This is BY FAR the best video yet. I must steal/borrow these ideas for my own Etruscan/Maltese underworld terrain project. The only changes I would make would be 1) transition the brown color to a greener shade as you go down towards the floor, and 2) give everything a matte spray to get rid of the sheen of the cured texture paint. Other than those two points, this build is absolutely superb! Thanks so much.
The loculi / alcoves came out great. And that texture paste recipe will come in handy for an upcoming project...... You know while down there, a skeleton even got in on the act. He told me a joke, it was quite humerus....
Great video John! The texture paste add a realistic look to the walls and those skeletons are just totally awesome. Adding a couple traps and treasures from previous videos would really give anyones players a great challenge and fun experience!
This is a great project and I'm looking forward to the next one. I'm sure the catacombs could use a cave rat, but then again, your current residents could easily have consumed him for lunch. That texture paste is excellent and looks dynamite just as it is!
Once again you smashed this one out of the park! Love the texture paste you made…..and using pastels is a great way to add another level of texture to the build. Really looking forward to the last vid of this series! I know a great piece of scatter terrain that would be perfect for the catacombs….😉
are we gonna see a giant skeletal swarm or something in the next video? Your catacombs made me think of Skyrim a bit. Great work as usual! maybe go with 'brown tinted water'? but we know what you mean!
The Catacomb walls really add a lot to Catacomb tiles from last week! They more than double the creepiness factor and really give an added dimension to the whole build! I will definitely use your texturing paste in the near future! Does the baking soda add any strength to the mod podge strengthing effect on the styrofoam? Now I can't wait to see the third installment! To me, the scariest aspect of catacombs is the threat of getting lost in them! You might think of adding that in to your game when you play! Two thumbs up John! Awesome!
*_Wow this was great! This video didn't show up in my YT feed on the 25th, and I didn't see it existed before today. Do you plan on making it REALLY large, maybe 4-6X6-8feet?_* *_I wonder, do you have a plan of making a vast city, with many levels.....ohmy...._*
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT *_I've had my coffee now. What could work is a pole fastened to the floor and celling, with each level being on it's own board(Top layer is the city on one board, next board is the man-made dungeons, then sewers, then grottos,)being on it's own "slice", that you can move away as the brave adventurers go down, down, down into the deeps. It won't be too heavy as it's all XPS, but it needs to be strong, so the frame might need to be made of metal, I think. Also, you'll need A LOT OF ROOM for this, haha._* *_It would be easier to just have each level on a board that you lift and insert into a gaming table, then remove as the party goes down into the deeps._* *_Or, just do what Ryan Devoto did in his basement._* (Search: Ryan Devoto+D&D Fantasy Diorama) *_Maybe my coffee-infused idea would work best as a 10mm project._*
Those skeletons were a really nice touch, but man, I am impressed with the small battery packs and LED lights. What are the battery packs / sizes you used?
Your catacomb walls and tiles looked nice, but mine were chicken-scratched out with black wet-erase marker on a plain tan battle mat. So whose was better?
Thank you Patrick, the baking soda is extremely cheap and the consistency is much finer than sand. I do add a bit of sand to the mix as well to change it up slightly.
