Let's Make a Customised Deepcut Studio Battlemat (Nurgle Swamp Terrain)

Whilst our Valhiem inspired Nurgle 40k swamp set comes together, we needed a custom coloured battlemat to lay it out on, and so, join me as I take you through how how I turned a Deepcut Studio greenfield mat into a death world swamp one!

The more Mel we got, THE BETTER. And in an excellent timing, I was actually looking for a mat just like that!

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Double win!

[@Ian-242]

Great to see you back doing what we all love Mell !
Building terrain, keep them coming

[@TheTerrainTutor]

More to come!

[@zvxczcz9168]

Just wanted to thank you for your quite excellent book Terrain Essentials, first class 🙏 Cheers!

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@regwirth3004]

Wouldn't it be simpler to repaint the base to match the mat? Love your work, you've given me some great ideas.

[@TheTerrainTutor]

You could certainly buy a swamp mat and customise the terrain to go with it but in this situation, the terrain came first mate

[@shinigamiauthor]

i just purchased and recieved your terrain book. what an absolute treasure it has been going through it

[@efzmonkey]

Never thought about painting a mat. great idea.

[@tempusavatar]

Thank you so much for this video. I've been sitting on some mat projects over the winter; last autumn I was making some canvas and caulking mats, but a freak rain shower caused some of the caulking to delaminate while it was curing outside. Soon I'll be able to go back outside and make the necessary repairs and I'll need to reblend the colors in the damaged areas.

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Glad it helped mate

[@Oldschool-RPG]

Well, I never even thought of painting a Mousepad Mat.
Cheers Mel!

[@christianstraubhaar339]

I wouldn't have necessarily thought about the irregularity, but it definitely helped!

[@worldwarmini3919]

Crack on Mel, nice to see you making videos mate! 🍻 from 🇨🇦

[@heartrate0]

I've been a fan for like 8 forevers and I'm stoked to see a new video

[@aaronbono4688]

Glad to have you back, among my favorite videos.

[@TheTerrainTutor]

More to come!

[@clayjee]

Such a great and simple idea. And it kills the shine as well! 😅👍🏻

[@TheTerrainTutor]

The matting effect is a big plus

[@wowkalfas1977]

So glad to see a new video from you Mel

[@caseyrogers7538]

Never would have thought of this. The idea makes me nervous but the end result is fantastic! Would it work to lighten up a mat or would it blow out the details?

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Best to think of it as applying a filter, the stronger the filter, the more details get knockout out mate

[@timhyland6834]

Awesomr. Never Would have thought of that.

[@Jeanninemarie69]

I'm so glad you're doing well

[@WildfireMagni]

Didn't think the brown would help that much, but it did.

[@DJPeteypie]

Great vid Mel

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Thanks 😁

[@Sqalman]

Lovelly nice video! such easy work to customize a mat! :)

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@thedrunkmagicukuleleplayer9723]

Hi, I am really new to modelling. I've done a couple of plastic kits and looking forward to build on what I can do. I am so pleased I found you. I am going to have to work through all your videos but thank you and please don't stop what you are doing.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool as always. 👍

[@TheObscurePerception]

Have you done a Army Display terrain board before? Something that you csn pop on the shelf to display your minis in a sort of action scene?

[@TryChillBalloo]

Hi Mell, do you think this will work also for fleece mats from geek villian or cigar box mats?

[@TheTerrainTutor]

You want fabric dyes for them mate

[@lanxreedalenlum3706]

yay more videos

[@Wardads1]

I cut the lumpy root thingies off some old past it potatoes painted them some lurid colours and they are perfect for creating a nasty looking bit of jungle fit for a son of Catachan to romp in or as a sickly ,putrid looking addition to Papa Nurgles garden .

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Thats proper rotten terrain mate lol

[@javierpm1184]

The Jurassic park Diorama? ❤

[@CJKilbride]

GET THIS MAN SOME PALM TREES

[@Nethrakh]

[@rustedbeetle]

Glad to see the three stooges on the table again.

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Good name!

[@horatio_]

Does one have to varnish it after ? 😂

[@matthieukiriyama7219]

Good job ruining your 100$ battle mat! ;)

[@TheTerrainTutor]

How much do you pay for battlemats? this was $40

[@matthieukiriyama7219]

@@TheTerrainTutor Good for you!

[@mactheman8797]
