ARTILLERY SHRINE - An easy little TRENCH + CRUSADE build

[@demetrinight5924]

Thank you for powering through for a build video while sick. A simple build with instrumental music is nice and relaxing and still inspiring. Hope you feel better soon.

[@sterlingfelker6295]

I think this might be my favorite of your videos. The small nature of the build makes the little details and simple joys of a little bit of wood looking like tiny planks so good.

[@pietrayday9915]

It reminds me a lot of the 1980s when RAFM (i believe) used to make pewter Call of Cthulhu miniatures, and most of the monsters would come with tiny bits of terrain, usually a little knee-high artifacts, relics, shrine, idol, or altar of some sort, unadvertised on the packaging, and included without explanation. Those little tiny-sized bits of terrain were always super-fun to paint up, quite eerie and atmospheric, flexible to work with for all sorts of little terrain and gaming ideas, and nice and simple for a quick evening or two of something a little different to paint from monsters, cultists, and heroes. I think these little terrain bits always ended up being used in gaming more often than the monsters, come to think of it! I kind of wish more miniature manufacturers included little bits of random terrain like that. Come to think of it, those RAFM Call of Cthulhu terrain bits would fit right in with this Trench Crusade terrain, too. - just the right sort of thing to put in a little shrine or other small terrain piece, and usually the sort of thing that wouldn't be hard to make "from scratch" in most cases, either: a skull and bones mounted on a stake, a little rune-carved stone slab or pillar, that sort of thing: sort of like the shell in this video, but more primitive and weird. For scratch-building this sort of thing, a little scrap foam or left-over bits of wooden dowels or stir-sticks or skewers, bits of cut-up skeleton minis, scrap from 3D print supports or "happy accidents" from failed 3D printing, unused bitz from multi-part mini kits (which always seem to include more heads than anyone ever actually needs, plus lots and lots of shields and weapons, such as nice, spiky spears or lances), broken toys, unusable/unloved minis from your reject bin, and that sort of thing could go a long, long way toward becoming the centerpieces of little quick-subject terrain bits of this sort! Scale modeling back in the '80s also supplied modelers with great little "battlefield accessory" kits that usually included things like sandbag walls, barrels, oil drums, fuel cans, ammo boxes, machine guns on tripods, tank obstacles, little guard shacks and barricades, road signs, telegraph poles, and that sort of thing - any of which could also provide centerpieces or supporting material for quick little terrain builds like this video's shrine. These days, plastic "dungeon dressing" of this sort are even easier to find! (What do you get when you start with a barrel, one of those crucifixes from the video, and an extra skull from a 28mm wargame skeleton army kit? The start of a low-effort, high-impact bit of atmospheric battlefield/dungeon terrain that can probably finished in an afternoon while watching KZbin or binge-watching your favorite show.....)

[@hagdig4591]

I actually loved this project, super intimate! Never feel bad for doing the best you can at any given time, non of us will complain that you managed to keep to the upload schedule :)

[@Kiddarri1729]

small quick crafts are awesome and they can be just as epic and amazing as large scale projects. Take care of yourself and get well soon NURGLE'S BLESSING BEGONE FROM THIS VESSEL!

[@CronosVids]

This quiet build was a joy to watch. A nice change of pace.

[@x1BULLETfromABOVE1x]

More small crafts like these please, love it

[@chachachazki]

The same!! So creative!

[@igorsartorato]

Agree 100%!

[@AlexRamos-nr5cj]

I loved this project! We need to see the demonic shrine now! Hopefully you recover soon, please take care.

[@insomniacg]

Aww, they made their bullet a lovely little house, that's adorable

[@ryansullivan5854]

I give you credit for grinding out a craft when you're under the weather. I've started using a lot more craft sticks in my builds these days - it really adds to the look. This little shrine turned out great.

[@motherreaper7287]

I absolutely adore this, the smaller details really bring a piece to life, and this kind of thing would have absolutely skipped my mind.

[@D13Hobbies]

Sorry to hear you're under the weather, but glad you're on the mend. Thanks for sharing your shrine with us!

[@MonkeyJedi99]

Get well soon!

[@zioGrave]

[me watching the giant tower being assembled out of thin air] Your channel is awesome the way it is and it can't get any better than that [starts dropping amazing Trench Crusade builds at an incredible rate] I lied

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Thanks 🙌

[@alankelly1001]

That was a great accent piece. I particularly like the little build up of rubble inside the back of the shrine. Hope you feel much better soon.

[@kierdalemodels]

Yes, that’s an excellent little touch.

[@spiridiums]

I came down with covid a few days ago so we're suffering together 😭Don't ever feel bad having to take it easy, I'd much rather you get as much rest in as you can. (But I do appreciate you giving me something to watch while I'm recovering haha)

[@DaleTrevors]

Modern day crusaders, literally. Gotta admire your dedication to consistent uploads even when you're under the weather. Be strong, J.

[@jideru]

Sadly a necessity for any KZbinr, otherwise the Tube punishes swiftly and hard☹️

[@fredcrist7045]

I really like it when you do these simple projects. Once in a while, not everytime, but it nice to coast once in a while. I'm headed to Hobby Lobby right now to stock up, for projects like this.

[@gsroodbergen12]

Thank you as always for your crafting rain or shine. Loved the little behind the scenes look at your cleanup and product photo setup. At first I was like what is he doing, then I was like oooohhh, that's different and I like it. Definitely some of the natural feeling to it, and not like we are watching some big box production, but a simple reminder that you are human and almost like our distant youtube screen buddy.

[@rossblaszczyk8238]

This was really soothing.

[@Stanty16]

You applying glue to the base and just straight up scooping it into the box of stones/grit hit the "Why didn't I think of that?!" part of my brain! Absolutely keeping a mental note of that for next time I'm working on mini bases

[@pietrayday9915]

Apparently it's an old wargame mini basing trick going back a long way, but I somehow missed it for decades, too. Maybe you already know or thought of some of the following tricks, but just in case, I came across them relatively recently, and thought I'd share: These days, I've been saving all the little scraps left over from tripping flash and clipping sprue and other little bits and scraps from my minis and scratch-build projects for this sort of purpose, along with bits of cut-up sprue, cut-up Evergreen styrene plastic railroad modeling rods (like I-beams, tube "pipes", and plank-like strips) and so on, which can be mixed up with pretty much anything to be used as basin rubble. Chop up bits of the plastic from "bubble packaging" that lots of stuff is sold in for broken bits of machinery or vehicles, and ruined building materials, too. Rectangular sprue can be chopped into loose bricks or into broken 2x4 boards or other ruined framing material, while round sprues can be chopped into lengths of pipe or into poles - a box of wargaming minis usually yields plenty of sprue and trimmed bits of "rubble" to work with! I've seen modelers using cheap counter-top electric blenders or coffee grinders to chop up these sorts of bits with and/or add a little weathering, used carefully in small bursts until the desired effect is achieved, it seems to work great. Another trick is to buy a hard-plastic, multi-part, 28mm wargaming skeleton army boxed kit - usually these kits (such as the one made by Wargames Atlantic) include enough bits for a couple-dozen skeletons with shields and weapons and probably some helmets too, at under US $2 a skeleton, plus a fist-full of left over optional arms and skulls. These skeleton bits and their gear can be cut up into individual bones and mixed into your basing material and rubble for a little extra "grim-dark" battlefield atmosphere, and a box of them will go a long, long way for this purpose.

[@Zeitgeyst]

I love the small projects to most! No need for always be bigger. So here is my comment-support:)

[@YawdroGaming]

Love watching you craft. Thanks for soldiering on for us!

[@Dastanian-q8p]

I thought it was actually really refreshing to have a video like this! Great build!!

[@neuzd]

That was a really cute and fun build. I'm all for small colourful pieces, they can have a lot of character.

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

I wish you a quick recovery. Love that shrine, pretty cool.

[@sapientunderground]

SO glad to see the whiskers return!

[@JacobMorris-g3v]

Get well soon pal 👍 thanks for the upload despite u feeling like crap.

[@PhilSNight]

Havent watched this channel in a while. Glad to be back. That was a cool little build. Reminds me of the vids when you first got started.

[@Tonz_of_Fun]

Heck yeah! I'm glad I suggested this in a previous video. This is a perfect reason to build one of these shrines.

[@billhaigh312]

Dude, this was Sick!! this form works with simple builds. like to see more of them. This was awesome.

[@mattahlschwede4810]

Cool project. Get well soon!

[@kierdalemodels]

That was really, really cool. I love these small thematic builds. They add a lot to the look of the battlefield. And get well soon, man!🙏

[@Crafterman535]

Currently sick wathcing you be sick and still build stuff. What a legend

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Sick

[@photogfrank2146]

Great job, man! Thanks for the video, and get rest and get well! We all appreciate your dedication and love you for it! This is why yours is the best channel on the internet! Two thumbs 👍 up!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I appreciate it!

[@PUBHEAD1]

Happy New Year Jer. Looking forward to another year full of awesome builds and inspiration.

[@Reskul]

Wow. I am amazed how good it looks already before painting! Obviously it's soo good with your paint job, but the fact that it's made out of wood and the rubble on the ground are real stones(or look like real stones) makes it kind of usable even without painting

[@calebjtv]

get well soon! I love these shrines, scratch building is awesome man.

[@birchellgoldston9977]

Nice chill video, hope you feel better quick!

[@christyrogers7707]

That little shrine looked brilliant! Cool objective marker or as terrain.It might have been a small end product but I sure it took plenty of time. Feel better soon 👍

[@bongo7378]

even just this is SO interesting i loved this hope you get better soon :]

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Craftlngo]

I wish you a speedy recovery! I like theses small builds.

[@IndigoWraithe]

Get well soon! This was a neat little build, and the video had just nice, chill, relaxing vibes and focused on the crafting. The music choice was great, too.

[@charlesarney]

I am sorry you are sick. Get better soon. Love your stuff.

[@Mara999]

Really cool! If the shell was still removable, then this could also be used as a regular roadside altar, because it looks that good. Those little crucifix-beads look very useful, so I need to get a hold of some. :)

[@wolfgangxstudios8766]

A nice and small build, could be perfect for objective markers or just scattered terrain. Also, I know how you feel I’m also sick and it sucks! Hopefully you get better soon.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

I also like that with a swap of what you put in place of the artillery shell, it can fit in all sorts of games. A public data terminal from before the corporate wars, a small font of water for travelers to wash their hands on a pilgrimage, a roadside shrine visited after a party successfully defeats the monster in the mountains...

[@kattclaw]

Hoping you feel better soon. Love the build and loving the epic cello.

[@Hobbyrepubliken]

Get well soon! You should build some terrain that can function both for Torment and Trench Crusade

[@Shadoweyed09]

Bud, get some rest. I appreciate that you put something out, but keep yourself and your health in focus. Side note, I do a lot of painting and craft while sick, mostly because I can't sleep it off, but take care of you (and as an American jealous of the Canadian system), get well soon.

[@capnskustomworks]

It IS interesting, and excellent! Love seeing your collection grow!!!

[@buddhajim]

Really love this build really nice crafting and music 💓✌

[@Leonard-e8w]

Big fan of your usual videos, but watching you make something without narration was super chill. You could re-edit some of your videos in this style and make an "Ambient TV" playlist. I'd watch that on repeat! Anyway, keep up the great work and get well soon. Greetings from sunny East Kildonan!

[@Blackadam01]

Awesome little build!! Get well soon & thanks for posting while sick!🎉

[@nathanelacey]

Great stuff as always! Loving the trench crusade stuff! Get well soon!

[@chachachazki]

What a cool little build!!! Love your creativity even when you're down! Hope you feel better soon!

[@derrickbennett935]

Absolutely loving these trench crusade vids

[@JKevinCarrier]

Maybe not the most ambitious build you've ever done, but definitely adds a cool bit of lore and flavor to the setting! The idea of a shrine devoted to an artillery shell reminds me of that old Planet of the Apes movie, where the mutants are worshipping an atomic bomb..! Feel better soon!

[@SilverSword1]

Turned out great! Great things come in small packages!

[@TheRealEvil5teve]

Still a good video. Nice to see the little projects like this. Character pieces made of simple material. Go rest. You gotta take good care of you.

[@Mistwind91]

I hope you will recover fast. Thank you for the video even though it must have been hard to get into creative mod.

[@NickMagoteaux]

Commenting for algorithm! You rock! I love your videos!!

[@evanhughes7609]

Great build and a suitably introspective soundtrack 😊

[@dganim9196]

great video Jeremy- Thankyou. I hope you feel better soon

[@WilliamBraun-kw5jo]

Was a nice piece of scatter. Thanks for Taking the time even though you're no feeling well

[@cerisekappes580]

I’m in the same boat with strep throat. Feel better 😊😊😊

[@cashadolph9052]

That was cooler than you think. Scatter is always awesome.

[@euansmith3699]

I hope you get well soon, Mr Pillipow. This is a great, bijou build. I like that the shrine looks as though the faithful put some effort in to making it. Those nail-art charms are a great find. Nicely plaignent choice of music, too; fitting the creepy vibe.

[@shadowcat6lives639]

Feel better brother! Props to you for pushing through. Loving the build

[@bluekiwi42nd12]

It was nice to watch you work through the build especially the full painting process

[@cygnar2006]

Don't feel bad. I'm currently infected with plague as well and I can't even look at my projects, let alone start a small one and film it. You'll get nothing but kudos from this direction!

[@CCMinis]

Feel better, great lil build

[@woah77]

That was a really nice build and an impressive show of skill.

[@ched---]

Great stuff. Hope youre feeling better soon!

[@dinonut80]

Great tenacity man. Awesome little project. Could anyone else hear a bit of Bill Murray in Groundhog's Day saying "Well, it's crafting day ... Again." Lol

[@dinonut80]

The 600 mm artillery shell of Antioch! 'Tis one of the sacred relics Brother Maynard protects! Brother Maynard!

[@Weez-2_The-Beez]

I’m still surprised that nobody has mentioned the Holy Hand Grenade or paid homage to it yet but regardless this build is simple and effective so let’s all give praise to the Holy Artillery Shell instead 🤘

[@nicholasmactavish]

Love this lil project, thanks for doing it. Now rest good sir.

[@spoonz202]

feel better man. glad you're still enjoying trench crusade. I build exactly 0 terrain pieces a year. the closest i get is doing a texture roller on some green stuff smashed to a base before i paint it. I still come and watch every video. thanks.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Appreciate that!

[@kerryoneill1210]

love the detail, hope you get better soon!

[@tanker7107]

Thanks Jeremy! I hope you recover quickly! I know this video's retention rate is going to be horrible, but I really enjoyed it!

[@iggyargy]

Cutting the glue scrapings towards yourself got me screaming “HEED WHAT YOU DO!”

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

It’s completely safe.

[@adamdews1728]

Well done Sir, well done. Get Well soon.

[@paulshri8609]

Hope you get well soon. Nice little build 👌

[@joevonseelen7416]

Unrelated to this specific video, but I just wanted to mention that I got the project you made in the Sewer Rat Diorama video off of your site a bit ago and am loving it! :) That video was one of the biggest factors/inspiration that got me to start 3D printing minis a few years back and it's super cool to be able to see the little diorama in person. I even went and got the Archvillian Games set that had the same rat and attempted a FDM print of it back then. 😅

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

That’s great! I’m very glad it arrived safely and that you like it 🙌

[@diyfireking]

Outstanding work ✨✨

Hey, no need to apologize for this video. It was wonderful! I feel like your Trench Crusade builds have all been fantastic. This reliquary really reminded me of the art of Al Farrow, I think you should look him up if you haven’t seen him before.

I’ll check him out!

Get well soon, old Friend ❤

[@Sad_Old_Goth]

Get well soon my guy

[@jamesnielsen3099]

Feel better soon

[@brianartillery]

Great stuff. Strep throat is the worst. Here in the UK, we've had several flu type things on the go. Get one, get 'better' and immediately go down with another. Not fun at all, and a guarantee of a ruined Christmas. Love that shrine, though - it made me think of 'Beneath The Planet Of The Apes', where a thermonuclear device is worshipped. Those figures you show at the end are very reminiscent of the holy troops used by Torquemada in Mills & O'Neill's simply mind-blowing comic strip 'Nemesis The Warlock'. Torquemada's credo is: "Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!"
