Again a wonderful piece of work. Don't mind others that say you copied them. They didn't think of it themselves.. and surely didn't think of a way to improve on it, like you do. Keep on going!
@@archdeluxe290 Hey check out my reply to your other comment. I do cite other content creators frequently, and I left 3 examples in your previous post where I did that.
So many creative, great ideas in this video, thank you! Really clever techniques. Watching your videos always gets me excited to get back to the crafting table.
Thank you so much for the idea!! Making the pillar and I just ordered a dwarven texture roller from green stuff. Has some neat symbols and images. Going to use clear caulk, make symbols and dry brush leaving the inset parts clear letting out the light. Cut out parts of foam to let out light under the symbols. Then putting those pillars in an infinity mirror box for the Great Halls of Durin. Going to be so epic
I thought I was going to be seeing more LED lighting when I clicked on the video. I still need to try that. This cheap flashlight thing is an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing as usual!
I sent a share link to a friend of mine as he is making a Dwarf army for Kings of War. Can’t wait to see the rest of this series, especially the epic build at the end! I think you just found your unique niche, small builds leading up to an epic build at the end. You rock dude!
How are you doing? ..... freaking awesome man! You do such good work! I have made some of your items and they get ohhh’s and awww’s at my table. Keep up the great work man! I love your creativity!
John, these pillars are amazing! I’m going to have to incorporate a version of these in to my new “killing floor” piece. Can’t wait for the remainder of the series.
A series of dwarven scatter terrain followed by an epic build!?! I cannot wait to see what this is building towards! Great job as usual my man, keep crushing it and we’ll keep showing up. :)
Outstanding!! Dwarven terrain pieces are always awesome....these pillars are sweet! Cannot wait for the next videos to see how it all comes together! By they way, if you can't find your pigments you can always pick up some pastel sticks from any art store or walmart and shave them with a hobby knife...works great. Loved the video and thanks for sharing!
Thanks. As for the magnets, they run out from time to time and have always got them back in stock. This size is decent for strength vs. size. If anything I might go the next size smaller that they sell, but it obviously won't hold together as well.
This is becoming habit, glad that it's one of my good ones. Really like the ramp up of these series builds to the culmination. Keep the pedal to the metal. And congrats on the 20k brother !!!
Super cool! Dwarf series?! Noice. Man. That does open up possibilities (which I'm sure you've thought of) to do other classic D&D/Fantasy race series? Orc builds! Elven builds! Halfling builds! :D Looking forward to the rest of the series here.
Those pillars look amazing. One quick tip about the pigments is that you can use pastel crayons as an alternative if they are out of stock, just make sure to not use the oil variety, I can tell you from experience that those don’t work as good while also being awful to work with on terrain as dust effects.
Foam tip! Anytime you need to glue XPS foam and still want to get nice clean cuts, you can use 3M Super77 spray adhesive. It works so much better than hot glue and cuts like butter.
God I can just imagine how many times you have got burned from the hot glue / hot wire! Amazing start,can't wait for the rest. You need their Dining Hall with huge tables and crazy chandeliers!
instead of weathering paints which are expensive you can use pastel chalk it does the same job and yo get lots of colours to play with turquoise is particularly good on brass and copper colours, a bit of orange and brown for rust.
I have them in my description below pretty cheap. Might be an hour or so before I can have them uploaded as I'm having some issues logging in to my account. Stand by! Great tip C.F.!
I'm attempting to make a portal for the first time and I'm wondering whats best to use. Five minute epoxy mixed with paint or hot glue. Have you ever tried it before?
There really are a bunch of ways to achieve this effect. From virtual to paint and brush. I'll add this idea to my list. Your idea could work well. I'd recommend making a few frames and trying out a bunch of effects to see what you like best.
So a tealight would be ok, but I see 2 issues. The first is that you would have to make the size of the pillar larger to fit around the tealight and the second is that I don't think the tealight would give off enough light to illuminate the runes properly.
great stuff as always! on the shots of the finished towers, a couple of them look as if they have bi-colored runes - is that right? did you mix colors of films?
Thanks Steven. Towards the top of the pillar the light is less so they are a little darker than at the base. BUT.... multi colored lenses... that's a cool idea.
I use it on most of my crafts. You really need to do light bursts from at least a foot away. Once applied if you can see any sheen of spray on the craft you put too much. I have had my paint and foam bubble on me once with this and I applied it way too heavy. Better off doing multiple light coats (if needed but usually not) to be safe.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT maybe i got a bad batch. I did it from roughly a foot, almost to the point where the viscosity of the mist dissipates completley. I did another test this morning on plain foam and modge podgeed foam. It melted both. I must have a bad batch, maybe with too much of whatever chemical causes the melting.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT it was some plain jane stone tiles, so it wasn't a huge loss. I was mainly just using it to test other patterns. The can of krylon was just bought from my local hardware store 2 days back. I was going to spray it on your river build but luckily i did the tiles first
This is super awesome!!! It inspires me to make Lovecraftian type glowing pillars! Or glowing pillars with dick drawings on them! I don't know. Whatever I feel like doing whenever I get around to making them.
Regarding magnets: Why not use simple iron discs in place of magnets on one piece? This way polarity becomes irrelevant and you spare some precioussssss neodymium ;)
John I can’t wait until your fans see the final product at the end of this series! This is going to be awesome!!
Thanks Scott, I can't wait to show you the final build!
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT # meto ;)
Was thinking you were going to put a tea light in the pillar, then you just toss a whole flash light in there. The mad lad!
haha... yep. Why not give it the whole flashlight?
Again a wonderful piece of work. Don't mind others that say you copied them. They didn't think of it themselves.. and surely didn't think of a way to improve on it, like you do. Keep on going!
Thanks Kylara... I appreciate that! I have no problem giving credit, when credit is due.

I really enjoy all your series and how you slowly build up all the pieces and add them into one epic build. I love this format you got going on.
I love to hear that, and I'm glad you're enjoying the content! Thanks.

I'm doing good :) I'm glad to hear my builds and better yet, your rendition of them are a hit at your game sessions!
Well, may I say I’m a fan of your work man. Good job.
Thank you Ronin.
Excellent video and great tutorial. I subbed because I can't wait to see how this series pans out.
Awesome, thanks! I'll be adding even more to this series in the future just like I plan to with my Sewer Series.
Another great tutorial. I loved the magnetized stone pillar with LED but those dwarven pillars looks fantastic! I surely try to build one....
Thanks Paolo... more to come with this build ;).....
John, these pillars are amazing! I’m going to have to incorporate a version of these in to my new “killing floor” piece. Can’t wait for the remainder of the series.
That sounds sweet ! Thanks Chris.
I'm so excited to see what's next in your dwarf series!!!
Thanks :) The next video is done and it looks so good... 4 days to go.
My TV has been sacked I'm watching tabletop witchCRAFT instead totally spellbound!!!
By the size of those pillars, this is going to be a mighty epic series indeed! Awesome job bud, cannot wait to see what's in store.
Yeah, it's going to be a fun series for sure!
Only watched 2 minutes so far and already love it. Been waiting for Dwarven terrain.
Excellent, I have some really cool things in store!!
A series of dwarven scatter terrain followed by an epic build!?! I cannot wait to see what this is building towards! Great job as usual my man, keep crushing it and we’ll keep showing up. :)

Only a part of the build? I can't wait for the entire project!
Wonderfully done! And I also love that brush you use!
Thank you Juan Carlos! I'll see you next week!
okay i love this channel.
You are doing such a great job explaining and showing how its done AND your terrain looks awesome. Im so glad I found you :D
Thank you Dave, I appreciate the feedback and thanks for your support :)
Awesome video as usual.... question: the large magnets are no longer available... any other size that can be recommended??? thanks....
Thanks. As for the magnets, they run out from time to time and have always got them back in stock. This size is decent for strength vs. size. If anything I might go the next size smaller that they sell, but it obviously won't hold together as well.
I'm really looking forward to some sort of epic dwarven halls build at the end of the series! I can't wait to see where this series goes!
Prof. Pickle Pie I hope you enjoy the ride!!
This is becoming habit, glad that it's one of my good ones. Really like the ramp up of these series builds to the culmination. Keep the pedal to the metal. And congrats on the 20k brother !!!
haha, glad I can contribute to one of the good ones, and thanks for the feedback. 👍
Great idea, can't wait to see a finished dwarvern hall and throne room!!
:) Stay tuned
So interested...Love the potential of these pillars and can't wait 'till next Friday for the next installment.
Greetings from Australia
Thank you Frank!! Happy to hear your excitement!
Majestic columns in the dwarf kingdoms under the mountain. Great!
Right on! Thank you.
Great pillars. Can't wait to see how you interpret Dwarven architecture and design in buildings.
Thanks...I hope you enjoy the series :)
Awesome build with the runes. I was thinking "tealight" then wham! Flashlight.
Looking forward to more dvarf stuff.
Right on!! Go big or go home for this series :)
Very cool. Great trick using a flashlight
Thanks 👍
Awesome work, I am excited to see this to the end also. Keep up the amazing work.
Will do.... it's going to be a fun ride :)
Very cool man. Looking forward to this series :)
Right on!! Thanks.
My only regret is that I can only LIKE this vid once!!! Flipping awesome! Cannot wait for more!! 👍👍👍
haha, thanks Benjamin! The pieces for this series are coming out great!
Congrats on 20K! Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Thanks Bernard! :) Stay tuned...

Foam tip! Anytime you need to glue XPS foam and still want to get nice clean cuts, you can use 3M Super77 spray adhesive. It works so much better than hot glue and cuts like butter.
I will be looking into this! Thanks for the tip Wil.
nice build... I liked the highlighting.
Thanks!
Oh my! I'm gonna definitely start making these pillars for my DnD groups final battle!
Yeah, that would make an awesome setting. They are even destructible !
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT which is super cool because I could make pieces that are destroyed on top with light coming through. So many potential ideas!
God I can just imagine how many times you have got burned from the hot glue / hot wire! Amazing start,can't wait for the rest. You need their Dining Hall with huge tables and crazy chandeliers!
That's a cool idea. I've been burned, cut, and poked too many times haha.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I bet and thank you!
Also you should make a talking wall with faces and glowing eyes. That would be so cool.
Great stuff as always.
My takeaway is that your players don't appreciate you enough. These builds must be amazing to play on.
Thanks Christopher. Oh they do and we have a great time :)
Top notch, baby! Love the techniques. Cheers, --Bo
Thanks Bo :)

I don't even play D&D, but this stuff is useful.
Thank you.

If you have a Harbor Freight local those flashlight are a typical freebie. They only cost about a dollar.

How do you think it would look using tea lights instead of the flashlight for some pulsing blue runes
So a tealight would be ok, but I see 2 issues. The first is that you would have to make the size of the pillar larger to fit around the tealight and the second is that I don't think the tealight would give off enough light to illuminate the runes properly.

Thank you !
I build my own hotwire and now I Wish there was a diy Video on these.
Your lucky day :)

have you been having any issue with krylon matte finish lately? It worked for me at first but I just got a new bottle and it melted my foam.
I use it on most of my crafts. You really need to do light bursts from at least a foot away. Once applied if you can see any sheen of spray on the craft you put too much. I have had my paint and foam bubble on me once with this and I applied it way too heavy. Better off doing multiple light coats (if needed but usually not) to be safe.

Yeshua Of Nazareth oh man, bummer. What build was it?
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT it was some plain jane stone tiles, so it wasn't a huge loss. I was mainly just using it to test other patterns. The can of krylon was just bought from my local hardware store 2 days back. I was going to spray it on your river build but luckily i did the tiles first
As a bigger backer /collector of team Goblin I highly disapprove my friend LoL, to each his own I reckon
Aha, the embedded flashlight technique.
Yep, just toss it right in there :)
This is super awesome!!! It inspires me to make Lovecraftian type glowing pillars! Or glowing pillars with dick drawings on them! I don't know. Whatever I feel like doing whenever I get around to making them.
To each their own :) I'm glad you liked the video.
Well, at least if the power goes out while gaming, everyone can grab a flashlight off the table, lol
Reyvyn Nightveil Way to be thinking Reyvyn.
Bravo c’est superbe
Merci beaucoup
Regarding magnets: Why not use simple iron discs in place of magnets on one piece? This way polarity becomes irrelevant and you spare some precioussssss neodymium ;)
You totally could, I use two magnets for some extra pull... though not totally necessary all the time. Good point!
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT You are welcome. I am waiting impatiently for next episodes, as You are making a great job!
U CAN ANGLE THE PROXON?
You sure can :) You can slide the rig with the wire spool on it back and forth for different angle cuts.

Sorry I don't understand.
Это блин очень круто
Спасибо
Way out of proportion... Looks like The World Trade Center near the miniatures. LOL
I think they’re right on. Have you seen The Lord of the Rings? They could actually be a bit bigger!
Amazing as usual my friend. Thanks for the constant stream of motivation!
Duvanok You got it, thanks for watching!
