I've been tempted by it for a while, especially some of the minis that I might grab for other things because, well, dinosaurs... The issue is that everything with the game seems to point for more verticality and water for major parts with a lot of investment in things that I don't know if I can easily reuse in my more medieval and fantasy stuff
Amazing finish! The street layout reminds me of _Back to the Future_ , even though it's actually totally different. I haven't yet played a game on such a well made board, but how does playing multiple games on a board which has fixed terrain differ from playing on a board which has moveable terrain? Does it affect narrative play: types of scenarios or objectives that can be played? Does it become less or more interesting to play over time? Or does the convenience of having a board with fixed terrain outweigh the hassle of setting up scenery on boards which have moveable terrain?
Everyone has different opinions on that tbf. For objective based stuff like 40K etc, I tend to stick with scatter terrain mostly. For more narrative stuff, like drowned earth, I’d rather have a more immersive setting, if that makes sense
Your take on this is a Grand Day Out™. Watching Luke's vid it was more like you were being harried by the RSM for the entire build ;-) Cracking work, that board is fantastic. Cheers!
Quick suggestion for eliminating that flat grey look. Most people tend to paint their buildings, roads, etc with a grey colour. Try this ratio of colours instead: White - 10 parts Green - 2, 3, or 4 parts (to suit) Gray - 2 or 3 parts (to suit) Cream - 2 parts Red - 1 part Brown - 1 part Just varying the proportions of each colour will give you a huge palette to work from. Keep up the great work!
Board turned out great! Watching Luke's vid I couldn't help but noticed that his teachings was left out^^ Mind me asking where the building stl's are from?
Thanks very much! Lukes help was cut just so the two videos were different enough. He's the terrain expert so felt right that he would give advice and tuition and my own video would focus on my experience making my first board. The STL files are from Corvus Games Terrain
@@ThePickleJar Thanks for the url! Yes, I understod why it was cut. I just happened to watch Lukes video first and found it funny. :) Both videos were great! Can't wait to see what else you guys cook up!
Just popped over after watching the other video on Luke's channel. You guys did a lovely job, really enjoyed watching you work together on this. I haven't been around for a spell, but bloody hell, Pickle using Oils! Welcome to the dark side mate... The GrimDark side ;D Take care
i got a Flock It static grass generator. i put pin in glue and attach croc clip, than apply grass. any that misses gets picked back up by the static and rebonds with the glue. no waste. no shocks either.
its great to see the board build from two completly different perspectives. thank you for sharing this experience with us. its a great, first board. Hope you build more in the future. but enjoy this one first.
Fantastic video, I appreciate seeing the process and you talking openly about concerns you had but also how you tackled them, reassures complete n00bs like myself that it will turn out okay in the end lol
@@ThePickleJar I know all too well what that feeling can be like, I went through something similar before I started painting miniatures; thinking that I was nowhere near ready to do it, when the only way to be ready to start painting miniatures is to just start painting them and learn as you go.
This looks so good, and you should be proud. I don't have all the tools that you do, but this video makes me want to look at attempting something similar myself, or at least research it more to see if I can.
Tbf, after the framework had been done (which Luke did off camera) the biggest tool I used was a Stanley knife. I was shocked at how “low tech” the process was.
Looks amazing. I'm currently trying to find time to build my first very small, single model, diorama. Have loads of ideas and perfect picture in my mind of how it should look, just hoping it goes as smoothly as yours seemed to.
@@ThePickleJar It looks both really easy and hugely scarily hard at the same time. I'm currently stuck trying to stop a sticking out cliff edge looking like the edge of a piece of corrugated cardboard.
Wow table looks amazing loved both perspective of the 2 of you making the video. I'm sure you're going to have a blast playing games on that great work.
Sorry for the delayed response! I built the frame work myself. Heres the link for the STL files corvusgamesterrain.com/collections/modern-urban-post-apocalyptic
Great board dude, lived the overgrown plants bit looked really good especially the ones that wrapped around the lampposts, gave me jumanji (original) vibes
Step 1 decide to build a gaming table, step 2 ask Luke for help, step 3 get bullied by Luke, step 4 build board while also getting bullied by Luke, step 5 marvel in the glorious board you have created whilst getting bullied by Luke, step 6 go back to work whilst getting bullied by Luke 😁
may i ask a question ? i have learned from luke's video's and practiced and got the right tools to make boards. i got the skills, but what do i do with them ? i got models painted and un-painted, sci fi and fantasy. Any advice would be usefull. i am not as good as luke from geek gaming, but i have learned a lot from him. i live in the midlands, stafford area. i seem to be stuck, at a stand still. any advice ?
Best advice is to pick one project and work it until it’s done. Don’t rush or skip corners. Just get one thing finished and then that should carry you through to more projects. Good luck!
@@ThePickleJar i started many years ago. i got models at bargin prices. painted 1000's of them, got as many to paint. no room to even display them. it might be the weather, i am just in a rut. can't find the motivation at the moment. when i get back to the hobby, mini diaramas is what i need to do. i learned the skills and got the tools. not for proffit, just cause i like making stuff, being creative. you are lucky to have good mates in your work hobby.
i have been electroctucted good, a few times. that might shock you but it wont hurt you. electric shocks are not that bad, they are a shock for a second or two. then its over.
Be sure to check out The Drowned Earth here for some amazing models and a truly dynamic and immersive game system: thedrownedearth.com/

@@AzraelThanatos Its a great game and you can always play in non water areas - the Highlands might not have flooded :-)

@@ThePickleJar Yes it makes sense. I can certainly see how having a fixed terrain board can give a more tailored and immersive experience.
I like that your video is more of a how to make the table and Luke's is basically a video on how to abuse Josh while he builds a table :D
hahahaha
Wow, fantastic looking table. Great use of the Corvus buildings too.
Fantastic kits, happy to use them!

Great video man - really inspirational and something I’m so keen to try for myself, and thanks for having me over to play on it!
The pleasure was all mine dude, need a rematch when you're free!
@@ThePickleJar let’s get to grip with the rules and do a livestream!
Board turned out great!

Hahaha, my eyes have been opened to the wonders of oil paint! Cheers for the support bud :)
Great job on your first board. I really like the Drowned Earth miniature line, so can’t wait to see what you do with them.
They're so nice! I've been painting them up on livestreams, the dinosaurs are superb!
Looks amazing. You missed some of Luke's very encouraging words.......ha ha ha....I saw his video first....look forward to seeing more
hahaha, cheers :)
Absolutely amazing dude! That is a fantastic board! Love it!!
Thanks buddy!
The board came out really nice congrats! I’m super jelly
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job Josh! The roads look spot on and I love those 3D printed buildings. Really like the look of the Drowned earth game too
Cheers mate. It's such a fun game, very cinematic

That looks amazing man! Think I'm gonna have to try a board build once we move and I have somewhere to put it 🤔 😅
This is mint, maaaaaate. Well done!
Thanks muchly me old cocker
its great to see the board build from two completly different perspectives.
thank you for sharing this experience with us.
its a great, first board. Hope you build more in the future.
but enjoy this one first.
Defo will be building more, now I've got the bug! Thanks for the support :)
Absolutely fantastic! But too quote one Peter Gronfeldt(hope I spelled that correctly, minus the accents) “nitrile gloves, man!!”
hahaha, I even got the gloves out too, just forgot to put them on!
Terrain crafter Pickle. Noice! And it turned out a treat. Well done
They call me Josh the terrain guy now haha
Excellent looking board Josh
Thanks very much, I'm very happy with it :)
Fantastic video, I appreciate seeing the process and you talking openly about concerns you had but also how you tackled them, reassures complete n00bs like myself that it will turn out okay in the end lol
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video. Was a blast to do and I'm just gutted I didn't feel up to it sooner.

Thanks very much!
Absolutely incredible first terrine board build Josh
Cheers buddy, glad you like it :)
Way to go josh,like is a legend for helping you,you've done some brilliant work
Thanks very much. Gotta be some perks to the job eh?
Love the idea of spraying the plants
Just helps them blend in with the rest of the board
This turned out so well!
Thanks very much :)
Great work on the board
Thanks very much :)

Great effort man - the board came out great! Looking forward to seeing what other boards you do in the future :)
Now I've done one, I'm kinda hooked haha
@@ThePickleJar good job you have plenty of space and materials on hand now 😁
Wow table looks amazing loved both perspective of the 2 of you making the video. I'm sure you're going to have a blast playing games on that great work.
Really looking forward to playing more Drowned Earth, rule set is very fun!
A couple questions: Did you build the frame for the board or buy pre-built? And do you have a link for the terrain STL's?
Sorry for the delayed response! I built the frame work myself. Heres the link for the STL files corvusgamesterrain.com/collections/modern-urban-post-apocalyptic
Great board dude, lived the overgrown plants bit looked really good especially the ones that wrapped around the lampposts, gave me jumanji (original) vibes
Yeah that's kinda the look I was aiming for. Sort of like Jungle takes over town.
Looks great!
Thanks!
Did you guys build the frame or was that an off the shelf purchase?
Luke built the frame for me (he didn't trust me with the drill). If you check out his WW2 board build, he explains how he builds his board framework.
Looks like you’ve been building these for years mate. For a first attempt that is unbelievably good. Great work & content as always. 👍🙂
Thanks very much buddy :)
Looks superb mate, really cracking job 😃👍🏼
Thanks man, much appreciated
Looks awesome
Cheers dude!
Good stuff, how long did it take from start to finish?
This took us 3 evenings after work, so maybe 12 hours. That's not including drying time obviously as we left it overnight for the sealant and resin.
Looks great mate. Can't wait to see what you do next! 🤘😎🔥
Cheers bud
Step 1 decide to build a gaming table, step 2 ask Luke for help, step 3 get bullied by Luke, step 4 build board while also getting bullied by Luke, step 5 marvel in the glorious board you have created whilst getting bullied by Luke, step 6 go back to work whilst getting bullied by Luke 😁
That's my recipe for success hahaha
Fun build. Thank!!!
Thanks very much :)
Awesome!!
Where is this and how do I get a key?
Hahahaha
may i ask a question ?
