40K Terrain Tutorial - DEATH WORLD JUNGLE - Scratch Build!

In this video I show how to craft an awesome jungle using fairly common household items. This would be great for representing Catachan in a Warhammer 40k battle or any other jungle death world. It would also be great for a Warhammer Fantasy Battle taking place in Lustria or an Age of Sigmar Battle in one of their jungles...I don’t really know AOS lore too well. It would also be great for a Jungle encounter in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) or Pathfinder.
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

How did I not manage to mention predator?? Glaring oversight on my part

[@shaneflickinger]

Honestly this is the most atmospheric jungle terrain I've seen. I really think the hanging vines is what does it. Brilliant as always sir! Cheers!

[@crazybob101]

This is the first jungle terrain I´ve seen that really has that dense jungle feel to it, great job!

[@NapGod]

As someone who *hates* the L-shaped ruined techno-gothic building terrain that is so ubiquitous, I cannot thank you enough for this. I love Jungle/Forest settings for the tabletop and I keep coming back to watch this video everytime I need more terrain. The simple materials, the overlooked details like jungle vines, and the iconic fallen log piece... I've gotten so much value out of this one video. Big fan of your channel as a whole. You've inspired me to start dabbling in the idea of a full diorama. Thank you for your work.

[@Kirk.t.g]

I love how this one turned out. I want to see some ambushes in this terrifying jungle

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

It might happen anytime qordqord

[@cameronf5893]

Dude this is super cool. I'm just getting into crafting. Good to see that even jungles can be accomplished with miniature craft :)

[@saucercrabzero]

Really great build, you have a knack for doing the little things to really sell the realism and make it pop! I like the use of packing peanuts, very resourceful, and the armatures looked great. Learned a lot from this video, as always!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks saucercrabzero! I am happy with this one. They say nothing is new under the sun, but I think I may have invented a few techniques on this project!

[@TheDrewjameson]

fwiw I'm amazed the packing peanut foliage worked so well

[@torymiddlebrooks]

"Eric this is the 9th time you've watched Lion King this week, please stop." "It's RESEARCH!"

Bro.. I swear you seem to really capture the essence of the 40k universe settings, every video you upload is like the ultimate dream terrain of 1990's - 2k gamers , Cheers from Australia 🍻

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Glad you think so! Thats kind of what I’m going for

[@RFDHobby]

Every time I expect you're going to pull out a packet of bought stuff for something in your builds, you end up making it from scratch. I'm totally making those ferns and plants, and the log, and the vines haha...It's all so good. Great work. Thanks Eric.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

One day i will use some of the great materials out there lol

[@3D_Inquieto]

Tengo prácticamente la misma escenografía pendiente de terminar y los ejemplos de las hojas me han venido de maravilla. Me ha venido de maravilla tu vídeo, muchas gracias Eric

I wish I had a video reaction for when you did the leaves with the plate......GENIUS!!!!!!

I’m so blown away by some of these techniques I don’t even know which one to point out first.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

[@footrot17]

I quit the hobby last year due to a price hike that pissed me off. Finding your channel has given me inspiration to pick it up again. Cheers mate mate. Much love from down unda

[@clashofthedice]

Great video. Not sure if someone else has added this in the comments, but baking parchment / greaseproof paper makes things like your ferns a lot easier; the hot glue base that you made will peel off it nice and easy without the need for a knife

[@grimdarklegends9600]

This was the first really good jungle terrain tutorial I've found- I made everything up and am really happy with how it makes the videos on my channel look. Thanks a lot, Eric!

[@ryan_mette]

If you're planning enough terrain for a whole table, I would love to see how you approach some dangerous fauna. Possibly the remains of some unfortunate guardsmen strewn about

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I have already made some deadly plants, they will appear in a future video on alien plants

[@tomvierlinger5124]

the way you did the leafs is just genius! this gave me some inspiration for my jungle tarrain. did a lot of jungle terrain, but i also have the problem, that they dont have this "overgrown" feeling - thx for the inspiration! :)

[@hectormorales4090]

Eric, I am not sure why, but this one is, perhaps, my new favorite. Dude, you are getting better and better, and the way you explain things, your ingenuity, and your own way it's just awesome! Thanks for sharing and keep it up, mate!

[@minisarefuntopaint]

This really does give a good jungle effect. Planted terrain is hard to do well, but you've managed it here.

[@azraelus1]

Love it, the vines and centerpiece sells the jungle look completely

[@dartmart9263]

Fantastic build! I love the climbing vines and the hanging lianas. And Deathworld was my favorite Harry Harrison novel too. :)

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I was very lucky I think! The packing peanuts i had weren’t dissolved by the spray paint. Other types might not be so lucky - you might need to spray a lot of mod podge on em first. Good luck!

I remember a GW issue with jungle terrain building. They had a land raider cut in an angle to simulate it sinking in mud and a giant tree growing out of it. It was pretty cool, i wouldn't have the courage to chop up a 45 dollar kit for terrain. Thank god for 3d and resin printing

[@rileyernst9086]

Some very cool and innovative techniques, as someone who lives in a rainforest area I've given up trying and have decided the much more exotic 'desert terrain' is more forgiving... At any rate awesome work. Serviceable and easy, really cool work thanks for sharing. Two easy improvements I'd suggest would be: 1 light dusting of fine turf on tree trunk, ground, and vines I can't say it enough, it is ideal as synthetic moss and it adds that nice soft mossy texture. 2 Some of those nice paper plants attached to your trees and log as epiphytes, you'd be familiar with mistletoe, but you get fig trees, ferns, orchids, bromeiliads, and more growing everywhere.

Hello love your nature scenes, I have a suggestion . The past cement you make . I have used crushed egg carton broken up put in blender add water blend until slushy , drain water off then squeeze most but not all excess water out . After add glue , Elmer's, any white glue will work mix to what ever texture you want . I find this works well and you can add texture to your liking . very fun to work with doing projects like these . have a wonderful day .
