The Comprehensive Newbie Crash Course for DIY Terrain for Dungeons & Dragons 

Amen to this!!

Wow. A blessing from the Craft father himself. 😢

Amen. Thanks Wyloch!

Love it!

When two DM crafting legends speak to each other it's like listening to Luke Skywalker and Capt. Kirk have a conversation. We are all blessed at the event. LOL. But I agree with DM Scotty, simple, cheap and reusable. Something easy for a newbie to do to just get started. It's amazing how something banged together so quickly can look so good. Great job!

No shade, that is just where my skill set/tool set is at present

Yeah same here. Even something like bards crafts peasant level constructs are beyond me because i have no xps foam in my state. So this video is great. There's a nother great channel doing simple builds with cardbaord TP and glue and theu look great. Celtic theme visuals too. Its Tri-Hard i think

"Make sure your airbrush is clean. You'll also need 356 neodymium magnets, 38 tea lights, and an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering for this build."

Yeah, I love these style videos because I hope that they break down the "I can't do this" barrier for the hobby. The last one that just flat made me die inside was a content creator (who shall remain nameless) had a "super easy basing scheme". First, it was a diorama not a basing scheme. Second, and this was a little trivia I learned because my father was an engineer, he booted up a software package that i know is a few thousand dollars and is normally used for engineering high tolerance engine parts. Because my dad used it, and bitched about the ridiculous license fees Third, he then loaded the file to an industrial laser prototyper, about 20k US, if his video on getting it is to be believed. (Which again, seems right from the machines my dad worked with). To make circles. This was to make circles. "Easy". Edited for autocorrects.

YES!!! You are speaking truth, brotha.

Thank you kindly boss

Same here :)

I watch you

And i'm subscribed

I heard the Pokémon theme "gotta catch em all"... but "watch em all"...

50$ evaluation ? i can get all this for around 15$. unless you buy from Walmart. lol

​@@goatintuxedo2206 5$ take it or leave it

I find it useful to keep a notepad where I note the mix, so I can match the colour with later projects eg "PVA basecoat= 1 cup pva: 1 cup water: 1 tbl spoon blk paint" Never trust your memory!

Neat! The shape is so right for the tapered kind of band.

It works! Same plan, glue those little bricks on, fashion a round shingled roof. If ya wanna get fancy, cut out a window or two. One caution, if you're gluing the shiny side of cardstock to the Pringles tube, use some sandpaper on the tube. It helps the glue stick better to have a roughened surface.

The crafting muse did a Pringle tower video that was good

It absolutely is, it's just waiting for you to breathe life into it

Remember to add balconies with corrugated cardboard or styrofoam. Found a cool lantern in a toy set? Stick it on. Round roof can be a bit tricky, but who said it needed to be a straight looking wizard tower roof? Embrace it being wonky, it's a cooky wizard after all. Windows can easily be a simple frame with dark blue paint in the middle with wood edges.

It's practically a moral imperative.

Even quicker: decide on a PVA+paint colour basecoat as 'grouting' then add the bricks (painted before cutting) straight into the wet PVA basecoat. Presto! for a more cultured-looking brick wall.

I seen official walls are ultra expensive- it is good to avoid that cost . 😊

Wyloch isn't Jesus, but I can see why you mix them up. The way to tell them apart: Wyloch found a woman early in life. Otherwise -- beard, long hair, sandals -- they're very similar.

Applause! (listen very hard)

I'm confused. Does anything actually cost 99c at the 99c store?

@@michaelbarry1651 not anymore. Inflation 😞

That's because he found a woman early in life.

The most important parts of grimdark are dark colours (just use darker colours) and skulls. Skulls are tricky to sculpt, but far from impossible. But can be a bit annoying to sculpt every time, especially if one needs skulls all around a house. So get some "instant mould", many brands exist. Mix in hot water, creates an often reusable mould material. Get skulls! Either a good toy or a sculpt. Lay some of the hot mould down, perhaps 5mm thick. Stick the skull into it, several times. Can be useful to glue a rod on the back of it as a handle. You can just remove it later. Let dry. Use plaster to cast skulls. This technique makes flat-backed skulls that go on walls. One can make 3d moulds with instant mould as well, might be a bit trickier with plaster but sculpting 'clay' works great in 3d instant mould. Cover project in skulls. Tada, grimdark!

Red/brown paint with a dot of black, lots of water makes a 'rust wash' that I use on all my 40k grimdark terrain.

Skull beads are easy to find and you can fill on the top and bottom with papier-mache/spitwad. still cost effective, I guess depending on how many skulls you need.

Yeah dude

So yes you can find very cheap "box cutter" versions but I find that buying a real solid one *once* is worth it. They are heavy, sturdy, easy to control. I am generally not a safety worry-wort but I must say, if there's anything you should NOT skimp out on, it's a high quality knife.

not the same at all lol

@@WylochsArmory To quote my first boss on construction; “you can use the cheapest, most dogsh*t materials you like; but don’t ever cheap out on tools”

It may seem paradoxical but a sharp knife is actually safer than a dull, cheap one. Since you need to use much less force for a given job, the sharp blade is much more controllable.

Despite me doing mostly science fiction crafting for 5+ years, this has still given me plenty of ideas for new projects and seeking greater efficiency. Silver, copper, and other weird colours can do a lot for 'tech' effects, and a red-brown wash of "rust" is my favourite quick cheat.

You're also a hell of a hype man.

@@WylochsArmory Fun fact I planned on doing a video segment for each one of the guildmasters but I didn't bring my own camera and wasn't able to. Next time I will bring a camera.

Just 'nemesis", Elena - or we're on a perilous expedition into tautology land. Please kill me. Very best wishes from Nottingham UK (where the GW secret HQ and money-wells are).

@@notreallydavid are you sure about that? The prefix "arch" only means something along the lines of "chief" or "Superior". Like archbishop. And considering "nemesis" is not entirely and in every situation interchangeable with "archenemy", slapping the arch-prefix on it shouldn't be an issue. That said, if it's really wrong, fault your native-speaking collegues, not the second-language speakers who learn these words from seemingly reliable sources like Merriam Webster, who dates back the first known use of the word to 1901 :) Pedantic greetings from Germany.

@@JeiFaeKlubs Hi Elena. I think 'nemesis' is traditionally the worstestest long-standing enemy possible - to me, intensifiers only lessen that. But I'm oldish and smelly and nobody's boss. Euro-pedantry RARKS.

'Nemesis' is singular and absolute. There are no alternatives or variants: Achilles and Hector (Iliad), Blake and Servalan (Blake's 7), the Doctor and the Master (Dr Who), Kirk and Khan (ST), Barnes and Elias (Platoon), Donald Trump and the English language. A nemesis might have a boss or even a superior, but they are an evil double of the hero/protagonist, locked in a dance that ends in the destruction of both: there can be no other, arch or not!
