There is a much better cut off blade that works wonders even on 1/2 inch MDF. It is a large metal disk and comes in a separate kit for just a few bucks.
A Scroll Saw also works extreamly well, very neat. but they are limited in operational range due to the machine well, and the baldes can be a little delecate if your not cearful, but their acuracy and finish cant be beat.
@@hauntswargaming good to hear it 🙂. My cron terrain is very basic and lacking in comparison so your setup definitely gives me some great ideas to convert or add upon.
Great ideas! You could try Foamex or similar extruded PVC “sign board” for the bases, it’s used for signage and displays. Any local display/exhibition/signage company will probably have loads of offcuts they’ll be happy to give you for free. A4 and even A3 and above scraps are no use to them but perfect for us as terrain builders! It’s relatively non-warping, very lightweight, rigid yet cuts easily with a utility knife or hand saw.
That looked fantastic! Really happy I've discovered your channel. It's enjoyable to watch, neat seeing what you've done, and KITTY! Btw, speaking of grandpa's old rocks, I'm wondering how it would look if you tried adding in some extra colours (e.g., blues, reds, etc.) as one of the drybrush layers. I figure the washes would mute it down; maybe an alternate idea for the future?
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Idk if you watch Black magic craft, but I really like how he uses patches of color to add character to terrain. It's something I'm still learning to do well, but I plan to use more inks in future projects. They are pretty great.
I’ve just found your channel and your videos are very entertaining. Also, I love the music selection, very refreshing considering other channels just put on shitty EDM or nothing at all over the speed building parts. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment! I did realize that after going into the hardware store shortly after posting this. I think I mentioned it in my spore mounds video :p and power tools are the way to go for sure.
I've got mixxed feelings on this video. It solved a couple of problems I was having and also frusterated me to no end; so I guess I'll follow the instructions at the end: I'll like and subscribe both because I liked the video and because I hated it?
looks AWESOMe, but the " i built" videos where its 3D printed is kinda killing the home built stuff off. its more like kit bashing, ok yes it has to be built, but the bits are already made. its a kit bash, yes a cool one, but 3D printing custom stuff is really killing off the home built craft these days, at least on youtube, everyone is getting 3D printers. does look awesome though!
I get what you're saying. Most of my projects don't lean this heavily on 3d prints. I try to upcycle as much as I can. If you watch my studio tour video you'll see how much trash I have horded lol I actually plan on doing some content around this topic. I don't want to elaborate on that too much :p
@@hauntswargaming I watch lots of your builds, really cool stuff, and you have given me really cool ideas for my own stuff. Hope to see more in the future!
Sweet Build Big guy!!!!!!!! Love the slight angles to give it that time warn look!!!!!!
Thanks :p
Gotta have that necron music in the background. 😂❤ they'll appreciate it.
These look great man! Cool terrain pieces and I love the Necron estethic.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the comment!
Wow! Those look amazing! Well done sir.
Thanks! I appreciate it :)
3mm PVC sheeting works great as basing material. use construction adhesive, and adhesive tile grout for adhering to PVC
I like how you blended the 3D printed stuff with the rocks, very cool
Love this project!! Would definitely look at home on a Star Wars (or even Halo) gameboard!
Yea for sure! :)

Nice work! Very cool and there is a surprising lack of many necron terrain vids

freaking great
Great work, hope you have had some great games on this set up.
I have had one so far :p Many more to come. Thanks for the comment!

That's an interesting idea! I'll have to see if I can find a place that would do that.
Incredible work, def stealing some inspiration from this!
Thanks! :)
Nicely done!
Thank you!
Great job looks amazing
Thanks :)
never seen anyone with a gaming table that looks so realistic
Useful. Thanks.
No problem :) Thanks for the comment

Nice rock work!
Thanks! :)
The material you are using isn't MDF, but is actually is called hardboard, it is a paper based material, so cutting is going to be with power tools.

Mod podge in the drybrush layers! Interesting...
Yea I've been doing that to help strengthen the paint a bit on the first few layers :)
👌👌👌
8:11 Zoom and enhance! That respirator was expired.
good video, but having a getting started video requiring 6 boxes of minis is a bit much. maybe include a 2 box list too.
Lol. This was meant to be on the previous video. Yours was great!
Ugg. Those layer lines. You can defiantly tell what was printed on the FDM printer.
Yea, I don't think it looks as bad on certain things like ruins or sandstone buildings.
You're the only other person I've seen that uses Dr PH Martin!
They make good ink :p

50€ for STL file? Wow! Bit pricey.

So not crafting. Using 3D prints.
