Squidcon 2024

Every year the patreon moderators run a digital conference for all the squidmar patreons, on the discord. This year the classes will be moved to Twitch so more people can join us!

We’ve finalised all the classes for SquidCon ! We got some new and exciting classes for you all AND an extra social event ! The main difference this year though, will be that we’re moving it to twitch, so this year you can actually invite your non-squid friends to join the classes. The social events will be in our voice chat channel on the Patreon Discord though.

Live stream kick off - 25/1 18:00 CET

Emil and Lukas will be kicking off squidcon on Thursday 25/1 at 18:00 on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@SquidmarMiniatures

Classes

Mini Hobby 101

Mini Hobby 101 with Lasse (replacing Matayus), where you can learn all the basic stuff we all wish we knew when we got started. The only intro to the hobby you will ever need.

Color and (de)saturation

Color and (de)saturation with Davtee where he will teach you about colors and how they don’t always have to be all bright and powerful.

Basic Reposing

Basic Reposing with Spexidor will show us how the pose of a miniature affects it's overall feeling, and how we can change it with some simple cutting, glueing and sculpting.

Airbrushing

Airbrushing with Lukas G (replacing Em) will teach you how to work your (new squid ?) airbrush and take care of it.

NMM

NMM with MelanisticAlbino will tackle the next beast that is Non Metalic Metal, he will talk about all the technical stuff about it, while his smooth voice will assure us that it is not as complicated as it sounds.

Paint-along

Paint-along which will be run by Spexidor and MelanisticAlbino where we all pick a primed mini and paint that during the session. At the end of the session we’ll post our result in a dedicated channel. But there’s a catch ! Every 10 minutes we will pick a random rule (like paint blue, or with you non dominant hand) - similar to what Emil and Lukas did in a video a few years back.

This event will be run on the Patreon discord

Weathering

Weathering with Lasse will teach you how to bring the minis to the next level. Learn how to make them look dirty, worn and used with different weathering techniques.

Kitbashing

Kitbashing with Michi will teach you how to transform ordinary models into unique creations, crafting your own masterpiece with practical techniques and creativity.

Creating a Scene

Creating a Scene with WitnessMyMinis will give you some insight into how to make interesting display pieces with ambience, by working on the stuff around the model as well as making the mini fit the scene.

Freehand

Freehand with MelanisticAlbino will show you how to tackle the beast that is freehanding stuff on your minis. (He did one of the panels on the big Warlord Titan diorama)

Army Painting

Army Painting with ClonemanJon will give you some insight into how to paint an army in an orderly time without burning out, while getting a result you can be happy with.

Drunkpla

Drunkpla is run by Snowdudi and will be an evening of drinks and building Gunplas (or minis, or paint, just come and hang out).

This event will be run on the Patreon discord
