This is just the way the old hammer white dwarfs used to show how to make your own terrain pieces from easy acquired materials. Love the throw back ascetic Zambies!
I have small electric drill. In the past when I've messed up a conversion. If I can't fix it I've drilled a fatal wound in it. Then added it to terrain, for a corpse.
Ah I love the level of custom scratch building you’re absolutely nailing here! Like that ladder 👀 I’m working on the new AOS stuff and that would fit perfectly with the terrain on my table!
I was sent here by Bun Bun… great video Zambies! I’ve been wanting to do a spooky terrain board so I got a lot of inspiration from this! Also…. Genius idea using sprues to frame a house. Chefs kiss!
Hey, I've not come across your channel before, this video/ your ideas are great. Not thort about using sproos like this before 🤯 thanks for this and keep up the great work. I'll definitely keep an eye in this channel 👍
Especially after skaventide one of my greatest joys in this hobby has been getting rid of sprues as I finish units; this video has definitely made me rethink that!
You could probably use sprues, especially some of the funkier GW ones, as frameworks for trees and tree branches. If you were doing a sci fi setting you could also use long straight pieces as conduit along walls.
I recently used some sprue from Wargames Atlantic that had the company name printed on it. I clipped part of the company name out, stuck it onto a sprue pole, drybrushed the letters to make them stand out, and all of a sudden, a street sign for "Atlantic Avenue!"
Good stuff! I hadn't thought of using the thin craft foam and scoring it as I usually use foamcore in a similar fashion. I could save peeling off the paper and just use the thin foam 😃. I'll definitely have to try it out. This is probably my favorite part of the hobby. Building stuff from random assorted bits and bobs is always fun. Thank you for the video!
@@shogunnate7724 thanks for watching! 😄 Try out the foam craft sheets, they might be cheaper and save time over foam core. Making hobby stuff out of random objects is my favorite part too.
I'll cut sprues and glue them to plastic vegetable containers to use as small buildings in science fiction games. They look great as exterior pipes and ducts.
Oh nice! I haven’t played it yet, it’s on my list. Shamefully my sprues are populated. Too busy making terrain right now, but once I need a break. Absolutely brilliant to use those as structures like that.
It looks beautifully gloomy with the muted colors. Great job getting it all done in a single weekend! I have trouble with finishing my stuff right away lol
Thank you! If I don’t ride the wave of hyperfocus on a project, it is likely to end up on the procrastination pile 😆. So I gave myself a quick timeframe and ran with it.
Looks dope af.. I'll have to make me some terrain.. I've got a bit from a few GW boxes but none of it is geared for dark fantasy.. so yeah... this is an itch I'll have to scratch because I've been wanting to make something just like this for awhile now.. just haven't done it. Thanks for sharing, it's the perfect motivation!
I feel bad about putting this off outside of your initial 7 day window (for the algorithm) but MAN this totally inspired me, ironically because I also need terrain for #DethWizards
One time in my hobby life, I had so much sprues, I probably could´ve rebuild my House from them. Luckily I keep only 5% these days around of them. And that includes snippets and sprue gue solution.
Have you checked out Magnagothica Maleghast too? It's another really neat and flexible necromantic-themed skirmish game ruleset that your terrain and minis would suit to a T
I was legit going to hit the hay when I saw "Make terrain from trash and sprues"....I can't say no to that. It's only a cheeky 10 mins and not at *all* going to turn into another hobby wormhole...*cough*
soooo good, great vid zams

Never thought i'd be so impressed by a ladder - nailed it

Yea same here. I think ik going to steal that. Simple ingenuity.
The ladder really came out great (I mean everything looks really good - but that one was just chef's kiss)

@@ChristopherDunkle oh yeah you can! I’ve already made spruesmas trees before. 🎄 Totally forgot about that.
If you use an old-fashioned meat grinder you can very quickly turn piles of sprue into great looking rubble.
@@hjelsethak I’ve seen the meat grinder in action at Adepticon haha. The minis, the horror, it was great. But seriously this is a good idea!
