Love all of these techniques mate! Been wanting to make a couple of quick rough and ready form ruin type bits for ages and I bet this would totally make them come to life! Thanks dude! Super useful. 😁
That’s lovely that you have called it cinematography. I put loads of effort into the filming and editing of this to improve the production. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy what is to come.
Finally got chance to sit down and watching this properly! Great video bud, I do really like the Games Workshop Terrain kits but that sterile look does really break the immersion. Definitely going to give this a try!
I've started making rubble out of plaster sheets. Simply pour casting plaster on to a flat tray to a depth between 1-3mm and let it set solid overnight. Snap the sheet into smaller pieces and chuck into a sandwich bag and bash the shit out of it. It'll give lovely flat slabs as well as rubble and dust. Alternatively, smashing natural slate repeatedly with a hammer gives lovely slabs and dust that looks a lot like shattered masonry when it's painted
This was just incredibly inspiring, thank you! As for making battlespice from scratch, I wonder if cutting little rubber bands (the kind kids use to make bracelets) in small pieces and heating them in the owen to make them brittle (like aged rubber bands) would bring the coloured elements to add to cut sprues and bits; maybe also cutting and smashing lego pieces...
@@TheImmersiveWorldCrafter i tried the rubber band thing, the oven does not work, it melts it after hardening it, and I don't think it is easy to fix the precise time/temperature conditions to leave them hardened and brittle without much experiencing which would be too costly; I left them instead in the fridge at -24 C for weeks, we'll see...
Gert, dude, I cannot be taken shopping anymore because I spend too long looking at textures of stuff I could use in terrain. I bring rubbish home, I don’t throw away any rubbish, and riffle through the recycling bin for more textures and bits! My name is Kevin, and I am a hoarder.
This is disgusting and I love it. Makes me think I need to build yet another urban tabletop! The under-tile suggestion is a good one; I'm thinking of the trash compactor scene from Star Wars... You could add some bullet casings to your 'spice; mix if you wanted to imply a higher intensity of firefight in some of the corners of the battlefield, and are cheap and easy to mass produce using pasta (I've got a short video on my channel covering this). Keen for your next project mate
Awesome video bud and really nice effects. I've been saving off-cuts and table crap in tubs for this very reason. One day I'll actually get around to building terrain again :D
How do you paint the rubbish piles? Is it not really time consuming? I noticed the #battlespice has coloured bits in it, are they just different coloured plastic parts or pre-painted?
It was actually very fast. I primed it grey and then thickly coated in black contrast paint all over. I then chose yellow, green, red, and brown contrast paints and painted into sporadic areas whilst the black was wet and let all the colours merge and mottle. This gives you a great base to start from. I picked out some pieces with vibrant and primary colours using enamels. Once dry, I gloss varnished the lot and then applied an oil wash over the colours only. A few hours later I removed some of the oil wash with thinners and modelling cue tips to reveal the colours from beneath the grime. Very fast to get done.
@@TheImmersiveWorldCrafter ok. I could see that could work. I will give it a try. Thanks for putting the plastic bag thing on this too. I had seen it elsewhere, maybe FB, but I couldn't find or remember what size to do.
As the battlespice is proprietary content designed by another creator who details this within his Patreon I can’t disclose what it is made from. I have provided details to his account. You can get creative though and make something similar with odd bits of collected plastics.
What do you think of the 4 distinct groupings of piles I described in this?
Some really lovely techniques in here! Nicely done. Those clear bags are so cool
Thanks mate
Top tips! Only wish I hadn’t thrown so much dust and offcuts away!!!
Start today, buddy. It will begin to amass quickly.

You’re very welcome. I will be looking out for those in the CWG discord and Facebook group
Haha! Dammit now I actually have to do them 😮
@Joshua Bressel yeah man, it’s great fun to make them and they look the business
It's really nice seeing more & more people proning zero waste in crafting! Amazing video man!
Thank you very much.
Absolutely love the cinematography of the channel. 👍

Yes, I use both of these methods if I want to mimic concrete rubble or shattered masonry/scale slate pathways
Wow I really enjoyed watching this tutorial! Thanks so much!!!
You're very welcome mate. Please stick around as there will be plenty more to come.
This was just incredibly inspiring, thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing :D It looks really good!
Awesome! love your work!
Goddamnid !!
Now i have too save even more garbage.
Oh well....
Great job !

The trash bag tip is pretty cool, most definitely going to do it in the future
Hey man just came across your channel, I really like what you’re doing here, keep it up. I hope you find great success
Hey, it’s great to have you join the channel. That’s some lovely feedback, thank you so much 😊
Good content. Thank you.
That's really cool!

Great video mate.
Following along now, Ditritus it is. 😁
It’s great to have you along for the ride. I am pleased to hear you enjoyed it, mate.
@@TheImmersiveWorldCrafter was recommended by a mate and am glad he did.
Will be checking out your other profiles on other platforms too.
Going to try this on my next build!
Awesome, have fun and I hope you enjoy the making
nailed it! cheers

Cheers man, it has been fun making. Keep on collecting those bits, you’ll get a chance to use them on projects soon.

Any tips for making the battlespice or rather some suggestions for contents?

Ewan Mcgregor looking a little beardier and grayer these days. Cool to know he's into the hobby though.
Bwahahaha. Ewan McGregor! Ya smoove talker, ya.
I need to up my glue game. Never heard of low setting super glue...
Hey Neil 👋 yes buddy, look for high viscosity such as Everbuild Super Glue HV that has up to 60 secs of adjustment time before setting
Mate, this looks absolutely rubbish, pure trash... Great job!!!
Pure trash bag. Cheers fella.
