HUGE THANKS ARCHVILLAIN GAMES FOR SPONSORING THIS VIDEO! CHECK THEM OUT : bit.ly/AVBMC
In this episode I create some really cool modular, Egyptian themed, desert terrain. Can work well for TTRPGs like Dungeons & Dragons or Wargaming like Age of Sigmar. Could be used with battle mat or dungeon tiles.

They are stupidly talented. It was an auto support for me.
Now I need a 3d printer. Been wanting one so bad.... I'm wait until they're more user friendly, I'm not a tech head and all the ones I've seen are way to complicated on the tech end. I have a brother scan-n-cut, all it does is cut paper/vinyl/fabric, and that thing took me forever to get right. If I cant fix it with a hammer it's too techy for me LOL how often do you actually use the one you have? I wouldn't mind getting a glowforge tho, but I'd have to take out a loan for one of those 😆.
Hey man, I am someone with horrible tremors who wants to get into the hobby (I have SO many AdMech still on sprue). It is very encouraging to see someone as successful as you fighting them and kicking ass. I mean, damn just look at THOSE COLUMNS!!!
Where's that one guy to complain that everything is beige this time? Since he was so offended by your brown paint job on the torment build.
@@pappajudas9267 LOL there's always that one. Personally, I loved the job he did on that project and the pooh paint fit the project but there's no pleasing everyone, no matter how well you do a job there will ALWAYS be someone to nit pick or claim to do better.
Those minis are begging to step out of the wall to become an encounter!
Absolutely had the same thought.
I felt like that too
Yeah, I'm wondering whether you could magnetise the minis, so that they pop out and become functional living statues!
I agree! Keep the minis on their bases and incorporate the base into the bass relief design. Magnetize them or use some sort of temporary adhesive to keep them in place. Then pop those badasses out to attack player characters!
@@alexbarrett3832 Yeah, it'd be so simple to put in a magnet, or even just cut a slot deep enough to hold their base. Maybe put them on square bases, and make them look like they're standing on a shelf attached to the stonework. Use a couple of mini's and bases to have some "blank" spots on the walls too.
The only thing missing is a tiny Brendan Fraser running around there, very nice work!
This is the temple on "the wrong side of the river" with Benny.
Sword and Sandal settings get nowhere near the love they need. I'd love to see you do more awesome Egyptian/Sumerian/Levantine/etc terrains! Great job.
My Call of Cthulhu players are going back in time, and they're probably going to be stuck there for a while, so I intend to cover the Sword and Sandal thoroughly! Because you're right--it's awesome, but many people just think "European fantasy."
Heating up those hot metal boys for the perfect hole that was made for them is genius, I love it!
😂😂
Love your work, btw!!
These are great! Fantastic colour
color*
@@spoonerismstuff I apologise
*colour
@@spoonerismstuff Not always...British/Australian/NZ English = colour. US English = color. Just one of many differences between the two. English spellings were codified after the Revolution/War of Independence, hence the differences. As Churchill once said: "Two peoples separated by a common language." (and he was half American.)
The spray damage and the final color really looks like 'Bone' chunks! Imagine some grotesque fleshy place or perhaps a village built into the bones of an old giant...
That’s an idea worth trying to remember!
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial six month memory booster while I'm binging videos, then!
Probably one of the best builds you've ever done imo.
Agreed! I thought they were 3D prints as first glance. Very nicely done
Amazing project!
This is awesome. One of my scrapped projects was trying to make architectural sculpture 40k walls by pressing broken push-fit models into green stuff. It... didn't work very well. Maybe I'll try again!
"Man, what a pain in the ass carving the wall around those minis!"
"...................."
"OHHHHHHH!"
Right? I saw those minis in there in the intro and was like, dang... then I saw how he did and and I was like... DAAAANG
Love the use of the Wargods of Aegyptus models!
The texture applied via the spray-can propellant looks superb.
I did this kind of terrain already for my history project in school
I had a lot of fun not only making the terrain but also a one shot campaign that went with it ( I got a 100 on the project )
"The first full day was scrapped"
No it wasn't. You were prototyping. You tried something out before fully committing and decided it didn't work.
Glad to see you back in action Jeremy. These look fantastic man
using the metal miniatures to melt fitting cavities into the foam is a stroke of genius. With the paint it really looks as if they were carved out of the stones.
PERFECT TIMING! Thank you.
Those look awesome. Ancient Egypt is endlessly fascinating, and desert storms still reveal sites thought lost to history. The great thing about Egyptian ruins, is that they DID build secret chambers, and they DID put unpleasant traps in their tombs, like 'bottomless' pits - the early Egyptologist Belzoni found one in an excavated tomb, early in his career, his strength and agility (he had been a circus strong man) saving him from an unpleasant death. Ancient Egypt has to be the most flexible RPG scenario of all.
Then, of course, you have the short story that H.P. Lovecraft wrote for Harry Houdini: 'Imprisoned With The Pharaohs'. Definitely full of ideas, that one.
Using minis for statues or carved out figures in terrain is a really neat idea! Great video, always nice to see the thought process too.
Simply amazing !!! The partial melting of the foam due to PRIMER spray give the ageing effect of the real stones (small dots of erosion). The colors are matching perfectly sand.
As always BRAVO.
Those are so badass and the metal minis as carvings was a stroke of genius!
A tiny Imhotep would be awesome to see! That spray melting foam technique is genius!
Amonkhet, here we come!!! That terrain is magnificent! And the presentation especially the highlight closeups in beginning!
Those pillar jigs are simply genius!
You could use tiles with these for sandy beach as well and add in a few scatter terrain pieces with some palm trees! Very nicely done sir!
So, fun fact, since limestone is actually the calcified remains of ancient sea creatures, meaning that it is quite porous, that bubbling and melting effect is actually a very realistic duplication of how real limestone would weather and break down when exposed to the blistering heat and wind-blown sand of a scorching desert.
Back to a classic BMC video where we simply build some terrain, great video !
Back to basics AND something new - that's a win-win in my book.
Man these bring me back to 6th grade history projects! Love Egypt and it's thematic content. I had actually thought the mini's you sunk in the walls were going to jump out in the intro video as living sculptures so maybe a mod to add would be a magnet or securing pin thing and keep them all playable. Keep it rocking my friend and be well.
That double prime worked wonders for the texture it looks very realistic. Awesome craft Man!
It's sure looks amazing. I've been meaning to make a Egypt ruins terrain for years
Wow! I am blown away by how simple these were to make!
Always loved the Egyptian themed games. (Anyone else remember Wargods of Aegyptus? Painted a few of those back in the early 2000s.)
Very nice. =)
These turned out fantastic! I love all the techniques that you used :)
Well there's something I didn't know I needed in my life. It's not a setting I've considered recently. It was so over used in media at a stage that I think I felt it was tacky to use for my TTRPGs but it may be time to reconsider.
BTW I was listening to Distorted Memory for the first time in ages yesterday and it transported me back to a simpler time of pleather skirts and studded collars before I discovered what a drag adulting would be, was a very welcome escape.
Thank you for all the different types of content that you have created over the years.
I paused my campaign for six months waiting for this video. Thanks @BlackMagicCraft!!!
Holy crickets, Jeremy!! This is totally bad ass!! Love this terrain!!
Love to see a old-school BM terrain video again! Missed this. 🙏🏼 Great video!
I really like the creativity in these. They're fun and look pretty straightforward.
Unsolicited incredibly involved and complex follow-up project recommendation: Giant multi-layered pyramid dungeon! Or maybe a Valley of the Kings style modular dungeon set!
Egyptian stuff is my FAVORITE.
I don't think anyone's piped in yet so I'll say that most of the figures embedded into the walls/used as statues are WarGods of Aegyptus figures from Crocodile Games. Great build!
If there was a way to non-permanently secure the minis into the wall, I could see a cool mechanic for these areas being the statues acting like ancient temple guardians who peel themselves off the walls to attack intruders. No idea how you could secure them in the walls in such a way that you could still remove them, and that they still look authentic to the build, but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw you used minis for decoration.
Omg how do you always manage to make a video on a topic I’m already thinking about?! Awesome as always!!!
OMG those foam pillars using the jig looks ridiculously amazing!
This whole set is scorching hot!
It feels that this family time get's you Back to your desk with a lot of creativity. Man i already thought you will never end up with brown stumpy swamps. Thanks for this new theme. It's nice to have you back!
WOW! Would make some awesome Necron/Stargate style terrain!
Those pillars amazingly impressive
At the top of the foam melt, you could have placed some skeletal remains as if a person died and their biowaste corroded the surrounding stone, like real life. Also I wished so much that the wall figures could come out like Legends of the Hidden Temple. Loved the video!
Yay more videos, I was wondering where you were last week. Glad to see things are doing okay.
Was hoping the wall statues would come off, so you could use them for an encounter. Cool stuff as always!
Just have extra minis for that
Could try attaching them with magnets, but that depends on the metal. you would have to paint the models separately
yes def make some flooring, those are worth it to create an awesome scene. Very convincing stone.
Needed a mini with missing bits, or lines cut through them to match the wall stone.
Love that pillar shaping jig.
I was hoping to see the miniatures in the wall to be able to pop out and be an enemy that players have to fight, a living stone statue.
You could do that if you wish. Personally I’d just have extra statue minis on bases.
Oh man. The Pyramid Golem is awesome. I'm not in a good place RN to buy a 3D printer, but if I do in the future, getting a Pyramid Golem is one motivation.
The texture you got on the desert rocks is spectacularly realistic. Very good work ... as always ;-)
Totally liked this. Already got my Archvillain desert set AND bought the one from last year too on myminifactory. I love desert stuff and this was right up my alley!
Thinking of making a horror skirmish game set in 1920s, this would make great scatter terrain for a mummy themed scenario
These are simply amazing! They can work for RPG's or Miniature Wargaming! Nice work as always!
Cracking terrain! I love the reuse of those minis!
Props to archvillain, those beetle warriors look amazing
Красота же! Ширина стен мне особенно нравится
Definitely one of the best BMC builds so far! Can't get enough of the Egyptian stuff.
Probably your best craft so far.
Love this color as an excellent change of pace.
These terrain pieces turned out so good! I love how chunky they are and the texture is great! Also genius techniques, melting in the minis and even that pillar jig.. didn't know these existed, but I love that they do.
Ahhhh you hit me in the heart and mind. Desert environment is my favorite because it's so beautiful the neutral color pallet of it. And you did a great job. This seriously inspired me!
I really like the chunkier scale terrain on this one and the weathered damage, fantastic set. I look forward to your expansion on this desert themed terrain.
Eerie, just yesterday i was talking again about how i wanted to do a desert themed tileset for a campaign i've been planning for a while, but that i was struggling with ideas.
This is totally a godsend ❤❤❤❤!
I like your original attempt and may try replicating it myself for my own terrain. With that said your final product is awesome.
I love that video! I usually enjoy your work, but ancient Egypt has been a really long time love for me so I was very happy when I saw the sneak peek picture on Facebook! I waited until I came back from my first day of work since October to watch your new video as a treat to congratulate myself for surviving Day One! 😂 Anyway, I really love the results you got and they look really really cool!!
That would be amazing to have a campaign built and themed like this!
Nice work mate! really love how they turned out. Those archvillain minis look amazing...will have to get on that 😅
one of my faves of your builds! what a great modular set!
So much awesome in this video - I still love the fact that you show what doesn't work and then how you adapted. (and bonus hidden tip for us Cdn types, that CanTire spray primer doesn't melt foam)
This is so good! What an epic looking peice, and so nicely put together. 👌 Top marks
Wow! Amazing build! Not that I don't enjoy your diorama videos, but this is OG Blackmagic! Such a great build and fantastic colour. Those pillars are crazy amazing! Boom!! :D
My favorite terrain video ever! This set is amazing!
Love this. I've been leaning more towards this color scheme lately with my action figure dioramas and it's such a nice change from shades of grey.
I want to do a diorama of a downed fighter plane in the desert some time and now I'm thinking maybe there need to be some Egyptian ruins in the background.
Great build Jeremy! Love the big chunky look of the blocks. Feels very monolithic. Seems lots of different artistic avenues are going Egyptian at the moment. My July Patreon model is also going there. I’m also sending you a message on Patreon in a moment. Cheers man.
This is perfect for a badlands board I just finished up. Thanks.
I would love to see more of this desert theme. This is the coolest thing you have made in the last months
This is super fun, man. Love the idea!
I really missed this kind of video, where you talk us through your thought process, the difficulties you faced, how you recovered. I found this much more enjoyable to watch than when you did your Torment set (not that those terrain pieces aren't any less awesome). I think my only critique would be that I'd probably try to carve alcoves for those statues instead of melting them into the foam to look like carvings I think you'd be better off doing carvings with that texturing method you learned with pencils. But they still turned out great.
This is the typical type video here. They always go through thought process and difficulties. Torment series was the change of form. Sorry but comment has me a little lost. Maybe you’ve missed a bunch of videos over the past few months? 🤷🏻♂️
Yes! I’ve been wanting some desert terrain!
Now I'm dreaming of a Mummy gaming session. Going to have to see if anyone out there has created printable versions of Rick, Evie and Jonathon.
Looks awesome, thank you for not shying away from oils like so many others do! Also would have never thought to embed a mini into foam!
A really satisfying build to watch come together. Great job as always :)
Paint it black and green and this would make amazing Necron terrain, I think I will try just that
One of the best builds in a long time
The sandstone color and textures are spot on! 👌
YES! There's so mich content in desert terrain, but almost never with a egyptian or ancient civilization theme. Thanks for the inspiration, Jeremy - just imagining Thousand Sons or old Khemri models in that terrain is an awesome picture in my head. :)
Outstanding build! Really nice results
Sweet sandstone! Where do you usually get your large XPS blocks btw?
Friend in Germany 🙂 never found that thick locally.
A video on a Monday is making my wee poor brain all itchy. But it was very good and fun! I love the minis melted into the walls.
Switching to a different schedule. Videos will no longer come out on the same day every week :)
Hello Sir - Please don't refer to your mistakes as "wasted". You learned a lot by powering past your missteps and also used them to show us your process and help us to see what we may not want to do as well. :D
Really enjoyed this one, one of your best vids IMO!
Another great video, I love the fact that you're adding new things, techniques and approaches and looks, to the videos. Keeps it exciting and fresh.
I like so much the attitude, not a day lost but a great video made!!
Looks like it'd be perfect for the dnd amonkhet setting. :)
