I like how you’re not afraid to mix and match brands and show off what you could do when combining your collection together
Thanks! Yeah, most of us will be mixing and matching to some degree, so it's nice to see how they work together. -Theo
I LOVE the little pool of water inside the forest using the bank transitions. I use negative space ALL the time in my DF builds but why the heck have I not done that yet?! It looks sooo awesome!
This is amazing, I seriously dream of getting to play (even just a one shot for an evening) on a set as cool as this some day.
Another great review. While I do not think I would ever buy the whole set, I could see getting a piece or two for setting a scene.
It's nicely flexible in that way. Thanks! -Theo
I really appreciate seeing this set in tandem with the WizKids sets! Would also be interested in seeing a review of Caverns' Deep. Thank for the awesome video!
The thing about the Caverns Deep pieces is that I got them all unpainted. I'm working my way through painting them all, but... it takes time! :-) -Theo
@@TheGallantGoblin Totally understand - got them unpainted as well! I'm sure ya'll would do a great review when finished though! I want to say just "Netflix and drybrush" but I keep finding cool little details that demand to be highlighted.
I love it. Didn’t dragon come out with something similar? I’d love to see you review that if you ever got the chance
Dragon? I'm not sure what you're referring to.
This terrain is slick!
Yes, indeed! -Theo
I'm waiting for this to hit the webstore.
I imagine it should be hitting the store pretty soon. I think most of the Kickstarter orders are fulfilled now. -Theo
This was a great video, like all of your content. I just wish that I could afford it. This would look awesome on the gaming table. Thanks again for the videos.
Thank you! Dwarven Forge can be quite expensive, but a lot of alternatives are coming out this year. Stay tuned to the channel and hopefully you'll find something that works perfectly for you! -Theo
This is beautiful! Especially love how the goblin and cemetary sets work with the DF set. :D
DF is a bit too expensive for me though. :)
Yeah, I was curious how it would all look together. We'll try to show future sets on the forest terrain when appropriate. -Theo
That would be cool! I like seeing stuff like this. :)
I loved how the Goblin set worked with it, the other sets were extremely cool as well ( especially the cemetery), but the gobs was a home run.
$800 bucks painted? Thank God, for crafting videos.
Heh, up until now I've been using little tree models from model train sets stuck into bits of styrofoam. The bases weren't heavy enough, so I used putty to attach quarters to the bottom of them. They worked well enough. This hobby is great in that you can play with no props, home built props, or fancy things like Dwarven Forge. Doesn't really change the fundamental enjoyment of the game. It's just a matter of what people want to spend their money on. -Theo
1050 now that its live
think i still rather have the forge
Just dropped $800 on some Caverns Deep so I feel the pain lol.
Ahhhh! I shall not covet.. I shall not covet
Even if the price is prohibitive for me it’s got plenty of good ideas to copy
Yeah! And the nice thing about Dwarven Forge is that you can pick up just a few pieces. You don't have to buy the whole set. -Theo
Wow
Looks great but too pricey for me
Yeah, this is certainly a higher end option. Luckily, the hobby supports lots of different map/combat options so hopefully everyone can find something that works for their game style and budget. -Theo
Wow this thing looks amazing. Costly too, but amazingly detailed and I love the flexiibility of differently sized modular trees. What did you say what material this was made of? Because certainly I'd imagine storing these and keeping them unbroken would be the biggest problem.
I would sure as heck invest in this for a mini display forest if I had a bigger flat... as it is, not likely to do so anytime soon.
They call it Dwarvenite. According to their wiki, "Dwarvenite is a non-toxic, PVC based material, specially compounded to hold precise detail, take paint well, and withstand a serious beating." "Original Dwarvenite Game Tiles were thrown off a 10-story tower, and then run over with a truck - and there was no damage." And yeah, I don't worry one bit about my dwarven forge pieces getting damaged. They also have castle, cavern, mountain, burrows, dungeon, and town pieces. It's the same company that makes the town set that we show in almost all our videos. -Theo
I hoping to get a second set and about four of those bank sets
Curious to see how it meshes with the new Wildlands Kickstarter... -Theo
OMG It's really gorgeous, but so expensive, it costs twice my monthly salary. It also looks a bit like a small set piece, with very limited potential, which is something I often tend to search for stuff that I can use often.
That's why I like the Homestead set, the Jungle Shrine, the barracks... Because even though I will not use them completley that often, many bits and pieces can make an appearance in different scenarios.
Once again, great review! :D
It is quite expensive. Another option that I wish I had shown is that you can just get a few forest and tree pieces with some banks and use them like other scatter terrain on your regular battle map. You can get some transition banks pieces to help make them look natural. Then you'll have cool terrain with few pieces at a less expensive price point, plus you'll have lots of flat room on the battle map in order to display your other sets like the Jungle Shrine. So instead of using the Dwarven Forge as the entire battle map, use it as scatter terrain. -Theo
@@TheGallantGoblin That sounds more interesting now, but still far too steep for me.
I'll give this to the product: The sheer shock value and the ability to impress it's really there, if I were to play with something like these at say, a convention, I'm sure many people will have a hard to forget session
That's true. It makes a great impression. I find some players can completely immerse themselves using just their imaginations, but others can be helped by little imagination-aids. Things like terrain, mini, spell reference cards and spell effect minis. Sound effects and music too. It's just what works best for your group of players and yourself! Thanks for watching and commenting! -Theo
Any word on when it will be in the store? I missed the Kickstarter as I'm only new to the hobby.
Those a nice item, lot of trees, plants, place where encounter would meet, still too expensive, so follow the tears,oh boy,follow the tears
Pretty, but absurdly expensive.
They need to find a way to make this stuff more reasonable in terms of price.
I doubt we'll see a reduction in the Dwarven Forge prices anytime soon, but the Wizkids Warlock tiles should be more affordable. We'll be covering those soon! -Theo
Hand-sculpted, hand-painted, modular, and indestructible makes the price reasonable.
Where did you the hut?
Could you please provide a timestamp so we can check? I'm guessing you mean the 4D Settings Jungle Shrine set but there are many sets that include buildings that look like huts. -Grady
@@TheGallantGoblin 4:01 and can you also give me a link to the transition pieces I can't find them on the site. The time stamp for those was 5:38
@@tonyhsloanejr The hut at 4:01 is from WizKids' Jungle Shrine set from their 4D Settings line. You seem to be correct that the transition pieces are not currently on the Dwarven Forge site. You may need to ping them via social media or their contact us form to ask if they'll be making those available again.
@@TheGallantGoblin ahhh ok thank you I will
its pretty, but doesn't look very usable and just like all dwarven forge stuff overpriced imho
It's very usable! I've run a campaign mostly set in woodlands for the the last 3 months. So, this set has spent a good 50+ hours on my table. My group loves it! Yeah, it's expensive, but I'm happy to have spent for it.
Looks usable. But yeah for 800 bucks... ouch xD
I agree. It really blocks fields of view. Its pricey but it it nice looking
As for the field of view, you can pretty easily remove the tree-tops at will to get easier access to the forest floor. -Theo
I understod 800 bucks? crazy
Dwarven Forge isn't cheap. Though there's a good bit you can do with just a few pieces of this set. -Theo
The Gallant Goblin theo thanks for answering. Greetings from Spain
Thanks so much! I need to visit Spain one day! -Theo
That set is gorgeous, but it didn't look very practical though
Reading through the comments now, I should have shown a few more ways to use the terrain. I pretty much kept the same arrangement of pieces for the entire video, but it can be rearranged to make it work for a variety of situations. It's also possible to just use a few pieces as scatter terrain on a regular battle map. I may play with it a bit this week and upload some pictures onto our Instagram channel to show alternate ways of using it. -Theo
@@TheGallantGoblin For me, the problem was that there was too many details to look at, even without the top part of the trees. Having too many things to look at can make the game slower and even kill its vibe depending on whom you are playing with.
In my actual game i have to use a dry eraser board only and the minis, and just for some combats
Oh, I gotcha. Yeah, I think every group has something different that works best for them. I certainly run my various groups differently. Some use minis, some use more theater of the mind; some want music and sound effects, others don't. It's definitely a matter of taste. -Theo
@@TheGallantGoblin Indeed it is a matter of taste. I forgot to mention, i think it's nice you guys are stepping out of the Wiz Kids stuff and reviewing other products!
Looks awedome but how much is a set of these bad boys? The only guys who can afford it and have enough time to set things up are probably guys paid to play *cough*critical role*cough
This is the pricing from their Kickstarter but we don’t know what it’ll look like in their online store yet: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dwarvenforge/caverns-deep-by-dwarven-forge-handcrafted-game-ter/posts/2259173
Hell yeah first comment
