This reminds me of the Deep Roads in Dragon Age. Can easily see this becoming the scene of a Thaig or perhaps an ancient dwarven fortress meant to hold back the Dark Spawn.
Neat, looks like that "instant texture" might work well for vertical ice surfaces too, if you paint it the right way. Maybe something to try later on...
Ooh, if you shell out $30 for a hot wire hand tool, you can cut out ice walls from XPS foam in seconds! Paint it bluish white, cover the top with white glue, white paint, baking soda mixed together, and it looks great in moments.
Excellent! I'm sure people will say that the foam will get in your lungs... Regardless, this really is a quick and excellent way to get stone texture. I use a hack saw (and respirator of course).
I really love the stone textures, but, i think that if i do it in the futur, i avoid the base, for better modularity, or i will make them square and sandless, 🤔
Cool video! Yes, the inner structure of XPS has a "direction" as part of the extruding process - think like fibres - thats why one direction usually works better for any kind of structuring then the other direction. Its often a pain in builds when cutting wrong and then realizing with the wire brush that you only produce flakes but no wood grain :-D
Haven't seen all the videos but I love your channel anyway. Did you tried to craft something with owl's pellets? You know, this stuff they regurgitate full of bones they can't digest. Could be a sick build. It's esay to find them at a cheap price, and it's also findable in your local forest.
In the video you mentioned that the XPS likes to be cut a specific way, but I noticed that on the one you didn’t like you were using the saw improperly. You were pushing the saw forward (muscling) through the cut. I think you have a different result or a least a similar result if you cut the XPS with the same style of cut regardless of the direction you start in (horizontal vs vertical).
Simple challenge for you. I want you to make a grass monster but here's the catch you have to make the grass on it out of flocking and put plants on it also.
There might be smaller thin saws with large teeth like that for easier curved cuts, and perhaps if you get a cheap one you could even bend its teeth more and randomly to maybe get even better results! Also, if you are building higher stone walls maybe would be interesting to try to glue first all the layers then sawing to see if you get an uniform automatic stone texture all the way through! Loved the video!!!
I just made a reversible dungeon/tavern tile. My 1st ever miniature anything. I used popsicle sticks for the tavern side. Any suggestions on how to paint? I was going to use the black mod podge and then dry brush, or should I just use a watered down wash type paint? Thank you.
Paint the sticks black, drybrush with dark brown, light brown, and finish off with a tan drybrush. Try using an orange-brown if you want some more color.
Great stone, and the best tarnished copper I've seen. Applause from the UK (listen very hard). What's the Bad Thing with the claws at the end? If it's an umber hulk, which company made the model?
Some years ago, before having bought a Proxxon, I've tried to cut XPS with a fretsaw... DON'T DO THIS AT HOME! I still find some pieces in the corners;) Do it in some garage or so.
Thank you for the video! The forest around your home is so beautiful down to the tiny little blue flowers and grasses. I live in a desert. I hate it. I hope your move went/is going fairly smoothly? If you are still in the process, I hear Dwarven moving companies are great for the heavy stuff. A word of advise however, don't let them cart your fine silks and delicate terrain pieces. They will destroy them.
I think the number one thing I get from this channel is not to get too stuck in the planning phase. Just start your idea and don't worry about messing up. Foam is cheap and you can always start anew. Also, mistakes are the best way to find new techniques.
Digging it but is not the gravel you used too large for simple ground texture for miniatures? They would be roughly a foot or two in size, or 30.48 cm or 60 cm in size.
Next on Bard’s craft: How I got perfect stone textures with a Morningstar.
This reminds me of the Deep Roads in Dragon Age. Can easily see this becoming the scene of a Thaig or perhaps an ancient dwarven fortress meant to hold back the Dark Spawn.
I reckon, you should do a hobbit themed build -eg- hobbit hole, shire or even market place peices?
Ah, the long-awaited return of the öates has come.

exactly, what I thought! Even though I have to admit, that this technique really works for the dwarven walls in Bard's Craft's style.

Genius!!!!!!!
The saw textures are great, but I kind of think they look more like wood. Maybe you could make an Elvish-themed build with the same concept?
Good idea, I'll try to do wood-ish surfaces with the same method some day
Excellent! I'm sure people will say that the foam will get in your lungs... Regardless, this really is a quick and excellent way to get stone texture. I use a hack saw (and respirator of course).
Can you build a "hive" (Grim) Dark Future 40k CITY Diorama? super modern but as well super dark and ugly? ;)
Rockin.
The commentary on the video is better than the build. That is saying a lot considering the qualityof the build. 😁

Hey Lucas, your videos have been excellent inspiration for my own crafts. Thanks for all you do! Cheers mate!

Give me öates or give me death!!!
Brilliant! I LOVE dwarfs, this week i finish painted a duergar ( dark-dwarf ) and looks fine! Great work bardscraft!
no aluminum foil ball required
Your poor vacuum. But I have a huge panel of this Stuff I wanna use. But I live in fear of the mess

That was very neat, didn't expect to see such a natural texture with a saw cut.
Haven't seen all the videos but I love your channel anyway.

Really nice texture :D It looks more like cave walls (dwarves feel more crafty with smooth stones)
Hope you're doing ok, haven't seen any newvids from you in a while.
Really missing nee vids from you.
New video on Wednesday!
@@BardsCraft woot! I look forward to it👍
I'm digging it. Going to try this texture on my modular walls. Thank you Lucas
Looks nice. A simple build from a Bob Ross happy accident. Much simpler than hiring teenie miners.
Your mastery of the blade is quite impressive Bard-Sensei
Always, always, always use a respirator mask if you cut XPS in a way that produces dust.
Simple challenge for you. I want you to make a grass monster but here's the catch you have to make the grass on it out of flocking and put plants on it also.

Where did you get the Dwarf head?

That stone texture would look really good for an undead ruin or very ancient buildings.
I vote we buy Lukas a proxxon because he is already a master of the art of the blade.
you should get fine sand. all your ground cover looks allways out of scale
edit; nvm adressed in the vod ;P
Приветствую! Смотрю ваши ролики из России. Ничего не понимаю но очень интересно! успехов вам в вашем хобби!
Wow, a nice idea to make a new structure with help of saw. It can be not only walls, it can be tomb, strange shrine, or stone houses.
yo I think Bard might like dwarves or something
-Okay! Let’s put sand on the base
>puts gravel
How do you not have a sponsor from that company? You should get oats for life.
You're gifted man ! I hope you know it !
Crappy paints = Excellent results!!
ÖдТƏs
Love your videos and you abilities, but your ruler has too many numbers on it. Lmao!
Just because you get it from a beach, don't make that shit sand!
The vertical texture looks like some sort of corrupted tree trunk
I used this method for scatter mountain terrain similar to diorama u did with GF and it works fine
Cutting with a hand saw came out well. Good video
Where did you get the Dwarf head? Good work as a fellow dwarf lover
Yay! a new Bard's Craft video!
Hmmm... the one disliker must be an elf
Great video but not sure if this man has the same concept of sand as I do.
Oooh? Undead minis coming?! :D
Fantastic happy accident.

Nice way to make textures 👍
it's amazing idea buddy, i love it, and thanks
wow you live in an amazing spot!!youre backyard is forest..btw love all your videos and humour!!keep up the good work..
Not forest: the wöööds
Dude you work so much with foam.
Build a hot Wire.
It is not hard.
No I already have my knife :)
Muy bueno me gusto 👍
Great stone, and the best tarnished copper I've seen. Applause from the UK (listen very hard).
What's the Bad Thing with the claws at the end? If it's an umber hulk, which company made the model?
Really like this build. Appreciate your technique and really enjoy your videos. If you don't mind I will be building something similar
Does anyone know where you can get this specific XPS foam in the USA? I can only find those pink foam squares. About half the thickness
Some years ago, before having bought a Proxxon, I've tried to cut XPS with a fretsaw... DON'T DO THIS AT HOME! I still find some pieces in the corners;) Do it in some garage or so.
Loves these and also quite jealous a Forest is right out your window. I’d have to go way up the hills to do that.
Hey at least you can find all manners of sand flocking nearby :D
Hell yeah. Too bad I already finished the Part of my Campaign where I included two big dwarven Dungeons. This would have worked perfectly.
Wow thats soooooo AMAZING! YOU HAVE A GREAT TALENT !
And btw the stone textures work really good
Спасибо за видео.

I like to craft
yeah! pretty cool serendipitously discovered texture technique and nice application
*öates gang II: The Return*
Hope all is well .
Отличная работа
Hmm... well done, those textures definitely worked!
Yes! Return of the epic Oats! Awesome video my friend
It looks great, although the stone texture resembles striations you might find in wood, and it could just as easily have been wood!
Great video
Glue and sand pile, haha! Great stuff, the minis definitely worked there! Cheers
I think this works well for stone textures. Looks really good once it all painted.
Digging it but is not the gravel you used too large for simple ground texture for miniatures? They would be roughly a foot or two in size, or 30.48 cm or 60 cm in size.
Yeah the gravel was too large. Perhaps the dwarves have left lots of mining waste as landfill, who knows :D
@@BardsCraft lol yeah, I was going to say poor dwarfs getting rocks that big stuck in their boots
Great find, thanks for sharing! I think the textures look great, and could even be used to make larger, free standing stones.
Amazing!
Perfect 👌
Great eye!
You could also push in nails to bottoms of the walls to make them bottom heavy and skip basing.
Give us one of your Oats recipes !
Put oats in bowl pour on boiling water :D
Thanks.
ART!!!!!
Oats
Glad to see my name on the Edge of Destiny! :D Great video!
Gruau!
I demand that each new terrain piece be dwarfier than the last.
Those stone textures worked so well! It also looks like it could look really good as oak wood bark texture. Perhaps for elven structures?
Indeed, I'll try making wood as well
