The marmite bottle cracked me up. I grew up with it, but I live in the US now and nobody here really knows what it is. This has rapidly become my favorite youtube channel over the last week. Fantastic work!
Yeah I love the stuff. I even tried the Australian Vegemite once as I assumed it’d be the same - OMG, no! It’s not. It’s how I imagine a cat litter tray in a blender tastes… Glad you’re liking the channel! I’d send you over some Marmite but I’d likely have eaten it before I got around to posting! 🤣
It's great on toast with butter (and possibly some sharp cheese), but it's also good when you stir a spoonful into a pot of beef stew. Really adds a punch of umami flavor.
After looking at probably a hundred different tutorials, I have to say that yours are incredibly educational, counterintuitive and well done. The result is amazing and you show that this is really achievable. There must be a lot of work behind this. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.
the amount of work you've put in for the video alone. i will use this video when i build up the courage. easiest to understand how to paint video i think i have ever watched. you, sir, deserve a whole lot more subscribers. subbed!
Thanks! That’s really appreciated. I try to make my videos the way I wanted to see them when I was a viewer. Always got annoyed when I had more questions than answers! Get the courage! I love seeing terrain done!!
Well, loved this vid, tracked down the rust paint aaand….. it’s 2024 and Dune 2 is out 😢. Have I painted the Necromunda terrain yet? No, no I haven’t… but soon, very soon
I really like that you actually explain the properties of the different paints that you use, which helps me understand why you used them and why I would want to use them for this project. I'm really used to people just recommending their sponsor for everything and just pushing them with no understanding of how they might be good, or why they are bad in many applications.
I know right. I turn down most sponsors because I refuse to recommend something I don’t use or don’t think is great. The things you see that I do recommend, I genuinely like and use regularly. And I always give an honest appraisal of a product that has some uses but is not perfect.
@thestateofplay2023 I'm a little confused. When you say 'dark brown' are you referring to the Hyrax spray or the laser cut brown spray? Do you have any recommended alternatives for laser cut brown? They are impossible to get in Australia. Thanks!
White gold is just a more yellowy silver. You could mix it by adding a tiny bit of yellow into a bright silver. And as it’s a drybrush no need to worry about thinning.
Good work sir, I can honestly say I think this is the best-looking Zone mortalis terrain I've ever seen done. And on top of that you're very detailed on the step-by-step processes that you did making it very simple to follow with great results. Thank you so much for these videos
I thought that's the least I could do considering how much time it must have taken to put together this painting tutorial for the terrain. Well I've subscribed and I'm looking forward to seeing more material from you sir. Have a great day cheers
🤣🤣 Yeah, that one took a while. But I figured people could watch the bits they want - do some painting - then come back and grab the next parts. Effectively what I would have done. 👍🏼
@thestateofplay2023 how many cans of montana did you need to use? Ive just checked the local Australian stores and they are about $30 AUD (15 poundsish) each
I bought 4. Two of each, but it only took 2 because you just spritz in patches. I think Plastikote do rust sprays too. I haven’t tried them but maybe they’re a good price in AU?
Well done on completing such a huge job, the video as always was very informative but what I really love about your videos is the way you present them, none of this happy jolly stuff just very grim dark lol
I gave up on walking dead after season one and the show actually lost me in the opening scene when they made that little girl zombie pick up the cuddly toy and decided to give the zombies memory 😅 I was like have they ruined it in the opening shot?! Yes yes they have! Idiots! I’m no fool I’ve got no time to watch lowest common trash made by people that think the audience won’t notice they being plAyed
Great video, and channel. I'm really enjoying pretty much everything you are putting out. I am preparing to paint my terrain, but as i've never done alot of it before, could you recommend a drybrush to use (for the white gold / black brown parts)? I imagine any brush I use for this much terrain is going to get pretty battered.
Thanks. For drybrushing that much terrain. A cheap makeup brush set from Amazon. It’ll come with a bunch of sizes and doesn’t matter if they get battered. 👍🏼

🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh man, I’m so sorry. I know how that feels. Still if you ever bought another box there’s no reason not to have a rusty section of your terrain that’s older. Could make a cool narrative game. Maybe even paint some of it half and half so they blend together.
@@thestateofplay2023 I'll let you off this time fella. I have some mechanicus terrain that I still need to do. I'll use some of these techniques on it.

Currently printing off a load of bulkheads and bits and this vids has given me many ideas - cheers and keep up the good work - have you though about a Patreon?
Cool!! I have thought about a Patreon but wasn’t sure if it was the right time. With prices of everything up everywhere I didn’t know if I’d be launching into a difficult market. Thoughts?
@@thestateofplay2023 Cool, thanks. I’m color blind, so when I find a scheme I like it is better to stick to the recipe. I might do something that looks unnatural to others if I start improvising.
@@thestateofplay2023 Tell me a little bit about what the tops on the columns and walls are supposed to be. Are they and the platforms with the ossified earth prime coat supposed to be a galvanized metal? I was thinking that I might want to repaint them grey to match cement of the interior wall, but I want to make sure I understand what your recipe is trying to do before deviating from it.
It was basically an oxidised metal that tends to have blues, oranges and creams in it. As Necromunda is 10s of thousands of years old making it concrete would have meant adding my loads of cracks where people walk. But In my case it was a simple case of making them match the battlemat I use.
@@thestateofplay2023 Got it. Thanks! I'm not planning on deviating with the floors and platforms. But I am thinking that cement colored wall and column toppers will tie the look of metal cladding on concrete walls together even more. (And, while gangers may climb on top of walls and columns that aren't topped by platforms, I don't think there would be regular foot traffic there).
Wish I'd had this when I started painting the MDF ZM terrain (Deadbolt's Derelict), I'm still stuck in the stippling and sponging, it's so soul sucking I just kept putting it off and away (sometimes months at a time). But when I get around the the plastic GW ZM terrain I'll be referring back to this. Thank you for another inspirational, in depth and easy to follow video. This will come in really handy down the line. Take care bud 😉
@@thestateofplay2023 Yeah it’s been a bit of a bugbear, especially because I still haven’t had a single game of Necromunda since the rerelease. I want to have something to play on before I work on gangs.
Looks amazing, I wish I wasn't half way through my stuff already! Still I'll take some of your advice from your other videos when assembling what I have remaining!
Your channel and Necromunda focused videos are very informative and entertaining. Thank you, sir. One question about this approach: It’s not difficult to glue the separate plastic parts together if they’re both primed and painted?
Hey thanks! I tend to focus on keeping things modular and only glue together the bits in sections. I wouldn’t recommend painting before gluing on any model because often the added paint makes the fine joins not fit 100% perfectly together. On terrain you’d get small gaps. And on miniatures, sometimes they don’t fit together at all. I tried this once years ago as I thought it would be quicker to paint first, glue second. But when I tried to glue the model together none of the parts fit well and glued paint to paint, not plastic to plastic.
Super quick this way. You should have the entire stronghold done in about 4-5 hours! Spray, spritz, drybrush two colours, a few rust details and your done! Then there’s time to add any bits you want to add.
@@fistfulofcolours I have a video about the scratch built walls but doesn’t include painting. That you can find on Eric’s Hobby Workshop TH-cam channel which is where I got them from!

🤣🤣🤣 see how long it took for Dune 2 to come out! Takes longer to paint terrain! 🤣🤣
Dude, your videos are amazing
Thanks
I'm loving this series! Would you recommend glueing the platforms into the various modular shapes before starting to prime/paint them?
Yes because there’s less surface area to paint. Saves on paint! 🤣👍🏼
I really like that you actually explain the properties of the different paints that you use, which helps me understand why you used them and why I would want to use them for this project.

Wtf i just painted the first time with Vallejo Metal color steel Oo The difference to the gw pendant is crazy. I will never buy GW metal again!
Haha! Welcome to the Vallejo metal colour fan club! You’ll never leave. Now try paint some yellow contrast type paint over a silver. For gold.
@thestateofplay2023 I'm a little confused. When you say 'dark brown' are you referring to the Hyrax spray or the laser cut brown spray? Do you have any recommended alternatives for laser cut brown? They are impossible to get in Australia. Thanks!
I noticed that from the TTcombat website, laser cut brown is quite dark, but in the video it comes out lighter than Hyrax brown? Thanks!
Any darkish brown will work as it gets mostly covered by the rusts.
Any tips for white gold alternatives? Struggling to match by eye alone
White gold is just a more yellowy silver. You could mix it by adding a tiny bit of yellow into a bright silver. And as it’s a drybrush no need to worry about thinning.
Very helpful! Is there a page where we can see your whole table of Zone Mortalis? :)
Literally just uploaded a few to Instagram yesterday. it’s a 4x4 using about half the stuff I made. 😀
