One Terrain for All Games - Brutal Cities [MDF] 

Genuinely love the colours you used for your gorgeous scratch builds! It's a pleasure to collaborate Alex, can't wait to see where you will take this project!

"Is that a church?" "No, it's a one bedroom apartment for a Stormcast." Best line of the video.

Why is it every video you show me this picturesque place on Earth you live in? No matter the time of year it is a beauty to behold.

Ahh, the hated Australia Post logo. Also brutalism, perfect stylistic match for 40k. What's more grim and dark than a 60s council flat

As an Aussie I'm always looking for ways to support my local businesses, you've done such a good job at advertising I'll be buying some of Ryans stuff tonight. Excellent video. Goodbye wallet.

love the Brutalist terrain. Almost look like movie miniatures.

Thanks for sharing Brutal Cities' work. It's wonderful, well-designed stuff, and you can see there's someone with an education of architecture and possibly design behind it. Great stuff.

"I could work on the studio but it's full of minis". Your humor resonates deeply in my very ironic mind.

Found Brutal Cities a couple days ago and liked their sruff. When I looked their blueprints my exact though was that it was made by an actual architect. Yeap, indeed.

I'm looking forward to the episode about how you got carried away adding 3d printed greebles all over your mdf terrain

I don't NEED a huge set of brutalist MDF terrain... but now I WANT one. I love the style of these!

Love seeing our local postal service on your channel.

Brutal cities is an AMAZING set of terrain. Light, sturdy, and their themes are fricken awesome.

As much as I love the Brutal Cities stuff, I just don't think it's worth it to pay the shipping all the way from Australia, and then all the extra VAT on top of it. It sucks, but I do hope that they sort out EU distribution at some point in the future. From what I can tell the line is already positioning itself as a premium product based on the price compared with other MDF companies, so I hope someday it's something they can do.

Nice to see Brutal Cities getting some love. I've got a primed 3 story Cabbage Palms building that's been waiting for me to paint it for a while. This is just the inspiration I needed.

3:43 Every hobbying dad feels this pain!

Bored at work? 52 miniatures provides! :D

Very much looking forward to your new project!

The choice of brutalist architecture for this purpose is kinda genius; brutalism gives zero shits if you like it, it just is. Regardless of time, setting, or potential chaos magic flying about the place

These buildings are perfect examples of brutalist design, and yes, very pleasing to the eye. It is great you showcased Ryan's talented work and hope it translates to more business for him.

One city to rule them all!

Once more I really liked the shots, feel and palpable love for the hobby portrayed in this video. Lokking forward to the next video in your quest =)

this Brutal Cities stuff looks mint . and its from a fellow aussie to boot 10/10

Brutal Cities do great terrain. I can’t recommend them enough.

"glued upside down"....that never happens. Great vid Alex! I can't wait to see where this takes you.

I am very excited for this series.

Love absolutely everything about this video!

I love the Brutal Cities vibe!

I love you, miniature painting G-man

Great, great stuff. I can see myself spending Friday night surfing through and "adding to cart." My Stargrave crew is itching to fight over some of those buildings.

Can not wait to see the next upcoming videos 😀

These look really great! And then..."Australia". *cries in Canadian* (so far away)

good news humanity, we made it. We had finally found a good use for brutalist architecture. A table top miniature gaming.

Knights of Dice range of club boxes are also a great place to start for a city.

Great content. Here's to the beginning of a delightfully long playlist on MDF builds then.

Wait, You play games on your cities :O Cool! I do love Brutal Cities, want more for my city !

Looking forward to see where this goes, the terrain looks as so I can't wait to see what you do with it

Oh my word these are beautiful and the possibilities! Thank you for the introduction!

You went full on Dr. Strange with your cottages! Great Video, I’m off to Brutal Cities now.

Every time you put out a video its a current issue I am facing! These are perfect for 40k and Gundam displays!

Such a beautiful shot, narrated video. Love the quality and the terrain kits, bravo! Can't wait to watch it come to life

Very inspirational, these look perfect both aesthetically and practically for so many different modern and future games. Looking forward to seeing your completed builds.

I knew 5 minutes in that I will spend the next while binge watching your channel. I love the way you narrate, it's not only i formative but lyrical and gently humerous. Top stuff.

This should be most excellent. I agree, MDF terrain is a wonderful blank canvas in the shape of a building and benefits greatly from some bits and techniques thoughtfully applied. Cheers!

I've spent the whole day looking for a terrain I could use for every type of game, and you post this video! Thanks for reading my mind and producing it in just a few hours! :D

Ryan's Brutal Cities terrain is the best Ive ever seen! His attention to detail & outstanding customer service surpasses any other company I have ever dealt with. I cannot recommend them enough. I would also point out that I bought a couple of items from their website some time ago. One was for me & one was for my mother who just liked the Brutalist aesthetic & asked me to build one for her just to display in her home. The other I bought to use "in-game". Thanks for the great video showcasing these wonderful products!

You have a beautiful edit style, super watchable content. Just beautiful

Outstanding content. Thank you!

This is a hobby public service. "Most" players like a variety of games and terrain is such an investment in time and space. I play a fair bit of 40k but one can only have so many skulls on their terrain before it is unusable for something like Infinity, Malifaux, The Walking Dead, Bolt Action or Ninja Turtles. I thought for a time I would be stuck with generic stone ruins for my main terrain. Glad you are helping get this "niche" market addressed. Fantastic video. I would suggest that old scratched CD's make an excellent coaster.

Wonderful! I’m looking forward to more : )

It happens to me always to start the video and think "Again this subject, that is not interesting." usually already saw few videos about same subject, some creative ideas and it is not new. And here I'm ending the video and thinking "Well that is nice video essay, I should check more from this channel." Keep the brilliant work.

Love your videos. Looks great and so relaxing.

those are some great buildings, hopefully will get my current mdf finished so I can add some of his!

Oh I love your videos. They are top notch!

More to come, please!

Bruh this man is like Shakespeare of wargaming

Watching with much excitement as you take us through this series of terrain building and gaming!

Cool video as always! Thanks!

I knew it was brutal cities as soon as I saw the Australia post logo!

when i heard this was an Aussie company i jumped for joy!

Excellent video, as always. Looking forward to this series!

Love the narrative in your videos man.👏👏👏

A little sticky poster tack on the underneath of your mini bases solves the sloped roof problem

My local store has a some excellent terrain builders. As far as I'm aware, most if not all terrain at their gaming space is scratch built and looks fantastic. It's a side of the hobby that I've not really taken part in, mostly due to my hobby budget being spent on minis, but terrain also takes up a lot more space than they do. Lately I've been really itching to start a Sylvaneth army in AoS, who practically require large tree terrain as a part of their rules, so I expect to paint a lot of those sometime in the future.

What an awesome video! Brutal Cities makes very cool stuff :) working on a similar concept, MDF modular cathedral from Miniature Scenery. Being intentional about the weathering and detail so it can go medieval fantasy or gothic sci-fi!

Really like the idea of terrain that looks like actual architecture, and brutalism is the perfect fit for mdf. Look forwards to more!

Wow, you have really outdone yourself with the writing on this one. Usually, it's the shot composition or soothing voice that gets me invested in your videos but that introduction, in particular, was just something else. It's like a comfy children's book from the early 20th century: cute, charming, and funny. I love it!

Know what i will suggest? A Proxon wire cutting table... then mass produce a ton of foam bricks. Build the buildings out of bricks and they look amazing. But I have to say, the panels he makes to put on MDF is interesting... very neat.

I've loved the design of Ryan's buildings since i first saw them and always planned on getting some to modify for cyberpunk games. I'm really looking forward to this series, and the massive hit to my wallet it is likely to inspire.

My personal favorite bit was the snufkin mug, but the rest is good too 😉

I look forward to the next instalment 😁

When you said you wanted terrain for everything you made my dream come true. Your voice is soothing as a hot coffee in winter and your videos are like a lost donut found in the fridge when you crave something sweet.

Love this, and I can't wait to see what you do with this new city/town/battlefield! I came across Brutal Cities myself a while ago and the range looks fantastic. Sadly my gaming area already has about 3 different tables-worth of terrain being stored in a distinctly limited space real world apartment that must also feature myself, my dog etc.

Looking forward to more video's in this series! Especially how you customize and paint the buildings.

Well, definately saving up for the eternity labs tournament bundle now, love this vibe so much!

Awesome video mate, subbed.

Another beautifully produced video and a great topic to cover. I'll have to give them a look.

Cool as ever, like jazz, but better

I'm so excited for this! What a brilliant idea

"family friendly, puzzle assembly" that was a great line :)

5:51 A Snufkin Mug 😍😍😍 I feel that Tabletop Combat's Venetian mdf kits could be good for a terrain set that works for fantasy and sci-fi.

These are awesome! Consider me sold!

I’m excited to see how this goes,definitely will check out the site ,don’t have need of terrain yet ,but always good to know where to get the good stuff . Awesome vid as always can’t wait to see more

Alex, as always a brilliant script and narrative. I have to believe that Brutal Cities is quite pleased as well. 👍👍

You finally did it! A video where you don’t use any greenish paint! 😁

Great use of color. Even your sweater was color keyed to those medieval buildings you built. You definitely have an eye for the visual.... Can't wait to see your genius/madness that is terrain in the future!

Thanks for the story time. Would love to see a video on how to paint MDF terrain.

In response to the sloped roof issue. I know DnD players like to use magnets so that they aren't limited to strictly flat surfaces. Though it doesn't seem like reopening the possibilities would actually be that helpful to you now!

Very, very interesting idea! I've always had a split opinion on MDF terrain. On one hand its cheaper and faster to build and can look really good and fill a table, on the other side it can look like its just pieces of cardboard glued together. Im excited to see how you deal with them. The idea and the designs of brutal cities are super cool, and you seem to be a marketing expert ;)

Det är fascinerande hur väl någon annans tankar (dina i det här fallet) kan passa rätt in i hur man själv (alltså jag) tänker. Lite unheimlich ekokammare att se på den här videon, men det är ju behagligt att ibland bli struken medhårs. Som alltid välproducerat innehåll! Bra där. Ser fram emot serien om den framväxande staden, speciellt då hur den underbara Brutal Cities anpassas för fantasy.

Brilliant writing, awesome buisness model. 👍👍👍👍

Me “that’s a cool sci-fi corner shop and apartment” “Top floor windows for snipers” “Yeah that too I guess” XD

Looking forward to see where this is going.

I find myself very excited about the upcoming MDF builds.

Great stuff friend, thanks for sharing your journey 👏👍

This is exciting! I've been working on some similar stuff, but orky. Good luck!

Pretty great!

Really frickin love the designs! Have an interest in architecture myself and have always been drawn to brutalism. Looks absolutely amazing and wish I had an excuse to build a whole brutalist cyberpunk-noir city. Most of my mini collection is fantasy, though, and I honestly have trouble seeing this working in a fantasy setting. Apart from saying "Well, this Imperiums alchemists invented concrete early and in this universe brutalism is the major design philosphy instead of half-timbering, just roll with it". But with this "lore-excuse" you could make anything work, from necron stuff to Infinity-Cities. I am actually playing with the thought of "One terrain type to rule them all, sci-fi or fantasy", too, but I'd go with the typical Grim Dark ruined cathedral table, then. Works for 40k and the like and works well enough with fantasy. The few vents and pipes can be explained by some dwarfs/goblins/gnomes laying on hands. Excited to see what you make of these kits!

Brutal Cities are dope af

Definitely my buildings of choice for Infinity. Looking forward to following this urban sprawl!
