Bloody hell Ben. Just when I promise myself that I don’t need to buy any more stuff, I now need to buy the floor tiles kits and the foam bricks kit. Goddammit!! 😂
That’s exactly my aim with it! I can use it for an Osgiliath themed board or I can use them as generic mini ruins on my grassy plains board. All about that versatility!
This is fantastic. My oldest boy is getting into miniatures, D&D, and painting and this would be an idea project for him. Will have to find out if they ship to Australia. Would love to surprise him with this set.
This would make a great project! Easy enough to build but looks great on the table. Drop Paul at Firedragon Games a message! I’m sure he’d be able to help get one to Aus 😊
That setup looks great especially with the matching floor tiles on your new board. I’ve bought from firedragon in the past but it looks like the have added a few new items. You are a life saver with that home made wash, I’ve been going through Agrax and Nuln at an alarming to my wallet rate. I’ll definitely be giving that a go.
When I got the kit I didn’t realise that the floor tiles matched, but it’s a really nice feature! They’re a great resource if you’re short on time or don’t have the ability to carve out bricks/tiles etc yourself. It’s a great way of making washes! If you want it darker or lighter just add more/less ink to it 😊 Definitely a LOT cheaper than Agrax/Nuln oil for terrain applications!
@@BenjisHobbies I do have a question for you; With such thin MDF bases, did you experience any warping with the base at all? I have heard of MDF Sealer spray that can prevent warping and protect the MDF.
What an excellent looking kit! You do it justice too with your great finishing. Maybe a silly question, but what size are the bricks? Their site doesn't say and I'm wondering how they would stack up against some terrain I already have. The fact that they sell bags of these bricks separately definitely makes it interesting going forward anyway.
Haha! I’m resisting the urge to respond with ‘you’re a tool!’ 😉😜 I consider a Brush a brush. Tools would be things like knives, sculpting tools, hot wire cutters etc, just for anyone reading this who isn’t sure! 😉
@@harazhangf5782 I know right! What I love about it is the modularity. It can literally represent any sort of ruin you want. My board is giving off Osgiliath vibes but could be any sort of ruin or individual little houses. I think I’ll be picking another set up to fill the board out!
It’s not daunting, just time consuming! And you can do as many or as few as you want. It took me less than an hour to glue all the ‘loose’ bricks in place 😊
Burnt Sienna is my favourite. It’s what I use for cooking when I run out of soy sauce… They’re pretty versatile for terrain etc. I’ve not used them much on minis but I can’t see why you couldn’t. Apparently they work great through an airbrush!
I mean, I do justify this in the video 😉 If you fancy trying your hand at foam modelling, or just want to make a few ruins for your games without investing in tools this is a good place to start. You get a feel for using the material without needing any of the tools or the expertise and get a bunch of great looking ruins in the process!
Health and safety spanner here...I don't think it very healthy tasting your ink...it may inadvertently change the colour of your wee to a nuln oil wash....
Foam ruins normally need a craft knife at minimum, let along carving tools, hot wire cutters, templates, jigs etc… This didn’t use any tools at all, so if you’re starting out and want a dabble this is an easy stepping on point.
