@earlgrey2130
@earlgrey2130 3 года назад
I think it's a sad state of affairs that people paint insanely beautiful models nowadays, but play on a generic battlemat with a few pieces of generic terrain that does nothing but block line of sight. Which is ironic, since the paintjob on your models may look cool, but the models are only a small percentage of the table. Most of what you see is terrain. So it has a much bigger impact on immersion and the visuals. And more importantly: The terrain is what shapes and defines the gameplay too! The game is so much more fun if you have multiple levels to fight on, makes you use all the movement rules, gives varying cover, has interesting lines of fire, forces or restricts movement.. Imagine a video game where the player models are beautifully textured, but the levels are just a big empty room with a few boxes or walls. Nobody would play that. The levels are what makes or breaks gameplay. I never understood why terrain isn't the #1 focus of the warhammer hobby.

Wow. That part where you cut hundreds of slices horizontally into the XPS and then chipped off the pieces was brilliant. I had not seen that technique for making rock face before, I'm so stealing that, man, hahah. Usually it's just the "cut a v shape and pull a chunk out" bit with the XPS rocks but this one's a real eye-opener with the low-effort and great results. Great terrain, too. I hope you're getting some Gorkamorka action on that, too

​@@EricsHobbyWorkshop 100% agree! Those are some of the best foam rock formations I've seen on RU-vid (or even from manufacturers like Gamemat.eu or Gale Force 9). Thanks for showing that great technique for making them (excluding the tribute to Khorne). I was thinking of trying to make some myself instead of buying some and now, after finding this video, I'm convinced DYI is the way to go. :)

Like for Diggas in the intro :D Ive also done a caulking mat, spread on caulk one tube at a time then sand before it dried, i think i used 4 tubes for my 6x4. Painted with a watered down mix of a dark brown acrylic crafts paint and PVA. Then drybrushed with a reddish brown, yellow ochre and a lighter gray. Applied a "wash" of black/brown and PVA. Then applied multiple layers of watered down PVA to make absolutely sure no sand will come off and to protect the paint. Mixing it all in like you did is probably more durable and with paint inside the caulk i think any cracks would be near invisible, i test bent a corner on mine and while it did get a bright crack it isnt visible when the mat is laying flat. Also did some stone arches and standing stones but i built a hot wire cutter for shaping them, in the end i think the surface texture you got using a knife looks better than the ones i did. Amazing work!
