Hello friends! Due to this video I've had a friend start a Disciples of Caliban army. Due to postage errors on his decals, I decided to take a crack at making some STLs he could print. Four hours and ten tutorials later, they exist! And now I'm making them available to the public for free!
Six standard variants and two Phobos variants are available for free on my Cults3d page (sorry, no Terminator pauldrons, couldn't find a good template). While I have not test printed them, they should theoretically work. Technically I was supposed to wait for my friend to test the print, but fuck it! Feel free to use them on your own Disciples of Caliban or use them for a custom army!

Im loving this content, ngl these lore mixed with painting guides are sweet.
Thank you! I'm very glad to hear the format is well liked 😁
Watching you paint lesser-known chapters while discussing their lore is a great way to relax. Thank you for bringing these schemes into the light of day.
And thank you for watching chief! I appreciate the support 😊
I love the Blood Angels being like “No one can know we drink blood…. How about we call our successor chapter the Blood Drinkers?”
This has me baffled too. Like if a chapter with a coke problem constantly denied it yet, their armor was white, their symbol was a mountain of snow and their name was the Line Snorters. But no, it's not them, it's the successor chapter called the Coke Addicts that's the problem. Seems legit
As somebody who's painted almost half a company's worth of Storm Wardens, I'm always happy to see them get more love. They really do have a striking scheme, though all the chapters you showed off are lovely.
Thank you very much! I hope I did your chapter justice. If you don't mind me asking, are yours painted grey like mine or silver? I'm very curious 👀
@TheLichsLaboratory You absolutely did! I went with silver instead of gray, my bird brain just likes the shininess of it. Though I should do the highlights with drybrushing like you did, edge highlighting them when they're fully painted is a pain. That seems so much faster!
Hell yeah, more lesser known event/chapter lore
Glad to have you back man. Hope you enjoyed 😁
I am LOVING this series. The mix of lore and really straightforward paint schemes is just brilliant and makes for a much more entertaining watch. It's really something that could be drawn out for many videos. I definitely agree about the need to paint straight lines for halved/quartered schemes. As someone painting an Angels Sanguine force who have a halved black and red scheme, a wonky or out of alignment line really sticks out. I do still find when painting squads of marines there's always going to be a few I've done where the helmet or chest isn't quite straight, and usually I've discovered that well after I've started doing washes and other finishing touches. I have found though that even in a worst case scenario, sponge chipping one of the chapter's primary colours and other weathering techniques can REALLY help with disguising those sorts of mistakes.
Thank you very much! And you're definitely right. I've certainly overweathered in the past but when you get it just right no one notices the small mistakes
that Disciples of Caliban pattern is very cool! a great layout for custom marines chapters and honestly a great looking option for Dark Angel 40k or Killteam
Yeah it's a very cool pattern 😁
3D printing sure is a way to lift some of these obscure chapters out from the pages of the books. The lack of decal was always what kept me from many chapters.
Definitely! Even if you don't have a printer yourself, getting bits on etsy or a printing service is easier than it's ever been, which really helps in army/faction diversity
I had a friend that really liked the Storm Wardens. I'll have to show this to him
The storm lords look very cool
They're very cool! Not just in design but lore as well. I feel like you could get some really cool conversions going there
This is another great painting guide/lore talk
Thanks chief 😁 These lore guides are fun and easy to produce as well
thank you so much for including the disciples of caliban iconography guide. Since custom transfers are different for me to obtain. I’m definitely deranged enough to try it out for my army.
Glad to help! My guide is a bit amateurish but it should be better looking than what I managed with some practice. God speed you crazy bastard 😁
Hey friend. This may be a very random reply on a month old message, but you're still working on Disciples of Caliban I ended up making some custom pauldron STLs for people to use. I made them for a friend but remembered you were working on DoC as well so hopefully this could make things easier for you as well! cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/disciples-of-caliban-pauldrons-regular-phobos
awesome video can you please do one on how to paint marines errant's metallic scheme
Unless the Astartes Praeses becomes a topic for a video, I don't think I'd be painting Marines Errant any time soon. But I can give you this text guide on how I'd do it
>start with a black primer and either brush on a bright silver or spray it on
>paint the white half of the armor with a light grey
>drybrush the light grey with a white
>paint the things like gun casing and joints with a dark grey and the other metal bits with a silver
>wash the whole mini with a black wash while wicking away pooling wash from the large surfaces
>use a blue speedpaint or contrast paint diluted 1:1 with a glaze medium and glaze it over the silver panels to get a metallic blue (the brighter silver on the surface the better the effect is)
>paint the eyes red and do the heraldry, either with freehand or apply a decal
@@TheLichsLaboratory thanks
For the 2k sub special you should read all 77 books in the Liber Tempest.
I'll put out a full audiobook style narration for you to enjoy on demand you sadistic bastard 🤗 ❤
I like this format a lot.
So cool to see someone do a paint guide for the dark sons. Definitely a bucket list item to get an army of them or novamarines painted one day.
I hope I did them justice 😅
@@TheLichsLaboratory They look awesome. the question is when i attempt to recreate them using your guide will i do your painting guide justice lol.
Amazing content. As a Scot I need to get me some storm wardens. Mad dog is also a class drink here
I love your videos. The mix of lore and painting is executed perfectly. Very entertaining.
Thank you very much! 👍
Thank you so much for the content.
In my opinion, the only channel on which little-known chapters are painted, where, as a result, you can see in miniature how it all looks, and not in the picture from GW. And if you like it, then a tutorial on how to paint it. Otherwise, there are only legions of founders everywhere.
I wish there were more traitors in the warband)))
As a lore hound who originally got started buying and painting warhammer minis to use them in Dark Heresy, Black Crusade and the other FFG d100 rpgs; Thanks man. Subscribed.
Thank you friend! Glad to have you here 😎
Definitely make this a recurring thing - these videos are awesome both as painting tutorials for niche legions and as a fun thing to look upon.
The painting in this is really great man! Not to mention all the lore 👍
Thanks man. Official 40k lore is usually nit my thing but I'm really enjoying all of this lesser known side content
Another banger of a video friend, keep em coming
Thanks friend 😎👍
Love your videos man, so funny and good to see some good ways to paint a force quickly
Thank you friend! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself 😎
These videos are awesome. Lore. meme, speed painting of obscure Chapters? Perfection.
Edit: wait a sec. Is this Pokémon Colosseum music?
Thank you chief! And in the bottom left of all of my videos I put what song is playing and the source. It's Pyrite Town from Colosseum, so good ear 👍
These DoC look a lot better than the recent short. Nice and dark! And clean, as always.
And GW really needs to come out with new decal sheets whenever they make new successors! xD Some of these designs are almost insane to try and freehand! Almost makes me wish I'd decided on either just straight black or silver, instead of the black & green split. Consecrators would be easier emblem to freehand, and crossed swords already exists as decals. lol Thankfully, a lot of the old boys on BolterAndChainsword put together some decal sheets people could print out (if they could find any Testors decal paper..). ^_^ That's a really nice tut for the freehand!
Thank you! And I agree. I actually did model some DoC pauldron STLs and put them up on Cults3d for free for my friend's DoC army. No termie pads sadly since I couldn't find a good template for one, but it's had a good number of downloads so I'm glad it's helping people lol
Just discovered this channel and am loving it, not only do I get to learn about more obscure space marines successors I get to learn how to paint them!
Great video and paint jobs! I love it when smaller chapters that are less known are covered/shown
I totally agree! That's why I love doing this series 😁
this was such a great video! Once again I say that this format works really nicely, and covering snippets of small chapters really does feel like a history lesson I actually can pay attention to. I might need to use some of these smaller chapters' colour distributions to influence my own successor chapter...
Keep it up, this was great!
Thanks a lot man! Always appreciate the support 😁
Like a lot of others said, I really enjoy the format of Lore and painting in the same video like that!
Thank you friend! All feedback is greatly appreciated 😁👍
Great combo of lore, painting and entertainment. Keep it up!
Dude your commentary is getting better and better. Actually loving these videos. Can’t wait to see more random chapters. You need to do a video based on cringe OC deviant art chapters
Someone has been peeping at my schedule I see 🤫
@@TheLichsLaboratory YESSS
I love seeing the obscure chapters get some love. I painted the Inceptors, the victims of the Euxcine Incident.
I love when the more obscure chapters get some love 😄
Your painting and conversion ability are awesome mate, would love to see you convert some fallen angels
Thank you friend 😎👍
@@TheLichsLaboratory another idea could maybe be forgotten war bands for chaos like the sons of malice or maybe a video like this on the badab war
11:07 We all just got See Dis’d
This is an awesome video format! It's really refreshing to see someone painting chapters other than the main ones and hearing the lore at the same time
Glad you liked it! 😁
I know these guys, glad to see them painted up
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Thank you dude!
No, thank you for watching ☺
Just subscribed. Great content. Lore + painting videos are a master class combination.
Thanks chief! Glad you like it 😁
Good quality content, lore & painting! Keep it up and you will be a superstar soon!
Thank you very much! 😁
Should’ve made a kilt for the Storm Wardens.
At the time I was making these vids I wasn't doing conversions, just paint. Still. I think I'd do a cloak to match that popular artwork of the Storm Wardens that I think is from the Deathwatch RPG
"Blood Drinker here, gotta say i really appreciate the great paint job but can ya lay off the slander? My chapter doesnt drink babies, hell just yesterday i pulled an schola's worth of kids out of a burning building. As for thr Disciples of Caliban theyre great guys. One time we were taking fire on Magadoe VI, traitors on all side, we were about to have to use our combat knives. Then the traitors pissed off. Just a few minutes later the Disciples of Caliban showed up, covered in shit, gore and soot. They used their entire chapter to back us up. Poor bastards kept apologizing for leaving and not helping. Big hearts on those guys."
- Sergeant Asinus, 3rd Company Blood Angels
I hope they gave the Lion his hair back, given his STC male pattern balding he needs it more than the Disciples of Caliban
Savage 🤣
"Their habit of [drinking blood] ... hides a *dark secret* " 😅
you had to search for that three dimensional render of an Asari™ (an alien species from the hit trilogy Mass Effect™ developed by BioWare™ and published by Electronic Arts™) getting railed then save it and edit it into this video
cool video i like it
I deleted it I swear 😐
The Heavenfall blade of the Disciples of Caliban's first Grand Master is now wielded by the Grand Master of another Unforgiven chapter- the Consecrators. These guys don't seem to be listed on any collection of Chapters of the Achilus crusade, which is a pity, because their entire 3rd company is MIA in Jericho reach. I've just started an army of the Consecrators' 3rd Company, which is how I ended up watching this video (you don't get much more obscure than nobody knowing where you are- and I'm trying to work out if there's a canonical campaign badge for the Achilus crusade). Your tip about using a dark grey mid tone as a base for black might be game changing for my (mostly black) army!
Very cool! Consecrators were pretty heavy competition to get into a video since they're so damn cool. And I hope it works out for you like it does for me. It really helps prevent that panel line shading from getting lost in too deep of a black. My go-to trifecta is Vallejo Black Grey, Neutral Grey, and Sky Grey. Works wonders with the new formulation of Nuln Oil or Army Painter Strong Tone as the job requires👍
It would be cool to do a video on the lost chapters on that list
That Storm Warden Librarian was like "Remeber, Battle Brothers, the Emperor says dying is gay"
I would love to see your take on the punishers and perhaps some other obscure chaos warbands.
Obscure Chaos warbands were definitely a contender for a video subject and something I'd love to do at some point. And putting that pic of a Punisher was a mistake. I knew someone would ask me to paint it 🤣
Ah, yes, Subjugators: when you want something *gone*.
last time it felt like the people in the tyrannical crusades were just kinda there for happenstance, but this group? they're all unhinged psychos- and i love it! im glad to see another one of these videos come out so soon, and im excited to see more! (maybe you could swap between assault intercessors and normal intercessors depending on what vibe the chapter gives you :3)
i cant help but think, this is going to be the sickest deathwatch army when you finish this series! hope the primaris treat you well haha
Yeah I'm really fond of the Subjugators. I just imagine them proudly reporting the job is done but the planet is reduced to ashes. Like "dude I just asked you to water my plants while I was gone..."
And maybe in 700 years when my backlog is done, I'll make a Deathwatch army with every chapter I cover lmao
@@TheLichsLaboratory Interestingly there are a few people out there who have done deathwatch schemes where each marine is in his individual chapter's heraldry, with only the DW shoulder pad and left arm silver. Though I don't think there's any lore to support it, who's to say that one particular watch fortress of deathwatch can't consider the blackening of their armour to be a metaphorical change rather than a physical repainting. Maybe in 700 years all you'll have to do is pop a shoulder off each of these marines you've been painting and replace it with a deathwatch pad :D
I don't know why but I had thought the Storm Wardens were White Scar successors.
I can kinda see it 🤔
You're really really cool
I think you're pretty cool too 😎
🔥🎸🔥
I love the style of painting shown in these videos. Was thinking of trying a doom eagle with a similar basecoat and drybrush before a wash. Would you do anything different for silver armour?
Thank you! My only real suggestion would be to make sure your base coat silver and highlight silver are different enough in brightness to avoid looking too similar when you're done. Otherwise you'd lose your highlights and end up wasting a little time. Something a twinge darker like a gunmetal as a base, then a bright silver drybrush before a black wash for example. Just varies on the particular paints you use but if you can hit a recess color, base color, and a highlight, it'll look great
@@TheLichsLaboratory Thanks for the reply, I think ill do lead belcher base then drybrush with runefang steel. I feel like a mid tone might cause too much of a mix. Also ive had a wet pallete for ages but never opened it. Your paints seem to always be so smooth, Do you literally just put paint on the pallete then drag the brush everytime to get a smooth result?
@@nuz4209 Of course mate, I'm always happy to help. Leadbelcher base to Runefang drybrush would be exactly as described so that's perfect. Just tweak it a bit if it isn't quite what you wanted, and don't forget that washing the minis will alter the color slightly as well.
As for the wet palette tech, when I load my brush, I always take some sort of test stroke. I used to do it on my hands or on the base of the mini but these days I find myself in the habit of doing it on the palette. It really helps me get a good grasp on paint consistency before putting it to an important bit. It's the same way Duncan Rhodes works with his brush if you watch him paint which makes sense since I watched a lot of his videos when I learned to paint.
A wet palette is definitely worth using for any level of painter though. It really helps paint stay usable longer which leads to saving money in the long run and much less stress trying to paint before your paint dries up which is a godsend when you're working on intricate freehands. Plus half dried paint can get pretty chunky which can get up in your brush. I used a homemade one for years until it vanished so now I'm reluctantly using a proper one 😒
@@TheLichsLaboratory Thanks will have a play around!
@@nuz4209 Glad to be of help friend. Practice makes perfect! 😎
Wait, Storm wardens dont have silver shoes? What the fuck? I had no idea.
There seems to not really be a concrete interpretation given how similar grey and silver are as colors. It twists even more if you color a 2d picture since you'd use grey to paint metals. I'm personally in the "whatever you think looks cooler" camp
More questions if you have the time to answer. Currently attempting to recreate the dark sons scheme and wanted to know what green you used? Im using Vallejo intermediate green, which looks like the right colour but i think it too bright for the white highlights to pop. Also what medium do you use for the nuln wash?
The green I used is Vallejo Flat Green 70.968. The wash I used to tint it was GW Contrast Ork Flesh diluted 1:3 or 1:4. The Nuln Oil wash was diluted with Vallejo Glaze Medium
@@TheLichsLaboratory Thank you :) do you use glaze medium for the contrast too? or just water?
@@nuz4209 Contrast medium for the contrast, glaze medium for everything else
@@TheLichsLaboratory Thanks :)
@@nuz4209 No problem chief

Hello
Howdy friend 👋
Not into the hobby just like the mashing together of parts
It's good fun, can't blame you 😏
