I just went to Amazon and looked up 15mm coupler and got under "customers also viewed" chipboard sheets, silly straws, plastic aquarium undergravel filter board, start collecting Space Marines...

@@JamesLongTheDude Lmao ok other me account.
Same
@@wierdling928?
@@sparkshark9697 That was a account i used to use, i don't use it anymore.
So when I look up aquarium gravel filters suddenly I'm swamped by suggestions to look at chipboard, silly straws and copper 15mm couplings. You folks have budged the algorithm.
Haha
I’m sure there are some confused aquarists out the now... :)
@@AVspectre yes
Yes i was
Now a year later i understand it
That barrel idea is genius, I've never seen that before.
I'm always looking for kitbash ideas in hardware stores ;)
@@MidwinterMinis The Plastic connector pieces for PEX piping would also work well, though you'd need to take a hobby saw to them. PEX itself is great since it can be cut and shaped with wire cutters and pliers, so you can create busted or exploded pipes and have them connected to your PVC pipes with super-glue.
I have not yet checked to see how well they take paint yet since I've not had time.
Can't get those types of fittings in the States. We only have straight (unribbed) or the kind with two ends of a different diameter.
@@jeremysmatana2592 search msdirect for 1/2" Copper Pipe Coupling with Rolled Stop
@@MidwinterMinis if you werent big on detail you could use them just like they are
Why is this the first I'm hearing of silly straws?? They seem like the mini pipe holy grail
Totally! I saw them in the shop and you could probably see the lightbulb above my head for miles, haha.
@@MidwinterMinis are they toys or what? I don't have them in my country, but maybe a visit to they toy shop is in store? (Not that I need an excuse for that)
@@theandf Its a straw kit you put together to drink with. You're probably better off looking online for them. Even in the US I've never seen them in a physical store, only online!
FYI, I found them in Amazon as build a straw or DIY straw and there are tons of options - super helpful. Between them and the gravel filter walkways, I've got an industrial zone in the works! Thanks!
@@jodecisanchez8785 You can generally find them in Walmart. Usually hanging on a clipstrip down a random grocery isle.
I'm such a hobby veteran, that I remember the times very well, when GW didn't even had terrain-kits and encouraged costom building your own. I love it.
this is so true, as a kid i remember one of the GW staff members showing me and a friend how to make a Foam brick wall, recently ive been working on a sylvaneth army and im being told ill need to buy 3 trees for $100.. how times have changed indeed XD
they still do encourage custom building of terrain. they even let you bring 3D printed terrain, so long as you printed it yourself and went to the effort of making it. The terrain they sell is just a way to cash in on people who are new to this sort of hobby and have no basic tools or other things with which to make really cool custom terrain.
@@TheGrammargestapo1 It might just be my local shop, his a nice guy but just a real salesman and perhaps a GW loyalist haha. I guess that is his job but I just refuse to spend that kind of money on terrain, and didnt really appreciate him telling me id need the wildwoods pack if i wanted to play wargames at GW. This probably doesnt speak for all shops and all staff members ofc :)
@@aaronjones4397 my local GW shop loves to let people bring their own terrain, and the official tournament rules allow it too on GW's website. you can bring home made terrain to actual tournaments and it's all kosher. sounds like he may just misunderstand the policy. They're pretty serious about wanting you to build your own though. they don't like it when you buy other peoples.
"you can get these literally everywhere"
Me: "I have never seen this in my entire life"
Terrain is easily one of my favorite parts of miniature gaming.
Love your terrain videos. Keep it up.
Thank you! I totally love making terrain. I could do it all day, haha
@@MidwinterMinis me too
Yh u can really get creative and make it out of anything
I find a lot of terrain guides try to make it sound like they're really easy, but they actually require you to have all sorts of specific extra tools/materials on hand. These legitimately seem like I could just go and build them once I have the key component of each piece!
"the patreons stop to the videos to having ads!" Right after that line i got an ad. Ironical XD
That is hands down the absolute best idea for barrels I have ever come across! Thank you!
Thanks Elijah! Quick and easy :)
@MidwinterMinis it's not in stock anymore and can't find them :(
when you're this dangerously close to the 10-minute mark, footage of the dog is almost mandatory
Haha, I know right? I always forget, I don't edit my videos to meet specific time lengths or engagement criteria, I just make what I would want to see. I do like seeing dogs though...
@@MidwinterMinis 7 seconds of patreon names over doge b-roll and you're golden
@@Nallenbot And use some diorama pics with his terrain and figs as background art for that roll call. Yarp. perfect, SLAANESH approves.
THIS is why i fell in love with 40k as a teenager. Building your own world to play in was just as much part of the fun as the minis, the lore or actually playing the damn game. Long weekends of creativity, painting, making a mess with glue, searching trashcans and the woods outdoors for materials, drinking iced tea and listening to music with friends... good times.
as someone who just bought his first set (warhammer 40k recruit edition) your videos and tutorials are amazing, and this video is just genius! i had no clue what i was gonna do about terrain stuff but now i do
Oh that second edition Gretchen...
Memories, misty water coloured memories.
They're always the MVP of every game I play ;)
I have those to
I don't think thank you suffices. Such creativity from painting tutorials, game narratives, terrain. You are truly a blessing to the hobby wargaming RUclips community!
the creativity in this video is mind boggling
Just years and years of fiddling about ;)
If your primer is having trouble sticking to the barrels, you might try sanding the finish down, so the primer has a more rough surface to stick to.
Terrain Tutor, Wyloch's Armoury and Tales of Middle-Earth are all great for tutorials if you're interested in terrain building.
You just listed all my favourites ;)
I would add black magic craft
@@nicolastousignant9160 I keep forgetting him and I've no idea why.
@@calebbilling4984 he's more into the D&D fantasy side of things, maybe thats why? That being said, the sci-fi vids he does have are quite worth it
Don't forget commisar gamza, he literally has a whole terrain from trash series that is a goldmine of ideas
There's a lot more you can do for the foam sheet terrain. Cut out windows in it and use match in the middle for what used to be the window frame, you can use a very sharp pencil point to "carve" shapes into the foam (bricks, bullet holes, wood support beams,...) A good idea is to look at the terrain kits from games workshop (the cheap ones) and try and copy it out of foam (you can even make towers, or same ruins but with an upstairs floor very easily). Another thing that is very easy to do it cut out a random shape of cardboard, cover it in PVA glue and sand, then superglue some random rocks or a twig standing up, then glue some flock to it, very cheap and obviously because you use actual rocks it looks realistic. To make craters, I keep styrofoam protection from boxes (preferably a straight sheet) , and I spray it with aerosol or apply superglue to the middle and slightly less towards the edges, which melts it into a random crater shape, carve the sides, you can then cover it entirely with PVA glue, cover it in sand then you can safely paint over it.
Yeah, absolutely! This video is aimed at easy stuff for beginners to try, but those are some great ideas. Foamboard is awesome :)
4:38 you had me at no ads. Thank you patrons.
Another Awesome vid by Midway Minis! Im BRAND SPANKING NEW at mini painting (like getting ready to start painting my 2ND MINI EVER kinda new) and watching videos like this one assure me that theres always help out there. Even when u know of literately NOONE who either paints minis or plays tabletop games, u can still find help! Thank u for making vids like this i wish ur channel the best of luck.
Thanks so much Carlos, I'm glad our videos are helping give you a bit of inspiration :)
The 15mm couplers for barrels is awesome.
So simple, eh? :)
The chartreuse!! I knew you were a man of culture!
Polystyrene end pieces out of electrical goods boxes.
Plaster of paris poured into a bucket of sand mould, for assorted domes and towers.
Wedding cake pillars.
Aquarium skulls and rock outcrops and plastic plants.
Scaletrix roads and model railway trees.
Empty Tincans and cut up drinks bottles, yogurt pots and deodorant can lids.
We didn't have ebay or terrain kits in our day XD
The straws idea is just golden!
I know right? So simple to make, too :)
This guy is a hero and deserves a medal for making this video
How did I not think of using under gravel fish filter? Genius !
Haha, sneaky tips!
More of this! Buying terrain is so expensive and these are some awesome cheap alternatives that look fun and easy to make.
Never thought I’d be watching a video, where sensible advice was “set it on fire”
I like making tank stoppers from the left over sprues
Gotta thumbs up just because of the KMFDM! This is some Ultra Terrain to go along with some Ultra Heavy Beats!
Genius! Thanks for this. Will save lots of doh and give me a way of getting the kids involved, helping daddy make stuff.
Little tip on foamboard cutting. Use a heavy Duty Utility Blade, and cut at low angles. Cut several pieces, then flip the blade. Have spares. Hone the blades on a piece of leather (leather has silica strands that are abrasive to steel) by finding the blade's natural cut angle, and pulling towards you and then lifting straight up in an L motion. Resist the urge to flip the blade at the end of the movement in a J motion. The edge will be destroyed otherwise.
Nice tips! Yeah, I just tend to go really easy, almost no pressure, and rarely get frayed/crushed edges :)
@@MidwinterMinis nice.
Excellent tips. I'd seen the barrel trick before. My friend even glued a small card disc (made with a hole punch) as a bung on the lid. Those pipes are way better than bendy straws.
Oh. smart! I should try that next time :)
That barrel one was so ingenious my god
Book spines, "medicine, medicine, history of drunkenness"; is this the home of a young doctor?
Haha, very much so!
Simple ideas and looks amazing
Great tips & video. Thanks for sharing!
I love this kind of stuff! When I was young I would spend all my time out of school just making whatever I could out of trash and cheap toys. I'm glad this game is giving me a chance to relive those days :)
Wow, that's really creative!
Awesome! I’ve got a few more things to try now. I’ll be looking into getting the fittings for the barrels and the gravel trays for sure.
Wow! I wish I had this level of creativity!
Awesome ideas!
This is such a stellar video. Great, creative, inexpensive and easy ideas and the instructions are clear, quick, and concise. Thank you so much!
Some brilliant ideas in this, thank you so much. The aquarium filters are perfect for a project I'm working on, genius idea.
Awesome like the Barrel
Love the trail of dead reference 🙌🙌
One of my favorite channels! Wow
Incredible video!
This one is a must-see for anybody getting into WH40k.
Great stuff, thank you.
Literally one of the best hobby videos out there.
Really helpful thanks
Wow man, amazing video👏👏👏👏
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
No problem Nick! :)
Wow, these are such great ideas! I actually started making my own terrain pieces a few days ago from failed 3D prints and the innards of broken electronic devices. So many possibilities!
Excellent ! You gave me food for thoughts
Wow this was great
amazing ideas my man thanks for this video. this really helped me make some cool terrain for my table for some rounds of 40k
Can confirm the industrial walkways are a winner! I used a cheap auto-shop matte black and a quick burst of silver spray and they already look great :)
This is great!
Great advice
Love the clever idea for the barrels, looks so real, splendid...and simple!
Thanks Phil! I forgot to mention you can bash them with a hammer to make them look a bit dented ;)
The gravel filters are very clever
Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome!
Very well spoken video and epic idea for the barrels!!!!!
Thanks very much! The barrels are awesome, eh?
Beautiful
Loving the sci fi flooring pipework and barrel scenarios will put this to good use..thks
Love the Barrels. Can't wait to try that for myself!
Thanks Josh! Yeah, they look pretty good for being so easy eh? :)
Loved the KMFDM graphiti
wow this is super amazing, was planning to buy 3d printer but this is amazing ideas for cheap way to do it! thank you!
Fantastic ideas
Brilliant.
I dont even play any of these games but I love building terrain for my kid. I use to build dioramas for my action figure collection but that got old untill now when my skills can be repurposed to amaze a new gen of nerds👍
great tip in this video. I'm looking forward to finding the copper bits on my next trip out🍻🇨🇦
I have some ideas for you use toothpicks as fences and spiked and drill a hole in a official warhammer skulls put the skull on a toothpick and add some blood or use some old warhammer sheets for windows for a liquid effect for something you can use hot glue
Hi. Nice video tutorial. Now I'm off to building my diorama thanks to you. Thank you
You have earned a like good Sir! Excellent suggestions.
