Cheap and Fast DIY Bunkers for Warhammer 40k, Kill Team

[@minitzonthesun]

If I don't start making some sci fi terrain with all the crap I've collected over the years, you're gonna catch me on the next episode of hoarders (without the jugs of piss). These pieces look fantastic! The method of using gang boxes is so common now that it almost seems generic but with all the greebles you made the whole set look like a real baller setup. I hope you never stop doing vids.

[@WylochsArmory]

I shall not!

[@Rhinoplaysmc]

Inb4 piss jug nurgle terrain

[@CaravanCzar]

You could use the jugs of piss for tinting

[@JacobVoetberg1]

I love how you paint the gang boxes more creative colors, not just a metallic. really make them pop!

[@GeneJordan]

A light sanding of coarse or medium sandpaper on the gang boxes before gluing in the detail pieces will help the primer to be more durable and avoid scratching. Also, you can save money on these by looking for them at your local Habitat for Humanity Restore or other charitable used/excess building supplies store.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Great work! I picked a few of these up a few weeks ago and was meaning to make something out of them for a video but you beat me to it! They have a very interesting and futuristic shape.

[@WylochsArmory]

Please do that video!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Wyloch's Armory ok, coming up soon!

[@h347h]

I use shampoo or lotion bottles with rotating spout heads as gun mounts. I cut the tops off, glue some plastic card around it and mount some gun bits. Looks great and functions perfectly for a moving gun emplacement. Those would work great on top of those. You can use hot glue or super glue to look like welding lines to help create some extra detail too. You can magnetize and add and remove different scale doors too. Though that's a good video for you to do in and of itself. I don't think its super useful for most people though.

[@devlindecutler7525]

I loved this! This project and tutorial are perfect. I'm new to terrain building and this was an ideal project for me. It's one of the only times in my life when I could successfully create something that matched the video. What a wonderful introduction to the hobby!

[@wallpello_1534]

As an electrician I approve this message. My garage is full of them. Also these boxes come in shallow and deep so you and really mix sizes up.

[@rawwset]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees normal stuff and says "hey turn that upside down and repaint it. It will make a great house."

[@notreallydavid]

Welcome, brother...

[@rubencoronado7125]

I always have a hard time picking a color. This video has helped me tremendously. Thanks for the work you do. It really helps the hobby.

[@johnkelley9877]

They look great! I have seen some blogs that have had this kind of terrain and it is a very neat and inexpensive way to add structures to a game board. Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I will certainly watch it many more times.

[@Sanorace]

I love the different textures you've got going, and that paint job looks great.

[@jagelsdorf1385]

I love sci-fi terrain! You can get so creative with just about anything!

[@JohnSmith-un9fy]

And love the bunker bits at the end. I also don't know why I never thought to use that plastic canvas as a chain link fence. It's perfect.going to have to turn out some of that tomorrow. Lol

[@EdAllen]

Rewatching since I've been sitting on a bag of junction boxes for a couple years now, while I accumulated and 3D printed greebles. Think I'll do the project this weekend.

[@ubermoose5694]

This is awesome! I'd used a gang box as quick terrain before but never even thought about making it an actual part of my terrain. I will be doing these now, without a doubt.

[@TheGameCraftDragon]

Nicely done. Real easy and cheap. Quick table cover.

[@Wastelander2281]

No way. These look amazing, thanks for these ideas.

[@nixit11g34]

I'm flipping through KZbin Vids , I see your Video pics, awesome.. I made these about 3 years ago but love that you made a video on it!! Keep up the Awesome stuff. Like your Tomb of Horrors Series

[@JamesWilson-sg7im]

Glad you started showing Sci Fi terrain. Great job creating these.

[@emilflognoid1532]

I like that over brushing technique, would also work with very slight variations in the color over large surfaces to give it subtle depth

[@emilflognoid1532]

Fantastic! I’ve seen this before, but I’m making a custom Jawa sand Crawler and want to make some storage boxes on the interior for all their scrap… these would be perfect!

[@bryanswift6301]

You're terrain was very impressive up close at MACE! It made me want to make some even though I don't play scifi games.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx man

[@stellariangames8014]

Love the design. Very nice use of everyday items.

[@YourFriendlyNeighborhoodNinja]

Oh Heck Yeah Wyloch!!! This is one for the books. So fast and easy! Great Build! Time to go binge on some more Wyloch videos. 😆 Much Love Brother!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

You’re making me want to change the setting I’m playing in.

[@jacobmeritt]

I knew those puree pouch caps would end up being useful! I'll need to start nabbing those before they end up in the recycling.

[@byebyebuy]

You should try getting two gang box's and connecting each open end for a scifi prefab building. the long side with the squared protrusions could then become 'feet' for the prefab buildings where they would be stacked on top of each other when colonising a planet

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

you know doing electrical work with my uncle a lot I've always saw those things and thought about doing something similar like this. My uncle can get these in bulk for a discount because he does electrical work. So I can get these from him for cheaper. Thanks for helping me remembering about this idea I had with these.

[@sirguy6678]

Great video! Excellent use of “found items” to create fantastic terrain pieces

Wyloch you should open your next video with you drinking a brew and double taking at the camera man. Bring back the classics. Loving the channel still after these few years its still fun and great watching your vids. Keep up the good work man.

[@philhelm1318]

It can even be taken a step further with 3d printed greeblies. I've done just that for sci fi doors, windows, vents, control panels, etc.

[@ScratchBashing]

Great use of a very cool object!

[@duckmissile]

[@thehenchnerd216]

These look great i cant find ones that have as interesting shapes as these in the UK

[@euansmith3699]

Grrr! [Shakes fist at the internet] Over here, in the UK, our Gang Boxes are just simple, unadorned boxes; without all the interesting shapes and projections you get over there in the New World.

[@Slev00]

Am almost convinced it's the Americans using different words for things again. Much like how they call greyboard. "chipboard. Always confused as to what they call actual chipboard?

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

As long as you use gang box to refer to the boxes that hold light switches and plugs in walls, it’s the same thing. In Canada they are almost always metal as in most cases plastic like he used here us against national building codes, so you don’t see this type often. What you call chipboard (the wood stuff) is called particle board for the fine shaved stuff used in some cheap furniture (different than mdf) there is also OSB which you may call chipboard, large plywood alternative for construction. Google generally clears this sort of stuff up pretty quick.

[@robhamper6001]

@@Slev00 Depends on what you're calling "chip board". If it's the wood product that's similar to MDF only coarser, it's called particle board as well as chip board. OSB is sometimes referred to as chip board.

[@volatilesky]

One tip that's incredibly cheap - chalk. I get pastel chalks, super cheap and you only need a black, and one dark and a light brown. From there you can either take a stuff brush, scrub the chalk and then dry brush to apply cheap and easy dirt and grime. Or what I do, is scrape off and have a vial of the powder which I then liberally apply into recesses with a softer medium sized brush. My only warning is if you use a sealer clearcoat of some sort, brush away the excess pigment, and/or lightly apply the sealer in two thinner coats, as the chalk can clump up when made wet (or just apply it after sealing). You could use actual pigments that can withstand a sealer, but for terrain you'd go through way too much. I've done this to make fairly effective "wraithbone" terrain, and instead of painting I just printed out white and brushed on the pastel chalks lightly. The paint took the pigment so well I never bothered with sealing.

[@D1SCORDANT3]

These look really nice

[@robhamper6001]

Great job, Wyloch. Very impressive build for looks, speed and cost! I know what I'll be looking for, next trip to Home Depot! Question for you, why don't you use black granny grating instead of white? Might paint up a bit easier.

[@andyduncan770]

That's pretty badass

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks

[@JPGotrokkits]

@@WylochsArmory no problem! You have several different J-boxes in your video I see 1-gang, 2- gang, and I believe a 5-gang. the "gang' number refers to how many devices (switches or reseptacles or other electric doo-dads) can fit in the box. For example a single-gang J-box can fit one switch or receptacle, more as respects the number of "gang" in the box. I've been doing electrical work for near to thirty years, you should track down some Non-metallic flexible conduit, we commonly call it "Smurf-pipe" because of it's blue color. You can also find it in orange. There is also an Orange nonmetallic flexible conduilt which is designated for Low voltage cableing and it is called "interduct". There are also lightweight cable management tubes with a similar pattern on them. They are great detail pieces for tubing and pipes, you could slip some of those over areas of your promethium conduits and add another level of detail, as well as use them for pipes and ducts on buildings or sewer entrances. They have a ribbed surface to them, almost a corrugated look which is very sci-fi.
