It must be tough competition with all the crafting channels popping up, but I really appreciate the no frills approach. Just easy to follow tutorials, and top notch terrain. Subscribed.
Thank you, I appreciate that. 😊 It's an interesting thought. There's something to the adage of "a rising tide lifts all boats", because someone who's interested in the hobby doesn't just watch one video or even just one RUclips channel. And you can even watch multiple videos on basically the same build, because of different personalities, approaches, video styles and ways of explaining. But then again, there are a lot(!) of small RUclips channels in this domain, and people don't watch an infinite amount of channels - they chose the ones they like the best. But I think most of them quit early. Most RUclipsrs in generel quit when they find out how much work it is. Making a hobby video is even more work than a talking head video. I certainly underestimated how much time actually goes into editing a video like mine, because the ones I'd watched by other RUclipsrs seemed so effortless. 😄
These are really good looking, would be awesome to see a commandbunker type tile where the top is removable so you can use them for play but also get the look of the full bunker if you want it
Oh, yeah, that'd be cool. 👍 I'll chuck it in the list of ideas. If that's something you'd wanna do, TheTerrainTutor has a guide on how to make bunkers that you could combine with something like that rocky tile I did. 😊
That came out looking fantastic! The end I just pictured a couple of Deathkorps walking in and going "WOWw-" like the reveal at the end of every HGTV show
One of the nicest details I've ever seen was on my mates trench system. Same duck boards; the difference was he cut the legs off a Cadian, watered down same pallet he used for the muddy terrain and made hundreds of boot prints either side of the walk ways to make them look well travelled. A small detail but it looked amazing!
It always impresses me when I see cool pieces like this. I wish I had the room to make buildings and terrain; I actually legitimately once built a fair sized ruin out of cardboard; sprue for rebar, used Pringles tubes and straws for pipes.
@@thecultofcrafting Heres an idea for you to try out. As I did try to do this myself before and never had the paints to do it or the right stuff. You could do a video of the Primaris Eliminators with their camo cloaks; and paint them with mirror paint, then give them a terrain piece they blend into using their mirror painted camo cloak. I tried to paint scout marine camo cloaks to have a mirror appearance so they reflected their surroundings to cloak them; kind of similar to the cloaking mechanics in DoW 2. I would love to see how you pull it off.
Now my custom Perturabo comes in: Get off my way Marine: B-but my lord, There is no space for you. Perturabo: Throws marine out and makes trench larger for him.
This is also ideal for making the hallways of a sprawling spaceship in endless reusable variations! Great video, very inspired to make something myself now
I definitely think the terrain mix really tied this all together the best. I've personally been struggling to find a good look for the sides of my trenches for awhile now and might end up stealing this method.
I am super impressed! My ultimate project is my Iron Warriors army, and I have a long term goal of creating fortification terrain for them. I doubt I can equal the professional job you've done here, but it is definitely something to aspire to, worthy of the effort I've put into the models. Thanks for sharing this!
@@thecultofcrafting I will give it a go, thanks for the inspiration man. Maybe a kill team board with trenches running through it...so many great options hehe 😉👍.
@@thecultofcrafting Boards do take up quite some space unfortunately, I have a storage box out in our garden that has a few stashed. I am planning a big Mordheim type of board at the moment. It is at the drawing board while i am still planning things out. Still have to see on how and where to store it 😁
Beautiful work. It seems such a waste though to use the expensive miniature paints when less costly craft paints would go further on large scenery pieces. Something to consider. One can't argue with the results, though! Nice job!
This is perfect for warhammer especially Astra militarim and you could make a small or large (maybe) are for artillery pieces like the earth shaker cannons

i really like a technique i learned from Luke Towan with wood... dipping it in india ink and water to get it more grayish and weathered and then i usually go over it with oilwash to get it greasy and dirty looking
Ah, that's a good question. 😊 It's because XPS foam isn't universally available, but I think EPS (regular foam) is. In Denmark, where I live, XPS is hard to find and it costs a lot more than EPS, because we don't use it for insulation. So I wanted to show, that you can get good results with basic tools and materials. But I totally agree, XPS is better in every way. 🙂
love your stuff! really like seeing all the different experiments, what doesn't work is just as informative (and sometimes more) as what does. I've been struggling with finding an inexpensive alternative to ground texture materials. would you mind doing a video on the dirt you ended up using in this project? I know there tends to be more steps than "grab dirt, put on terrain". Also if you sift it at all, what did you use? trying to find a garden sieve/sifter with the proper levels has been quite the challenge as well. keep up the great work! 👍
So I grabbed some dirt, spread it out on a cardboard sheet and let it dry in a warm place. Some people bake it to kill any microorganisms, but when I did that with sand some years ago, my oven smelled like seaweed for months after. 😄 Then I crushed any large lumps and sifted the small particles from the large. I have a colander that I bought for that purpose (along with a sieve), but I couldn't find it, so I grabbed a piece of flexible material with holes in it that I had lying around. Don't know what it was, but I'm guessing cheesecloth or tulle would work just as well.
Inconsistently. 😄 I mostly use physical notebooks to make checklists of tasks. I use Notion for pretty much everything else. Managing projects, writing, brainstorming, tracking progress, storing info, etc. I have a setup for task management in Notion too, but for some reason, I tend to forget to use it. A notebook reminds me to check my task list because it's physically there.
Hiya I really liked the video. I saw a tip somewhere where you press a linen cloth on top of the sandbags to create a sandbag texture. Just a tip you might consider. Amazing build
I would love to see some scatter terrain style stuff too! Or how to make dense cover like bushes/forests/trees. Great work on the videos and terrain! I hope you have a chance to grow since the quality is through the roof!
Yup, spikes and skulls! ☠️🤘 I actually planned on adding wooden spikes and barbed wire, but the tiles aren't that big, so I felt it would get in the way of playability. 🙂
From a strictly historical perspective, there wouldn’t be any surviving grass. Photos of trench warfare and fortifications going back to the Crimean War show battlefields denuded of vegetation. What grass is there is quickly blown apart by shellfire or buried in feet of mud. It’s a spectacular display nonetheless. I could see myself making a system for a company of Cadians or Death Korps.
Just found the channel, am loving the content! Its a very in depth explanation of how you made everything while not being over the top! :D Main thing id ask for is a tad prevalence of the little subtitles labelling what you use, and maybe the addition of little notes for the onscreen bits. Although I understand that itd be a lot more editing work, so mainly an idea. In addition, how do these peices hold up with play. I really want to make some for my local group but dont want to have them break down. Oh and also maybe a thing saying how long the process took?
Thanks a lot! 😊 Could you perhaps point me to a couple of places where you felt it needed labels or explanation? I'm a bit blind to it, because I went through the process. 😁 I'd say they're very tough. I don't know if that type of wall filler (for 2-10 cm large holes) is particular hard or it's all the glue I added, but it seems very hard. The most fragile thing is probably the stacks of sandbag that might come off if they're hit by a hand trying to get to a model. But that will probably just mean gluing them back in places. In my experience the bags won't break, it's just the bond between them that can be a bit on the weak side. It's very hard to estimate the time spent, because recording makes the process much longer. Also drying times are a big factor. It's a wild guess, but 10 hours total work time spread out over 5-7 days seems realistic. Might be more, because the sandbags took a lot of time to make. The rest of the individual steps actually didn't take that long.
That turned out great. Gameboard bordering on diorama. Nice. I really like the modular nature of it. Could be arranged a number of different ways, but also added to down the line.
This seems like the perfect setup for a narrative game, or a smaller skirmish like Kill Team or Wrath & Glory, the best part is that it's not even specific to warhammer either, it could be the trenches for any modern or sci-fi wargame.

They're from the Necromunda starter box, if I'm not mistaken. But I guess it'd be possible to make something similar. 🤔 I'll put the idea in the suggestion box. 😊
Certainly found this at the right time, I bought two male and female mk 1 tank kits, wanted to make two dioramas for them and so forth, modular it's a really good idea!
From outside. At some point I went outside, dug up some soil, sifted it, and let it dry in the summer heat for a good long while. Of course, I didn't need it immediately, otherwise I would have found some other solution.
Yeah, people do that. I did it once with sand from the beach and my oven stank of seaweed for months. The argument is that you kill off bugs and germs by baking it and that it will prevent mold. Whether there's any harm in using it straight from the ground, I can't say for sure, but I doubt it. If you store your terrain where it will exposed to moisture, mold will grow in any case - the spores are in the air. People use all kinds of things for ground texture. Pet shops and hardware stores will usually have fine sand that might work instead.
Man I've been building a Krieg Imperial Guard army now that we have some non-forgeworld, non-cadian guard models and nothing says the Death Korps of Krieg more than Trenches... I'm gonna have to build that because man GW terrain is absurdly priced
Why show 15 minutes worth of hard work creating something so cool only to show the end result for less than 34 seconds? ughhhh...smh. This triggers me so much. lol!

If texture is applied to cover entire terrain, heat gun step is superfluous. Just cut/gouge foam then apply terrain cover mixture for effect.

This is great thanks :) & loving your tutorials ..Just wondering if I can use your method with the coco fiber to make a desert diorama?
Thanks! You're welcome to try it, but I think it might be too lumpy for a desert. 🙂
i love things like these
Thanks! 😊
I was thinking of making a 3D Modular Cube, But I don’t think I’m ready to do such a task yet.
Give it a go. Worst case, you'll improve your skills for next time. 😊
this could be used for a ww1 display
