7 Household items to create INSANE Warhammer bases and terrain!

I spent the last week creating a haunting spider goblin diorama gaming base - using mostly garbage and household items! Enjoy!
The Goblin came from the Greenskull Castle kickstarter running now:

You could do the entrance to the Spiders nest for the last base ... would probably look really awesome with that spider serum 🤔

[@craft-o-matic2377]

Once again, your creation has rendered me speechless Squidmar! It's stunning! Thank you so much! Lisa

[@ItsTh4tGuy]

Hi Emil, I doubt you remember but a few months ago I posted a comment saying how your tips had allowed me to complete a high-level project, potentially landing me a place at University? I have since been accepted to study at my 1st choice University, and will be going this Sunday (6 days as of writing this) Thank you so much for what you do for this community, and thanks for teaching me amazing skills that have allowed me to go to University!! Guy

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

THATS AWESOME!

[@baku2575]

I’ve been waiting so long for you to come back! I think I commented on your og post and I’m so happy for you.

[@fietestrack2758]

Congratz dude!

[@ItsTh4tGuy]

@@SquidmarMiniatures I know!! I'm super excited!

[@ItsTh4tGuy]

@@baku2575 Thanky you so much!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn... Beautiful piece Emil. And hot dangit, never seen that airbrush spiderwebby stuff before! That stuff looks amazing

[@cody180sx]

Green Stuff World makes some legit terrain effect stuff, their blood effect looks life like, seen someone get it on their hands and looks like they cut it wide open, and their snow and water looks really good too.

[@bigbrowntau]

@@cody180sx Yeah, absolutely swear by their snow. It's brilliant.

[@bubger]

Love to see more quality diorama basing videos. We need more content like this.

[@rogthepirate4593]

"Random household items ... garbage ... " Puts full castle wall on the table ... okay

[@wallung1876]

haha, exactly what i was thinking :-D

[@moleiekins5710]

and all the plastic plants he has in the bin

[@netmaster88]

Wow. Just wow. I love the colors and the throne and the river bottom rocks seen through the epoxy poor. It is just amazing!

[@tomclift7630]

A really simple technique I used for sculpting miliput to look more like rocks was to scrunch up a foil ball then press the ball into the miliput in different ways. The texture worked really well and I got a good result

[@KabinMiniatures]

It's easy to forget about the free stuff/garbage/nature materials that really look good on bases! It's quicker to simply buy premade pieces or specific materials marketed for hobbying.... but this is so creative and unique!

[@Bluecho4]

My sister and her husband live on a farm, and during our last visit I saw plenty of branches and the like that I thought might do for crafting. (That, and a whole heap of cardboard from floor tile boxes). Alas, we have to drive for 8-10 hours to get back home from there, so I couldn't justify packing the cars full of "garbage". Maybe some other time.

[@MrMicah52]

I have been wanting to see more of this army, it is so epic! Can't wait to see it all completed and the journey to get there

[@TCS-Robin]

The paintjob is absolutely stunning! I really like how it ties together and isn't just a green piece. Keep up the good work Emil!

[@Berserkerworks]

Your diorama bases have always been inspiring, and this one is no exception. Always seem to learn something new. Thanks!

[@sstinger0137]

Really enjoyed this one. Thank you for sharing!

[@BirdyD01]

Great job you have given me a wind of energy to finish my spider now!

[@bearscaveofminiatures6396]

Thank you for this awesome video! I am excited to start my first basing project to warm up to landscape dioramas. I've always painted my minis, and left my bases alone since for playing games the environment changes but I've wanted to make my bases look real, and not just painted so I'm feeling extra inspired now :)

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

That spider is the stuff of nightmares. Thus, it's perfect. Loved how all the colours popped out on the scenery when hit with the UV light. Well done, Emil.

[@davidbrown4849]

That spray spider-web stuff is interesting, I've not seen it before.

[@flashymaxminecraft6930]

Wow, just wow!

[@kylekneeland8986]

This is the type of hobby video I love - not a gimmick video, just pure hobby

[@themortlord7212]

SPIDER SERUM OMFG!!! awesome!!

[@FrankieRogersArt]

The other big spider video you did is the video of yours I have watched the most times. This video is just as incredible. Seeing you perform such magic on these bases makes me want to go out and buy a big monster model so I can play about too. Incredible stuff as always!

[@KingColonel]

Wow!!! That reveal was epic!

[@Truthteller024]

That is the coolest and most amazingly painted base I have ever seen. I'm not just saying that. Wow!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Very cool video! Will definitely try out some of these ideas for future projects!

[@kritique777]

Beautiful!

[@ChampionofTerra]

this looks fantastic!

[@8heimdall8]

maaan that s awesome !!

[@remomareno]

Learned a lot! Thanks!!

[@TheBuefurd]

13:01 I searched google but can't for the life of me find anything related to "Polar Twist" (if that's indeed what you're saying here). Edit: For those looking, it's spelled "Polertwist".

[@marcjones5862]

That’s one of the best miniatures I’ve ever seen. The story is amazing!!

[@malabor_paints]

I love these kinds of videos from you, Emil. Keep up the creative work!!

[@christiansebine7316]

This is the most awesome video I watch in a long time, the whole scene looks insane Emil. Absolutely amazing 🤩

[@user-li5fx2dl6s]

It’s insane! Great details and highlights!

[@silv8526]

Magnificent ! It blew my mind OO

[@bs_videos1213]

Nice looking diorama, I like all the plant details in particular

[@baku2575]

I absolutely love these videos. They are by far my favourite. Also can we see it beside your other spider.

[@fellowshipofthecraftofficial]

It looks incredible!!!

[@Fallen_BDPS]

Great video! I've really missed videos like this on your channel.

[@Gravehaven007]

Master of bases man. Insaneeeee

[@vsriotact]

These mini diorama vids are prob my favourites your style of painting and building is incredible. I'd love to see what you could do on a larger scale. 1x2 foot for example.

[@x.davidwilliams83]

Huzzah! Because of videos like this , i have wholly went in to Gloomspite Gitz - Spiderfang Army. Thank you thank you!

[@Nakai_the_Wanderer]

Spider Serum?! This is new for me, I need this in my life.

[@StackingLimit]

Amazing work Emil.

[@jonathanstourme1713]

awesome I love your work !! So inspirating !

[@magg0t653]

My god! You are sooo talented! Amazing!

[@youtubevanced4900]

Holy Moly. That is incredible.

[@ComarBdF]

Amazing job !

[@Zickzag]

Simply amazing.

[@cedric233]

Wonderful diaporama !

[@franciscomattioli3122]

What an amazing job!!

[@MANYTHINGSNOTSOMANYTHINGS]

Nice jumper

[@tjd502]

Goblins are great, and you make them look amazing! As a fellow Goblin collector, it's nice to see someone who shares my passion for these weird little green fellas :P

[@Zilbox]

Amazing!!! 😍

[@DerWaldschrat]

Amazing work! Love to see more videos about basing :)

[@joelneale9558]

Best video for a while man. Love it, this is why I am here.

[@Dan-ck5mf]

This is seriously awesome! Makes me want to try something out for my Stormcast Eternals. Just got into the hobby, and you're a great inspiration Emil! My first minatures were rather good dare I say because Ive watched you and some other "how to" videos first. Still got a long way to go, but I wouldn't be shy of showing them off and bringing them to the table! Cheers.

[@clawhammr666]

Looks awesome, wouldn't mind seeing more diorama stuff :D

[@jeffreycrowder2866]

Very cool diorama

[@user-ut2wv4zw4u]

My god this is incredible. Very inspiring work!

[@schaaf9637]

what an amazing miniature and base

[@wallung1876]

What?? I need that Spider Serum! It's awesome!

[@towerguarder]

holy crap that spider serum is cool af

[@hydraulisch]

so f*cking amazing...the Spidernet "Colour" killed my Imagination...even im not into Warhammer or anything else of Tabletop Stuff, your Vids make me wanna do it by myself... Great Job...speechless... Greetings from Germoney

[@matthijspuppels8119]

Soooo nice

[@Smudgie33]

Amazing diorama.

[@Crafted2Build]

this army has been the driving force for me learning how to airbrush and also starting my AoS army

[@lanty693]

Amazing!

[@euansmith3699]

That is spiderific! Using UV resin to seal the dam before pouring the two-part resin was a clever idea.

[@gryffin20]

Bro! You made my dreammmmms come true. I am invredibly excited to see these Spider Goblins come together. And theres a possibility to have a 3rd and final spider and goblin master come up?! Sign me up. If you could take those old spider sculpts and come up with an epic gloom army... Man dude. Really I can think of no pro wargamer painting channels that cover this particular army.

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@JasemCatrall]

Good Work! The goblin even looks like an old GW forest goblin!

[@adamoakson3076]

Great job, I now have a new favourite Squidmar video :D

[@carlstanford7607]

Nice job

[@alexpoobum]

amazing

[@firelordsinger9666]

Dude this is insane and im so inspired to hobby when i get home lol

[@tikoi3368]

This is so good

[@akselolsson7576]

Killin it Emil!💥💥💥

[@DeathByFrenchFry]

Pretty sure Das weighs less than milliput after drying, its paper clay. But milliput would look better.. I dont feel as bad about my bits/trash stash now 🤣 Epic work Emil!

[@Bluecho4]

I think I saw some Das (or a similar brand of air dry clay) at my local dollar store.

[@deegegaming7911]

This IS the best miniature ever made! Well done bro!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Thank you so much 😀

[@VaSoapman]

Another trick that works well for covering corkboard is paper mache All you need for that is glue and toilert paper. Very cheap, but super messy.

[@kal6351]

Awesome job as usual. And that's a great idea blocking off with UV resin first. I'm sure many of us had experienced leakage with our pour. But I have to confess, my favorite part is when Mr. Subscribe came to call. I actually laughed out loud. No joke. I was expecting some special part arriving from one sponsor or another. So I was totally caught off guard. Thanks for the laugh. :-)

[@vilhelmbladin9275]

Galet atmosfäriskt!

[@dekai7992]

The COLOURS!!! 💖

[@cameronblight]

That squidmar baseball cap is awesome

[@lordnurgle4248]

Nice!

[@saschaschutte9722]

Holy shit this is freaking awesome !

[@nykrev]

Cool

[@nytflov2736]

As a French viewer, I really enjoyed this warhammer video. This game is the best

[@dlh567]

Looking around for Milliput I've found it on Amazon for as low as 4€ a box. I ended up buying terracotta colored Milliput last time because it was cheapest, but I'm going to paint over it 95% of the time so I usually use that and save the white and black for special cases.

[@hinti24]

we need more spider related content . definitely

[@smoothbrush4722]

Nice diorama.

[@Snacklord_Dennis]

Because it’s all about that base 😍😎

[@Ammonitemare1711]

Dude... casually painting that giant spider, all the hand painted rocks at the bottom of the creek, using that awesome green stuff world spider webbing (those people are actual magicians how does that even work), and adding a whole extra mini to the already complex diorama project. This video has it all

[@dennis.the.drummer]

Dang!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

You do not sound like the Swedish Chef 99% of the time. When you said plague-bearer and fiftay-fiftay mix I lost it. What a build! Amazing! The way you painted the leaves on the fake plants turned out extra cool. Reminds me of prehistoric dinosaur vegetation or just wild fantasy plants I guess.

[@soniaalvarez9342]

Lesss goooo y love this type of videos

[@spacehamsterZH]

Ha, those Ikea coasters are awesome... sooo much cheaper than buying cork at the craft store and just as good. I always have a stack of them.

[@klashiklash1430]

Wow very nice Work ! I really like everything about it, but meeen dat base is...... and also I dont get why people dislike this kind of content.

[@christianfritsch3033]

Terrific Job on that Diorama Emil! I really like the colour scheme you used for the spider. I have some monsters in mind on which that could work very well too. Would you please tell me which contrasts you used for both the body and the legs? I assume Akhelian + Plaguebearer was the highlight for the body, but what did you use for the Shadow? Pure Akhelian? And I'd personally love to see a video in which you show us how you create that beautiful effect with the airbrush. Happy Painting and thanks for all your entertaining content!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

I used it for the entire one, just thinner application on the top.

[@angelobrancato6703]

Damn, love it. Especially the Colour scheme for the spider. Is there a tutorial on how you painted the whole spider?
