Your channel and Eric's Hobby Workshop are probably the best I've seen as far as model/mini building and painting. Howl's Moving Castle was absolutely gorgeous. Though I would love to see the house from My Neighbor Totoro, like you did with Kiki's delivery service. Thank you both for such amazing content :)

[@Jsilveira309]

I am utilizing the comment section to help increase your interactions in a pretensions way to influence the agrorithiam. All jokes aside I love your work. Much of your terrain reminds me of the stuff games workshop used in there battle reports back in 2ed. Being that's when I got into miniature gaming every one of your video's leaves me giddy with nostalgia and has inspired me to start making terrain again.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I am pretty new to 40k, but played whfb all through my childhood so that era of 40k was burned into my brain as i skimmed past it in White Dwarf. Its nice to dive into it now because its still totally new and fresh for me

[@annatoronova7361]

Just got back into the hobby three months ago, painted up a nice looking plague marine squad, and i stumbled across your cardboard tower video and after that I have been hooked. I love your videos, and im well on my way with a list of supplies I want to order from amazon so that I can try myself to make something simple, but with your cool detail technique and ideas. Cant get enough of these, Loving it man, keep it up!

[@saucercrabzero]

Another great build! I think a lot of times modular terrain isn't worth the effort to craft or purchase, as the fitment and hassle of pegs or magnets can be more trouble than they're worth, but for big, Line of sight blocking terrain, especially with a very simple, fast attachment point like you've designed here, I think you can get a ton of value and it stays fresh for just a little effort and planning. Would love to see some wyloch style clip-ons for this system, in addition to the larger buildings you mentioned. Keep up the good work!

[@CDClarke]

Seconded, would love to see expansions and add-ons to this project

[@tabletoptrilobite9816]

Totally gonna do this with my imperial fists. The true masters of fortifications!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Heck yeah! If I hadn’t already painted all my intercessors res i would have done one up in IF yellow just for this video

[@Smaakakor]

But wouldn't the fisty bois then have learned the fortifications from the blood angels and therefore the Blood angels would be the masters of fortification?

[@tabletoptrilobite9816]

@@Smaakakor not necessarily. If they completely altered their doctrine to use the blood angels tactics, yes. However, if they just adopted it alongside their own tactics, similar to what the ultramarines do, then the fisty fellas would remain as the masters.

I'd like to utilise the comments positively to say this is a great project. I hope it gets a lot of utilisation.

Great video. The relaxed style on KZbin is an oasis. Excellent tips and attention to detail. Looking forward to the Titan progress. You kicked off a lot of ideas for me, appreciate it.

[@zuupcat]

Man, I really enjoy the flow of your videos. They‘re always so relaxing while yielding really awesome results!

[@rujv200]

All you need is some awesome siege implements for those ramparts... some gun-line defenses, gun and ammo racks/caches, radar or comms array. Even better if they are modular. Maybe add some grates here and there and pipes. They always go well in sheer concrete buildings.

[@wrath3470]

That looks sick on your new desert table!!!!

[@UnkleKlumsy1353]

Looks great! Now, it just needs a little "Flash" I'm sure some friendly local Orks will help with that Nearby Warboss: "Dem beakies is so nice, makin me up a cozy lil Fort. Fink I'll name it "Kamp Krusha" once I mash up da tin can humies inside"

I've been building a blood angels army and I guess that algorithmed me to this video but man is this amazing. I can't wait to settle down a bit and really get to build something like this for my own games.

I love how it interlocks. Such a cool idea

[@CDClarke]

The lighting behind your head makes you look like some kind of saint of DIY terrain, I choose to believe it was an intentional artistic choice. Keep up the great work :)

Nice system for the walls. I like things that are modular. Thanks for the tip on the caulking gun. Hopefully I will remember this the next time I use one.

[@rottenmeat5934]

If I had been taught geometry that way, I'd remember more.

[@nathanreynolds4378]

These are really fab! Reminds me of Warhammer (40k) Siege games back in the 90's!

Nice build! I would like to compliment you, the way you are making these videos is getting better and better. You have a natural and relaxed way of presenting, keep up the great work!

[@Henrya11]

Love the old school vibes from this, the breach is amazing!!!

[@SH-qs7ee]

All ot needs is a trip to the bitz box; Imperify it up with a few aquilas, add a some skulls; maybe even a reliquary built in above the gate with the bones of some of the honored dead in it. Maybe even a few purity seal attached to the gates themselves.

[@Karpple]

What a good job, it gave me ideas to do something similar for my Ultramarines army and complete my strength of my Astra Militarum army.

[@weirdboybob]

I've subscribed to your channel for a awhile. I have to say your modular wall system is the best I've seen. What I like about it is that it's simple enough to replicate and your able to add detail through paint and texture. I just need to figure out how to add stairs to the backside of the wall. Thank you for this build. I look forward to making it.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Stairs on the backside are coming in part 2!

Glad you are back. I am so happy I found your channel last year. The way you make budget and easy access materials look so stunning is amazing. I also really like to just listen to your videos while hobbying because you are hands down one of the chillest people I ever watched on KZbin. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@DarkKnightCuron]

Happy New Year! That piece looks fantastic--all of your terrain has a personal touch to it that ends up far more appealing than whatever GW sells these days. I really need to get some supplies together so I can make stuff like this during my downtime--projects like these really seem to come to life in front of your eyes, you know? As always, wonderful work!

Looking forward to more follow ups on this piece, such a cool project!

[@thedyingmeme6]

Badass man! I’m new to the tabletop RPG crafting scene and have just finished my first castle set-a small modular keep, gatehouse, and a series of wall and corner pieces. It was pretty time consuming but worth it. I WAS going to take a break and make some smaller terrain or scatter pieces, but I now I wanna make what you just made lol. Maybe some day! Good job and awesome crafting!

Awesome project and great video - I love how you take the time to show exactly how you put things together, how you cut, glue, and include all those little tool tips about glue etc. Makes it really helpful as a tutorial for beginner/intermediate crafters as well as great inspiration for experienced crafters. Looking forward to seeing where you go with clip-on stuff! This shape is simple and generic enough that I guess you should be able to make it work for all kinds of settings/factions with some smart, appropriate detailing. Could be Necromundan or Ork or even AoS, I bet.

Dude, that's so dope! But You know what it needs, tho?... Clip-on features! Reinforced Armor plates to further hide the troops, banner mounts... maybe even platforms !? Loved it as always :) Thumbs up!

[@taymcmillan4463]

I love the walls and especially the gate! (As I'm a BA player too) I have a video idea you may like: A review of the use (utility) of each of your terrain after you played with it. Eg. Was the raised belcony ever used or was it too small. Was the line of sight blocking useful, or is this specific one better for necromunda. This may create idea for further conversions or problems to be solved. Love your videos and keep it up

[@supervike1]

Your dry sense of humor works perfectly.

[@diegoivan685]

Eric feels like the Bob Ross of Warhammer

[@Ithorhun]

Next time you have to make a hexagon, it much faster if you start with drawing a circle, then drawing a line through it's centre. This way you get 2 opposite corners of the hexagon. Now you can use these two corners to draw 2 half circles from, with the same radius. Each of these half circles will give you 2 additional corners of the hexagon you're looking for.
