@@MidwinterMinis The Plastic connector pieces for PEX piping would also work well, though you'd need to take a hobby saw to them. PEX itself is great since it can be cut and shaped with wire cutters and pliers, so you can create busted or exploded pipes and have them connected to your PVC pipes with super-glue. I have not yet checked to see how well they take paint yet since I've not had time.

they still do encourage custom building of terrain. they even let you bring 3D printed terrain, so long as you printed it yourself and went to the effort of making it. The terrain they sell is just a way to cash in on people who are new to this sort of hobby and have no basic tools or other things with which to make really cool custom terrain.

THIS is why i fell in love with 40k as a teenager. Building your own world to play in was just as much part of the fun as the minis, the lore or actually playing the damn game. Long weekends of creativity, painting, making a mess with glue, searching trashcans and the woods outdoors for materials, drinking iced tea and listening to music with friends... good times.

Little tip on foamboard cutting. Use a heavy Duty Utility Blade, and cut at low angles. Cut several pieces, then flip the blade. Have spares. Hone the blades on a piece of leather (leather has silica strands that are abrasive to steel) by finding the blade's natural cut angle, and pulling towards you and then lifting straight up in an L motion. Resist the urge to flip the blade at the end of the movement in a J motion. The edge will be destroyed otherwise.

There's a lot more you can do for the foam sheet terrain. Cut out windows in it and use match in the middle for what used to be the window frame, you can use a very sharp pencil point to "carve" shapes into the foam (bricks, bullet holes, wood support beams,...) A good idea is to look at the terrain kits from games workshop (the cheap ones) and try and copy it out of foam (you can even make towers, or same ruins but with an upstairs floor very easily). Another thing that is very easy to do it cut out a random shape of cardboard, cover it in PVA glue and sand, then superglue some random rocks or a twig standing up, then glue some flock to it, very cheap and obviously because you use actual rocks it looks realistic. To make craters, I keep styrofoam protection from boxes (preferably a straight sheet) , and I spray it with aerosol or apply superglue to the middle and slightly less towards the edges, which melts it into a random crater shape, carve the sides, you can then cover it entirely with PVA glue, cover it in sand then you can safely paint over it.

Awesome! I’ve got a few more things to try now. I’ll be looking into getting the fittings for the barrels and the gravel trays for sure.

I just watched another painting report and realised the benefits of your speed painting techniques. While they don't do enough for me they do get the basics down which allow me to get the detail in, more so than you do. By detail I mean I like to pick out webing and ammo which normally carry their own colour. And being slightly masochistic I like to paint the link for the rounds which usually appears as cloth on the models. But in any event your techniques certainly allow a guy to get an army on the battle field.

Great vid, good scenery doesn't need to cost huge $$$. Starting 40k from the original rogue trader, we had to build everything back then. On ruins you can use toothpicks or thin plastic rod sticking out of the broken edges of the walls to simulate broken reinforcing rods.
