If you enjoyed this build, let me know what you'd like to see next! I was pretty happy with this in the end, and I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, do check out www.patreon.com/broadswordwargaming to keep up to date with all the WIPs and to help support the channel. Thanks! 😊
Really enjoyed the video! Just to let you know, the Patreon and Amazon link in the description appear to be cut off and broken. At least, they are for me.
@@stormsorrow4142 oh thank you.😊 I don't know why it does that. They should do now, despite having "...", bloody RUclips. 🤣
I loved this build so much, I immediately grabbed this set on eBay and the necessary materials and bits 🙈 so thanks, my wallet hates you now 😅 also, do more toy / playmobil conversions, there is quite a lot of potential in some sets e.g. the dragon castle
Have you considered doing some kind of Spaceship, Space hulk or Lost Patrol gaming board?
This whole project is so great! The center ring of stone is particularly inspired, I love it!
I gotta say your finger is well on the pulse of the warhammer RUclipsrs community, you're always an early commenter with positive things to say. It doesn't go unnoticed, good man.
Thanks so much man! 😀 Wasn't sure on the size, but think it was about right in the end.
Gooby boy like u ring OLI! 😂😉😜
Fifteen minutes into watching this my 3 year old declared, "not this, I want paw patrol!" which was the moment I realised we were actually watching it together and he'd been absolutely glued to it since the start. That's the first time he's ever watched something of mine for more than thirty seconds without demanding a cartoon. I think the close up shots of applying glue, sand a paint really appealed to him. 😉
Your 3 year old son regularly demands things from you his father? You don't seem to think that is an issue...
O god paw patrol thats what my lil niece likes lol She likes pokemon well i like them to I cant keep up though ! Theres like hundreds now lol
@@savagex466-qt1io Over 700 pokemon now lmao. Got my first game when I was 5 in 2010 and been a fan since. It was Soul Silver if anyone wants to know
@@rhettburgess8753 how do you know what he thinks or says to his child when the kid ''demands'' something??
@@redsampler2017 By his own post.
This is so trippy seeing one of my favourite toys as a kid being turned into terrain lmao
I read that as How to Turn Kids Into Warhammer Gaming Tables XD
Gruesome
I saved this set from my son's Playmobil collection. In fact I saved all the Romans and gladiators with the coliseum! This video just showed up in my feed! I did a chariot racing track using wedding cake columns and used a stone finish spray paint. Now I have more techniques to try. Thanks for the tutorial! I do want to make mine a bit more portable though.
I'd quite like to see more projects where you turn kids' toys into tabletop pieces. This was splendid.
this toy feels like it would make a perfect replica of the arena from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, if anyone ever wanted to make that into a diorama project or miniatures campaign
Awesomeness! Between you and Bill making stuff, my kids aren’t going to have any toys left!
Gonna send this to a few folks who bought these coliseums and didn't end up doing owt with them. This is wonderful!
Ah thanks buddy! Yeah, I've had it for about 2 years now 😅 one of those "ill get round to it" projects. 😀
Not only did you turn something into an arena, but you have also created a display board to show your guests! Well done sir!
As soon as I saw that colosseum I knew exactly what it was from! Play mobile was a good time
When i first read the title i read it without the toys part and the inner drukhari within me awakened.
If you thin the oils more, it will become way easier to pin-wash with 😊 Super cool project! 😊
This was such a great project to watch coming along. Love the final build and the way it looks. As Maximus himself would have said, Are you not entertained??
"IS THIS NOT WHY YOU CAME HERE?". Thanks Rodney. Your support has been really useful, especially at 3am. 😅
This project came out great! Now you have a great themed board for many games available and not just warcry.
Brilliant. Lovely piece of work. I would suggest a dremel with cutting discs for that plastic. Mask and glasses essential. Some bits might end up looking a bit melted if dremel is on high speed. Than be cut off or left. After all I’m sure some fireballs can melt stone!
Again, brilliant work.
Now this is the way you repurpose a Playmobil set! Can’t wait to see the Warcry battle report.
It's great to see that Rust-Oleum Limestone spray in action. Usually the more impressive builds I see people doing feature some exotic product as a key part of the main effect, but I've seen that entire line at my local hardware store.
Nice video guys. We built our play Mobil arena up a couple of years ago now and ran some Warcry Arena of Blood games in it. It's perfect size for warcry. Definitely recommend getting one to people on the fence.
I actually remember seeing some of your videos a while ago. 😀 They looked great. 👌
Just took a look at yoir stuff again.. the quality has jumped somewhat 💪. Looks great. Will have to have an inter channel game at sone point. 😀
Thats the ultimate kids toy conversion... Good job! Love it.
We'll done! Playschool makes amazing terrain
"This plastic is solid, it will not break" as a german who had a lot of Playmobil in its youth all i can say it: yes... and no. Perfectly fine for normal play in House, but when you play with it excessively outside, it can break quite fast. :D
Damn Oli, this is such a fantastic board build! Such inspired decision to use the old playmobile set. I am definitely inspired to try something similar for a kill team board.
It's very good. I did see Alan on Red rose Wargaming do this a year ago. Red rose Wargaming is great, if only for Al's fantastic Yorkshire accent and enthusiasm!
That cobblestone wallpaper looks amazingly useful!
It's really good stuff, perfect for quick builds too.
A _Necron_ tomb world for _Kill Team_ would be awesome!
And you obviosly got the skills! ;-)
I'd love to do a Necron board, fear not, it's in the pipeline. 😀
Really like homemade boards making a return. It was one of the things that got me into the hobby and suddenly everybody was using gamemats..
Tables are great but where the hell do you keep them!
@@funoff3207 shift the bed, move the sofa, clear the kitchen.. easy! 😅
Absolute genius, would never have thought of using something like that
Dude!! That is class... My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius.
Father to a murdered son.
Husband to a murdered wife.
And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next!!!
"Slave.. You will remove your helmet and tell me your name".
I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."
It came out looking awesome! But I do have a recommendation for your sanity if you ever want to pinwash so much at once again. You can spray the thinner oil wash with your airbrush then use a big sponge soaked in mineral spirits to wipe it away from the raised surfaces. It goes a lot faster though you will have less fine control.
This looks great! I would definitely suggest adding paint to your mod podge if only for the reason you wanted to paint over it before hitting it with a spray can: The mod podge seals it for painting. But if you miss a spot, the paint propellant can and likely will melt it as you said. The black paint in the mod podge often still comes out looking kind of gray and doesn't really cover the foam. That's fine though, you can see if it has covered (and sealed) the foam so you can spray it safely.
I did not know Playmobil made anything beyond towns and firefighters and stuff. I just went down an Internet rabbit hole that led me to a Smithsonian article about the history of the toy. So, thank you for this video. :)
Olly: "It got these cracks and I'm not sure why"
Me, thinking back to the 2:56 with all the pulling and breaking and clearly seeing the compound cracking: "Just one of those little mysteries I'm sure"
Great find and a real interesting project though. One day I will have the sort of space to attempt such things
It's one of life's great questions.. and no one will ever know the answer. haha
@@BroadswordWargaming some things we are just not meant to understand
Playmobil, that is such a good idea !! I'm in Spain which has got Playmobil everywhere.
Awesome. Grab a set and give it a whirl :)
Really turned out beautifully. The stone ring in the center is fantastic!
Thank you. 😊
Nice to see a video from you again. I know that you have been busy, but this is a pretty nice come back build that you have done here.
After watching this video I had to go and buy one of these sets. Whenever I do get to build my Imperial city I want one of these as a centrepiece. Thanks for the inspiration
What an amazing build! Well worth the wait.
Thanks buddy! 😀
This is SUPER inspiring, it looks great. I'm going to now be scouring the internet for cool kids toys for the rest of the evening :D
I saw someone running a gladiator game on one of these at Historicon, and it looked fantastic. So good that I got one, and never figured out what to do with it. Thanks for the inspiration to get back to that project!
Looking forward to seeing the warcry batrep on this board
The tufts look absolutely stunning, holy shit!
Thanks! 😀
This is the style I learned from my dad doing HO scale train setups with him but now I’ve gotten so good at terrain I miss using shit from around the yard a house an honestly some of my best pieces a
Have been from everyday stuff around the house
This looks great! Gonna have to go through all my old toys and see what I can use.
I have the same set, and it's huge! I fully turned mine to chaos, but I don't have the space to keep it together so for now it lives in pieces and it brought out when needed. On day though....
Arena Rex has been doing this for years. You just stuck the warhammer moniker on it. Check out all the Arena Rex Custom builds using this set. This set was going to be retired and the Arena Rex community saved it keeping it in production...
Seems you resisted the urge to put skulls and bones in all the nooks and crannies! I don't think I could. Very nice work, thanks for sharing.
Awesome video Oliver! Love the transformation of the kids toy into some amazing tabletop terrain. Those static grass tufts turned out killer...another toy to add to that ever growing crafting wish list. 😜
MORE TOYS. I've had that applicator for almost a year, and never used it..feels good to have finally tried it. Was pretty pleased with the results. Onwards and upwards!
Just got a chance to watch this. That turned out awesome Ollie! Love the way the tufts turned out.
Thanks so much! Yeah, they took a few goes to get right, but happy with the results now. 😀
Cool build. I have been seeing this thing around forever and always wanted to pick it up and work on it similarly. I did not realize how big it is! Great video!
I know 2020 onwards has been a bit crap, and you've been busy with the new store, but this is a return to classic Ollie and it's been great to see some quality content.
Thanks man! You mean I've been putting out shite for a year. 🤣🤣 No, I appreciate that. It's been a grind of a year, but back to the good stuff now. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming Ha! Not at all, you've been doing speed painting and squats videos, whereas this is more like the ruined city board or trenches, a proper endeavour where your make this awesome scene out of nothing, like an extra from the A Team. Crack on lad.
This is genius. I'm definitely building something like it. Great work mate👍
Yessss. Batreps! Batreps! Batreps! Looks great. Love the shot verity as well.
such a great idea! finished product is awesome! looking forward to seeing some warcry stuff also!
I would love to see more of these, you turning toys into terrain.
Maybe you could film yourself going to a toy store, pick a few items, and then try and make something out of them?
Very nice! You just showed me another option in building an arena for my Victus games. Thanks for the idea!
Great video, very professionally done and great conversion
This is amazing! The only change my non-crafty self would do would have been to fill the columns that were cut off/broken. Columns were carved from solid stone, in segments then stacked.
That's a great table. Very well done!
Such a cool idea and what an epic build, well done! I imagine you standing there with a tuna mayo sandwich and being proud of the result! Hope to see some more arena fights in the future!!! So whats next, a blood ball pitch?
Ha, yes, happy with the result, so crack out the Tuna baguette. 🤣
So, I have a high fantasy AoS board, then it'll probably be the bloodbowl stadium.😀
Very cool. I got the same set for Arena Rex, they use the same one for their demo table too.
Oh nice! Well get stuck in. 💪
I was gonna mention seeing one similar at my FLGS, but Arena Rex is too familiar not to be the reason/ answer.
Either way, this vid has the how to and the awe factor missing from just seeing one, cheers for that!
Really loving the run of videos on scenery, thank you!
That grass is amazing
Great vid. That playset reminds me of the Imperial City in The Elder Scrolls province of Cyrodiil in epic scale.
That's a solid point. Love Elder Scrolls stuff. Hmm. *dons thinking cap*.
Nice to see I'm not the only one watching ST: Voyager while painting, lol!
Haha, there arent many of us it seems.. but its the best! Stargate SG-1 is also good for hobby.
Nice work, I regularly spend more time than my children in the toy aisle 😂 I also found out about the spray propellant melting foam the hard way.... After hand drawing bricks into foam for longer than I'd care to think about
Haha, I know right.. I love stealing the kids toys. I'm like the anti-santa. 🤣
@@BroadswordWargaming I think that makes you the grinch mate 😂 😂
Great video Olly, fantastic execution of a cool concept. As an aside, I love those textured Rustoleum sprays!
You need a plasticy sculpy looking medal for this. Thanks for the cool tips sir.
Thank you , Broadsword Wargaming .
Nice job there Oli' ,Looking forward to seeing the Games ,
Looks amazing! The choice of limestone really makes it. The pin washing may have taken hours, but it really makes the end result pop.
Glad I'm not the only one who watches Star Trek Voyager to get through painting chores 😄
Voyager for the win! And thanks. 😊
@@BroadswordWargaming it was a good show... just a shame about how it ended. Not quite Game of Thrones bad, but bad nonetheless.
I am now going to be hunting down playmobile kits, and I imagine so are a good number of people 🤣
Superb work! Been looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint! Great video dude!
Thanks Pickle. 😊
Looks great! One thing to mention, gold does not get verdigris, only copper and alloys of copper. I’ve found that you can get good results simulating verdigris by painting in a dark green, dabbing in a few patches of lighter green, then heavily dry brushing the entire thing in dark brown/bronze. The verdigris ends up less shiny than it can with inks.
You did amazing work on this. So did the people that designed the original toy. It's amazing the difference paint and other items make.
Awesome video as always. I love to see how you make these pieces or scenery come to life! Now, more batreps with Warcry!
Thanks Chuck. 😊
This is awesome. I absolutely love kids toys turned into terrain. I think it's my favourite niche, subsection-y part of terrain making. And this is a fantastic example of that. Just a great job! 👏
Cracking work man!!
Really great looking build 👏 Very inspiring and some great techniques to add some great detail.
Thanks buddy! I'll have to start messing with fog soon. 😉
Amazing work. Thank you for your continued content, it nice to see some variety applied to the landscape.
Pretty insane dude!
I remember my Granddad, made a awesome pill box(WWII Bunker) for my GI-Joes for my 10th Birthday, it was fantastic, I then asked if he could make a base, I showed him a picture of what I would like, he spent 4months of his retired life to make it, I forgot what I even asked for, next birthday came, BAMN 1.5m x 90cm Full on Army Base with Gun Turrets/Machine Gun, exact size for my GI-Joes, my Granddad said he spent $12 making the base, I said I'll mow his lawn/wash his windows/wash his car, everything to pay him back. There's more of the story but if you comment and want more i'll post
Funny how you mentioned Voyager, I've been bingeing on it and was taking a break from it to watch your video
Really amazing job. Looking forward to the batrep.
Thanks 👍 With New Warcry out I think we FINALLY have something planned :)
Interesting video . Excellent idea . Well done .
This looks amazing!
Stunning! Great job! You can get maximus and the commodus duelling models from Warlord Games...just sayin...”what we do in life echoes in eternity!”
I do have those models hanging around here. 🤔 😀
More toys to miniature videos please. This is amazing
Ask, and thou shalt recieve. 😇
Genuinely brilliant
Nice idea ! I love the final effect ! :)
Thanks 😀
This is so cool. I am so inspired to keep at my building
Ah, brilliant. Get it done and get stuck in 😀
Playmobil presents the Khornate berserker blood arena for kids and family fun
Mate absolutely loved the video and have been dying to see how you did it after your Instagram posts , can't wait for the Bat Rap .
Such a cool idea! However I don't damaging toys like that, but other than that part I like the rest of it. As a diorama or a wargaming board this is awesome work! I kind of want to get one of the Playmobile coliseums for myself. Seems like a fun toy on it's own too.
Look incredible Oli! Might have to try this 😮
Fantastic video, I would have hours of fun playing on this board although I would be playing with proper gladiators.
I think Maximus might have to make an appearance soon. 😀
i had that arena when i was young :) good memories
After you sending me pics of this coming together for like seven months I am shocked to admit I never realised this started as a kids toy hahahahaha
WHAT THE FUCK I cannot ever unsee MC as tuna mayo *vomits*
Haha. Add a bit of pink/grey and add it into a sandwich. Done.
Bonus Voyager points!
This...is absolutely awesome. Bravo!!
Turns a seemingly innocent child's playset into something straight out of Nuceria.
