40k Terrain from ONLY CARDBOARD! - Warhammer 40,000 Necromunda Kill Team Industrial Tutorial 

I've never seen something so free-form yet so precise.

So I was watching the beginning of this video, and said "there's no way that is all cardboard".... holy cow!! it is only cardboard! Great job.

"There's no way you made this out of only-- oh wow."

18:40 "I cheeto-blast my entire project here"- hahahahahhaahah

Dude, you fuckin killed it with this. I don't even want to think about the time investment. I almost dont like the video because you've shamed me so thoroughly. When you said what the challenge was I honestly figured you had cut some corners and still used those styrene stairs and some greebles... Here I am trying to work up the gumption to work on my table while I've got a hoard of crafting supplies, bits, 3d printed greebles, and a die cutter. Meanwhile you go and build something indistinguishable from your other builds with just cardboard. It was so unexpected I'm just staggered. I think there are only a few hobby youtubers than bring as much a combination of skill AND effort to their builds as you do. Fuckin well done man and regardless of how the facebook thing goes I hope you're proud of this one because to me you nailed it.

This has to be the most inspirational hobby project on youtube.

the girders are a game-changer. So simple and so effective.

This is a great build (and video)....reading the comments made me realize I was right about your accent. I was always confused by your mentions of NY when I was sure you sounded like you were from Ontario!

14:00 This is my favourite part. By recessing that detail box you really sell the depth and scale of this structure. Now I can't un-see the roof as a thick, pipe-laden metal slab. Great work.

This was beautiful mate!

Years later this remains one of my favourite videos you have ever done. I keep coming back to it for reference.

This is witchcraft. Best crafting video i ever seen

Your creativity is mindblowing.

You are one, if not the best scratch builder on RU-vid. I love low-cost scratch builds. This is excellent! Thank You!

Wow. That is really impressive. Nice to see that inexpensive materials can look absolutely amazing when a lot of skill and effort is applied.

Fantastic job Eric. That's the kind of tutorial which help the community to see that's you don't need a ton a supply or money to build something great!!

I see something like this and looks at my cardboard structures and just think "heck". I think what really sets yours a league apart are all the small parts and perfect cuts. I see now the value in precise measurements.

I really love that Eric started adding more colour to his builds! Really love how they look!

Was pulled in by the cool thumbnail. was sold by the refferance to wylock. Love the work dude

As somebody who used to be heavily into papercraft some years ago i love this build in so damn many levels! Every terrain builder should watch this even if they never plan on doing anything on these lines :D The only thing i'd change if i ever decided to make something like this for me (and i had the storage space, right now i'm instead in need to free up a lot of it), would be to give it a different, cleaner, less super-rusty paintjob, because the rest looks so damn professional that i honestly can find no fault at all, there's commercial terrain that doesn't look this good!

It takes unbelievable talent to see so much potential when you look at an old cereal box!

The non-slip grip on the steel ruler is a cool idea. The terrain piece is amazing.

This is amazing! Came here from the painting phase interview. I'm returning to the hobby after like 15 years. When I was a kid I always loved people's terrain craft projects, but never really did anything proper myself. This is inspiring me to try it out!

Eric, man, this is on another level. Best build video so far, and that's saying a lot! Everything you do is great but you still manage to get better every time, even your editing is getting really good! At the end with the lazy susan shot, the timing of the zoom and the speed-up with the music hit was perfect! As far as the build, man, where to start. A lot of build videos I can pay half-attention to and get everything they're doing, but literally you have so much information coming through so seamlessly all the time, I can't help but stay rapt. I think with a build like this especially, but even just when scratch-building generally, being able to have time-savers is absolutely critical, not only because time is limited, but it's easy to get frustrated when things take forever, or don't go together well, so having tricks to make a great bit quickly really helps re-energize, and I think that the railing with the hole punch and the q-tips was an absolute winner as far as that goes. I really like your attention to depth and dimensionality, with the recessed door, the vent & pipe box sub-assemblies, and the support girders. Every piece you make always looks plausible, like it's not just built as a gaming terrain piece, but hints strongly at initial function, as well as a story of usage after the fact. Anyway sorry for casting Wall of Text but in summary, 10/10 grand slam! Keep up the good work!

Your projects keep getting better and better. I found this episode particularly inspiring though. Getting the results you do from household items and a stack of chipboard is absolutely top quality. A+ planning went into this and it shows. As always, looking forward to the next one!

when people ask me where I get my ideas ad inspiration from I tell them to go and check guys like yourself out. to say this is all cardboard it's stunning well done Great build

Eric is the best at rust on RU-vid.

You just showed me, with enough time given we couldnt set a big enough challenge. This was mindblowing in its creativity and resourcefulness.

Awesome piece of terrain sir. Amazing that it's just paper! You need to do a video showing us a full table setup sometime with all your custom pieces. Take care!

This is truly some insane, next-level creativity. Truly inspirational! Great vids.

I love those futuristic sliding doors. Some day, people will be kicking themselves for throwing away pocket doors from old buildings. This is awesome, and I like how you just roll with whatever comes up, like covering that cylinder.

Wow, when you brought out the toothbrush and started scrubbing that masking paint off to create the chipping effect... I was blown away. I have never even thought to do something like that, and it turned out to look so incredible! Got yourself a new subscriber in me, awesome stuff!

Man, consider my hat well and truly doffed. Looks so damn awesome.

You are an artist in every sense of the word. Amazing!

Every video you make, and every build you create just seems to get better and better. This was an obvious time-sink, but the results are just spectacular. Well done, mate.

I’ve watched all your videos and this by far is the best.this really captures the dark underhive vibe.keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your talent with us.

This is your best build yet, totally smashed it and looks incredible =)

Another solid build from a solid guy! Keep the builds coming Eric!

This is INCREDIBLE! man so many amazing ideas! just WOW! Bravo

This is still by far one of my favorite build videos. It literally served as the inspiration point for me to start collecting junk around my house for some builds of my own. I cannot thank you enough, when my son is older, I should have enough terrain for endless Slum wars :D

Fantastic looking project Eric! As many have already commented, the attention to detail and creative use of materials is really inspiring. My particular favourite parts are the recessed details, it adds a whole extra dimension to the build IMO

Eric knocking it out of the park again! I hope you have a lot of storage space for your amazing builds.

That.. Looks absolutely phenomenal. I've been itching to make a big central line-of-sight blocking building for 9th edition 40k and this is inspiring. Thank you!

I’ve just been deep-diving all of your videos the last couple days. I have so many boxes from my last move and this is definitely the best damn terrain tutorial out there.

Crazy good project! Looking at the old thumbnail I would not have guessed it is all cardboard!

Dawm Eric, this terrain is awesome. I cant get enough from this Videos. Please more!!!!!!!

Brilliant! Awesome! The Effort and the outcome ratio is insane! Well done

Dude. This is above and beyond. Really incredible work.

This is a little masterclass, thank you for sharing it you magnificent bastard

Una vez más, un trabajo increible. Fácil de hacer, materiales económicos y un resultado espectacular.

You just gave me a TON of ideas! THANK YOU! :D You really killed this industrial terrain! 💜 looks AMAZING! :D

Hands down the best scratch built terrain video I have ever seen. The creativity in this piece is amazing.

Blue yeti, stepping up in the production value! Nicely done!

Another great master piece!! If you ever get into Star Wars Legion I'd love to see what kind of terrain youll do! I truly am a fan of your work!

So rad! I love that little streetlight LED too!

As Mr Tracy so eloquently put it, "You f-ing killed it!" This is an awesome piece of terrain.

I feel like this is the kind of project that would benefit grratly from some LED lights, nonetheless, a great build Eric, and I hope you won the contest!

Hey Eric, been subscriber for awhile, and love the vids. Alene's tacky glue is all I ever use personally, and IMO it's much better than Elmer's white glue. It's tackiness helps keep mess down, isn't too runny, and has been sucked right up by foam board and especially chip board. So I say use it up, bud! 💪

What an absolutely Incredible build !!! Amazing work

Really nice work Eric! This is easily as impressive as the work of any of the other gaming crafters on RU-vid. Really nice looking, hugely inventive, meticulously detailed and showing a lovely balance between plausibility, aesthetics and play-ability. And best of all it's a really cheap build that anyone could have a go at. Kudos.

Wow. You nailed it. You nailed it hard. I am playing Tabletop Games since Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition. I watch all them RU-vidrs: Wyloch, Tabletop Engineer, Black Magic Craft, Terrain Tutor, ... I have seen lots of stuff in my time but what you did here... AWESOME! This is just awesome. How long did that take you?!

"Cheeto-blast" is now my favorite term... :)

That's the way you roll ... excellent work. Thank you for detailing the challenge, and your work to achieve a solid entry.

Eric, fantastic job man! This video gave me a ton of insight in how to create things like railing and stairs. Love it! Thank you for sharing your creativity and talents.

This is astounding. It's like the early "how to make wargames terrain" book projects I started with as a kid grew up with a serious glow up! Inspiring stuff. I'm curious, do you have plans (well, let's be real; ideas) for all that foil now that you've separated it from the roll?

Now I can show my wife why I've been saving cereal boxes and tp tubes for 12 years...

Amazing as always! I love all your builds. Your skill is out of this world.

This was the first video of yours I watched and I was immediately hooked. I've watched all your videos now and they're all so great. Not only are you such an inspirational scratch crafter but you're also a super kind person. Thank you for making such great content

Nah man that’s the rust map from MW2 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Loved this one. Everything custom built with chipboard was great!

Your builds always make me want to push more with my projects. Great piece as always

Love watching these while doing my own stuff. Gets me in the zone.

Excellent work! Amazing that this is made from cardboard, looks really crisp and love the weathering.

Eric it is refreshing to watch every video you share with us. Keep up the great job!

SO much fun to watch this. I used to build a lot of terrain years ago but not done any for a long time. This has inspired me to get back into it. THanks!

You can actually create a fluffy sand-like substance by sanding the chipboard. Just something that crossed my mind when you were doing the sand.

Absolute wonderful craftsmanship. An amazing piece.

One of the most amazing crafting videos I have seen for what it is made from.

That box with pipes in is inspired, recently found your channel and it has kicked my terrain building butt into action again. Thank you

This video is absolutely awesome. I've always built terrain out of cardboard i've had lying around and i never realized just how far i could take it before i saw your video! incredibly inspirational, love the video so much

DUDE! You are extremly talented!! I love your vids!

OMG!!!! You do It again. That is the BEST crafting proyect I have never seen. Great Job

Inspirational build! So many good tips and creative use of materials here. Thanks for another amazing tutorial! Chipboard is so good as the density makes very sturdy builds, very cool how you combined it with other materials for unique effects! The recessed tubing additions with the cutouts really sold the effect! Can't wait to try out some of the techniques on display!

Killer piece of terrain! Loads of great skills and tips that can be used in any project.

Excellent build. Thanks for sharing your techniques.

Excellent work, again you nail it!!!!! Great work

It looks great! Thanks for sharing this.

Sweet tutorial! I'm glad this came up in my feed. I am definitely subscribing.

This was so dope, thanks for the video. Really helpful for my thesis film, thank you so much. Keep it up dude!!

I wanted to say welcome to the world of crafting with all kinds of cardboard. Most of us moms who make doll house have been working with this stuff for years. I have work with cardboard all the stuff u used, plus foam board. It’s nice too! But nice job. It’s very nice 👍

This is so good! And you've given me some great ideas. Thanks!!

Perhaps the best terrain build I've seen Great work

Such an awesome job & great vid! I love your content man, thank you so much for inspiring us all :)

this is so satisfying to watch and an amazing piece too, awesome

Absolutely fantastic job, Eric! Your channel is an inspiration to aspiring terrain builders (like me). I'm just getting started and ordered a bunch of MDF kits, but will be using channels like yours to embellish and make them much more unique. This video in particular is great because it shows you don't need plastic or the fancy styrenes (and all the gear to go with it) to get great results. Great results can be had with just some cardboard, PVA, paint, and sand! I'd love to see more cardboard-only Necromunda builds, if you ever fancy doing some more.

so awesome. i love the light at the end

maaaaaan, imma bout to spend so much of my time trying to get something even close to this. Great work man! looks sick

This is so inspiring, knowing that this epic terrain can be built with only cardboard is immense! Thank you in bunches!

I just discovered your Channel, and i gotta say your stuff is so cool too see. Thank you!

Hands down one of the best hobby tutorial I have ever seen. I have to make something like this soon.
