This is just the way the old hammer white dwarfs used to show how to make your own terrain pieces from easy acquired materials. Love the throw back ascetic Zambies!
@@Zambieswhere else do you do voice overs? If you did an asmr narration type of thing, I'd listen every bloody night! You're an undead lady of many talents for sure.
Especially after skaventide one of my greatest joys in this hobby has been getting rid of sprues as I finish units; this video has definitely made me rethink that!
Dark, gritty, inventive, little splashes of vibrant colour and stunning as always! Inspiring the snot out of me! It's 1.30 am and i wanna get my airbrush out ffs!
I have small electric drill. In the past when I've messed up a conversion. If I can't fix it I've drilled a fatal wound in it. Then added it to terrain, for a corpse.
Hey, I've not come across your channel before, this video/ your ideas are great. Not thort about using sproos like this before 🤯 thanks for this and keep up the great work. I'll definitely keep an eye in this channel 👍
Good stuff! I hadn't thought of using the thin craft foam and scoring it as I usually use foamcore in a similar fashion. I could save peeling off the paper and just use the thin foam 😃. I'll definitely have to try it out. This is probably my favorite part of the hobby. Building stuff from random assorted bits and bobs is always fun. Thank you for the video!
@@shogunnate7724 thanks for watching! 😄 Try out the foam craft sheets, they might be cheaper and save time over foam core. Making hobby stuff out of random objects is my favorite part too.
Ah I love the level of custom scratch building you’re absolutely nailing here! Like that ladder 👀 I’m working on the new AOS stuff and that would fit perfectly with the terrain on my table!
I was sent here by Bun Bun… great video Zambies! I’ve been wanting to do a spooky terrain board so I got a lot of inspiration from this! Also…. Genius idea using sprues to frame a house. Chefs kiss!
Oh nice! I haven’t played it yet, it’s on my list. Shamefully my sprues are populated. Too busy making terrain right now, but once I need a break. Absolutely brilliant to use those as structures like that.
One mans trash is a hobbyists gold. I have several large boxes full of 'rubbish', it WILL be useful one day. Save money on texture paste, with polyfilla (I think you call its packle in the US) with a bit of PVA and ink, throw in some sand or dirt, static grass etc depending on the look you are after. Gloss varnish in the mix makes a great wet look mud.
It looks beautifully gloomy with the muted colors. Great job getting it all done in a single weekend! I have trouble with finishing my stuff right away lol
Thank you! If I don’t ride the wave of hyperfocus on a project, it is likely to end up on the procrastination pile 😆. So I gave myself a quick timeframe and ran with it.
You could probably use sprues, especially some of the funkier GW ones, as frameworks for trees and tree branches. If you were doing a sci fi setting you could also use long straight pieces as conduit along walls.
I recently used some sprue from Wargames Atlantic that had the company name printed on it. I clipped part of the company name out, stuck it onto a sprue pole, drybrushed the letters to make them stand out, and all of a sudden, a street sign for "Atlantic Avenue!"
Looks dope af.. I'll have to make me some terrain.. I've got a bit from a few GW boxes but none of it is geared for dark fantasy.. so yeah... this is an itch I'll have to scratch because I've been wanting to make something just like this for awhile now.. just haven't done it. Thanks for sharing, it's the perfect motivation!
I feel bad about putting this off outside of your initial 7 day window (for the algorithm) but MAN this totally inspired me, ironically because I also need terrain for #DethWizards
I'll cut sprues and glue them to plastic vegetable containers to use as small buildings in science fiction games. They look great as exterior pipes and ducts.
One time in my hobby life, I had so much sprues, I probably could´ve rebuild my House from them. Luckily I keep only 5% these days around of them. And that includes snippets and sprue gue solution.
Have you checked out Magnagothica Maleghast too? It's another really neat and flexible necromantic-themed skirmish game ruleset that your terrain and minis would suit to a T
