Your initial project was amazing because it was done with tools anyone could have, craft knives and such, foam. I ask in future projects you do Both with your best tools, and with your older tools, like sponges and craft knives instead of hot cutters. making your project approachable is part of what makes it special, but also its hard to see how much is experience & skill and how much the improvement is skill. also it might be cool to have a stopwatch, and time yourself, so people can have a clue about how much time they will need if they want to approach this too. I made foam dungeon tiles myself, as well as 3d Printed, and cardboard and the crafted tiles are much quicker than the 3d printer... and maybe many people would be more interested when they realise a project like this can be done in under an hour for maybe 18 tiles.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial I mean after all these years, or would you say, as hinted at in the video. Its not broke, so nothing to fix, and you wouldn't change a thing?
On mobile when you look at the comments, the last part of this message fall off, so it's another click to expand the comment before people can click the link. Figured it might be nice to know since people are lazy ^_^
I actually really like seeing you revist a project. Too often, the information regarding craft on TH-cam either focuses on total newbs or hobby-professionals without accounting for the most important parts of the hobby, which are growth and enjoyment (imo). Your last few videos have really focused on the growth aspect of the hobby, which is a joy to see. How about revisiting more hobby staples like trees or fallen log debris (scatter). The little armor stack in this video you had at the end was rad!
LMAO I can't believe we both published our "back to basics dungeon tiles" video within 24 hours of each other, must be something in the air up here in Canada! For real though, love your results! Embedding those extra bits plus the way you painted them really looks sharp!
Wow. I remember that video, you have came a lot way since then. Thank for that video and every one you had after that. I don't craft, play any D&D or anything like that. I just love watching you build stuff from nothing and it's amazing. Thanks again for the 3x3 videos you did for everyone.
Made the original tiles for my oldest grandson... had a ball. Then saw your Underdark terrain, so made some for one of my grand-daughters. You are a total inspiration. Love your videos. Keeps my mind active and my hands and imagination on the go. Thank you.
It's been several years, but your original dungeon tiles videos were what got me into terrain building. PERIOD. Thanks for that, and for the fun revisit!
Love the revisit! I for one would love to see you do another kind of cool doorway/archway. Every time you make one it's amazing. I feel like you can never have too much variety, your metal door from way back was sooo good.
I LOVE that you are doing these re-visit videos. We all learn new stuff and think "I would do 'X' differently" and now you can show us the wisdom of that learning. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more.
These exact tiles are what got me inspired to create my D&D terrain pieces!!! I ended up giving them away to a friend who is much more invested in his campaign, but that also gives me the excuse to make them again... and just in time for the new tutorial!
I love how they turned out, and I love it when hobby channels return to old concepts and revisit them either with a new angle or with newfound perspective. It's a great way to show people what could be improved upon with the initial concept, or what new techniques/approaches to crafting you have learned since then. I hope you do more of these!
8:00 - I highly recommend all of the liquitex improperly-cooked brown inks for stone builds. Raw Umber, Raw Sienna, and Burnt Sienna are fantastic in tandem for adding variety to stonework.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial I rewatch your build videos every time I get stuck on my projects and I always find some technique I missed the last time. I'd like to see you revisit your chapel build soon, that remains my favorite.
I saw your original video and decided to crete some for my homebrew. I was super nervous because it was the first time the game was going to be played but to have the tiles to convey the atmosphere of the game helped me a lot that night. Excellent content, compadre!
I'd love to see you do a 3 tier or more boat build where u can break it down and play on each level and have rooms, walls, and scatter terrain. Make removable sails so they don't get in the way when u play on the top level.
I attach self-adhesive vinyl floor tile (sticky-side up) cut to size on the bottom of my tiles. It gives them heft and the vinyl, designed to prevent slips, prevents the tiles from sliding around my tabletop.
I feel so old watching this! we use to use - way back in the good old days - pieces of "cardboard" for our playing area. Basically it was the board you find in the cover of a 3 ring binder (my dad worked for a book bindery at the time). We had various pieces cut and marked out and each square was equivalent to 1'x1'. Our models were all the cast metal. All were hand painted (and it was very obvious they had been). oh the good old days.... What you do is - ummmm - amazing! incredible! fantastic! Everytime I watch one of your videos, I'm tempted to break out the old Monster Manual and DM guide!
Around 4:05, it might help to put a quick mark on the bottom side of the foam (that glues to the mdf) so you don't accidentally put the tough side down.
This was the first thing I made except I did double sided with wood planks on the other side. Thanks to you I enjoyed 2020 way more than I should have by foam crafting.
Good video. Probably the most usefull craft you can make as a DM. I use fairly similar tiles. I've a bunch of different sizes. from 3x3 to 6x6 for larger rooms. I've build in a different way. Different foam (a thin foam sheet thats way more elastic for strenght), with the tile pattern 'molten in' instead of seperate bricks. The elastic foam allows the tiles to be way thinner! I'm a traveling DM, and have to bring all my dungeon-stuff with me. And a thin tile allows me to carry twice as much. Secondly, the opposite side got covered in a 'plank' pattern. made from wooden coffee stirrers. This allows me to use them 'upside down' as a different interior of a building. Best craft i made!
I loved it. Honestly, I find that, lately, the content does not fit the reason why I suscribed (a long time ago) to this channel, but seeing videos like this is awesome.
Thanks for the vid! ran my first d&d session with magnetic dungeon tiles inspired by you and other folks literally yesterday. I HEAVILY used several balls of tinfoil to texture MUCH more than any youtuber i've seen, mostly because i didn't know what i was doing. like really made sure there wasnt a smooth surface at all, just dents. then i coated them black, followed by dark grey. then i drybrushed heavily in a slightly lighter grey, followed by a super light drybrush of almost white grey on just some spots of each tile, mostly in lines creating light lines. all drybrushing was done one-directional. the result? it looks like marble. i've seen a bunch of "painting marble" tutorials but believe me, my tiles look more like marble than any of those. my group was ecstatic when they saw!
I wish you would give us a list of your Top Ten Favourite Old Projects ( '& Why You Want To Revisit... Maybe?' ). You could even do that as a throwaway video. Take clips of you and edit them in and add yourself doing clips in the midst between each - explain each of the ten projects briefly, brief chunk of Old Vid, brief sum-up what you might revisit. Boom. Video, mostly for your fan base. Loved this vid, couldn't stop watching. Yes, the new tiles have the essence but are FAR better. That's fantastic. Learned lots, it was fun. Keep up this great work.
You were the first crafting youtuber I came across when I first got into dnd, you're the only youtuber I've seen every upload, great work man keep it up, it's been awesome seeing my own skills and yours develop over the years
if you have existing tiles that you want to weight down, self adhesive, flat floor tiling cut to match your tile size (or slightly undersized) stuck to the bottom works great. makes the tile a little taller, though. if your tiles are double sided, cut them in half and stick tile to each.
I've recently discovered magnet tape which has been a game changer for me. It comes in a roll like scotch tape. I slap it onto the bottom of everything I make now and I can use it on a whiteboard. It's great!
Really enjoyed watching this version of the tiles getting made. It’s like the delux 2.0, without being overly complicated. Would love to see some projects continuing to build upon these, like dungeon scatter terrain, doorways, stairs, special “objective marker” tiles etc
Always enjoy your videos! Please do some small buildings again, would love to see the abandoned barn revisited, it was my favourite video of a building from your catalogue!
Dude! Love seeing the original Dungeon Master guides in your background. A flood of fond memories hit me while watching your tutorial. Thanks for casting a "Memory-Recall Spell" on me!
Great video! Long time viewer, first time caller here! When I made my dungeons tiles following your original video a few months ago, I went to Home Depot and got a bunch of stone tile samples. They come in a great size for dungeons tiles and are heavy with a layer of rubber on them that prevents them from moving! Thanks for all you do especially for a novice DM and hobby crafter like me!🤘🏼
Oddly enough I was looking at your old tile video literally yesterday for a project I'm planning. Great to see how far you've come, but also how accessible and informative your old stuff still is. I've learned so much from you over the years. I'll be using this new tile technique to make a cathedral carry case for my Sisters of Battle, you've already inspired my build!
I love that your going back to update your old videos. So many good lessons and a wealth of experience to leverage to make them better! Next do how to pour water resin ;)
Awesome to see you going back to the old school videos, two videos I fondly remember (and still want to attempt myself) was your skull and blood fountain alter, and your diy gaming table if you ever feel like making a new table one day :)
Sheet magnet on the bottom. I recycle 'refrigerator' magnets. Once my co-workers learned I recycled them, they started bringing me tons of them. Free magnet sheet! Garages and Sports teams often do annual calendars which are large enough to do a whole tile.
So I started watching ur videos a 3 or 4 years ago. I've enjoyed watching ur channel as well as ur creative talent grow each and every video. This video was a great throwback and an outstanding result. I would love to see u go back and create some buildings again. The primitive huts, midevil houses & churches, etc.. were some of my favorite builds back then.
Hey man, thought you'd have a better chance of seeing this comment as it's a super recent posting. Thanks for doing what you do man, it's a very interesting Hobby and it's actually quite simple(though I hate cutting things square...) Hobbies and quality time with friends help with a lot in life and you've made a very cool guide as to how to start and progress with this hobby. I'm only just starting and I'm kinda crap but as you rightfully say, don't get upset or surprised when you do something for the first time and such at it. As a final note, I don't watch all of your videos and only follow you for the specific skills I need but I appreciate the depth of knowledge and effort gathering information.
I watched a really awesome video on another channel recently where a guy was using children's magnetic tiles for terrain after doing some quick painting with a rattle can and gluing bits of sprue on them. I had to check ebay on the prices and it was pretty common to find 300 piece sets for like $40 or $50 if not better deals on buying lots of used ones. I had no idea these were even a thing since I don't have kids, but for very very minor work a person can get enough terrain pieces to make a battle board and plenty of pieces to make structures or even hallways if you want to go by the latest boarding scenarios that GW is doing now, and since it's already magnetic storage, set-up, and traveling with them seem like it couldn't get any easier for the fraction of the price of normal terrain or the time put into building a bunch of dungeon tiles.
So my 7 year old twins are wanting to get into war hammer and also D&D. Idont think they know what they want to do so I'm letting them have a taste of both. This was a brilliant video for one of them who loves making stuff and painting . This feels very achievable. Thank you..
From the very beginning I based all my pieces on a 1-1/4" grid. Visually I liked the extra space. But the main reason was that it was a true architectural scale. Both for drawing and modeling. Also it's equates a model railroad "O scale". So there was another resource to purchase items MADE for that scale.
I make mdf hills for historical and fantasy games. The hills all get felt on the bottom. They slip less and look good. I think the felt would be good on your tiles.
i would like to see you do a dice tower now, it has been interesting to see how your skills are developing. Like to see you using basictools and stuff readily available world wide
Man, that shelf of old school AD&D hardbacks has me NOSTALGIC... I started with the box sets (they came with crayons to color in the dice numbers with!) but most of my early days of play are all wrapped up in that one shelf.
This is GREAT!! I was JUST about to make my own set of Dungeon Tiles for the first time (I'm a beginner here), and this technique will REALLY help me! I'd also really love to see you make some Doorways and Pillars now with modern techniques. Thanks so much for all the great content, BMC!!!
I just started and I made my tiles with your original versions. They work like a charm, looking forward to making more in the future with your videos. Thanks!
this almost exactly the way that I did my 1st dungeon-tile-set. MDF-Plates are awesome and with some foam on top this feels realy good. On the Backside I would suggest making some wooden boards look... maybe with a small driller into the MDF-Plate

I haven't done work with foam in a few years since getting a 3d printer but this vid has me thinking it's time to go back to basics again!
Great video! Love the re visit!! Simple but elegant upgrade from original!
And now I need to update my tiles. A sincere and real THANK YOU for making this hobby so much better! Much love!
It's great that your new and improved tiles are still pretty easy to make. They look so much cooler whilst still being essentially the same.
Like the simple and concise description and explanation. Just subscribed.

I like the idea of the larger tiles. It allows you to place walls on the edges if you really wanted to, they would just need to be thin.
I got hooked when you did the boat build. Would be fun seeing that in your new skill set. Awesome tiles!

So my 7 year old twins are wanting to get into war hammer and also D&D. Idont think they know what they want to do so I'm letting them have a taste of both. This was a brilliant video for one of them who loves making stuff and painting . This feels very achievable. Thank you..
Great stuff. A bit of an upgrade without being some unattainable standard for the beginner. This is why we love you. Cheers!
From the very beginning I based all my pieces on a 1-1/4" grid. Visually I liked the extra space. But the main reason was that it was a true architectural scale. Both for drawing and modeling. Also it's equates a model railroad "O scale". So there was another resource to purchase items MADE for that scale.
I am getting back into D&D while simultaneously starting miniatures...thank you for this! I am inspired. The tiles look amazing.
Amazing man! Been watching since then AND the “Viking” longboat build. Keep it up my Canadian brother!! 💪💪
I make mdf hills for historical and fantasy games. The hills all get felt on the bottom. They slip less and look good. I think the felt would be good on your tiles.
i would like to see you do a dice tower now, it has been interesting to see how your skills are developing. Like to see you using basictools and stuff readily available world wide
Man, that shelf of old school AD&D hardbacks has me NOSTALGIC... I started with the box sets (they came with crayons to color in the dice numbers with!) but most of my early days of play are all wrapped up in that one shelf.
This is GREAT!! I was JUST about to make my own set of Dungeon Tiles for the first time (I'm a beginner here), and this technique will REALLY help me! I'd also really love to see you make some Doorways and Pillars now with modern techniques. Thanks so much for all the great content, BMC!!!
I just started and I made my tiles with your original versions. They work like a charm, looking forward to making more in the future with your videos. Thanks!
this almost exactly the way that I did my 1st dungeon-tile-set. MDF-Plates are awesome and with some foam on top this feels realy good. On the Backside I would suggest making some wooden boards look... maybe with a small driller into the MDF-Plate
