so I saw a few vid´s from you and as a seasoned table top guy, I must say that this is one of the most underrated channels when it comes to terrain making. your low budged, high quality terrain is ace and shows that you dont need expensive materials or high grade equipment!very nice and motivational to watch your stuff. keep it up! :)
Our host is looking more like Anakin Skywalker every vid. Which makes me want to see some Star Wars or Sci-Fi terrain from him. Thanks for the great crafting ideas!
A terrible tragedy has occurred: after my video editor crashed parts of the cutting noises were missing. I did not notice this in time to fix it. Very sad :( Here is the playlist of my growing "Summergrove Wargaming Table": tinyurl.com/y7kt2urd
Hello there! I really appreciate your channel with it's lowkey and approachable, yet amazing looking terrain. More inspiring than any other crafting channel to me. The dry humour helps too! I do wanna point out, that Amazon is damaging to the hobby though, as it hurts the small stores we all know and love. I hope you succed in your endavours. Cheers from Denmark!
Honestly Bard, I am *VERY* happy and proud to be a Patreon supporter of you. 2nd tier. You keep rocking sir. You actually don't quite realize how inspirational you are to me on a personal level. Are you a member of the Table Top Crafters Guild on Facebook?
It's a decent way to go about it, but a silicone brush is the absolute best way I've found; you can probably get a pretty cheap one for doing makeup. Honestly, lots of good tools we hobbyists can get from the makeup aisle, some of my favorite drybrushes are dollar store makeup brushes!
I love this channel. It makes me feel good. 1. I love the ongoing oats joke. 2. Love the huge kitchen knife. 3. I like the background music - and it's not too loud. 4. Love the humour. Just right. 5. Enjoy The Bard's comprehensive grip on English, complete with understanding of various idioms. But while keeping that characterful accent. 6. I Like The Bard himself - what a very charming chap. "Peasant Level?" - I think not. In more ways than one, you've made something beautiful out of nothing, and I thank you for it.
Hi Mr. Bard! Thanks for the video! Could you put in future videos or descriptions roughly how long a certain project takes you? It would be good to know whether to expect to need 3 hours or 30 hours when planning a build.
hmh I would say for all of that it might be around 10 hours, but just start and stopp when you have to stopp I would say is the best approach. Like while building you will figure when you can make a pause and leave it for a day or longer, for example after having it all glued together, after the priming with the glue mixture and once you're painting whenever you feel like it ect. The way I'm working it would be a full 2 days project : day 1 building it together and let the priming black acrylic glue mixture dry over the night (cause I was dumb and never added water to it prior, will try it out with my current project, letting it dry takes me around 3-5 hours depending on room temperature ect.) day 2 : painting everything
Well this one takes around 20 hours if you work as I did. Its hard to estimate because I film, voiceover and edit in between the craft. Best estimate for craft time is size, I would say. All my large crafts have taken much more time, while minis such as the mimic from last episode took about 2 hours to craft
I love using the recycling, b/c too many dioramas rely on new materials. So, far I can't think of a perfect substitute for foam, but I think styrofoam from purchases can be saved. Also glued layers of luan might work, but lack the flexibility of luan.
awesome ruins - high on my list of projects - great simple build again - fantastic final product. my grandson's favourite bit shaking the bricks and rocks facebook.com/theangrydwarf/posts/912417195874637
Have you ever tried using sifted sawdust from your local building centre? (If they have them in Finland.) I used to use it for model railroading, but you can colour it with paint, and it's a decent texture that would probably work well on your builds.
This is good looking and you are talented but the way you are organising the bricks layer is triggering my OCD (former contractor here), de ancients who build those castles and houses probably layered it on a more regular patern. Btw I subscribed many videos ago ;)
My son and I call whatever that big knife actually is the "kitchen sword." Drawing cuts for the win, but your cuts are much straighter than mine! I probably need to eat more oats.
So you mention it might be better to basecoat the bricks over the black with grey. What about the individually coloured bricks to get some variety in the colours. You would apply this after the grey right?
I am glad that you didn't skip the refueling with oats step. The mushrooms were an epic addition. I find that the army painter paint separate less if you squeeze more out of the bottles. It has more paint and less thinner this way. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic! I have always wanted to make my own. As a lifelong D&D player who now applies role playing to my history videos but still plays this is great. I had made cardboard dungeons that I painted/coloured but nowhere near the detail here or of course the pre-made ones which is kind of like cheating lol!
