I am SO happy with how this project turned out! Look at that LAVA! The thumbnail gives you the best idea of what it looks like in real life, in the video its a bit overly bright in places but DAMN! Ahem. Yes, so I like my new tiles, and I hope you will too! 😁 SLOPE DIMENSIONS AND TEMPLATES Two 1" thick tiles of XPS foam, cut to 6" by 6", though you could use 4 tiles of 1/2" foam. I also made two of these half width (6x3") to work as thinner slopes. Link to the slope templates on patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/52477657 FLOOR TILES DIMENSIONS AND TEMPLATES The floor tiles were 1/2" thick XPS foam cut to 3x3" and 6x6" pieces, with a few 3x1.5" pieces which allow me to 'shift' the 3" tiles along wherever I want, so they're rarely in a weird looking grid. I also made 8 of each type of corner tile using these templates: www.patreon.com/posts/mountainblocks-42548273 These shapes were originally from the mountainblocks video, but were used to make special ground tiles in the grasslands video and caverns video. One type (convex) which can cover the top of the block, and another type (concave) which is slightly smaller and can slot up to the edge of a block to be used as a corner where the block is a wall. LED STRIP BUYING TIPS These LED strips you can get from amazon through my equipment list which helps support the channel, but you can also get from other places (which costs the channel if you don't buy from amazon, so please consider becoming a patron!) Ebay is a good source usually, and you can also try aliexpress. Both have a wider range of available strips including more varied lengths and cheaper versions without dimmers. For these lightboxes you want white (sometimes called daylight) LEDs, and you want to check the spacing of the LEDs, you should get 300 LEDs per 5 metres as a general standard - but it's good to check. Also check they can be cut! They're usually labelled with little scissors where it's safe to. Finally, I would not use RGB LEDs. They have far less LEDs per metre in my experience and don’t work well with using inks to get subtle colour differences - you're kind of locked into very specific shades. STEEL TIN CAN TIPS AND SAFETY Tin (Steel) is safe enough to use if you're reasonably careful, I cut most of mine from (steel) tin can lids with scissors. Made sure you're wearing thick gloves when cutting and handling, I use some woodworking gloves. If you want to make doubly sure the tin isn't sharp, use a metal nail file along the edges to round it off.
Everyone seems to be misunderstanding what I meant to say - I was meaning paper towels ARE what Americans call kitchen roll (kitchen roll is what we call it) 😅 Probably my fault in the way I phrased it 😂
Paper Towels - Im am 56 years old American and yeah, thats what we call them where I live. Enjoying catching up on your videos. Just got back into my gaming crafts.
Awesome video! Great lava effects! I know your players will love you for sending them to the elemental plane of fire! Glad it's not my characters! Take care and great work as always!
Incredible work as always dude! The lava looks so cool and the undertile lighting system is genius and opens up so many ideas! Liek blessed fairy pools or cave rooms with glowing mushrooms or crystals, your work is always a great inspiration!
An alternative to the LED's possibly is EL panels. come in a variety of colours and you can cut it down to shape. its a very thin sheet so you may not need the box either
@@RPArchiveOfficial The real trick is figuring out less expensive adjectives for your search terms to emphasize brightness per $, instead of featuring some other selling points (such as accurate color temperature or tripod mounting solutions) which could matter to, say, a professional photographer or videographer (i.e. someone accustomed to dropping loads of cash on gear). For example, compare prices on amazon for the search results of "tracing box" vs. "light panel."
These look awesome! I really have to spend more time crafting; I'm so far behind it's embarrassing! I love seeing all your new ideas and plans come out 😊 Keep up the great work!
Thank you! And you're not the only one falling behind, I'm only just managing to finish off some more stone walls to make bigger dungeons (I only made 27 originally😅)
So was I just supposed to find out Hell is actually mostly blue from a RUclips table top gaming diy video? Cause brimstone is just an old name for sulfur and sulfur = blue lava, apparently!?
As always brilliant! That translucent fimo is perfect for that kind of application but as far as I see there are more colours that means it may be used for water/fontain/portal/spell/magic gem/bottle/even stained glass window effects. Mixing several colours sculpture into some kind of whirlpool in frame and it makes perfect portal. Great inspiration.
Hey, Great video! Side note, American here and at least in the Midwest, I have never heard anyone call them a "Kitchen Roll" I have only ever heard them called Paper Towels or "a Brawny" (Brand Name) by about 2 people lol.
I honestly have ZERO interest in playing DnD or other tabletop games - But I find making these terrain pieces incredibly satisfying to watch and when I buy a house I'm absolutely dedicating a large area to building.
With the crackled panels, you could also paint yellow or bright orange in then dry brush the black on for a lava under the surface look and more contrast to the panels color pallette
Very cool! I have been looking at a cheap way to light a board and this does seem like the best. Was looking at those cheap light boards at first but they aren't that bright and cost 15$ roughly.
really loved the way you did the lighting, Im currently working on a portal made with clear hot glue and the lighting effect I wanted were kind of a mystery but after seeing how well those LED strips worked I have a nice place to start with alot less trial and error. Thanks!!!!!
Someone seems to have pranked you, convincing you that Americans say "kitchen roll." Never in my 50 years of living all over these United States -- eastern, southeastern, southwestern, northwestern, and the Hawaiian islands -- have I ever heard a single person refer to paper towels as anything but paper towels. When you said "kitchen roll," I assumed it was a Brit-ism, related to bog roll (which for us is toilet paper). Whatever. :) Terminology aside, yours is still my favorite channel for learning terrain-building, and I'll be starting as soon as my order for foam comes in. Happy gaming, mate!
9 out of 10 times when you go "in the US, I think you call it "this" " it's super helpful. All I could think about was who in the US calls paper towels "kitchen rolls" lol I think someone may have been messing with you there. Great video as always tho! The lava will definitely be my next project for a campaign finale coming up 😊
Very old televisions gad massively thick, dark glass screens. Consider shattering one and using the smaller bits as obsidian and the larger pieces can be used as practice for faceting paste jewelry. When finished, they can be mounted and used as paste jewelry sellable at your local theater company or markets.
Love your videos. I'm from the US and never heard anyone call Paper Towels "kitchen roll", LOL Maybe it's a regional thing - some areas in the US have funny names for things.
I'm not sure how hot foam can go but modelling clay like Sculpey can be cured at much lower temperatures than it says on the packaging - as low as my oven will go. I've done this often and the only difference is you have to leave it in for a lot longer. It also has the perk that these low temps won't cause any blackening.
Interesting to know! I did actually lower the temps from the packet for this to avoid plaqueing in the clay, but I didn't know how low it could go - might be worth playing with!
@@RPArchiveOfficial Checked an info page and while I couldn't find whatever made me start doing it this way I did get this... "for every 10 degree C (18 F) loss in temperature, a reaction will proceed half as fast -- or in reverse, for every 10° C or 18° increase, the polymerization rate will double." Basically, it takes a lot longer and while some have said there is a minimum temperature required I haven't run into that limit in a conventional oven yet. This is from a ridiculous amount of info on baking polymer clay - glassattic.com/polymer/baking.htm
Kitchen roll? I've never heard of them being called that. Volcanic glass can be lots of colors but usually it's black or dark green. I think I have heard of it being amber too though.
The stained play sand might not look as good for the rough, rockier terrain you were going for, but it looks very similar to the black sand beaches in Hawaii. So maybe still an option if you want a seaside volcano!
That lava did turn out awesome! I've nevee heard of transluscent clay before. Were you drinking only decaf tea? That was a lot of tea! I noticed you didn't have the "caffeine shake". Haha. With the lighting panel underneath your lava tiles, did you need to add spacer panels underneath the non-lava tiles to make everything uniform and flat?
Pfft, that was not a lot of tea 😅 there was a time I'd drink 2-3 cups an hour while working! Remember it's not as strong as coffee ;) Yeah I added a spacer to match then with mountain blocks and my 3" spacer blocks, which go under the other tiles. I could make it all thinner but then I'd need more thinner spacers and it's easier to use what I already have :)
Now I think I can finally paint lava thx - oh and completely off topic - I think you'd make an excellent Doctor Who - just a thought - Jodi is leaving after this season :-)
Honestly, I love these and EVERY video you’ve done! I’m curious if you think your current system could be adapted to a sci-fi setting? Not just 40k, but say Star Trek RPG?
@@RPArchiveOfficial mega! I think I’ll invest some time soon to make a mixed bunch of tiles, though the actual scatter terrain itself is throwing me off. Start with the basic base and work up I guess!
American’s do NOT call paper towels kitchen rolls. I have never even heard of that term before now. I think someone was pulling your leg. We call them paper towels just like you. 😉
I have never heard of paper towels being called kitchen roll. Here in Michigan we call them paper towels. However, America is a big place... I'm curious if other Americans call paper towels kitchen roll.
@@RPArchiveOfficial Aaaah, see that makes more sense xD It's happened to me before though, apparently it's popular in the southern U.S. to say Coke instead of soda, but I had never heard it even though that's where I'm at. I thought I was just becoming very oblivious. On topic though, this is awesome.
This looks really outstanding! I have two questions though 1) Before i spend the money, resources and time making it, would it be reasonably simple to make these slope pieces as grassland pieces instead, as lighter slopes? 2) Have you thought of making a water tile system? (rivers, waterfalls, shores, marsh, etc)
It has volcanic LAYERS, Phlegethos (4th) specifically and Avernus (1st) in older lore but an opening line needs to be snappy :) There's also swamps and giant hag corpse layers, so plenty to play with in future... 😁
I've lived in several states. I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever say kitchen roll. They've always been paper towels to me. Must be what they say in a corner of the US. Maybe it was up in New England? They speak funny up there.
Ahhhh. I got it now. My hearing isn't what it use to be. LOL Funny how we speak the same language but sometimes can't understand each other. I remember I stood a watch with a couple of guys off of the HMS Sheffield. One of them had to translate for the other!
Possible, harder to sculpt in the same way though. Your problem will be colouring it because the ink will bead up on the wax... Best I can suggest is place coloured plastic sheet beneath the tile (like the stuff from sweetie wrappers but bigger) Won't be as detailed but feasible...maybe 😅
I LOVE these but how do you play with something like this? Has anyone thought of a way to do a hex/grid system with them without totally destroying the aesthetic? (question applies to the grassland, caves, etc.) OR do most people do the Warhammer tape measure method? And if so how did it go?
I answer this a lot 😅 I use a tape measure, I go through my reasoning in the very first video on the channel :) Basically I find a grid actually slows down play unless you're working in a small complex space like a dungeon. For open spaces measuring is just faster, for me at least. And the dm is a built in arbitrator for disagreements. Even Wargamers can do it, even in a purely competitive system - d&d players just aren't used to it, I think :)
Love your work Matt! Quick question, is it very important that the foam is 15mm or half inch thick? I have 20mm foam, will that cause issues down the line? Cheers.
It's a geek gaming product :) I haven't gotten round to linking their full range, but it's 'fast drying basing glue' from here: www.geekgamingscenics.com/
I totally hear you on the hollow bases. But all my minis are based with clear bases because I HATE bases that don't match the surrounding terrain. I haven't been able to find Halloween clear bases. Any advice?
3d print them from clear resin? Probably the best advice I can give. I personally dislike the obvious glassy look more, but each to their own :) Check out my basing video for my theory on matching mini base colour to terrain :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial well at least it's not just me, I feel slightly better lol. Yours and other crafter's videos have been invaluable in my group's efforts to build physical terrain btw, and I have a use for all this insulation foam I found stored in my crawlspace! Thanks a bunch!

Hey! What kind of black foam is that? It sounds so... high pitched and hard when it plops together.
"I don't get any money from magnets..." Hmm, sounds like someone got paid off by Big Magnet.
I wish I was getting paid 😂
Matt, you are getting better and better, the Tolkien of Wargaming. Can't wait for the sci-fi (Star Wars) stuff to arrive. Keep up the good work!

American’s do NOT call paper towels kitchen rolls. I have never even heard of that term before now. I think someone was pulling your leg. We call them paper towels just like you. 😉
I have never heard of paper towels being called kitchen roll. Here in Michigan we call them paper towels. However, America is a big place... I'm curious if other Americans call paper towels kitchen roll.
Other way around, uk calls them kitchen roll :)
Interesting, I've only ever heard them called paper towels, I've never heard kitchen roll before. I'm American.
What I said can be heard two ways :) flip it, we say kitchen roll in the UK 🇬🇧
@@RPArchiveOfficial Aaaah, see that makes more sense xD
It's happened to me before though, apparently it's popular in the southern U.S. to say Coke instead of soda, but I had never heard it even though that's where I'm at.
I thought I was just becoming very oblivious.
On topic though, this is awesome.
As an american i've never once heard anyone refer to paper towels as kitchen roll
Other way around man :)
I bet you could use the same method for swamp tiles.
I have some plans... 😅
This looks really outstanding! I have two questions though
1) Before i spend the money, resources and time making it, would it be reasonably simple to make these slope pieces as grassland pieces instead, as lighter slopes?
2) Have you thought of making a water tile system? (rivers, waterfalls, shores, marsh, etc)
Yes and yes :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial Awesome and awesome. keep up the good work, you really are a revolutionary in modular wargaming
Thanks man!
The nine hells all these landscapes are vulcanic. Me who remembers, that the fith hell is made of ice: What?
It has volcanic LAYERS, Phlegethos (4th) specifically and Avernus (1st) in older lore but an opening line needs to be snappy :)
There's also swamps and giant hag corpse layers, so plenty to play with in future... 😁
Im from America and Iv never heard someone call paper towels kitchen rolls Iv only heard them get called paper towels for the past 20 years
It's a misunderstanding, I meant the opposite of how you heard it :)
I've lived in several states. I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever say kitchen roll. They've always been paper towels to me. Must be what they say in a corner of the US. Maybe it was up in New England? They speak funny up there.
Other way around, what I said can be misheard :) we call it kitchen roll in the uk
Ahhhh. I got it now. My hearing isn't what it use to be. LOL Funny how we speak the same language but sometimes can't understand each other. I remember I stood a watch with a couple of guys off of the HMS Sheffield. One of them had to translate for the other!
With limited funds I found blocks of colourless wax. Do you think that would work with foam?
Possible, harder to sculpt in the same way though. Your problem will be colouring it because the ink will bead up on the wax... Best I can suggest is place coloured plastic sheet beneath the tile (like the stuff from sweetie wrappers but bigger)
Won't be as detailed but feasible...maybe 😅
I LOVE these but how do you play with something like this? Has anyone thought of a way to do a hex/grid system with them without totally destroying the aesthetic? (question applies to the grassland, caves, etc.) OR do most people do the Warhammer tape measure method? And if so how did it go?
I answer this a lot 😅 I use a tape measure, I go through my reasoning in the very first video on the channel :)
Basically I find a grid actually slows down play unless you're working in a small complex space like a dungeon. For open spaces measuring is just faster, for me at least. And the dm is a built in arbitrator for disagreements. Even Wargamers can do it, even in a purely competitive system - d&d players just aren't used to it, I think :)
Love your work Matt! Quick question, is it very important that the foam is 15mm or half inch thick? I have 20mm foam, will that cause issues down the line? Cheers.
I'd trim it with a proxxon if you can, but you can always trim it later if needs be. it will affect compatibility with other pieces in places :)
@@RPArchiveOfficial Thank you!
I looked in your glue and sealant list and dont see a link to the "thick basing glue"?
It's a geek gaming product :) I haven't gotten round to linking their full range, but it's 'fast drying basing glue' from here: www.geekgamingscenics.com/
I totally hear you on the hollow bases. But all my minis are based with clear bases because I HATE bases that don't match the surrounding terrain. I haven't been able to find Halloween clear bases. Any advice?
3d print them from clear resin? Probably the best advice I can give. I personally dislike the obvious glassy look more, but each to their own :)
Check out my basing video for my theory on matching mini base colour to terrain :)
Where are the cool demons from?
3d printed, archvillain games :)
Szia ! Én már a működő Vulkán készítésnél tartok !
Normal person oven! Yay! 😂
who tf told you we call paper towels "kitchen roll" lmao I've never even heard of that term before
Listen again and flip it. WE call it kitchen roll ;)
@@RPArchiveOfficial ohhhhh sorry, I'm an idiot xD
You would be amazed how commonly that mistake is made 😂
@@RPArchiveOfficial well at least it's not just me, I feel slightly better lol. Yours and other crafter's videos have been invaluable in my group's efforts to build physical terrain btw, and I have a use for all this insulation foam I found stored in my crawlspace! Thanks a bunch!
