I will be expanding this system in future videos with clip on attachments, gun turrets and other structures. Subscribe so you don’t miss it :D
You can't tell me what to do, I'm already subscribed :0 this is a great project, I'll definitely have to appropriate the design when I have space for a dedicated hobby area
Looking forward to it!
Looks fookin mint 👍👍👍👍
I beat your super excited to utilize it in game
I met bet
Now, using all your Imperial tutorials, we can make a whole fortified city!
Heck yeah you can
Dorn would be proud
Fortify?
Siege?
utilise*
No one's talking about how the light behind your head in the start of the video makes you look like a saint. Like, it's literally a halo right behind your head lol.
It is sanguinius!
Commander Erickus, the Living Saint of the Ordo Hobbium
Saint Eric, protector of the terrain makers!
I legit was just gonna post this
or the fact at the beginning he says bail not baal?
1:27 for a moment I thought you were tricking us all and making a beautiful flower tower
Would love to see you tackle some smexy fortress building yourself! Or a city!
Or a fortress amidst the ruined husk of the city it failed to protect, now home to the last of the people who prepare for an ork siege!
The compass is so cool. Theres such a neat beauty in geometry
almost sacred geometry 😁
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Great way and reason to teach 'lockdown' kids the importance of math!
This has that classic gw style. I love the modernish overdesigned style of warhammer buildings/terrain but this just screams "use me in games" instead of just build, paint, store and never use in games. Fantastic
Yeah theres a lot of beautiful detail on the new gw stuff but it feels too busy sometimes. Terrain needs to blend into the background a bit and some gw terrain kits have as much detail as minis!
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Agreed! It makes us focus on the minis, where we focused most of our work!
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop agreed that’s what I’m liking with the new total war Warhammer game it’s that the backgrounds and battlefields are more stylized and allow you to focus on the units more.
The eye of terror sees all.
Legends
You've managed to create a scale version of modern Detroit in those glamour shots. Robocop would be proud to serve and protect there.
I'm an old fart just coming into this. However, I have a vast architectural background. I find these videos captivating. You are never too old to learn from the young. Btw, well done!
This man needs more viewership, although granted terrain craft for 40k is definitely a niche hobby. I can't get enough of his skill and teachings, he is a absolute master in his field, what an artisan.
Good vid, you always use that coarse and rough and irritating sand quite well. I'm gonna make sure I utilize the concept of angle of repose in my own crafts.
Hopefully it doesnt get everywhere
Your channel and Eric's Hobby Workshop are probably the best I've seen as far as model/mini building and painting. Howl's Moving Castle was absolutely gorgeous. Though I would love to see the house from My Neighbor Totoro, like you did with Kiki's delivery service. Thank you both for such amazing content :)
I see you utilized the word 'utilize'
The terrain is brilliant but what really blew me away was those sick compass skills
Dude if you want sick compass skills check out wylochs armoury. I think i learned that trick feom one of his videos
Very clever using the foam from the breach section to make its own rubble so the volume looks just right!
The whole piece is epic, and the breach is really the highlight!
Thanks! Im really happy with the breach too
I am utilizing the comment section to help increase your interactions in a pretensions way to influence the agrorithiam.
All jokes aside I love your work. Much of your terrain reminds me of the stuff games workshop used in there battle reports back in 2ed. Being that's when I got into miniature gaming every one of your video's leaves me giddy with nostalgia and has inspired me to start making terrain again.
I am pretty new to 40k, but played whfb all through my childhood so that era of 40k was burned into my brain as i skimmed past it in White Dwarf. Its nice to dive into it now because its still totally new and fresh for me
much respect to see you using math instead of overmeasuring. I hold the compass to be one of the most under utilized tools in terrain making
Those shots at the end... now that's what this hobby is all about !
Love these builds. This could also be a great Precinct Fortress for Necromunda.
Sure could!!! Good call
As I was watching you make the crumbled wall, I was thinking, "Dude is way too strong, he is gonna break it." I wasn't disappointed. Nice build bro!
THE SHRINE OF CHAOS SALUTES YOU. THE GODS HAVE GAZED UPON YOUR CHANNEL AND HAVE DETERMINED ITS POWER AND WORTH. ALL HAIL ERIC!!!!!!!
Gee , welcome back man ,haven't seen your posts for awhile , hope all is well , happy new year , be safe be well.
Thanks Drew!
Totally gonna do this with my imperial fists. The true masters of fortifications!
Heck yeah! If I hadn’t already painted all my intercessors res i would have done one up in IF yellow just for this video
But wouldn't the fisty bois then have learned the fortifications from the blood angels and therefore the Blood angels would be the masters of fortification?
@@Smaakakor not necessarily. If they completely altered their doctrine to use the blood angels tactics, yes. However, if they just adopted it alongside their own tactics, similar to what the ultramarines do, then the fisty fellas would remain as the masters.
I am blown away. This is your best video ever, I love the new video format (with no fast lapses), calm energy, jaw dropping design and execution- this is god level ASMR.
I like the time laps
I'd like to utilise the comments positively to say this is a great project. I hope it gets a lot of utilisation.
That waterfall in the background! :O
Just got back into the hobby three months ago, painted up a nice looking plague marine squad, and i stumbled across your cardboard tower video and after that I have been hooked. I love your videos, and im well on my way with a list of supplies I want to order from amazon so that I can try myself to make something simple, but with your cool detail technique and ideas. Cant get enough of these, Loving it man, keep it up!
Nicely conceived and built. I like the ability to UTILIZE the components for a multitude of configurations.
Another great build! I think a lot of times modular terrain isn't worth the effort to craft or purchase, as the fitment and hassle of pegs or magnets can be more trouble than they're worth, but for big, Line of sight blocking terrain, especially with a very simple, fast attachment point like you've designed here, I think you can get a ton of value and it stays fresh for just a little effort and planning.
Would love to see some wyloch style clip-ons for this system, in addition to the larger buildings you mentioned.
Keep up the good work!
Seconded, would love to see expansions and add-ons to this project
I dont think ill ever not be both annoyed and tickled by your prequel references. Love the build!
I might recommend a scroll saw to help speed up and ease the process of having to cut through several layers of foam at a time. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Pedantry incoming.
15:15 - There is a difference between 'use' and 'utilise', when they're used correctly (which people rarely do). You utilise something when you put it to a use for which it was not originally intended.
If you're a Blood Angels captain who opens a door, you're "using" it. If you're the same captain who rips the door off its hinges and batters an Ork boy over the head with it, you're "utilising" it.
BTW, love watching your vids. I used to scratch build terrain - it was always my favourite part of the hobby. Your videos are giving me that itch again. :)
Dang that is fantastic! I am going to use this to make a fantasy style wall set. I've been wanting to build a huge set of town walls. Great job, dude!
AH! Seeing the different layouts with that modularity is so satisfying
And the industrial towers in the jungle fortress! What a cool shot
Loving the new camera angles and cutting mat!
Thanks! I love that mat too. So much room for activities!
Excuse me but how many COMPLETE, FULLY PAINTED ARMYS DO YOU HAVE.
Zero lol. Gotta pick and choose units to show on camera. I have like 2000pts of playable night lords, but only about half is fully painted. Half has just basecoats so looks halfway decent on the table at a distance. I have about 1500 pts of blood angels built and half painted as well. I have close to 2000 pts of eldar that are almost all unpainted, save a unit of guardians, a farseer and a jetbike. And i have a handful of guard, a few tyranids, a decent amount of orks, an indomitus worth of necrons. Ok i have a lot. Still working on painting it all though
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop lol
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop I know that feeling!
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop But if you count WH fantasy... 11?
Thank you for considering other countries when clarifying what you mean by chipboard! Not many videos I've watched do this and it's really useful considering how many crafting materials have different names across the world. Another amazing build by the way!
Thank you for this video, I have watched it like 15 times now and continue to learn new things each time. I won't roast you but I have always been taught that the word "utilize" simply means using something in a way not originally intended, where as "use" means to employ as originally intended. Example - I use a paint brush to add paint vs I utilize a paint brush to clean lint out of a vent. Hope that helps, as your videos so awesome!
You utilized that foam board incredibly well. 👏👏👏
Man I wish I had a friend like you
Man, I really enjoy the flow of your videos. They‘re always so relaxing while yielding really awesome results!
"utilize" implies the use is actually not the intended one; the verb means "to make utile". For example, you _utilized_ insulation foam to sculpt model walls.
This looks like something that would be at the end of a classic codex to showcase the army. Nice.
If I had been taught geometry that way, I'd remember more.
Happy New Year! That piece looks fantastic--all of your terrain has a personal touch to it that ends up far more appealing than whatever GW sells these days. I really need to get some supplies together so I can make stuff like this during my downtime--projects like these really seem to come to life in front of your eyes, you know? As always, wonderful work!
I am so excited to see see this all play out. I've dreamt of building some form of the Fang so it is really cool to see a chapter fort coming together. I can't wait for the next installment! Thank you for sharing!
I've been building a blood angels army and I guess that algorithmed me to this video but man is this amazing. I can't wait to settle down a bit and really get to build something like this for my own games.
All you need is some awesome siege implements for those ramparts... some gun-line defenses, gun and ammo racks/caches, radar or comms array. Even better if they are modular. Maybe add some grates here and there and pipes. They always go well in sheer concrete buildings.
Bob Ross of tabletop crafting, great job!
Awesome! Love the simple design that doesn't distract with detail like the GW stuff and lets the models shine.
I love how it interlocks. Such a cool idea
I used to work in a vending machine factory and I used a caulking gun every day. Had no idea you could release the pressure with that lever
Badass man! I’m new to the tabletop RPG crafting scene and have just finished my first castle set-a small modular keep, gatehouse, and a series of wall and corner pieces. It was pretty time consuming but worth it. I WAS going to take a break and make some smaller terrain or scatter pieces, but I now I wanna make what you just made lol. Maybe some day! Good job and awesome crafting!
Looks great! Now, it just needs a little "Flash" I'm sure some friendly local Orks will help with that
Nearby Warboss: "Dem beakies is so nice, makin me up a cozy lil Fort. Fink I'll name it "Kamp Krusha" once I mash up da tin can humies inside"
This is the tutorial I have been waiting for! Looks simple but really neat at the same time! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks lemonardo!! 🍋
Love the old school vibes from this, the breach is amazing!!!
Great video. The relaxed style on TH-cam is an oasis. Excellent tips and attention to detail. Looking forward to the Titan progress. You kicked off a lot of ideas for me, appreciate it.
This is definitely a project I can see myself getting way to stuck into. Adding all sort of details and ornate greeblies.
Glad you are back. I am so happy I found your channel last year. The way you make budget and easy access materials look so stunning is amazing.
I also really like to just listen to your videos while hobbying because you are hands down one of the chillest
people I ever watched on TH-cam.
Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Cool macro-level terrain! You could even make some stairs going up and down various parts like the gate or from ground level.
I bet this gives a huge advantage to one side if they start with the wall :D
I have tons of add ons and other components already underway!
Excellent work Eric! The build was great to watch and you gave a lot of good tips that will help me in the future. adding the paint to the drywall spackle was one of them. Thanks for taking the time to share this as I am sure it is not easy building and filming all at once.
For the hexagon alone it was already worth enough to like the vid *thumbsUp
Saintly light surrounding background, wearing dark monk hoodie sets the tone for this video once again for info. Breached wall is such a great idea..
I love how flexible it is, how good it looks too.
YES! Utilize is the devil and should be abandoned forever, lol.
Also, whenever I hear that sand line now, I hear it in your voice. Even when it's spoken by Hayden Christiansen, I still just hear you.
How do you know we aren’t the same person? Eh??!
I will endeavor to utilise the knowledge and skills imparted in this videographed work. Never surrender to those who would tear down our linguistic history and indeed our shared destiny. Do not allow brigands and ne'er-do-wells to set alight our verbal Library of Alexandria! Defend your incredibly rich traditions and history! (seriously, great build).
Rogal dorn: *Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be LEGENDARY!!!!*
This is the absolute coolest. Fantastic work on these sections, they look awesome, both separate and together in their different arrangements!
Firstly, this is a great project! Simple yet elegant. Also, I have noticed a significant improvement in the production of this episode. Excellent work!
Nice build! I would like to compliment you, the way you are making these videos is getting better and better. You have a natural and relaxed way of presenting, keep up the great work!
Awesome project and great video - I love how you take the time to show exactly how you put things together, how you cut, glue, and include all those little tool tips about glue etc. Makes it really helpful as a tutorial for beginner/intermediate crafters as well as great inspiration for experienced crafters.
Looking forward to seeing where you go with clip-on stuff! This shape is simple and generic enough that I guess you should be able to make it work for all kinds of settings/factions with some smart, appropriate detailing. Could be Necromundan or Ork or even AoS, I bet.
These are really fab! Reminds me of Warhammer (40k) Siege games back in the 90's!
No roasting, that door looks sweet AF, and the locking system is inspired. Awesome work Eric.
Loved the hexagon lesson!! That's a cool way to wield a protractor. Okay, loved the doors too, and the glimpse of their art deco-y dramatic detail before you painted them and made them 40K. You definitely look spiritually sublime with that black cowl neck and the halo in behind. It goes with the new calm delivery. You are inspired and are inspiring!
Nice system for the walls. I like things that are modular. Thanks for the tip on the caulking gun. Hopefully I will remember this the next time I use one.
Always wanted to do a project like this. Great to see it laid out clearly, I'll definitely use this video as a guide when I make mine, thanks!
I just finished reading The devastation of Baal TOO. Great read, lots of inspiration for my Blood Angel's !
What a good job, it gave me ideas to do something similar for my Ultramarines army and complete my strength of my Astra Militarum army.
This is looking awesome and your way of explaining is very beginner friendly . Cheers
this is fantastically great excellent build and video. With the skills I've learned from this video i gonna make me a fortress
All ot needs is a trip to the bitz box; Imperify it up with a few aquilas, add a some skulls; maybe even a reliquary built in above the gate with the bones of some of the honored dead in it. Maybe even a few purity seal attached to the gates themselves.
You've really inspired me to get back into crafting especially Warhammer 40k, it's been so long, looking forward to the hobby
Thanks for your hardwork, looking forward to another episode of your buildings. This is exactly what I'm looking for, as I'm just getting started in the way of terrain building
Gonna have to make one of these for my Flesh Tearers. I'll put "Cretaceous Park" over the gate.
Really enjoyed this build! Thank you for sharing. It inspires me (a noob) to try things out, and this looks amazing for not a lot of money.
"I have ideas to do some chaos add-ons that will fit well with my Night Lords army." - Talos approves of this post.
As a construction guy myself they do have caulking guns that auto release the pressure when you stop pulling the trigger. More expensive but you get what you can depending on how much you use it.
Brilliant.. love this, and cant wait to see the add ons you spoke of. You are def my favourite crafter/modeller on youtube...everything you build always has an original twist and looks so good and is so playable... 😁👍
I cant even express how much you inspire me!
This is fantastic! I've always wanted to build a big fortress like this but I couldn't get anywhere with a design. I really like how you did this. I'm going to give it a try.
As always, just awesome. Genius with the modularity around d the flying buttresses.
Looking forward to the expansions.
Cheers
I've subscribed to your channel for a awhile. I have to say your modular wall system is the best I've seen. What I like about it is that it's simple enough to replicate and your able to add detail through paint and texture. I just need to figure out how to add stairs to the backside of the wall. Thank you for this build. I look forward to making it.
Stairs on the backside are coming in part 2!
That looks sick on your new desert table!!!!
This is CRAZY COOL! So impressed. My dream to make something like this.
How did you do the modular removable parapet walls? Are they fastened in any way?
Great looking terrain. Love the modularity and theme. Great work, can't wait to see you add to this collection in the future.
Can’t wait to see where you go with this terrain, looks great so far.
I've been wanting to make an imperial fortress for legion and i just found it, thanks so much!!
This will be my inspiration. I will make these. Amazingly done and easy to follow
This is unbelievably cool, Eric! Well thought out, but you make it look so simple at the same time. Will, for sure, be adding something like this to my list of projects. Thank you for the inspiration!
The lighting behind your head makes you look like some kind of saint of DIY terrain, I choose to believe it was an intentional artistic choice. Keep up the great work :)
Neat system, i will probably follow your build and change a few things but this foundation is super simple and awesome!
Thanks, and rereferring back to a vid you did. I totaly agree when it comes to things being in scale to a model, like the stairs you do, it looks weird when the stairs for a mini is more in scale to a 3 and 3 fourths action figure. I enjoy your videos, my favorite, the servo skull, heh, that was awsome dude. Keep up the great creativity.
