Even the cat was impressed by this video

Not a bad starting point for terrain building. Just make sure that your cans are washed properly or you will get ants. If you want to seal your cardboard edges, you can cut strips of thin cereal box cardboard or use light weight air dry clay.

This us the furst real beginner friendly terrain tutorial ive seen.
Getting junk from around the house is king!

This is what its all about! Really feels like authentic 40K before 3D printing and overpriced terrain sets. Great job! Im now a subscriber.

Great job. I made a couple custom terrains just by sprues, so i know how difficult it is, but damn, that satisfaction is great!

[@irishbatman2917]

For the cardboard walls you can use a nail or pencil to punch holes through it. To represent bolters and blasters going through it.

I liked how approachable this seemed. A feel like a lot of the ones I see are made by people with hundreds or thousands of hours of crafting experience and everything they do, even off the cuff comes out looking perfect.

Great video. Going to my list of stuff for new players.

I'll make buildings from the trays from cookie packaging. I used Mod Podge and paper to strengthen their trays and then add details, then prime and paint.

[@OWMCreativeTabletop]

Oh, that is a great one! I will write it in my notes and make some other terrain with it!

Subscribed! Great pieces and creativity. .

Very dope and helpful! :D I love these cost-effective creative solutions! To me, this is what the hobby is all about.
Do you have a video on the type of wet palette you use? Looks really effective!

[@OWMCreativeTabletop]

Not yet, But I do love this wet pallet! It saved my paints for over 2 weeks while I traveled. I will make a video soon(ish) on all of my equipment despite how little I have.
In the meantime, here is an affiliate link to the exact wet pallet I use: amzn.to/3UiojeY
and a similar but I think smaller and more affordable one: amzn.to/4aS4bWu

@@OWMCreativeTabletop Thanks so much, my friend!! 🥰 I super appreciate that, and I look forward to the video!

[@Spekd]

I really enjoy the whole setup and step by step instructions. There is nothing wrong with some well crafted home terrain. I still have some of the very first terrain that I build for my 40K games. Good job overall and I look forward to more of your content. Subscribed!

[@LionCereal]

Terrain should work well for kill team, good job. I love how you break up empty spaces on terrain by painting on it - gives it a comic feel but works great. I would definitely love to play on that table. Have you thought about hiding that corrugation of the cardboard?

[@OWMCreativeTabletop]

I have thought about it! My brother made fun of me for it, but I don't mind it. A friend pointed out for things like the floating ledges, the corrugation works well as a texture because it makes a pho-support beam kind of look. For something like the wall, a bit of milliput or other epoxy type things could be used to spread a thin layer over the corrugation to hide it before priming and painting.

Good video! Song title? It's mesmerazing

[@rhetoricbytolyan1987]

Very nice and cheap and cheerful. One observation, I assume the walls are make of metal sheets (since they are so rusty. Whatever force teared them apart I would think that every layer would follow in a similar pattern to the layer next to it. Also I would add some rivets to hold different sheets of metal together.

[@OWMCreativeTabletop]

I think you are definitely right about how a layered metal sheet would tear! I filmed the video as I figured things out, so my voice over sounds much more confident with instructions than in the moment of creation, I didn't really have a plan for what the wall would be.
I really like the idea of the rivets too! I have some little pins with a bit of a bulbed end that would be perfect to just poke through the cardboard to create that extra elevated rivet. Maybe I will make a short on it soon!

[@rhetoricbytolyan1987]

@@OWMCreativeTabletop Cool. I cannot wait to see the result.

Awesome! I like your feline assistant.

Very kool.

You didn't clean out the cans... 🤮

Trash is treasure…. More trash builds. Not enough of it on the tubes

[@OWMCreativeTabletop]

I have a plan for another one that I haven't quite started yet, but should be coming soon-ish!
