local hobby community. This is what TH-cam needs more of!
I can barely paint one miniature in 24 hours.. Well done!
I cannot wait for Squidmar to start his new show, Extreme Makeover: Warhammer Edition.
Seriously generous of you to do this, and definitely a cool challenge to try.
You're the epitemy of what success should look like, what a wonderful gesture of well deserved kindness. I hope Niklas loves his models as much as we love watching your content, couldn't stop smiling throughout!
I recently put a Start Collecting box for the Flesh Eater Courts together. There are some _old_ kits in there, the Zombie Dragon was all mould lines. Big respect to you for putting together *SO MANY*
I remember how tragic it was to see all his really nicely painted armies sold on the facebook site in Sweden. (Some of those were close to or even were golden demon if i remember correctly) This made me so happy to see he got something back after all the bad things that got in the way in life, huge thanks Emil for doing this to someone in the hobby who really deserved it!
Building the mother of all armies here,Jack! Can't fret over every mold line!
Dammit dude i love this channel, i lve loved watching this channel grow from just Emil to now having a fully fleshed-out team, a bunch of pals that come in a help out, and all the good you all try and do. I originally just came here fro the space wolf video you back in like 2019 when you were still starting(ish) the channel, but hot damn i stayed because youre all so damn wholesome and amazing for the community. Keep it up, love you all the Squidmar team!!!
yep, hard work, talent and generosity !
I agree one hundred percent. His work and videos are excellent but the wholesome and good vibes from giving back to the community keep me coming back for more. I hope Emil and company have continued success and reach greater heights.
Just looking at Niklas happy face is priceless. Great respect to the team!
So damn wholesome! Love these videos, Niklas’s smile is just beautiful:)
"... I have to bring out every tool that I have in my tool box..." Hey, Lucas seems like a pretty sound guy; it certainly isn't fair to call him a "tool". 😆
What a cool looking army, and so many dragons.
Such a nice gesture :) Also love that store in Umeå, always make sure to drop by when it town there!
Us too!
Awesome stuff! I had a little heart attack watching the priming next to the car
White shirts and yolo! all you need to prime!
Squidmar practically owns this dude now. Now he has to do anything and everything Squidmar tells him to do. It’s all fun and games in the beginning but in a month it’ll be “hey, I need this army built and painted TO QUALITY! Make it happen!” And this dude will have no choice but to do it. Congrats Squidmar, a smart pick up.
I'm well on the way to have a slave army 🥳🥳
@@SquidmarMiniatures that’s why I like you’re channel. Always honest. A great pickup for the Squidmar team.
Ngl if Squid mar was that kind of guy he could easily make Niklas do that stuff, build, paint, etc. for free. But this was wholesome and I don’t think Squid mar would do that.
Seeing just how much this meant to him made the video for me. An awesome dude helped by awesome people! You guys are the best!
Gotta love how some of the grimmest of grimdark games have some of the nicest, most awesome people behind them. This video was so heartwarming. Really wonderful job by everyone, and that color scheme is amazing!
You guys are really awesome. It makes me so happy for Niklas. By the way it reminds me of the "Super Toyrace" just for GW Stuff 😅
The whole team that stand behind you is sooooo kind! I have so much respect for you!
This is super nice of you and the team, keep paying forward.
Oh Man I would absolutely love a gift like this, you guys are absolutely amazing artists and people… keep doing what you’re doing guys…
Wonderful collaboration with so many nice artists to help. Fantastic
I like this type of Warhammer videos, thanks for it, was nice to watch, and give me more motivation to finish building my army :) I like building my Fyreslayers but I am a very slow building with my cleaning und gluing.
Edit: I forgot to say the painting job is amazing, looks so cool.
Love the kindness shown in this video. The muted reactions to generous gifts are such a contrast with the US where people would be screaming or crying in response. Lol. That stoic demeanour is not as good for videos but still a great thing. Ha ha. Good on ya squidmar and all your team
Amazing!! Spreading so much joy!! Well done!!
My boy Niklas went full poggers at 9:50 he seems like a really nice dude
Awesome work team, amazing seeing folk giving back!
It’s these kind of videos that make me smile ear to ear, you guys are great. The amount of enthusiasm you guys have for these kind of videos is amazing
Outstanding stuff! Love seeing people give back and take care of their communities.
I love seeing acts of kindness, stuff like this just makes me extremely happy to see :)
I really love this. People helping people through hobbying.
After a really stressful day, what an amazing video this was to watch! So happy for Nikolas, well done guys what an amazing thing to do!
Those wings looks fantastic, it really pops.
such heart warming to see you brighten peoples lives!
This was awesome of you to do, Emil! You're really doing some good in this hobby and your generosity is great to see 👍👍
This is easily the coolest way to use a sponsor for a video - thank you for such a creative use of a blank check from a sponsor ive ever seen. Super dope.
Well, this video just made my day. Someone doing something nice for someone they barely know. Well done. I built one of those dragons for my Vampire Count army in 8th edition and it probably took me 4 months to build and paint. And dang, it must be a headache to pack those dragons for shipping.
so so awesome, what an amazingly kind gesture
You guys looked like you had fun every step of the way. There was no way building and painting that many minis in that short span of time was easy, but you did a fantastic job. And doing all this for someone else as a gift is incredible.
Nothing better than getting together with your mates and get some paint and hobby done. Even better when you help each other out. Great effort guys!
This is why this is an awesome community,all coming together to help out a friend well done Emil
Whooooooo...
This paint job is fkng amazing.
Grymt jobbat Emil!!!
Absolutely astonishing! This is awesome!
Brilliant. We need more of this in the world.
This is something really awesome you did Squidmar. The army looks amazing too. Great job everyone.
Definitely the best type of video. Heart warming
This, this is magical.
Beyond that I’m speechless
One cannot help but admire and love these videos.
This video made my day and it reminds me to make a present sometimes to someone that doesn't expect this...just to receive a smile. Thank you guys, this video is awesome 🤘
This video is incredible in so many ways. And the army looks fantastic. I'm so moved
Awesome, really love the contrast on an army wide level that the bright red dragon wings gives.
This is awesome. Fantastic paint jobs. I wish they ending b-rolls was longer. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Man, this is awesome. I'm so glad to see you giving back to the community and a person in need. Definitely going to jump on Patreon and do my part to help support future efforts like this.
Such a wholesome video. Awesome work!
i really want this army, nice done !!!!! good painting!!!!
This was a fun video. I wish everyone well and hope there lives are filled with joy.
such an amazing gesture by you and your team! that is awesome!!!
Lucas: “hardly working”
Me on my lunch break at work.
“Same” XD
Love the colour combination!
Another great video and epic gesture! Love the fact you involved him in the entire process. Keep up the great work!
All of you are so amazing... I'm glad I found your channel here in TH-cam... Keep it rollin' guys 👍
Those are like little work of arts. Amazing
I used to watch a few squidmar videos just in the background. Now I actively watch them and can't wait for new squidmar videos to come out. So good
I'm in looooove with this army, it's so beautiful, your guys so good !!!
Awsome video Squidmar! I really like these painting Challenge videos, it really motivates me to paint my own pile. And how Awsome it must be for Niklas to have a whole army painted up by the Squid gang!
Videos like this are the reason we as a community need to band together and make sure you hit the 550K sub goal this year! You deserve to be the biggest hobby channel :)
So sweet and wholesome big fan off the channel and these types of ideas!
That is such a gorgeous army, and a really nice thing to do. You guys are awesome!
So much kindness! Ans a gorgeous army yo boot! 😍
the best kind of video! amazing work to all!
Such a superb thing to do, and for a great chap.
This was super generous of you guys. Well done.
This was a feel good moment I needed today! Not only has it motivated me to paint some models, but it reminded me to bring make someone's day tomorrow
These are my favourite videos! Looks amazing!
Amazing army, you're all the nicest guys!
Haven't ever played warhammer but watch your videos when I can. Love the work you do. My wife and I are thinking of starting a adepta sororitas army together. Never painted before so hopfully with time they will look as good as yours.
You are a very good person, he deserved that great gift. You have a very caring soul.
These kinds of videos are great! Never stop doing them
Crazy project, love it
Just new to the channel and loving the vibe of giving!! Niklas you rock!! Team Squidmar you conquer!! Really really enjoy this...keep it up...keep it genuine!! The more the better.🥳
Niklas seems like he deserves it! Also the light blue and bright orange compliment each other really well!
This is why I love your channel man! You are all heart!
wow that army looks so sick!
so awesome! Love the awesome work you guys do
Not gonna lie I’m a little jealous, but, the dude absolutely deserved it for all the contributions he’s made to his community. If everyone thought about others instead of themselves and played war games, there’d be no need for the real thing.
I mean... WOW! just wow! crazy good video
You guys are truly amazing people!
Emil, you are, without a doubt, once of the nicest people on youtube.
These came out awesome!
i wish i had friends that enjoyed painting and building. looks like fun painting and building with someone else.
top work guys. keep spreading your successes, you have an excellent space in the modeltube. long may it continue
Doing such great things to give back to the people who need it in the hobby great thing
Man I'm speechless, your channel is amazing!
You guys are great! Keep the excellent job!
