We've come quite a bit on the journey to a forgeworld titan. This week, we were offered a titan.... but...
This is part 2 of a video series where we trade from the cheapest warhammer model, a night goblin to the most expensive one you can buy from games workshop & forgeworld, a warlord titan.

When this is all over, please paint that goblin on the heraldry for the Warlord Titan!
I have to right
@@SquidmarMiniatures but Maybe like as a goblin slayer, it would make more sense that way.
Also, hej pÄ dig, frÄn NÀssjö omrÄdet.
Not just the goblin heraldry but the heraldry of each army involved with the trade. You could do them as kill on a banner hanging from the titans weapons.
The goblin is the driver.... đ€Ș
@@hectordejesus9194 I quite like that idea
People when trading warhammer with Emil: "I'll give you a whole army for that one model. I know I'm losing value on this trade but I'm happy to be a part of this"
People trading warhammer with me: "It costs this much Retail so that's what I want for it plus shipping. It's not broken, it's battle damage- I should honestly be charging extra for that. Price is firm, I know what I have"
I think you need to add the word ''charity'' to these conversations when trading.
Ex: I know the price of the retail but this is for charity...
and if that doesn't work fall back on the classic: THINK OF THE (EMPEROR'S) CHILDREN!
LOL :P
Sounds like you should try to be Emil instead :P
Seems like a good opportunity for a follow-up: try doing trades anonymously to compare and contrast the experiences.
My brother got is whole army for half the price. Trade local
@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 Are you telling someone to lie about raising charity funds to get a better deal on a trade?
Your best bet to actually get a warlord as a trade would probably be to paint the Idoneth army yourself to a great standard and then trade the army and warhound titan for the warlord. Idoneth Deepkin is a pretty safe bet right now since they got massive buffs in their new tome. After you paint the idoneth army it's actually gonna be a lot more valuable than an unpainted Warlord titan would be but you know,trading is never accurate when it comes to what everything is worth.
There are bunch of people who bought a warlord,didn't realize just how insane of an effort it is to actually put together and gave up on assembly. People like that would probably be more than happy to trade an expensive pile of shame for a well painted and playable army.
I don't think he plans on doing anything with the stuff he trades for, just trading stuff as is
You're right about how many people bought the Warlord Titan and didn't even start assembly because they're intimidated by its complexity. I know a bloke whose had one in his garage, untouched for about 4 months. He offered to sell it to me for ÂŁ700 but I only started painting May 2021 with the biggest model I attempted being Konrad Curze from Forgeworld, I'm not a fan of resin so I said no to the Titan but he offered me a special price because we are mates, he won't offer it to anyone else for that price so I doubt he will sell it, I might go back and buy it in 6 months or so, when I'm more confident. Who doesn't want the big boy Titan!
The turning point of the speed of the project was when you announced it to thousands of people instead of doing it in secret. Whoâdâve thunk it. Lol
I've seen him post in a Swedish facebook group for trading/selling/buying figurines, so yeah might be why lol
Video idea: Paint a model to the best of your ability using a limited number of your most neglected, under used paint colours.
I think we're all guilty of having our go-to comfort colours instead of experimenting!
Seriously think Emil could get some amazing upwards trades if he painted some of the minis. I'm sure there are tons of people out there who would gladly give him some amazing swaps just to get a mini painted by him.
yep i guess the same and also would be for this ppl somethink special no just crapy model [ i understand that all is for charity but give this ppl somethink what dont cost a lot but have high sentimental value would be preaty nice] but mayby someday
Well I think that even if it sells more, if he paints models that isn't really it coming from the original model, unless of course he got the paints in a trade
I did it in reverse and turned a Warlord into a Goblin. No big deal đ
The paint jobs on the big three (Nagash, Archaon and gargant) were amazing! I simply had to comment to compliment the painter!
I would love to see a series like this, but where each person actually can gain value. Right now, especially at the beginning, you kind of rely on the charity of someone to give you a model that is worth more, which is fine, it is a challenge for charity, but it would be really cool to see a series where you take a really cheap model, paint it up nicely, and then trade it for some unpainted and/or unbuilt minis, then take those minis, build and paint them, and trade them for even more unpainted and/or unbuilt minis. There are plenty of people who would feel like they actually got something out of the trade if they have something in their pile of shame they don't feel like they are going to actually paint and they can trade for a really cool mini, even if its worth significantly less.
These videos make me happy, good job and I hope you keep making amazing vids.
thanks for the kind words mate
The editing in this one is superb.
"Kinda niche".. You mean, kind Sla-niche, right!? Right!?
I'll show myself out...
Ba dum tsss
Such a cool idea for charity! I've been following your journey in the Swedish Facebook trading groups and it's so satisfying to see each trade đ
I was convinced you would say "so that's why this week's sponsor is DHL".
hahaha that would be awesome
Dude I fricking love this series where is the next episode?
That guy who said his friends were bugging him to play age of sigmar must be an industry plant.
All my best wishes for your goal, reallya noble cause and a really cool concept :) good luck guys, can't wait for the next video
It's a really cool idea. But i kind of wish you guys completed the whole trading process prior to uploading the videos, as it'd make the process more natural overall.
Iâd love to see you repaint the minis before trading. Iâm sure that would help increase interest from potential traders
What would make this better is if you painted them and then trading up giving value to the people for giving a more expensive mini
It also would have escalated exponentially, causing there to be *far* less shipping needed in the end. Would have been done already, as far as number of trades, though the time between trades would have been longer. That painted goblin alone would have gotten him a squad of other models right off the bat.
Awesome video. Keep up the good work.
Been waiting for this since part 1 but now I have to wait for part 3.
i think painting the unpainted, badly painted or damaged models for a little "boost" could help
A tracking of the overall estimated value of the traded pieces would be great. Either in a recap at the end of throughout the whole video!
Yay pt 2
I'm sure these exist, but as a Warhammer fan who has a ton of old models, and as a toy collector and customizer, I'd love to hold a monthly swap meet where people can trade stuff. We all have so much plastic! lol
That would be awesome
Very entertaining process to watch unfold! Now let me dig in for a night goblin... đ
Really cool!!! You're making this look easy đ
Would have been funny to have, thorough the video, randomly, some tshirts flying at you and changing đ
Such a cool project love how everyone is getting involved
What do you think about the titan we were offered?

You said you aren't keeping any of the money you make off of this and donating it all to charity. Does that include all of the money you get from sponsorships and google adsense on these specific videos related to it?
@@lI-tm2pn obviously not, and why should it? Absolutely no reason for that to be the case when there's already a substantial amount being raised for charity. Good on Emil for doing this, it's a win-win-win for him/us/charity.
I love the Warhound Titan and want one for my Death Guard Army. But it is too expensive and I don't have anything to trade for it. The only Forgeworld Stuff I own is nine Ripper Swarms, a Malanthrope and a Barbed Hierodule...
That is sooooo massive!
@@patrickbateman69420 your right plus how else is he gonna pay for shipping he's got a goal but it's costly so he needs a way to pay up
Oh man! I need to start getting my trade offer ready for the scout Titan!!
I swear, LukasÂŽs arms are getting bigger with every video.
When I initially watched the first video, I was skeptical. After this one, I am fully invested!
good luck with this cool videos !!!
If I tried this, as a regular hobbyist not a popular youtuber, I wouldn't get very far. Getting a great unclean one for a carnifex is unrealistic.
It would be fun to see you do a challenge with a few painters, where you each pick a child's toy and paint it to a high level. Could be fun! Lego guy? Jiggly dinosaur? Old turtles action figure maybe? I thought about this when I saw a video where a professional artist coloured a children's colouring book to a very high level, and kind of wonder what I could do to improve some toys that are just spray painted with two colours or something.
Good luck guys !
Great stuff friend đ đ
Love your video. with trading and secon hand buying and selling i managed to get around 9000 points between tau and marines for around a 100âŹ. I was confident in the trade for the warlord idea but never thought you will make progress soo quick.
Cool edits in the shirt sponsor part!
Although I play middle Earth, and not Warhammer, your vids always captivate me, especially this series. maybe one day I'll try wh40k
I donât know if Iâm going to sleep after that deathguard photo shoot đ
Maybe I am missing the point but it sure seems like you could have done this in far less steps by just painting the miniatures you are trading. You would get content for the channel and a mini painted by Squidmar in a video could easily go for 5-10 times its retail price.
The idea is that anyone could do it without painting skills but then it was ruined after the first video. Of course people are gonna be just handing over great unclean ones to get in the video.
@@em3sis Literally all of these "trading up" videos suffer from this. People tend to just hand you stuff if they can get thier 5 and a half seconds of fame in a YT video
Because that would be hours and hours of unpaid labour.
@@jamesflames6987 lolol. As opposed to the other hours he spends creating content for the channel that is "unpaid labor?" Or the fact if he took a $5 model, painted it and the traded it for a $150 model painted it and traded it for a $1000 model? Try again buddy.
@@danbdun910 Yes. The hours he spends creating content for this channel is remunerated by ad revenue. Painting those big models or armies would take days or weeks and in return he would only get the Titan faster and so have LESS content for the channel.
He gave away tha T'au promo model GW gave him. I bet that's making some heads at national office explode XD
đ
I can't believe we did not get some close up Glamour photos of that MAN'S MOUSTACHE!
Come on Squidmar you can't just show a few seconds of such an EPIC MO!
You should paint the unpainted Models like the knights. We have seen you and Lukas doing so on the Channel in just a few hours. That should increase the Value a lot i think?
It's sooooooo much work đ„łđ
A warhound titan for 3x knights is literally insane.... Knights go for like 50 bucks on ebay a titan is so much more
Its also a lot easier to field knights in a regular game of 40k. A lot of people like doing big projects, but dont really have the space for it afterwards. This guy could be like that
@@mastersimmons9001 that was my thought yeah. 3 knights is nearly a full field able army, and you don't get to field a warhound almost ever. Even in apocalypse where is belongs it is a lot
this is a great adventure
I bet Viktor had a lot of fun editing this đ
Love how the community comes together in this!
This is neat
That was quick
This is a great project, I was waiting for the next update :)
Maybe if there's another round of this experiment, you could see if the incentive of you guys painting the minis before the trade makes a difference in how willing people are to trade. Although it doesn't really sound like it was all that difficult to begin with since people are happy to help out for a charitable cause. Anyway, greetings from Germany, thanks for being a part of my return to the hobby with renewed interest and ambition, very inspiring to see what you're able to accomplish and explore!
So bummed, but glad to see recent success! Please keep it up!
I am the lumineth/Tyranid trade offer guy, it's the first time I heard from an European that Spain is not EU :(
Oh must have been a miss on my end: (
I had to rewatch it, i think there's a misunderstanding there. I was talking about a full on tyrranid army, that guy was in the UK and the lumineth stuff was seperate (even if it might have been a little unclear) :D
Amazing progress, good for you for organizing such an awesome idea. đ
You could simply paint the minis you got and then trade them. I am sure that would work much better even
Don't give Forgeworld your money, only thing worse than their quality is their quality control.
Nah dude. When FW get is right, they're great. Both the Barracuda and Tigershark are top tier kits.
Love the series. It's been fun to watch thus far. I do have a question. Did you actually trade the carni? for the Great Unclean one? I only ask because the foundation of the project changed from "Night goblin to Titan" to "GUO to titan", as you started over with the GUO donation.
We traded the carnifex for the great unclean one yes, most of the people we've traded with have had these minis unbuilt for years and years and havent gotten to selling them and see these trades as easy fixes to get what they want :) for some reason warhammer people by more than they need ;)
After the first video, there was no way this was going to be realistic. Surprised someone didnt trade a whole army for the ugly Tyranid just to have a chance to be in the video.
@Dustin Gore that is exactly right, I have three finished GUO:s, one from forgeworld,all painted up, and did not need this one at all. In fact I bought the Three GW ones in a 3 for 2 deal and was going to make a tricefold befoulment out of them but when I got my hands on the forgeworld Model for my third this one got stuffed in the pile o shame. Sure, its fun to take part in this as a bonus too of course., but it did not have musch value for me Other than selling or trading.
U is doing the blood doggs work! He be very proud u squidboys! đ„°đ¶
Loving the pictures, laughed so hard, thanks for that.
11:06 ''Aktas''......... was in fact ignored. xD
Hope we get the next video soon
It's being worked on
this video will be one i watch when i want to laugh
NOT FISHPEOPLEđĄ love your videosđ
Great to see what happened to the tyranid trade. Always quality videos from you lads. Nice one
Charity is probably the only way Warhammer Players will part with their Rare/Expensive Minies haha đ
10:17 lol this was painful
I love SquidBoys!! đ„°â€ïžđ¶đŠ
I am loving these edits in between! Very relaxing holidays with the Great Unclean One :)
Nagash one was really good,
That mega gargant kinda looks like Kratos
Congrats on the pics, so funny. Great next steps đ
Paint them and get more big trade for those hehe
The edits đđ
Those pictures were crackin me up! lol good job guys!
What about painting them so you can sell them again for a better price, ofcource for paints you aquired in the trade :D Of course if you wanna make the goal you would get nurgle units in a pendemic :3
You're in UmeÄ?? Hej frÄn Kiruna!
This is a fun idea, but how much does the shipping cost for all of these minis you keep uptrading?
This series is very fun to watch.
And Midwinter minis paid for his like a chump ;)
I wonder how feasible it would be for a talented painter to do a similar thing by buying an unpainted mini, then painting and selling it, then using that money to buy another and repeat.
What website are you using to trade all these models?
One Red Gobbo
have you guys gotten any offers from someone with a Warlord Titan that kinda gives you an idea of what you'll need to build up to? Love the idea you guys are doing here, can't wait to see it bloom into full fruition. Too bad im in the US, I would have loved to have been apart of this, still though, living vicariously through your videos đ€đŒ
Listen I'll happily give you a goblin for a warlord titan in the US, and film it too. ;D
Can we start a warhammer trading reddit? No money is allowed, just trades/ blind trades :)
Happy to start it up as a mod to oversee that people don't be dicks and not send things etc.
question: why don't you paint them up to increase the value? people might want to trade more/better items for you work?
Dang that Death Guard army is fire.
Where's part 3? It's been a month.
If yö ever nööd a TrÀjd in UmÀ I have this first edition Tyranid codex signed by the actual authors, I don't use FB however so... :(
Wheres the tau diorama
wait what does the title mean "but its not gonna work"...ISNT IT?!
but its not THE warlord titan, it's wrong would maybe more accurate :)
@@SquidmarMiniatures ohhhh I get it now!
Give us more!
I'm in the US , I'll trade you a $1200 necron army for the Warhound Titan
send a msg over on the facebook trade group, link in bio.
Surely at a certain point you need to be working backwards and find a guy who has a warlord and work out what they need in order to trade it? otherwise you could quite quickly have all the value of the titan but no1 who wants your models as a trade for it.
My guess is that will happen soon đ
3:50
Is that Steven He?
Incarnate
@@SquidmarMiniatures Indeed.
@@SquidmarMiniatures This made me actually go google the definition of "Incarnate". I have not once used the word correctly I fear. I am curious to know what non-human forms this Steven He may take? (for those who can't be bothered doing a google, the definition I found was "to appear in human form").
Damn, where u do the trades? Because my groups all ask ridiculous âŹâŹâŹ for crap models and no1 do trades đ
Squidmar your English has improved since I've first watched your content. As odd as a compliment as that is. Subtlety for sure.
hahah thanks ;)
Hi Emil,
What is the Facebook group where you trade called? I have some cool stuff laying around and would like to help you on your quest :)
