What I like about the name Forestall is it implies that it isn't a magic bullet that shields the user; it will delay a monster, make it hesitant or dissuade them allowing the human travelers to take appropriate action but if a monster is motivated enough fear or anger they will power through it so the humans need to be respectful as they travel as to not interrogate or provoke.
I interpreted it a bit different, in that scenario the rat was not scared away by the high frequency noise of the forestall because it was not an animal tracked in that region. So the hunters tried to shoot it with a shotgun to scare it in time to change the forestall to a different region with that particular animal. However the rat was not scared by the shotgun because it was angry and killed the hunters
You should totally do a diorama of a market where they sell monster parts!! You'd be able to do so many figures with fun stories and I'd love to see it added to the universe
My colleagues got me into tabletop RPGs (one them is a real old school DnD fan, been playing since it first came out) and I've put them onto your channel, the old dude especially loves these since he's been making dioramas since he was a kid. We're all very excited for the release of the Wild Imaginary West RPG.
Ah, yes, back when Tactical Studies Rules was still the publisher. Best version of the game IMHO is 2nd Edition AD&D. Everything WotC touches turns to shite.
Your storytelling is one of the key elements to your work, and I love how fleshed out it all seems to be. Definitely seeing an imaginary wild west movie on the horizon, fingers crossed! God bless, man!
I used to watch you a lot more way back when the wild west stuff first started ad just a fun little project and coming back now to see your turning it into a game is just so amazing man, great job you creative legend
8:00 Reason you can’t prepaint the sides is, because you need to end the video with „and the last thing to do, is to paint the sides with Black 4.0 and then I called it good!“ loving it every time!
What do you call a possum who comes back for a second helping of chowder? “More-soupial” 😂😂. Boylei, turning your world into a game is the coolest thing I can think of, and I can’t wait for your Wild Imaginary West RPG Kickstarter to begin!!
I’ve been watching your channel for so long and remember stumbling into it. I’m a nerdy kid, I make dioramas build models play dnd and war hammer, and you’re one of my biggest inspirations for my hobbies! I’m super stoked for the new game! :)
The giant opossum isn’t a monster, he’s just misunderstood. He’s all hiss and no bite. He’s just a (not so) lil guy. He’s actually very cute and eats pests (and like maybe a person or two, but what’s one or two people, right?)
Hahahah "Who's your favourite possum?" killed me xD Awesome world. Cool build. Amazing that you're creating a game out of the world you constructed via your models.
Loved your “Lester’s Possum Park” reference!! 🤣🤣🤣 Another awesome diorama! Thanks for continuing to make this hobby an art form. I enjoy watching your videos every week, and I’m looking forward to the release of your RPG!
Amazing work! The idea, the basic's, the Figures, the painting, the details, finally the result! Just WOW! Like it so much! Thank's for sharing this 😍👍👍🤝
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now It’s awesome how much the imaginary west has grown so much you’re dioramas are awesome keep up with the good work dude
That was another awesome video I know I signed up for the kickstart so I can’t wait to be able to play the wild imaginary west it seems so awesome it has come a long way
I would love to be able to purchase a book on the lore of Wild Imaginary West, wait all week for the next video, never fails to entertain, thank you Boylei
I've been toying with the idea of creating WIW game using other rulesets for some time. Now I can skip all that and just go to Kickstarter! I hope this game becomes a big hit!
The North American Opossum is pure nightmare fuel at normal size, looking like H.P. Lovecraft's idea of a mouse, but this abomination would definitely make me rethink the life decisions that brought me into this situation.
One thing I noticed is that it seems like we haven't seen mechs or mules in awhile, it would pretty neat to see them used in some sort of "strategy" against monsters
Possums are super cool and one of my favorite critters, I call them Grinners, and that one is one of the very coolest I've ever seen. Great Job my friend. 👍👍👍
I always look forward to your videos, Boylei - especially when your signature, Wild Imaginary West is the topic! I wish you the best with your project to bring the WIW to us. Though I'm not a gamer, I do like building models, and I'm looking forward to when figures and mechs become available in kit form! Thanks for sharing your skills, techniques, and imagination with us! 179th Like
Incredible job again! I’ve been watching your videos when owning a hot wire table was just a dream of yours haha. I would love to add a piece of yours to my cabinet of curiosities! Keep up the great work
Great work! If I can make a recommendation, when you have models like these where the clear resin meets the end of the base/stage (like the water), soften the edge so it is slightly rounded, that way it isn't sharply reflecting/refracting light and you can also get rid of any small chips/imperfections. Just brushing that edge with some high-density sandpaper and a gloss varnish (or even just the ripple medium) to bring back the clarity should do the trick. It'll help the water flow into the background better since it's there won't be so many highlights at the edge. Also, because of the viscosity of the resin, it's always higher around the edges than it is in the center, so you want to mitigate that as much as you can.
I hope the rule book uses your dioramas, they'll make for some great inspiration for cool table set ups. Hell, if we're really lucky that will encourage a shift from just 40k and D&D boards from the wargaming/RPG table building videos.
00:35 a dab of color on the feets then press to your base will mark the exact spot your holes need to go. Old simple tip has saved me hours of redrilling
Very excited to back the Kickstarter! Will there be options for 3d printing hobbyists to buy the STLs for critters such as this Opossum if we want to throw a whole bunch at our players?
This is awesome! Makes me wonder if you'd have historical figures like Theodore Roosevelt in this universe. Especially since Roosevelt was a cattle rancher in Dakota during the 1880s!
That's an excellent swamp diorama, and I also really like that possum model. He would be perfect as a rat-monster, either for my Skaven or as a big wererat.
Welp, now i have a new thing I want to do in life. Thank you for making entertaining and inspiring videos! I would love to see you do a steampunk airship, maybe some sky pirates on a raid.
I would like to see a forestall shop please...as well as a deeper look into them expanding on what was already told in this video. It would be nice to know who and the how of coming up with the forestall
What I like about the name Forestall is it implies that it isn't a magic bullet that shields the user; it will delay a monster, make it hesitant or dissuade them allowing the human travelers to take appropriate action but if a monster is motivated enough fear or anger they will power through it so the humans need to be respectful as they travel as to not interrogate or provoke.
This whole time I thought it was pronounced "Force-doll."
I interpreted it a bit different, in that scenario the rat was not scared away by the high frequency noise of the forestall because it was not an animal tracked in that region. So the hunters tried to shoot it with a shotgun to scare it in time to change the forestall to a different region with that particular animal.

@@Calamitious Exactly. Except that was an opossum.

aye boylei this guy onto something
Really good idea actually 👌
This would be so cool as an addon to the town builds
Day 1 of asking for a Giant Toad Monster in a misty bog diorama.
I second this motion
im hopping in it too!
That’s such a good idea! That as his fantasy worlds would be be amazing!
Yes I would like to see that
I hope its Cybernetic😊
it would be very nice to see you working on a snowy landscape with a yeti
I second this.
th-cam.com/video/OmT0adLtDO4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FF2nsIkrMRif6B_-
Already did something similar!
Yeti aren't very Imaginary Wild West, though. Maybe a mountain goat-based critter similar to the Bison Shepherds?
@@kenshiro7293 Some kind of winter adventure in the Sierra Nevadas though. Cave bear perhaps awoken from hibernation.
@@Blitz9H hell yeah
I’m REALLY GLAD the opossums in my neck of the woods aren’t this big!
😂

0:18 "I gently drilled some holes in its feet" is a line i didn't expect to hear today
Funny cuz I hear that alot from watching minature hobby vids lol

I'd love to see a shadow person/creature made with 4.0 paint. Maybe cowboys around a fire have to many shadows. Also, can't wait for the game!
The giant opossum isn’t a monster, he’s just misunderstood. He’s all hiss and no bite. He’s just a (not so) lil guy. He’s actually very cute and eats pests (and like maybe a person or two, but what’s one or two people, right?)
He's just doing his best :nods sagely:
I'll be honest, I don't have any friends close enough to play, but I'd be on board with some books. You've got some good story telling, I'd read them.
“That might imply that there is wanted foam dust that gets in my lungs… but there wasn’t”
….im glad
Goofy Movie reference. A man of culture I see. I 100% read it in the voice.
Glad I didn't have to scroll too far to find this! That's a deep cut.
Really cool! You should do a diorama where beast carcasses are collected and then shipped by train (kinda like the bison in our timeline).
That is an amazing idea! Hopefully he sees this :)
@@KnightProductions14 thank you:)
I absolutely love Opossums you have no idea how excited I was when I saw this
Now thats a Rodent of Unusual Size!
They're not rodents though.
All right. That's a Marsupial of Unusual Size.
Boylei, your world building is seriously so good
Cannot wait until your Wild Imaginary West game comes out
Hahahah "Who's your favourite possum?" killed me xD Awesome world. Cool build. Amazing that you're creating a game out of the world you constructed via your models.

TeamOpossum
This is the coolest diorama i've ever witnessed and i need this game asap. Very well done sir
I physically can’t wait for the game, and love weird west settings, this world gives me so much hunt showdown vibes with more whimsical tech
Tabletop RPG? that going to be so cool!
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now It’s awesome how much the imaginary west has grown so much you’re dioramas are awesome keep up with the good work dude
I love these imaginary Wild West videos. I need a video game with it, and I may have to play the table top game with my friends

What beef do you have with my boys
But they're so cute
@@AbelDuviant No. Australian possums are cute. Ours are nightmarish Hellspawn.
@@Thekingoffishog They keep eating my carrots.
@@Kneon_Knight crazy
One thing I noticed is that it seems like we haven't seen mechs or mules in awhile, it would pretty neat to see them used in some sort of "strategy" against monsters
Indeedy they mostly settler or military scouts or tge really long ranged.
This guy's skill is S tier!
He’s come so far. And I got to see it all. Good luck on the game man
Have you thought of adding Cicada Killer Wasps to the IWW? I think they would be suitably terrifying.
This Kickstarter is gonna break some records.
every time i see tou upload a new WIW video i get so excited, this series is awesome
Oh heck no….no giant opossums…nope nope nope 😝
Diorama looks awesome!
Possums are super cool and one of my favorite critters, I call them Grinners, and that one is one of the very coolest I've ever seen. Great Job my friend.
👍👍👍
I'm sooo excited about the RPG and I can't wait to back the Kickstarter!
2:30 You could have saved some painting and made this a winter scene ; )
Another outstanding piece. Congratulations again on all your success and getting the opportunity to turn your hobby into your livelihood. 🍻
Honestly your work always makes me wanna rewatch Tremors 4, giant sandworms vs cowboys is honestly just a great visual
I always look forward to your videos, Boylei - especially when your signature, Wild Imaginary West is the topic!

Its been well over a year since we've seen a WIW walkin mech and would sure like to see another

Can't wait to run a campaign in the TTRPG
Was just thinking that I'd love one of these videos today, what excellent timing

Killer work....and that possum..... I really want that little guy. x
Thanks for sharing this with us.
cant wait for the board game!
Great work again!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
"Vernon, that ain't no duck." "Nope." I love the imaginary wild west!
I am SO excited to play your game :))))
This is such an awesome dio. This is a great one! One I think would be awesome is a cattle driver trying to protect his flock from a predator
Cool build! Small but mighty!
I'm definitely going to get the wild imaginary west board game!!
This is awesome! Makes me wonder if you'd have historical figures like Theodore Roosevelt in this universe. Especially since Roosevelt was a cattle rancher in Dakota during the 1880s!
I love the giant angry opossum, I have two little ones that live in the backyard. So cute.
Very cool project man! Got to love a river bank diorama. The plastic plants and resin rocks really makes it look fantastic!
Ducks have been in the Wild West for as long as a hunting dog has. From paintings to film there has always been ducks.
That new snowglobe is pretty nice 😉
So excited to have to convince my players that the giant old opossum is not a friend and does not want pets
They will find a way. Mark my warning they WILL FUCKING FIGHT YOU just to tame one.
Yeah but.... what if I give him a little treat?
@@sadgirlhours4088 you drive a hard bargain
If not friend, why friend shaped?
That's an excellent swamp diorama, and I also really like that possum model. He would be perfect as a rat-monster, either for my Skaven or as a big wererat.
Another fun potential edition to the wild wild west universe could be adding a Glyptodont style creature as an armadillo.
Great build, video and presentation.
WIW!!!! Yes, my favourite dioramas!!!
Ohh I'm ready for this game.
Ah yes finally my spirit animal. I love opossums so much
this is awesome my friend. pretty cool monster too
Another crazy cool diorama. That is, one pissed off possum
Welp, now i have a new thing I want to do in life. Thank you for making entertaining and inspiring videos! I would love to see you do a steampunk airship, maybe some sky pirates on a raid.
I would like to see a forestall shop please...as well as a deeper look into them expanding on what was already told in this video. It would be nice to know who and the how of coming up with the forestall
Just broke my leg and saw this which immediately eased the pain, thank you so much
Were you fighting a giant possum ?
Love how he says “I called it good” why doesn’t he have more subscribers
Hunt showdown vibes. Love the Wild West series!!
Your videos are great! Love to see a diorama of the “fur trapper” of the imaginary WW. The result of some these stand offs, if you will.
This is my favorite video you have ever made. 1:51
Fav fav fav
7:16 that be some bendy acrylic
Thank you for answering my question about how you get the figures off their bases. There's a right tool for every job.
I hope the Wild Imaginary West rulebook is illustrated with photos of your dioramas.
Amazing work as always, would be cool to see a Western power loader like in Aliens vs a giant Black Widow or something of that nature.
WOW. that's the nuts................. and as usual a proper sunday bonus ....... ;-)
