- Todays video we are looking at some 90’s terrain. This is the first book of a two book series GW did back in the 90’s, designed to show the public how they made some of their most iconic terrain pieces.

They stopped making those books so you'd be "encouraged" to buy their expensive terrain models. That's why I love Terrain Tutor, Wylock, and others like them keeping this part of the hobby alive.
Yeah man totally agree they are really great channels.
May I be cheeky and put my little channel forward for that too? Nowhere near as good as the two you mentioned but my builds are all about the same thing. Making everything yourself and having fun.
@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming I have just subbed
That books is something that GW would never make in this day and age. Seeing Nigel stillman as the name attached the book doesn't come as surprise, that guy was one of the best members of the design team GW ever had. His gaming ethos was spot on.
Now I have to resist the temptation to track down a copy on ebay.
Looking forward to seeing what else you make with ideas from the book. The house looks great.
Yeah this book is truly a thing of the past. No way will they ever do anything like this now. You can still get a copy for not too much on ebay at the mo. Look out for my next vid as its on another piece of terrain 😀
Loved this video. I have this and the later book and still refer to them to this day. Its great to see them do what they set out to do: Get people making terrain. Hopefully you will make more!
Thank you. Yeah for sure I will be making more from this book absolutely love it. I will have to get the second one as well. 😀
This will sound a bit trite, but man, looking through these pages reminded me of the good old days when GW was about "Look at all the cool stuff you can make!", instead of "Look at all the cool stuff you can buy from us!"
Mate not trite at all! I feel exactly the same. Going through this book is like being 11 again 😀
Basically this book is the foundational text for terrain building in the modern tabletop wargaming hobby. The techniques and even the projects themselves are still used today, spread out over thousands of TH-cam channels and blogs.
Yep I totally agree. This book is timeless
I think I listened to an older podcast where the feeling of accomplishment has left the hobby in many ways due to pre fab terrain products. Since getting back into 90's gaming I can attest to say that there is no better feeling of making or at least having a go at making terrain and learning from it and then producing something you can enjoy seeing and playing with on the table. Great to see you coving this book Jonny and nice terrain made also :)
This is very interesting. Add the new technology of today like 3D printing and we are slowly slipping away from what made the hobby great. We are falling into a world of I want it now. Don’t get me wrong new technology has its place but the innocent years of making it yourself or giving it a go seem somewhat behind us. This book is a great example of what the hobby used to be.
@@paulyg405 Yeah its all about having fun and trying new things and getting creative. Again that's why this series of books were so good.
Came here for the old school space cactus. Wasn't disappointed XD
Haha yes it you want old school you have come to the right place lol 😂 going to be doing the old battle bunker for my next terrain vid 👌
Nice, always loved the earlier 40k terrain asthetics.
Yeah me too it’s a big shame they have moved away from it. But I guess it wasn’t grim dark
I've got this book! Made sure I got it when it came out, a great jumping off point for much of what I've done since, I'd been making military scale dioramas before but this added more depth and many other ideas
From memory the crashed escape pod and the highway??! Were exemplary pieces shown in the book. I'm not doing well at getting my kids into making stuff, just have to keep plugging on I guess, thanks for the vid!
Ahh not a problem at all. My girl is 3 and loves drawing and stuff so it wasn’t a hard sell 😂 it was fun if a little frustrating 😂 deffo give it a go it’s nice to combine your kids with your hobby 😀
God I had that book. Flashbacks.
Hahaha the good old days!
It is a great book, I have a copy of it too. I want to get The Terrain Tutor's book, Terrain Essentials.
Yeah it’s actually really good for it’s age. Yeah I be his book is great
Looks great Jonny. Nice to see you add retro terrain to your retro armies
Hahaha yeah it wouldnt be a proper retro army without the terrain lol
Anyone who doesn't want to do the cactus can use the little fluffy ball things that get sold in arts and crafts stores for weird alien bushes. And with easter coming there's going to be styrofoam eggs everywhere for assorted alien weirdness.
Or, I dunno, a big egg. Maybe a local chicken cult.
Hahah 😂
I love 90s terrain. Or trying to get to the standard seen in this book and White Dwarf!
Yeah me too! The old terrain back then was soo good
I have no memory of owning that book, but i definitely made rubbish versions of some of those things you showed. Love the little house you made with your girl
It was really fun having some father daughter time making it with her. I think I’ll pick something else out of the book to do with her as well.
If you can get hold of White Dwarf#131 November 1990, that has an in-depth article by Dave Andrews and Phil Lewis on building a town house for WHFB. An absolute god send at the time.
Yes I’ve recently found this one. It’s built slightly differently to the one in this book. So gonna give it a go. 👍
Looks like a great book Jonny. Look forward to seeing more of your home-made terrain. 🙂
Yeah defo more to come 😀
From now , these houses and cactus look amazing ! Cracking job . Bravo
Ahh cheers mate.
Would love a series of you making Terrain through the book
Yes this is something I have started to do. Please check our my latest vid on the channel 😀
Great book that. I’ve got it and the other one as well. Both brilliant. We weren’t allowed to make the cactus when I worked at GW. It was too spiky and considered a hazard to kids lol. I must get round to making terrain again. Used to really enjoy that part of the hobby
Hahaha really that’s soo funny! Poor cactus lol. Yeah building terrain is something I’m not very good at but it has been fun trying some different things 😀
@@JonnyWatsonGaming you’ve done a great job mate. I can see more houses on the horizon. Great stuff
@@leont66wargaming31 haha maybe!
Are there any major differences in the two editions? I have the second one is it worth getting the first?
Started making terrain with my dad for his HO scale train setups and. Ow that I have extra money to spend I’m painting minis. My terrain is still leagues ahead of my mini paintings but I’m getting better with each figure
Yeah man it’s all about practice. Keep going and you will see drastic improvements 👌
That books looks very useful 👌
Honestly it really is 😀
I've always wanted to know, do you paint the cacti spikes first or last?
I painted them last but I’m sure it would work either way 😀
Huh when I saw it had 1990 views
It seems as though scratch building terrain is a bit of a dying art these days, it's a real shame. I used to love making buildings from bits of cardboard. I guess these days I tend to buy MDF stuff but I use that as a skeleton onto which I build additional details, it's kind of a half way house - it's not quite scratch built but without some scratch building techniques, the buildings would otherwise look crap.
Yeah I totally agree it’s very easy nowadays to buy pre-made stuff, and with 3D printers getting more and more popular the fun and art of making your own is some what slipping away. However as I discovered it’s a great way to mix kids and the hobby, so for me it’s something I will do more of. 😀
Don't point with your middle finger, it's gauche.
Did not realise I did that lol 😂
