What I really love about this channel is that the quality is constant in every single video. No filler, no bs, only beast builds. The fortress is beautiful, love the banners
I could see this as being an iron warriors chaos stronghold being assaulted by the imperial fists chapter. It would it would make for an awesome photo shoot!!
This is one of my favourite ways to make terrain -- spend a lot of time crafting high detail, small, reusable components, and then mould and recast over and over. Especially for manufactured terrain, this reflects what the original makers would have done anyway, reusing mass produced components wherever possible. This looks great!
@@YOOT_JJ Thanks! It kind of is old school Fire Emblem. I made a program to make custom Fire Emblem portraits for my D&D players using the old GBA assets.
Another home run build Eric! The gate was amazing, between that and your monster bash entry I've been super impressed by your sculpting ability! Keep up the great work
I love your general aesthetic to so many of these projects. There is something about them that reminds me so much of the scrappy look to 90's-00's terrain. You can see the vestiges of what they are made out of, but they are still so fun and evocative.
Those "improvised material" banners are... fitting for the Night Lords I guess. Very homey. You just need to write "Live Laugh Love" and then it's much more welcoming 😆
"Material about the size of a torso, and stitched tohether haphazardly..." Clearly you are referring to poor-quality winter jackets. Another great build, sir!
Battle scars! Explosions! Bullet holes! Breaches! The improvised banners are very cool. Could have highlighted the fact that they come from different ... donors ... by using slightly off base colors on some sections before applying wash ;)
I bought the same Putty, and same thing WRONG directions! lol, Googled it, and made my own molds for my home made Barrels. It works pretty good!! I like this stuff for small molds, have not used it for bigger just yet. I let mine air dry, 6/8 hrs it was perfecto!! Love THIS BUILD LOOKS BAD A$$!!! Nice one again Eric!! I saved it!! For further theft, I MEAN IDEAS!
it is so intimidating! that huge deamon faced door really sells the piece, but even just the structure is so massive, spiky and chainy...embodiement of chaos indeed!
This is so much work. It's cool to see someone who takes that much care for his build. I like that old school cardboard build. And those gates are amazing.
I can’t believe you only have 70k subscribers, you knock it out of the park compared to some “model makers” you deserve a wider audience my friend. Keep pushing quality always wins out.
Fourth time viewing this video before I go out tomorrow and get the pink foam insulation and foamboard and start giving m and Nick's Chaos Space Marines their new home. How about some Dark Eldar theme's to give me some idea's for my own section of Webway tunnel of Cammorragh I'm making in a shipping container. It'll literally have structures a full 360* with a black sun star at it's heart in the first 8"x10"x20" section and an entire death match arena and "under-spire, Homunculus coven's torture chamber and lab setup in the other half of the container(not counting the walkways for gameplay). Currently, a Chaos Space Marine 4"x8" setup sounds perfect for the loft section of the barn that we have our weekend 40k sessions in. Again, great YT channel Eric, Many MANY great idea's, tips and techniques learned here on Eric's Hobby Workshop! Thank you for taking the time you do to produce this material.
i think i know why the chain broke: Blackmagiccraft did a video yesterday, where he dripped superglue onto superwatery pva glue. it gave nice 3d-shapes, like craters. I suspect that you spraying water onto superglue had the same expanding effect, and it broke one chainlink.
Great job with all the extra details. If the Iron Warriors had raised this fortress they would have put murder holes in the floor of the battlements overhanging the gate.
these turned out great! the hand sculpted gates are crazy cool, definitely worth putting the extra time into a big centerpiece like that, and the banners and other hanging details really took it to the next level. excited to see the next part of this series!
Awesome looking fortress, would be great for the Iron Warriors with the whole metallic colours, heavy walls and the iron/bronze gate, even with the fleshbanners fitting the lore as slavemasters. Nice!
Hey Eric, fantastic work! Little piece of advice for removing fingerprints from polymer clay: rub a little bit of rubbing alcohol on the surface of the material with either a silicone brush or your fingertip. Takes all the imperfections right off and can also really help to smooth transitions between parts. Also, odorless Nivea creme is a great alternative to oil for keeping greenstuff non-stick, as it's water based and doesn't carry the risk of breaking out your skin or potentially causing paint adhering issues. It also keeps your hands very soft. ^_^
Crazy timing on this! I also ordered a hot wire cutter and am planning to make a modular wall + gatehouse for my Warhammer Roleplay campaign. I found that while I can craft a lot of smaller projects, like houses and gallows and furniture and whatever, but when it comes to big architectural pieces, my hobby knife skills are just not up to snuff and the larger the piece is the more the warped cuts and stuff become mountains out of molehills and everything looks real skewed. Excited to get my hot wire table and looking forward to seeing what you make next
I love how the big bad setting of 40k for the imperium is also simultaneously the underdog, because humanities last hope that is weak and on the brink of death is also just curb stomping everyone
That door looks amazing, great work! Looking forward to seeing all the stuff you cut for time. According to the owner of my local game store, I think the Citadel skull box is GW's bestselling product.
the door is erik...ahhh...epic! This is a very cool project again, thank you 4 beeing so cool and crafting! keep on doing it, enjoy and we’ll do it too:)
This is an amazing build to work with, but I really wonder how much more could you add to this wall to really make it feel like a true Chaos fortification? Maybe some chaos stars? Maybe something for summoning deamons? Maybe a loyalist or two hung from the walls? Maybe something for that Chaos Lord to over look his realm/conquest? Hella good stuff, excited to see more from you!
Good job on the project. The chipboard cut to the size you want for the walls might have been easier than using the puddy. Banner was neat. I use platicard and heat it up then bending it the way I want.
"What's this made out of anyway?" I don't know, I got it from Conrad Kurze's weirdos. Let me ask.. "WAIT. Never ask the Night Lords anything. They're so fucking weird."
Archeologists people have been doing it since ages now, We do not know what it might be for? Ritual use! no joke there is a definitely-not-a-penis carved from marble in a museum with the amazing name of ritualistic item.
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop So, you guys watch Time Team too? But honestly, from an anthropological point of view, the ritual explanation is far more plausible as most people are aware. We are using rituals so much in every day live, that we just don't recognise them as such. Just what would you call board games?
Great video Eric. I fabricate almost everything I make. The molding you use looks real cool. Your methods and materials worked out great. You just proved that you can teach a old dog [ me ] new tricks. Thanks
Such beauty in morbidity! Excelent work. But a fortress this magnificent should also have a keep for its master to reside in. Would you consider making that in future?
When you made the molds for clay crenulations, it would be interesting to see how well it would work with finer details. It seems like a good time to look for some skulls in the bits box!
What I really love about this channel is that the quality is constant in every single video. No filler, no bs, only beast builds.
The fortress is beautiful, love the banners
As a physical anthropologist I can agree, when in doubt "it has ritual significance"

I know this comment is a little old, but you have a very nice profile picture. Looks like old school Fire Emblem.

THOSE DETAILS OMG
7:52 OH NOW LOOK AT THIS CHAD HERE cuttin' straights freehand.
That tip for making hexagonal shapes with foam board is brilliant!
Another home run build Eric! The gate was amazing, between that and your monster bash entry I've been super impressed by your sculpting ability! Keep up the great work
Thanks! Sculpting is a lot of fun

Couldn’t put my finger on it, but “scrappy” is absolutely right! “How to Make Wargames Terrain” vibes right here.
Those "improvised material" banners are... fitting for the Night Lords I guess. Very homey.
You just need to write "Live Laugh Love" and then it's much more welcoming 😆
Hahaha live laugh love in latin would probably sound like cool words for a homebrew legion
Now I want to see "Live, laugh, love" scrawled in blood on the build 😂
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Vivere, Ridere, Amare
Music: _bright and cheerful piccolo and mandolin_
Eric: _describing in gruesome detail all the horrible things the Night Lords do to their prisoners_
This Legend is like the Bob Ross of Terrain. not only is he dope a.f. you can tell hes just pretty fuckin chill.
Agreed. If you dig this style, also check out Terrainaholic from Canada. Eric’s awesome!
"Material about the size of a torso, and stitched tohether haphazardly..." Clearly you are referring to poor-quality winter jackets. Another great build, sir!
The soft improvisational jazz playing while you talk about hanging the "IMPROVISED MATERIAL BANNER" really got me laughing.
how to CSM:
1. Aquire thing
2. put spikes
Battle scars! Explosions! Bullet holes! Breaches!
The improvised banners are very cool. Could have highlighted the fact that they come from different ... donors ... by using slightly off base colors on some sections before applying wash ;)
So many tiny details. Well done!
Thanks Knarb!!
The lighting through the gate at the beginning is a 💯😙👌. Love it!
12:40 Yes yes yes please. I'd love to see how you made all the additional parts!
I bought the same Putty, and same thing WRONG directions! lol, Googled it, and made my own molds for my home made Barrels. It works pretty good!!

There's nothing wrong with those instructions. It's just that you and Eric don't know what "volume" means.
The gate came out amazing!
Thanks Nathan, im really happy woth that part too
YES ! Feed my chaos infused heart 🤘
Chaos needs more love!!
I enjoyed the improvised banner bit. Gonna look up how to sculpt/mold/cast because that seems handy.
I like the skin banners and the Gate! Reminds me of the book of the Necronomicon from Evil Dead!!!
it is so intimidating! that huge deamon faced door really sells the piece, but even just the structure is so massive, spiky and chainy...embodiement of chaos indeed!
Wow ! Realy amazing . Continu your great work budy .
Everything in the video was impressive but that gate is ASTOUNDING. Fantastic video, super detailed and helpful tips!
21:34 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲 *Pre-coloured Spackle Soup?!*
This is so much work. It's cool to see someone who takes that much care for his build. I like that old school cardboard build. And those gates are amazing.
Hobby goals. Serious terrainaholic vibes. Great work, brilliant idea!

The fortress has a classic Chaos look. Love it! I especially love the door.
Dude! You are seriously talented!!
That gate is perfection!
Outstanding sir. Better every video

@12:17 Ritual significance is SUPER important for chaos. If you don't do the ritual correctly the gods will look at you with disfavor
That is one made-with-love detailed project. The effect of those tiny skulls with the chains on the crenellations blew me away. AWESOME build!
Holy shit, that sculpted door is unreal. You're a terrain god!
The details give it such a menacing look! Love this build :)
Thanks Aurora!!
I drank every time you said crenellation and now I'm in the hospital with alcohol poisoning. Thanks Eric....JK, great work dude.

That skullface gate is epic. Congrats!
Genius! I am so impressed with your skills. Gosh you can sculpt! Keep up the great work.
Great job with all the extra details. If the Iron Warriors had raised this fortress they would have put murder holes in the floor of the battlements overhanging the gate.
ritual significance is my go to excuse for most things lol. love ya bro keep it up always the best
12:16 love the archaeological reference. So true.
You’re a GOD at this shit dude

that gate - damn! always super impressed by your sculpting skills, great job as always!
Awesome build Eric, love that sculpted door and the improvised banners!
That gate is ridiculously cool.
I bet you’re so proud of this build. This is amazing. The time and fiddley effort to make those detailed parts. Also that gate is f**king amazing
Thanks Sam. Im somewhat happy with it, but i have more coming!!
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Awesome, can’t wait

This putty seems to be exactly what I am looking for to get into making molds and trying my hands at it
Love that the pointed outcropping over the door looks like a crown! Perhaps some chaotic gems in the crenellations to enhance this?

Just hang some primaris loser off the side and your golden.
As someone that use to build all my terrain i really like your work.
So excited for the stairs and bridges.
Good job on the project.
The chipboard cut to the size you want for the walls might have been easier than using the puddy.
Banner was neat. I use platicard and heat it up then bending it the way I want.
Wow, such a clever choice for the crennellations and other detailing really sells this piece. Awesome job.
Thanks Johnny, The crenellations design is the part im most proud of i think
Conrad Kurze, with what are you playing? - Improvised fleshcolored Material
"What's this made out of anyway?"
I don't know, I got it from Conrad Kurze's weirdos. Let me ask..
"WAIT. Never ask the Night Lords anything. They're so fucking weird."
Chains and dakka, the two things we can't have enough of. Also spikey bitz.
Holy Hell
That Demon Door Is OUTSTANDING
So Cool
I Am So Impressed
🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
You make me want to stop working hard to buy my terrain and really work hard to build it!!! Thank you for the motivation!
Oh, I am SO stealing 'it has ritual significance' as an excuse for absolutely everything.
Its a great excuse lol
Archeologists people have been doing it since ages now, We do not know what it might be for?
Ritual use!
no joke there is a definitely-not-a-penis carved from marble in a museum with the amazing name of ritualistic item.

It's the Chaos Space Marines, so it might even be true.
Awesome build mate, really cool🤘🤘.. the details, incredible 🤘
That door came out fabulous! As always, thanks for sharing your content, Eric!
Thanks Max!
I have to try it and make a thousand son's fortress as a gift for my oldest 40k partner! Many thanks for the tips!! ;)
Great video Eric. I fabricate almost everything I make. The molding you use looks real cool. Your methods and materials worked out great. You just proved that you can teach a old dog [ me ] new tricks. Thanks
The sculpt on the gate makes it!
"improvised material banner" got me good
Kinda nice unintended effect, the crenellations over the doors form a "crown" for the demonic face.
That gate is next level!
Oh great, now I’m gonna buy an Iron Warriors army just to make this so my imperial fists can lay siege to it
Sounds like a sweet plan
I got a really good chuckle out of "ritual significance", mate. Great build!
Oh yeah, man! Eric, your builds continue to be amazing and I'm so looking at using some these techniques on my next terrain build
Good job mate, really nice
Such beauty in morbidity! Excelent work. But a fortress this magnificent should also have a keep for its master to reside in. Would you consider making that in future?
that gate is looking hell a fresh
I love that door, but the whole things just awesome 😮
When you made the molds for clay crenulations, it would be interesting to see how well it would work with finer details. It seems like a good time to look for some skulls in the bits box!
I guess you did use to good ol' box of skulls in the end!
Really cool gate! It really takes it to the next level
Modular castle? Empire build? Or bretonnian? Maybe with a modular shaven dungeon???
Absolutely sick! Excellent build, well done!
Looks cool I'd love to see your idea of cyberpunk style building
Your instructions are very clear I'm going to have to give this a go. Thanks!
This is awesome! Glad to seem some continuation on this system.
That fortress turn out great!
u should be designing toys or smth like that... that door is too motu! amazing as always!
I'm excited to see the other chaos add ons!
Love this technique for the gate sooo cool!!!!
Wow! Those gates are awesome!
