- I cranked out FIVE pieces of fantasy scatter terrain in less than 2 hours... hopefully these will provide some inspiration for you to make your own scatter terrain that is always useful in a wargame or RPG setting.

This is the stuff I love, lots of little scene fillers to make a table look more alive. They all look good, I'll make some tents to match the standing ones. Thanks!
Glad you like them, James.
Scatter terrain is so very important on boards. Helps break things up and add variety. Nice video!
Thanks, Eric.
Yes! Frostgrave scatter terrain!!!!
I'll do some more in the near future.
Scatter terrain is great! I love the fallen down tent, it can be used so much! Nice job
Thanks!
Hey, one place you may not consider right off to get easy cheapish pre-made scatter is the aquarium section at Wal-Mart. I found in there just the other day (i didn't get it) a ruined partialy burried skull with a great stone paint scheme and even tuft grass on it as if it was getting over grown, I think it just about 8 or 10$. Certainly not free but definitely easy.
A good idea!
@@jktechwriter You could also pick up some cheap skeletons from dollar tree (they have human skeletons, as well as ones for rats, bats, spiders (why though?) and ravens. Chop 'em up and make piles of bones from some huge, monstrous creatures. Or make the Bone Wheel from Thaw of the Lich Lord *shrug*
I think my favorite has to be the Obelisk, with variations it could be fantasy (like you did) or sci-fi (some piece of super-advanced alien tech, as aliens not only care that it works, it must look good too :P), need to find an excuse to put it on modern settings for present day or post-apocalyptic settings too
Would fit right in a Lovecraft-themed game.
Love the scatter terrain you made. I picked up some of these little "mini sticks" from hobby lobby as well. They are fun to work with. Great as always Jim!
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out some more uses for them. They look cool.
I have just begun dabbling in crafting terrain and painting miniatures. Your channel popped up in my recommended feed last night and you now have a new sub!
Welcome aboard!
It amazes me that every time i see you use your Proxxon you still use the crappy fence. :-)
Maybe one day I'll buy the fancy one, but for now... I'm good :)
Honestly, little scatter is great for RPGs, but for wargaming and skirmish gaming, it's more of a hassle than it's worth. Instead of making several little pieces of terrain, make small setpieces and scenes. Dont make a campfire, and a few tents, and some bags. Make a larger base with all those items on it. Don't make a bunch of individual pillars, make a ritual circle of pillars. These are still great instructions for making those things, but if you're making them for principally wargaming, make them together on bases, rather than individually.
That kind of defeats the purpose of scatter terrain. I like quick, portable stuff I can throw on the table. I do make larger dioramas, but if I want the tent and not the campfire, a diorama means I'm stuck.
Great pieces!
Thanks, Cal.
Great scatter terrain ideas. I'm going to steal some of these.
Steal away!
Nice quick builds!
Glad you like them... if you make some of your own, post pics on The Tabletop Engineer Facebook page, please!
Hey there,
I just recently came across your channel in my search for diy diorama build ideas. I’m really enjoying the vids and I’m definitely getting ideas from yours. Also I didn’t realize you’re in Atlanta too.
Welcome aboard!
Nice little pieces. Looks like they will add a lot of character!
Cool stuff. Great tutorial.
Appreciate that, ED!
Great video!
Thank you, sir!
Nice!
Thanks, Jacob.
Great scatter. One of your subscribers guided us to your facebook page, love it! Do you ever use a 3d printer?
I do! I'm currently trying to come up with some projects that use 3D printer, laser cutter, and all my other tools and materials.
Brilliant work, simple but really effective.
Question re the bases, do you have any tips on avoiding warping? Cheers!
Wyloch covers the bottom with glue and lets it dry... supposedly fixes the warping issue. I just give them a good bend after I've painted them and they seem to be okay.
James Floyd Kelly thanks, that’s helpful! I’ll try both.
I really want to use chipboard bases as it sits low to the table, but I’ve struggled with warping.
Nice man! just recently did a very similar video myself. Great minds think alike huh?
yep!
