40K Terrain - INDUSTRIAL HIVE GANG HIDEOUT! - Scratch build tutorial for Necromunda, Kill Team

[@Vox_Rhododendron]

This man’s way of turning anything into rusty metal is certainly something.

[@LeBoomStudios]

Don't know if he sees this, but here goes some constructive criticism: I think the metal parts look a little too uniform. Like, it all looks rusted in the same way. You'd expect them to be made of different metals that rust in different ways, also the structures that were already there would be more heavily rusted and deteriorated than what has been added over time. Other than that, great effing work, really love it.

[@jbsamuel359]

Maybe it doesn't translate well on terrain, maybe it'll look a bit miss-matched. Good point though!

[@wiktormroczek]

A way of turning everything into rusty metal. Hoped that cleared things up :)) l

[@earlware4322]

@@LeBoomStudios I see your point and it has been a thoight at the back of my brain. If he was not so uniform in his rust washing or painted each structure a different base coat it woild look really amazing. Watch his Shanty Town build video, I think something in between this and that would look really good. Also, some of his builds include lighting, usually tea lights, but I think nearly all of his structures could really benefit from some mood lighting from some well placed LEDs. Don't get me wrong, his terrain are fricken' awesome and I don't think (or know) that I could do any better. I just think there is room for improvement, its very tiny, but it's there. 😃

[@IM3.]

In my opinion you are the best terrain creator i've ever seen. Truly creative and talented. I am a true fan. Thanks for posting.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Koloses, thats very kind of you to say! :D

[@scottbeale1825]

Between him and Black Magic, I've got to say. Black Magic's stuff is jaw dropping in the technical mastery behind it, but Eric's stuff is just so incredibly creative using such simple techniques and materials to incredible effect.

[@hyperbene7711]

That is sooooo true

[@estevanphillips6889]

“Choke on that one, I do what I want” beautifully said.

[@BDR123]

You and Wyloch are my favourite 40k crafters, while Wyloch plans everything and meassures every detail, you have a basic idea and improvise a great result! Great differences and both perfectly useful!

[@p11_studios]

The comedy is probably the biggest reason I subscribed. But the build is a close second

[@sylntghost007]

I showed my wife a few of your projects.now when she’s out shopping for the grandson she brings me stuff home from the thrift stores.you sir are truly inspiring.thanks for the great tutorials.

[@wendybrown7068]

Please order through Eric's channel. I ordered chip board and did NOT order through his channel and got thin, flimsy chip board. Also when he says be careful with your cutting tools he really says something important. My carpet knife slipped when I was cutting and I almost gave myself an appendectomy! Just a poke, no blood but it hurt!. I've built 3 of his builds and also made my own battle mat. Love this channel! Go Eric! Hope you're enjoying being a Dad.

Don't mind me, just haunting your old Necromunda videos, feeding the temptation to play again 😄 Great characterful build man!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I see you!! Hope you are enjoying em

[@jacobhope6164]

I really like how you keep a standard paint scheme across all your grim dark projects. It really does allow you to use them all in concert. Brilliant!

[@ozzfan1974]

" a mistake you only have to make once but will make everytime" LOL

[@Wi-Fi-El]

If you want to have chipped metal, you can use toothpaste as a masking fluid. A thin layer can be laid down and allowed to dry, and then painted over. Dried toothpaste is very crumbly and an old toothbrush can be used to wipe it away without scratching off any extra paint.

[@WhiterThanAginger]

Best terrain tutorial channel on KZbin.

[@saucercrabzero]

Another great build! I think that my favorite detail is the wires, they look strung in exactly the sort of way someone would do in a real hideout, power lines from the common generator draped over beams and hung from the catwalks, the actual craftsmanship of your builds is always great but it's your eye for selling the realism with small details like that that really puts you out ahead of the pack. I like the use of colors on this way, I think having the worn down flaking remnants of bright paint showing through the rust and grime sells the decay of the setting. Great work!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks man. The drooping wires definitely adds to the silhouette. One thing i always think about when crafting the underhive is there have to be things to go UNDER. This helps the built up hive feel. I also try to think about where pipes and wires are going logically to a certain extent. I’m glad if it looks right to you

[@Gerdion]

I've always been in awe of someone who can look at basic objects and instantly see their modeling potential. Amazing stuff!

ALSO AT THE END OF YOUR VIDEOS; I LOVE THE WAY YOU SHOW THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE STRUCTURE BY USING MINIS AND FILMING THEM FOR MORE THAN ONE SECOND.

[@Schizopantheist]

For anyone trying to construct their own Necromunda/ Post -apocalyptic future terrain (and surely that's everyone with a pulse!) your work is both very inspiring but also super useful for finding materials tools and techniques. The presentation style is also pleasing. Thank you!

[@TobiasM2022]

Truly Amazing I Love that you Build 40K Terrain. You are a Genius. I always has ideas But certainly not your Technique. I Am So Impressed I joined the Patron Absolutely I love it

[@hyperbene7711]

Your designs are beyond brilliant. Mesmerizing!

[@scottsarcanecraft379]

Wow! Indeed an impressive video, where you take typical household items into a master piece. Amazing how just a little paint and such turns everything into rust.

[@brokenwave6125]

I don't do crafts like this or play tabletop RPGs but I watched this entire video intently. You're hilarious and have a great artistic eye

[@TheAppleCap]

Man, I love the way you just bung it all together just rough and ready. Very inspiring

[@Denbot7]

I’ve watched this video so many times. I think this might be my favourite build of yours. For me, this is how Necromunda terrain should look.

[@Wi-Fi-El]

It's crazy how a little paint turns a pile of household objects into an aging factory

[@halloweencrab]

yet another awesome build! i love your sarcastic "it's my build so i'll do what i want" commentary style, makes the videos even more entertaining. you're quickly becoming one of my favorite terrain youtubers, and even though i don't play any miniatures games i've started to build terrain just for the fun of it :D

[@earlware4322]

Okay, so I'm not the only one that Eric has convinced to start building terrain...without actually playing any of the games. Cool, thought I was the only convert around here. 😳😯

[@MyLPMaster001]

The nice thing about the Warhammer 40K Universe is that it doesn't matter, how wacky your models look, it fits perfectly

[@jhall1980]

Love the Rich Piana reference.

[@sebastiangurgul6712]

Getting feisty with the commentary in this one. Quarantine bringing out the no nonsense approach? Really entertaining vid, you’ve definitely rekindled my childhood passion for staring at random objects and wondering how I could mash them into something cool. Keep it up.

[@Druby442]

This is amazing . These things just look like little piles a trash and broken toys and then a splash of primer and some dry brushing and they become terrain that looks better then stuff Ive seen in moderately budgeted films . Dude you are a serious craftsman . Good job !

[@celem91]

Darn. Wish I'd had these kinda resources in '95! I'm so glad this setting still lives. I used to run a Shadowrun campaign set in the Underhive with Necromunda skirmishes in place of that systems combat... Ahh, good times. Cheers pal.

[@aKingInGodsKindom]

Dude ALL OF YOUR BUILDS are flipping awesome!!! I wish I could play paintball or air soft at a place just like this build!... Oh AND all your subtle humor is cracking me UP!!! Keep up the epic content!

[@aKingInGodsKindom]

P.S. I used to work at a chemical plant and....... This doesn’t look surprisingly that much different. Lol. Great capture of those realistic weathering techniques! You are my favorite up and coming channel!!!

[@mrheisenberg83]

The salt chipping method is a tiny bit easier than you think and could have been used on this model. Instead of hairspray you use a tiny amount of water to make the salt stick and afterwards you just brush it off with a stiff brush. At least that is how other people on KZbin do it, I have not tried it myself. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

[@Gamarishi]

The jokes with Anakin and Sand never get old hahaha

Sci-fi and Post Apocalyptic terrain is nowhere near as common as fantasy, so I really appreciate your channel for specializing in it. A few years of crafting (so I have enough to fill my table) and your channel will allow me to have much cooler Cyberpunk games :P

[@maciejmiskiewicz4346]

Hey Eric, I need to say that the best (only one good to be fair) part of this whole Covid situation was finding your channel! This is another awesome build, not only because the final effect is presenting remarkable - I truly love your ideas how to use all the common stuff which can be found around us! Thank you very much for your inspiring videos. Greetings from Poland! PS I cannot agree with your family, dark postapo-looking builds are the best!

I too found this channel because of COVID. After getting home from the hospital and sitting home for 6 weeks while I recovered allowed me to watch alot of youtube :P

[@chrisdabeard8790]

Another amazign build. I love how all your buildings have a realistic feel. I could imagine them existing in real life, not just as a gaming prop. Great stuff.

[@the_average_canadian]

I would love to know how long a project like this actually takes you, for the sake of my sanity. I spend hours putting together some really basic barricades that look like they were made in a 9-year-old's art class at summer camp, but in 30 minutes I've watched you transform a cardboard tube, a plastic container, and a bunch of cardboard into a professional-level diorama.

[@threezysworld8089]

What you can also use for wires/cables is wire casing. You can also melt and stretch the brackets that the figures come in. We used to do that to make wires on model car engines.

[@toxicgases8701]

I played necromunda a lot in the late 90s and I love all the old skool models in this video. Massive nostalgia dose

[@Flamekebab]

I don't watch much in the way of wargaming content on KZbin (I generally get my fill from working in the industry!) but with your videos I find myself watching from beginning to end. Your delivery is super-chilled and the dry wit makes me smile. Oh and you're also excellent at making terrain, obviously.

[@mikehawkins346]

[@kitchchaos]

Your commentary is hilarious and I respect the attitude and stance on terrain making and design choices. You chucked in more than a few excellent tips which never occurred to me and will be a huge help. Sports racket ladders... Game changer. I've been messing about with sprue and toothpicks for too long. NO MORE! Also while basing be careful of being so brazen with that sand. It's course and gets everywhere.... But you did apply it properly from the high ground. Not doing that can be a near fatal mistake.

[@salvatoreattinello3942]

I have to admit, I very new to this "KZbin Channel" thing, as well as new to terrain building. I absolutely love what you do! I love your designs because I think they can fit in a wide range of different story arcs and themes. I, personally, am a big Star Wars fan, so I am using this as inspiration to build dioramas set in the SW galaxy. Thanks for what you do.

Hi Eric, I'm fairly new to your channel and I have to say that I love watching you bring these builds to life... With regards to the hairspray and salt method, you don't have to use water, just remove it the same way you do now, also, I hate the smell of hairspray so I use a small brush and the glue from a glue stick, it's not as strong as white glue etc and holds the salt in place while you add other layers over the top, then when your ready, just scrap away... Please keep these videos coming Sir... Keep safe and sell... John...

[@andrewashby70]

Love the video and build, one tip I'd add, don't use styrene rod for rivet's, grab a leather working tool for making small holes and punch a bunch of them from a sheet of styrene, you don't have to chase a bunch of flying ones and if you make the holes close enough you end up with pieces you can paint up as rusted metal.

[@thomasmontgomery4597]

Great terrain out of scraps and bits. I think a bit of rubble in the corners on the ground with some trash mixed in for color would look better. Also, some awnings out of tissue/toilet paper hanging for sun shades would really be an eye catcher to the overall piece.

[@lisaenglert3202]

Damn, these are awesome! You really do an amazing job. Miniature Hobbyist has a great way to make rivets really enjoying your content! Ps nice editing!

[@beholdayman6995]

If I may be so bold as to leave a suggestion, If you mixed that elmer's/white glue with paint to achieve the desired color, you could drizzle it/let it run down the side of a tank or pool it on the ground to make it look like a leak/spill, and the glue would really give it volume

[@JannerManner]

[@iantait309]

Just want to say thanks for the vid, great when in lock down. Being British I switch between Metric and Imperial all the time. With regards to the hair spray tec. you do not have to run under water. A stiff brush will remove the paint. Do not leave it too long befor removing it. This method is a bit more subtle. Have subed.
