I hope that you like this weeks episode where I crafted some new modular Wargaming Terrain Hills! Personally I think they came out looking awesome and I long to use them in a tabletop game! Stay safe good folks! Lots of love! 🤘💙💛💙🤘
That is some Sharp looking Stuff. I dont do tutorials but i have some builds that i show. They are all already sold. Usually the Comic book stores that do in house DnD will buy this type of stuff. keep that in mind! I subscribed!
I've come back to this video years later, having had wonderful success with doing it myself and getting compliments every time I bring it out! Highly recommend this approach to anyone on the fence, if you're careful with your shapes this works just as well for tournament terrain as it does more narrative stuff since the texture of the rocks is grippy enough to keep models in place on modest inclines. Can't wait to have time to make more, and I'll keep directing people here for years to come!
this is what I was looking for. And I mean it, this is EXACTLY what I wanted to see when I searched "how to sculpt rocks"! this is a great job, you should be proud of yourself! and you are nice and funny too! You, sir, have a new fan!
Oh I agree! It is really an amazing process which I think involves a bit of faith or just a sense of exploration you know? I tried this originally when I got bored of doing just grey to white stone terrain and it turned out quite nice! So now this is my go to whenever painting anything stone-like to be honest! Thanks for the nice comment! ;D
For sure FunkytheFungusMonkey! I did a video called "rock formations" where I used similar techniques to create large boulders and cliffs! Have fun! 👍😀
Jag har äntligen hittat en svensk kanal med häftiga hobby builds! Vill börja själv men är lite osäker på vart jag hittar allt, vad som är bra, billigt osv! ^^
I always like your reviews because I think we think alot alike and you seem to have the same needs as I do. Keep up the great content and all of the reviews.
I came here from your Beholder Zombie painting video and I gotta say. Your channel is so awesome sir! Its not like other stupid channels where all the builds and painting vids are in time lapse. Your's is a relaxing easy to follow tutorial and also good enternainment. Just subscribed!
Oh man. Just the other day, I lamented how I didn't have large enough bark pieces handy to make a big rock to put in my forest scatter, and was planning to use sculptamold to do the ground around it. Now, I've got great evidence that I can do the whole thing with what I have! The wire brushing and paint work really helped sell the striations, I'm definitely giving that a go! I've seen other people also use blues when doing color modulation on rocks, and had some success with it myself. Should work great alongside the ketchup and mustard! Wonderful video, as always, I'm so glad I found your channel!
That's awesome news! When it comes to hills and such I am a firm believer in using whatever you can to shape the hills - especially if you have sculptamold or something similar. Then the shape vs. the texture can easily be handled separately! :) Happy you found the channel as well! Good luck and have fun! 😃
I just found your page today and have been binging your vids. I don't know how you aren't more popular. Your techniques are spot-on and easy to follow, your end results are amazing, and your production value is great. Thanks for the vids and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Travis! I am happy you found your way here so welcome! :) Yeah I am not sure, I guess it could be many things but something might not be pleasing the all-mighty RUclips algorithm 😂
I can't wait to make these! I made some Black Magic Craft rocks, and they are great for miniatures to stand on but they look too different from my other terrain, so I am excited to try your method. Thank you so much for sharing!
Ahhhh yes glorious hills that my enemies shall retreat to. I can hear them singing Iron Maiden as they flee...."RUN TO THE HILLS! RUN FOR YOUR LEIF!" Wonderful video as always
Hey Leif, I haven't made hills in a while, but my first ones were terrible. I decided to make them all identical, for some stupid reason. I am particularly impressed with the idea of pieces made for the corners... I don't know why that never occurred to me. Very nicely done! Also, the use of the "paper towel tube" as we call it in the states is very clever. I made a board with lots of tiny finishing nails to keep my washed pieces elevated, but invariably I'd get finishing nails stuck to the bottoms of my work, which was easily removed but kind of a pain.
Thank you so much! I am not sure why I made hills for the edges but it just felt right, especially since I use a smaller battle mat than usual :D That sounds like a good solution as well, I think I used to balance pieces on pushpins and such but this was just easier and cheaper :D
These hills are great, you've given me an idea what to do with my cast off styrobits thank you! Paint job on these looks great and modeling with the sculptamold makes them look quite realistic. I love everything about this tutorial.
Awesome timing! I’m just watching this before heading out to pick up some more basing supplies from a local game store (special order since their inventory is still low due to COVID). Nice yard, even in the rain. Be well and safe.
Haha! That's great! I would like to pretend that I knew that but no, just dumb luck! :) Yeah actually it kind of revitalizes a bit when it rains so in that sense perhaps I got lucky! Be well yourself Ronald! :)
I just finished the video. 14 pieces of terrain Built entirely from scratch I can’t find the words to describe my amazement. It’s like watching the people at Industrial Light & Magic (pre-Lucasfilm) build dioramas of Dagobah and Hoth for The Empire Strikes Back. This definitely gives me ideas for the diorama I may eventually build for our minis on display in our living room. But, that’s in the future. Thanks again for such an amazing project.
Wow! Ehh...hmm.... I am sort of tearing up now. Happy tears that is! :D My childhood dream was actually to work at ILM so even to get mentioned in the same sentence as such great artists. Wow. Warms my heart! Thanks Ronald! 👍
ran across your video and it's fantastic! I really like how you repurposed all that scrap xps (now I'm wishing I hadn't recently cleaned out my scrap bin). Subscribed. :)
Awesome video!! I'm just in the beginning stages of making some terrain. This video came out just at the right time for me! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
Thank you so much Chester! Oh you will have so much fun ahead of you man! Thank you for taking the time to watch it! I love helping so comments like this just gives me conviction to push on! So thank you! :)
Really great video, my club doesn't have hills that look like this yet so looking to build some. The static PVA glue is supposed to improve conductivity when using a static grass applicator - where you place the probe into the glue. I can vouch that this does indeed work, especially when the area being applied is quite large - at least you don't have to move the probe as much. (Regular PVA conducts fine for a short distance, miniature bases and what not.)
Thanks for the nice comment and thanks for the info regarding the static grass applicator! I will have to play around with it a bit cause I am not super impressed - yet! :D
Dude, that came out quit nice 😊 I‘ll try it myself. A very much needed insperation and a good one too. Tak så mycket för det 😊👍🏻 Greeting from Germany 👋🏻
Hey Tomasz! Yeah the multiple colors of grass is not a necessity I would say, it's more a flavor! 🙂 Thank you so much for the nice comment and good luck with your hills! 👍
Turned out fantastic! I have several of your videos saved for when I eventually get back to making terrain. There's so much stuff to paint, it's hard to make time for terrain but it's one of my favorite things to do!
Love the craft videos, I am trying my hand at making my own terrain but do not have the same look as yours. I'm thinking after reviewing your video vs my skills " Less is more " as they say so im going to scrap what I have and try again. By the way I would love to see different technics on making trees in the future thank you so much for your time and God speed sir.
Thank you so much Michael! Which part of the hills went wrong? Regarding the tree videos, well I have made four videos with trees so far but I do have some left so it will come in due time! 😂 Thanks for the comment! 👍
@@DevsDice Thank you for your response, what went wrong was all of my bases warped and are not flat to stand. after Painting the bases and attaching the trees they all warped.
Hi very nice!!! I am making ain indoor crawling track and for the surface I will make rocks so the video gave me inspirition how to use small cutted pieces polistirene. Thanks
This is a great project! Really love the process and results. Just saw the video now, so after 2 years how are they holding up? Anything you would update with the process, and why?
Thank you kindly Russel! They are holding up well! The only change I would make it so add some paint to the Sculptamold to make sure that IF a piece of it broke off, it would not be stark white! 👍😅
Great job. I want to master this...why didn't you buy a big for and cut it up and put plaster of paris and mode podge to create the same as opposed to cutting small pieces of forms and sticking them togather?
Do you think using cardboard instead of xps would serve as an adequate substitute? If it is covered in joint compound/filler do you think the difference will be too noticeable?
I would be somewhat careful with cardboard since it will potentially "suck up" the moisture more and potentially warp. But if the core is tight enough it should work! 👍😂
Great Stuff Leif, but Ikea and construction store? I walk my dog and pick up gravel from the side of the road from time to time. I really love these hills! Do you find they are a little small in the width and length dimensions for the gaming table?
Hahahaha! Of course! If you can find good free alternatives then by all means! For me they are good size but I can see larger flat areas being needed depending on the game! 👍😅
These look great and you've gone a great job using up scrap material, which is always a nice bonus. They look great for line-of-sight blocking terrain, but maybe a bit high for play. Thought about making a few lower ones as well?
Thank you kindly! Yeah I did some lower ones but I am also planning on making more boulders and such as scatter terrain. Also the upcoming video will feature some "lower" objects ;) Thanks again!
Hahahaha! Yeah I recorded the VO when I was late for lunch so perhaps I was just seeing food all over! ;) But yeah it's really an interesting process that goes from "okay" to "oh no" to "wow!" right? Thanks for the nice comment! 👍
Thank you so much but t oh no! We live and we learn right? I have even left my old ones. Might actually gift them away! Thanks again for the nice comment! :)
Making my own rocks based on this vid, quick question, i want them to work in as many environments as possible. Considering that, how would you paint them? Mostly interested in your color choices! Great vids!
Thank you so much for your kind words Oscarlundberg6907! When it comes to that generic hills then I think I would potentially go with more greyish with some colored undertones! Hope that makes sense? 👍😊
Oh wow! Well I use most of their different kind of flocks, I have also used some molds and some armatures for trees. For instance in the Birch video! 👍
I hope that you like this weeks episode where I crafted some new modular Wargaming Terrain Hills! Personally I think they came out looking awesome and I long to use them in a tabletop game! Stay safe good folks! Lots of love! 🤘💙💛💙🤘

The amount of Swedish mini painting RUclipsrs warms my cold Danish heart. That accent.
That's good to hear GrapeHate! We're not that many I think? 👍🤔
Chopping up the kitchen paper roll to act as stands for the drying hills is a neat idea. The Hills look great.
Thank you Euan! It was an idea that came from pure desperation when I made my dungeon tiles way back when! Thanks for the nice comment! :)
Dude, I love these. I’m really debating making some for myself. They look so tempting.
Do it Franky! They are super useful and very simple to create! :D Do it man! Dooo it! 🤘
I agree with the lord do it I’ve been making my own and they look amazing
@@tracybodle9759 Haha! Cheers Tracy! :D
Freaking fantastic Leif, these hills are a massive improvement from your original hill. I think your neighbor just wanted to join in on the fun.
Cheers mate! Yeah they have been lurking every once and a while when I go out to the porch and prime figures or varnish :D
this is what I was looking for. And I mean it, this is EXACTLY what I wanted to see when I searched "how to sculpt rocks"! this is a great job, you should be proud of yourself!
and you are nice and funny too!
You, sir, have a new fan!
Hahaha! That's great! I am so happy to help MrA6992! Thank you so much the nice words and for the sub also! 💙💛💙
The wire brush gave such an amazing texture with the dry brushing. Definitely going to use that technique for my next scatter terrain.
Good to hear! Good luck and have fun! 👍😊
These look like actual terrain. The realism is there and they just look awesome. Great job Leif. May the Vikings live on!!
Aww thanks James! Yeah these really came out nice! Thank you so much for the nice comment! And of course the Vikings live on - in Valhalla! ;)
Looks great! Love the little detail of adding the colors of sediment layers.
Thank you so much! Glad you like it! 👍😊
This is easily the best rock and hill-making guide I've ever seen! Thank you!
This is the best hill/rock tutorial ❤ thank you Leif!!
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you to say! 👍💙💛💙
They look great! I love when initially ugly paint jobs turn out beautiful by the time they're done.
Oh I agree! It is really an amazing process which I think involves a bit of faith or just a sense of exploration you know? I tried this originally when I got bored of doing just grey to white stone terrain and it turned out quite nice! So now this is my go to whenever painting anything stone-like to be honest! Thanks for the nice comment! ;D
best music ever for showing the result
Thanks! It's an awesome track! 👍😀
This rock design seems perfect for large boulders and cliff faces, definitely going to make use of it myself.
For sure FunkytheFungusMonkey! I did a video called "rock formations" where I used similar techniques to create large boulders and cliffs! Have fun! 👍😀

HOW could ANYONE give this a 👎 ??????
Best hill tutorial yet.
Naaaw thank you so much Harriet! It warms my heart to see this comment! Thank you so much! 💙
Man, I dont know why i never thought to try this. Its so obvious watching this video, great work.
Thank you so much RoboticDragon! Happy that the video sparks some ideas! 👍💙💛💙
Otroligt snygga. Ska försöka använda mig lite av detta till mina bärg. Ska bara hitta vart man hittar sculpt mold i Sverige.
Tack så mycket Eroooz! Jag tror jag hittade det på diverse hobby och konstnärsbutiker online. Bara att googla "sculptamold + Sverige"! 👍😊
Household paper can be called "paper towels' also. Love the video!
Gotcha! Thanks for that Lolthien! 👍😊
Stumbled across your channel. What a find! Thanks for the simple and enjoyable instructions on this particular piece of terrain. Subscribed.
Thank you so much Chase and welcome to the channel! 👍😊
Amazing the differance a wash makes. Best use of offcuts rubbish sculptmold and some basing materials.
Thank you so much Ellesse! Happy you like them! 👍😊

So am I Tommy! Glad you like it! 👍🙂
...ketchup and mustard xD beautiful terrain, great video, really enjoyed, thanks!!
Hahahaha! Yeah I recorded the VO when I was late for lunch so perhaps I was just seeing food all over! ;) But yeah it's really an interesting process that goes from "okay" to "oh no" to "wow!" right? Thanks for the nice comment! 👍
These look fantastic, and are super well done. But do you feel the 'undertones' you did made any difference. I can't really tell from the video.
Thank you supervike1! Yeah the undertones do definitely make a difference in real life! 👍
These are amazing! Now I want to throw away my old ones ^^
Thank you so much but t oh no! We live and we learn right? I have even left my old ones. Might actually gift them away! Thanks again for the nice comment! :)
@@DevsDice I might crush them and use the bits I get :D
Sure re-using is always a good option! :D
Making my own rocks based on this vid, quick question, i want them to work in as many environments as possible. Considering that, how would you paint them? Mostly interested in your color choices!
Great vids!
Thank you so much for your kind words Oscarlundberg6907! When it comes to that generic hills then I think I would potentially go with more greyish with some colored undertones! Hope that makes sense? 👍😊
@@DevsDice Cheers! Thanks for the input👍
Love them they look great.
Thank you so much! 👍😊
i usually dont comment on youtube, but when i do, its a devs & dice video
Hahaha! 😂 Is that so? Well I am honored Christian! Thank you so much for each and every one of your comments! 👍💙💛💙
Those turned out amazing, did you save that dust to craft with? Great video man, keep Em coming
Haha! No sad enough I didn't! Thanks Jamie!
What are the Woodland Scenics products you use and recommend?
Oh wow! Well I use most of their different kind of flocks, I have also used some molds and some armatures for trees. For instance in the Birch video! 👍
tack du hjälpte mig massa
Ingen orsak Dalton! Det var ett nöje! 👍😊
Looks cool - thanx for sharing :)
No problem! Thank you for watching! :)
I'm a bit confused, what happened to the right angle corner if the first piece?
Not sure, but I think I switched back and forth between pieces shown here! 👍😅
Hey those look great! What do you seal them with after they’re done?
Thanks Jack! I usually seal my terrain with Matt varnish! 👍🙂
