- Well it turns out that with a bit of play-doh and a little 3d printed box you can just HAVE infinity space marines forever?!
But is it really just that simple?
This video is my journey which started out as a bit of a joke and then turned into a real deep dive experiment into the ultimate question...

I think when the Emperor said:
"Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war forge them"
I don't think this is what he meant.
almost "like play doh" was the quote
He actually said :"Like clay I shall mould them and in the BIG CLAMP of war squish them"
You question the word of the emprah? Heretic!
Check your local library for a 3d printer. I just recently found out ours has 2.
@@TempOne-vh4fd I bet it"s an FDM and not a resin printer. For this small scale modelling FDM is usually unsuitable. Or takes a lot of work (sanding, or using fillers) to get rid of the layer lines. And the models lose some of the details in the process.
If you want a REALLY sturdy marine, you could turn this 3D print mould into a rubber mould and cast it in white metal. Now that's old school.
Full circle.
Get cheap metal utensils and plates and cups from a thrift shop, melt them down, and cast them. However, you should use a lead tester unless you’re very confident you’re not going to swallow or lick your marines.
@@lctaylor6 Cheap utensils are probably going to be made out of stamped steel and are way beyond what you'd be able to melt down at home. Would be better just to buy some white metal and use that, it isnt *too* expensive afaik

The whole Play Doh Space Marines ad was pure gold. The editing, the script, the humor, it's just perfect.
So savage , “she took the kids…” 😂
"She's not coming back." 😂😢
YESSS
The true "We have Space Marines at home" experience!
That was literally the moment(s) that I rushed to Like the video hahaha
The true "We have Space Marines at home" experience!
The real question is: can we seal the mould with anything that makes it suitable for food? EDIBLE SPACE MARINES
For Tyrranid and Ork players who wants to teach others how to play?😂
Marzipan, i work at a company that does stuff like that but i would imagine GW wouldnt like that :D
Gummy marines would be super easy. All you would need is to add a sprue and print in food-safe resin.
you have sugar paste, that would work as a charm!
@@Cry2punkt0 problem is 3d printer resin is porous and this not fiid-safe, so it'd need a coating on the inside before you make food in it
"she took the kids" absolutely destroyed me.
I do really enjoy the irony of a “how can I make infinite space marines?” Video in which a 3D printer is used, but not to make infinite space marines
I feel like La-Doll clay from Japan would work really well for this, its a product created to make realistic Ball Jointed Dolls. When it is dry it does not shrink at all, and its designed to be painted on when dry, ends up with a really smooth finish.
Its always impressive how high quality the editing is for your videos.
Thanks! I really appreciate it 🥹
A few tips for these kind of molds; after adding a bit of whatever release agent works for your material choice, pack both sides of the mold with material and focus on the troublesome details and undercuts. Pack the clay/dough into the nooks and crannies of both sides, add a ball to the middle and smoosh. This will ensure a consistent smoosh-fill.
2. After you do a few successful ones, weigh it including the flashing and squeeze out and use that same amount for each next batch to get repeatable results. If your best few had the right amount of material, just weigh them, and if they weigh 20g or whatever just make a bunch of 20g balls and then smoosh em all at once. (Edit: to clarify, you don’t want to measure the figure after clean up because you always want a bit of squeeze out. Ideally you want just a tiny bit of squeeze out on all sides, this ensures that you have a properly filled mold and no bubbles or gaps.)
3. A bit of compressed air works great to release them without pulling and squishing. Even a can of keyboard duster air works, or a small airbrush compressor and empty airbrush. Just get a small opening and gently blast some air into the crack to undo the suction and surface adhesion and it should pop out really easily without getting that gansta lean you mentioned.
Lastly, I’d absolutely recommend foam clay! It works like clay, air dries and hardens into a material very similar to craft foam sheets, it’s a soft bouncy closed cell foam. Clay foam takes paint pretty well, it stays squishy and fun to use, and it’s safe for kids to play with and not break them or hurt themselves/each other by throwing them or whatever. A kid can learn to paint for cheap (a big bucket of foam clay is like 500gr for about 15$us and keep in mind that it weighs almost nothing. 500gr is a lot) and have fun playing with them and get excited and bash them or bang them into each other or whatever without making you cry as the kids destroy your expensive and hand painted minis! Hahaha one of the best parts about foam clay is that it sands and trims easily but the magic thing about it is you can smooth a surface with just a bit of water on a finger or cotton swab. You can just dip a swab in water and smooth over the mold lines or imperfections, and “glue” mistakes with a bit of water. This only works before it dries fully. For more info Kamui Cosplay has videos on it and works with foam clay a lot!
I did all of the experiments myself with this technique when my niece wanted to make her own toys. She wanted some larger scale D&D minis but she wanted chibi and cute ones. So 3D digital sculpted a few myself and paid a girl on fiver to do a few more, we had these exact type of molds made and printed in engineering resin by a D&D print shop on Etsy and then we made hundreds of minis out of foam clay and they held up for a long time! She did dozens of game nights with her friends, she strode them loose in a big box or a backpack and they just took the abuse. I’d highly recommend it.
She’s older now and using the same clay and techniques for cosplay too… it’s versatile stuff!
Hope this helps! Good luck and I hope you get your army of tie dye marines!
Absolutely amazing comment. Saving this info for later use
@@SouthOfTheStars278 agreed. We've got an expert here!
Thanks!
This is really fantastic. I’ve been looking for a way to teach my class how to paint minis while on the school’s budget and this video and comment may be exactly what I’m looking for!!
Your paint jobs were like magic. This went from a fun novelty to genuinely impressive.
I had a moment of stunned amazement seeing you FREEHAND the Imperial fist.
Hardcore, instant subscription, we love to see it
I may do a little video in my patreon about the imperial fist yellow with some freehanding tips! People seem into it :D
Bruh, first time freehanding that imperial fist logo is genuinely insane
It’s a relatively simple design…
@@justadummy8076 nevertheless, not easy to freehand
Milliput could be a good call too; I find it tends to be a lot softer than Green Stuff when mixed, especially if you get it nice and warm, and you can also leave it to cure for a while in the mould, so it should be sturdier when you try to release it.
I use milliput with my Blue Stuff molds. It's much cheaper and the results are just fine.
This seems like a great way to practice painting space marines without worrying about ruining a bunch of overpriced minis. Also they’re cute.
I was thinking the same thing!
you can always just prime over the painted mini again if you dont like your paintjob. you can do this a few times without visibly loosing detail. and then you can soak it for a few days in window cleaner and clean it with a toothbrush
@@peterheinzo515that's efficient, and I've done that a few times, but honestly this just looks more fun
The same people do an Orc one so you could make a mini-game.
Over priced??? Not at all. I've never seen an over priced mini, except on forgeworld.
"THEY'RE politically DUBIOUS..." 😂😂😂
Fun fact putting Super Sculpey into a cold place such as a freezer stiffens it up to make it less likely to deform. Also, you could pack both sides and then close it to have less squeeze-out.

That stone cold "she took the kids." had me rolling. lol!
Just out here appreciating the effort that went into the play doh dreadnought that featured in 2 seconds of footage
Imagine for a moment, Ultramarine jello shots! For each unit you lose in a game, consume an Ultra-shot-marine!
This needs to happen
Love DIY hobby friendly videos like this and would love to see more of your personal creations/paints vintage or new!
I've built models before (plastic, card, and metal) but I'm not into tabletop gaming at all, and then this video popped up in my recommended. Your space marines turned out pretty good and your miniature painting skills are amazing!
“So I went the complete opposite and tried to make one out of a soft material……clouds” made me laugh out loud at work! 😂
Ah Yes - the Cloud Space Marine.... **cut to Corvus Corrax ripping a screaming Word Bearer apart as a mass of Black Smoke**
It is such an unexpected delight to watch your videos. You’re editing and humor just gets better with every one. So many great little lol bits in here and you have such a great positive vibe.
Thanks for making some really unique content. Excited to see what you do in the future.
Normally enjoy the content from this channel but this episode was extra fun and enjoyable 😊, the "she took the kids" comment put me over the edge 😂
secondeded
So when doing this kind of press mould stuff for miniatures, my tips would be:
1) Use Apoxie Sculpt, a different type of epoxy putty, as it's cheaper than Greenstuff but takes detail well
2) Demould the miniature when the epoxy has fully set. It might be easier if you insert a piece of coat hanger wire into the putty in the mould when it's still soft, then you can use this to leverage out the finished miniature when is set.
This took me back to the time my uncle would cast Space Marines with lead. Fun times, although I think my age expectancy might have dropped by handling those lol.
Nice one Louise, Super Sculpy is used by a lot of doll makers I believe but one product you may want to try is Apoxie Clay which is a 2-part epoxy clay that hardens naturally in a mater of hours and is very resilient with no shrinkage. You may have seen Apoxie Sculpt being used by kit-bashers but I believe the Clay is a softer material and is recommended by the manufacturer for stamping/impressions. If you want a rubbery little guy then there is a 2 part resin that produces a rubber (if I remember the name I will edit this) but this needs some adapting of the mould for a 'Pour' hole and vents and finally the old silicone bath sealant - squeeze it out into a tub of water and dish soap, massage into a lump then use like the Play-Doh - I use this for cheap and easy moulds for puppet eyes and it holds up really well (my moulds are over 3 years old). Keep up the weird videos.
Endless test models for paint schemes! YES! PLEASE!
Your videos are so incredible! As a crafty person who’s partner paints WH (that’s always been cool but not a pool I’ve wanted to dip my toe into) finding your content has me building my first kit and being so engaged by all the creative ways you enjoy the hobby! Literally inspiring 🥳
I have several actual units made of DAS clay and greenstuff-like resin and I would caution that DAS clay will break over time when handled, unless the surface is soaked in glue to harden it. It is very porous so it will absorb it to decent depth. It shrinks a lot too, so I only used it for certain flat parts like cloaks and non-human minis like trolls. Once painted and on the table, you cant tell at a glance which of my minis are hard plastic and which are DAS.
Also, regarding the amount of material and pressing, this seems quite excessive. My general approach was to just fill each half exactly with material , then add a little bit to the center to force the two halves to merge and create pressure on the details, but minimize material waste, needed pressure and mould lines. Generally you could produce ok result pressing with hands only.
I am just vintage enough to love both those retro space marines, and Play-doh! It is the perfect combination. I TOTALLY would have had the Play-doh Space Marine Manufactorum!
this is so insane and unhinged it absolutely demolishes the norm and storms off into the territory of original and VERY interesting content. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it 🤣
Exactly! Super refreshing while also informative :)
That little spinning shot with the IF and the shorter RW marine looks like the set up for some kind of goofy buddy comedy about two marines that were accidentally dispatched on the same mission and had to team up to take down a chaos cult or something 😂
Honestly, not only is this a fun little project to mess around with, this is a great way to test color schemes and painting techniques. Bake a batch of sculpty, and you can practice on a bunch of clay minis to get your scheme down and then use what you've learned to apply to your expensive GW models
I agree! This is in no way a "let's replace our armies with these" but just a really cool little experiment and honestly a lot of good fun for those who wanna practice or try something out!
This was genuinely a fascinating video. Thanks for the work you put in putting all this together and subjecting yourself to painting play-doh!
Looks to me like you had a blast throughout this whole project, various fails and such aside! Your inimitable silly humor (and that big smile) always makes your videos that much more fun to watch, too, further.
Anyone who has tried to unblock their child's playdough extruder is not surprised that it dried out rock hard.
A suggestion on that mold and using firmer materials like the Sculpey and Fimo: can you drill a small hole at the bottom of the mold for some of the excess to squeeze out of? That might make it easier to get them closed with having to resort to a vise each time. And the DAS was definitely too wet; I think the curing time is too long on that but I think they have other clays that might work better. NARA makes a flower clay for sculpting petals that stays flexible and can bend up to 360 degrees which might open up some interesting ideas if one was to go beyond space marines.
Yup these needed vents and petrol jelly. Green stuff can be used in molds, you just have to let it cure for a few hours before you try and take it out.
Squish molds in general aren't that great for minis in general, because often minis are too complex to be cast using one mold. You have to use multiple molds for the different parts and you end up with a lot of flash.
Louise, your enthusiasm is infectious! This was so much fun, I can't wait to try it out.
Love the video so much! Petroleum jelly is the best mold release, if you want to try FIMO again. Also you can boil Super Sculpy to get it to harden. :)
This is probably the most hilarious video yet. I love all of it and how much fun it was. The icing was definitely the "advertisement" in the middle.
Well done! 😁👍
That playdough dreadnought at the end was a thing of beauty
He's my favourite
Very cool, the 3-D box idea can lend itself to other areas as well! I was thinking that maybe using a quick clamp might be a good and inexpensive way to squeeze the mold together instead of a vise.
That paint job is incredible!!!! love it :)
Curious if a 50:50 milliput:greenstuff mix would work well? The milliput makes the mix a lot softer and easier to work with
It will
Why even add greenstuff? Just use milliput, it would be softer
The greenstuff just needed to cure for a few hours before taking it out of the mold. I use pure greenstuff with oyumaru/bluestuff and found its best to let it sit long enough to harden so it doesn't warp when you take it out of the mold, but is soft enough you can practically peel away the flash with your fingers.
That is just so cool!!! I want to make an all Play Doh army now! Hahaha! Your paintjob makes them look almost indistinguishable at a glance, really nice work!!!
I love that a good or great paint job will elevate a sculpt that might not be the "best" or most detailed. These are glorious.
I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH!!!
I've only recent started playing and researching 40k, and I love the charm and aesthetic of the old 2nd-5th edition models. The new models are beyond cool, but I really want to get multiple factions made of dough.
Thank you for taking the time to put this wonderful video together.
Watching your new video has become a family tradition for my two young boys and I every Sunday morning (NZT). They especially loved the Cloth Goblins diorama and the Squats.
TELL THEM I SAY HI!
Wow! They look seriously Oldhammer when painted. Fun stuff! Thanks Louise!
Glad you like them!
👍@@roguehobbies
I'm pretty sure this video made me aware of Necromolds. The first major expansion and restock of the base game just released at the beginning of the month and international shipping should be opening up soon towards the end of the month or start of next month if you want to get your hands on the game.
My copy just arrived yesterday and I came back here to rewatch since I'll probably try making permanent versions of some of the minis and wanted to see what you'd settled on for clay and I might want to figure out adding that space marine to my game.
Pro tip; put green stuff in boiling hot water until it's super soft, take it out and press it, and then dunk the entire press into cold water.
As amazing as all of this is (and it really, really is!!!), your faux commercial for the infinite space marines was my favorite part!
Aves Apoxie Sculpt would be good to try, but would suggest letting the polymer clays cured for an hour or 2 before de;molding them
After having watched several OOAK doll making videos with the rest of my household "I didn't have X so I made one out Apoxie Sculpt" is a regular meme phrase in my house.
"Squeezing out Space Marines", sounds like something an Iron Warrior would say about Daemobculaba
you painting skills are so good you could literally paint a rock to look like a legit space marine and it would totes look like a legit space marine.
Those marines look amazing. Also love the look of Necromolds! Might have to get that for games nights. Such a cool idea to mold and mod your character
That commercial killed me. Fantastic video!
Cheers bud :D
Awesome video. They look very cool. Really fun to learn about this. The candles could be used as props. Video editing is fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Production values on this video is out of the park! 👏 thanks for all your energy and fun ideas every time!
I think mixing Milliput and Greenstuff might work well... Milliput is much softer than greenstuff and when you mix them you get something that has properties from both materials. Then perhaps letting them cure inside the mould for an hour or two (but not until they are completely solid) before trying to get them out. If I had a 3d-printer or a 3d printer I would try this. I use this mix whenever I use blue stuff moulds and it works really well (compared to only using greenstuff or miliput)
Cures rock hard in the end as well...
Agree milliput and green stuff is a good mix for two part mould squishing
This is just... So much fun. thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@roguehobbies hard not to! Had some of my favourite things. Like clay being smooshed and paint getting used.
The commercial was the funniest thing I've seen a good while. Also the photo bombed dreadnaught made me spit my drink out lol. I'm definitely going to try these at home
When you made the candle space marine I thinked that your next step was to make a "lost wax" casting with bronze or another melted metal like the traditional sculpture method. Great video, very fun! ❤🎉
I realy like the video 🙂
Try talcum powder or vaseline lip balm as a demoulding realase agent depending of what kind of clay you use, talcum works great for fimo.
Cooking oil spray works for me, mainly because I don’t own the other two lol
Cornflour?
Actual industrial mould release is pretty cheap, you can get a full tin of it for less than the price of a couple of space marines.....
That's so cool! It's like rebirthing Rogue Trader with clay and I'm all here for it!
I'm six minutes in and I have to say, this video is a cinematic masterpiece. Thank you for being such an entertaining entertainer. Truly.
You are goofy
Was merely curious to see the results from just the title... Stuck around for the whole video because this was super entertaining. Sub earned :D
Glad you enjoyed!
I love how this can be used for getting young new painters into the hobby without spending a fortune on fancy new models but most of all I love how the ex GW employee is promoting the recasting of GW products they must have really done the a number on you when you found a reason to leave (if you left by your own choice)
There's a reason why GW's newer painting videos only feature the artists hands and not their faces.
Louise, your personality and production value is a 9.5/10 ⭐
"She took the kids." This line may have been enough to make me subscribe to the channel.
Adorable! And the play-doh / sculpty minis are cute too.
The great thing about RH is how much your personality and artistic approach are on display with the projects. They're fun, colorful, quirky, and unique. Keep up the great work and direction the channel is going.
Love youre energy. You're just what this hobby needs. Thanks for being awesome
Thank you I try 🥹
Your painting skills are phenomenal, you need to do more painting videos/tutorials! 😮😁
Thank you!
Have the little box for old school termies and genestealers and you can make yourself an adorable version of Space Hulk.
This was such a blast to watch, and you made those goofy little guys look really good.
Love these play doh marines! Gotta get my hands on one of those press molds!
I think the biggest thing that stands out to me about this process is how the space marines aren't GW space marines and in no way impacting anything they do.
It's almost as if you just found a fun thing to play with and are having fun with it.
Watching this fun video about play-doh space marines has reinvigorated my enjoyment of all things whimsical and fun!
Thank you, kind lady, for making a video just because it's a fun thing to do.
So after the first couple minutes I was like ooooo, new Warhammer game mode idea: that box is a canon mechanic, some kind of cloning vat or whatever, and part of your struggle to win is trying to outcompete your opponent in unit production... and then behold, Necromolds did it xD
8:15 perhaps you could spray vegetable oil or something on the inside of the mold first to make it more non-stick
INCREDIBLE. Best looking Marines I've seen since I was 8 years old. Not being ironic. I've just looked online and the designer also has a killer looking Space Ork STL mold. So good.
I'm lucky enough to own a copy of Necromolds (I found a used copy fairly locally in Nottingham last year) and it's a blast.
I love these little guys. Also. I love the dreadnaught!!! ❤
Great video! Super informative and interesting the whole way through. I also really like the concept of the unit boxes. Imagine playing a TTRPG where at the start of the session the DM lines up a series of boxes that all the players can see. Those will be the mystery encounters for the session. I don't know what would be more intimidating, having all of the boxes be similar in size and then having a massive one at the end of the line, or pulling out a massive one later in the session when the party enters a more dangerous area. The DM could even take out the party by having a big unit box but when opened it would actually be a super small press-zone, like for a mouse.
I love this channel! Awesome video and the marine looks INCREDIBLE!
I spend an hour or two every night hunting eBay for new oldhammer stuff 😂
Totally loving this. Need all the moulds. I think they are substantially transformed!
This video was excellent! The Space Marine infomercial was genius. Your sense of humor and editing style is 👍
Love your content! Great work. You got a new sub/fan!
Thanks and welcome 😁
Your painting skills are amazing! You turned a frog into a prince ❤
Mix milliput with green stuff to make it softer. Clamp and leave to harden. It’ll work. Hilarious and fun video. Great editing and great painting
Milliput/green stuff mix is phenomenal stuff. There's times you'd prefer one or the other, but for general use it's brilliant
That or just Milliput are definitely worth trying!
Spraying the mould with cooking oil before hand makes the green stuff mini literally fall out of the mould when you open it. I’ve done this countless times with high elf horse tails, because buying 2nd HE horses never come with tails haha
I like how you ended up with scale creep, that was a funny added bonus. I honestly thought this'll be pants but no, professionally painted makes everything look good. This gadget wouldnt have supplied my friend with an army when he was little, he'd have just eaten his playdoh marines, he had a taste for forbidden foods .. then grew up to resemble an ogre, the signs were there all along.
Great to see this channel grow so fast
So glad you showed off the candle marine 👍🏻I'm going to try making one with sprue goo 😅
Absolutely awesome video!
The commercial/domestic despair was an immediate sub.
Just a thought, my wife has the same issue of trying to get cake fondant out of moulds too. A quick blast of cake release spray helps A LOT with this and doesn’t deform the model. 👍
The Playdoh dreadnought had me in stitches 😂😂😂😂
He's best boy
Next you should paint the box! :D
You remind me so much of one of my friends! Everything down to your laugh and smile.
The two of you must be long lost twins!
Love your channel. Subbed!
love your video editing and your videos in genaral. keep up the good work! :)
