Make Quick and Easy Wargaming Bushes

[@DevsDice]

I hope that you enjoy this weeks build! These bushes will help you decorate your tabletop games in many situations and since they are modular you can easily combine them with loads of scatter terrain! Lots of love! Stay safe! 💙💛💙

sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

@Cason Waylon Instablaster =)

[@casonwaylon8780]

@William Derrick Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@casonwaylon8780]

@William Derrick It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

[@williamderrick974]

@Cason Waylon Happy to help =)

[@douglaspaul150]

These are pretty much the best and most realistic bushes and dense undergrowth I've seen made. Bravo!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you Douglas Paul! Happy you like them! Thank you so much! 👍🙂

[@Flamethrower1942]

"You must return here with a shrubbery... or else you will never pass through this wood... alive!

[@DevsDice]

Hahaha! Of course! Merely a flesh wound! ;)

[@flyingfishsauce]

Ni!

[@AnonymousUser-u5n]

i'm glad that you left them natural rather than pounding them with washes. looks great with the myconid mini. cheers.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! 👍😊

[@jacobhope6164]

Wow! Those shrubbery are fit for the Knights Who Say Ni!

[@DevsDice]

Hahaha! That is the nicest think anyone can say about these shrubberies! :D Thanks Jacob! 👍

[@kentellis5384]

Coconut fiber looked like Arizona tumble weed ...love the finale results! Nice video.

[@DevsDice]

I agree! Will keep that in mind when I get to the desert terrain! 😉

[@bryanboswell8333]

Fantastic bush making ideas very realistic. Also the techniques look as if they can be adapted to different scales, going to give it a go thankyou.

[@ellesse3862]

I've never seen bushes made with string or shrubs from coconut fibre, they look great and I bet not only light weight but also virtually indestructible. I'm going to have a go at these, they'll be great with my ruins and graveyard terrain.

[@DevsDice]

Please do! They are still being used quite often! 👍😁

[@luclin92]

I love the layer effect you got with the coconut fibers, looks great

[@DevsDice]

Thanks so much Kim!👍😊

[@tabletop.will.phillips]

Those turned out great. The "berries" were a nice touch.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Will! Yeah a spark of color in all that green and brown, plus like I think I mentioned, it will give my players something to potentially interact with. :)

[@blakec1924]

Great job! As much as I enjoy the straight painting videos, I really enjoy you doing these to show all sides of the hobby.

[@DevsDice]

Cheers Blake! Yeah I actually started with terrain when I really started getting into the hobby! I will of course paint minis as well going forwards but yeah terrain is fun! Thanks for enjoying the videos! :D

[@T1p2]

Awesome use of the silicon beads! Definitely gonna have to steal that idea lol

[@DevsDice]

Please do! They can also be used for water effects like I did in the dwarven fountain build! Versatile little things! :D

[@markozacar]

Those are EASY best bushes i ever saw!!

[@DevsDice]

Awww thanks Markozacar! :D I am happy you like them! :D

[@627hjc]

Love them, i will be making them for my Warhammer Fantasy table. PS. as an avid gardener i would call that string 'twine' :D

[@DevsDice]

Hahahahaha! Of course! I knew that but "in the heat of the moment" I tend to get a bit of a brainmelt! Thanks again H Caley! 👍😊

[@NatesMiniatures]

These turned out to be absolutely fantastic, loved the extra berries and or apples you added. Do we want to talk about your skill in applying them to the bushes?.

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Nate! Haha! Yeah right!? The trick is to have a moist brush! And if that doesn't work, then add some PVA glue :D

[@CardboardFishGaming]

if you use a baking tray or any other flat metal plate surface, use the hot glue on the armature then straight onto that, will pop off super easy and it will go cold super fast!

[@DevsDice]

Nice! Excellent advice! Thank you kindly! 👍😊

[@Artmesa]

jute twine / sisal rope. The latter is great for making cat scratching posts!

[@DevsDice]

Nice! Thanks for telling me! 👍😊

[@thehussar5604]

I love how organic these look. I've never seen anything quite like them on any other crafting channel. Subbed!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much for saying so The Hussar and thanks for the sub! 👍😍

[@MacAttack001]

To hold down light weight items for spray primer, I use temp double sided tape. :)

[@DevsDice]

Good advice! I need to get some double sided tape! Thank you! 👍😊

[@wendybrown7068]

The bushes and trees are AWESOME! I can almost see that T-rex? gnawing away on a carcass in the bushes. I'm going to try the trees and bushes although the thought of using super glue is a little scary. I'll try using pva glue. Oh! and that blue, multi eyed thing would give me nightmares but he's cool too

[@DevsDice]

Thank you Wendy! Hahaha! I am sure that the T-Rex is there somewhere! 😉 I think you can most likely use PVA but it will be a bit trickier! Good luck! 👍💙💛💙

[@Fnordathoth]

These bushes turned out very well, looks good!

[@DevsDice]

Cheers! Yeah simple but oh so effective! :D

[@janetcameron4652]

Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@DevsDice]

My pleasure! 👍😊

[@ForrTheXP]

Wow these shrubs certainly are Leif-like. I'm curious as to what those fruits would be in your world? As always it was a pleasure watching you work. Your poor hands will be sticking to things for a week.

[@DevsDice]

Haha! There we have it! :P Yeah I am not sure, might be different from time to time. Might even create a specific table that players need to roll in ;) Actually the glue wasn't the worst, was more the primer! :D

[@scottsarcanecraft379]

Wow those look amazing so realistic! Need to pick hop some of that coconut fiber. How did you chop it up so fine?

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Scott! As I think I showed in my Mordheim board build, I use a coffee grinder! 👍😅

[@jherskow]

Wow. Very nice How did you get/make the crushed coconut fiber for the bases??

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much! I bought these specific ones from IKEA and I grind them up in a coffee grinder!👍😊

[@RFDHobby]

Great work Leif, these turned out really good. A nice addition to the table for sure. Thanks.

[@DevsDice]

Cheers Shawn! Yeah these were quite simple and look nice in the end! Thanks for watching! :D

[@MarcinHumbla]

This type (I mean the second) would perfectly fit on some kind of swamp diorama :)

[@DevsDice]

That is very true! Good thing to remember cause making swamp diorama/environments is in the backlog! :D

[@earh0xable]

Those look great, I'm especially fond of the coconut fibre ones!

[@DevsDice]

Cheers man! Yeah coconut fiber is the best I have to say! Cheap also!

[@JoesphEKerr]

with the t-rex in the scene = RAWR!!!

[@DevsDice]

Hahahaha! Thank you so much Joseph E. Kerr! 👍😃

[@ronaldboal7500]

Your shrubbery is worthy enough for the Knights of Ni. Excellent job and video, as always. Now, I gotta finish painting that bloody mimic... ✌️🤓

[@DevsDice]

Haha! Yes! I can enter Valhalla a happy man now! Thanks Ronald!

[@MrVuvuzaala]

Another excellent video, good Sir! I will deffo be giving this a try! Nice selection of models showing the size comparisons; especially liked the 'Mushroom Man' one - I bet it was a 'fungi' to paint! 🎨🖌👌👍

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much King of the Mods! Yeah those were actually very simple and fun as heck! First time I deliberately did some wet blending! 👍😊

[@timjacobs9543]

If you have issues with spray adhesive: cover the bush in wood glue, then put the flock on top and let dry. let this soak up water/wood glue 50:50 mix. it dries transparent and stone hard.

[@DevsDice]

Hey Tim! Nice! Yeah that some solid advice there! 👍😊

[@timjacobs9543]

@@DevsDice Got this from an old vid on YT. that young guy did a huge scratch build forest for BattleTech. I thought it wouldn't work or will dry out white or so. but wood glue dries transparent and it worked every time.

[@wayofthewicked]

your content is wizard material and as a young apprentice, i've learned so much from just watching a bunch of your stuff. also, there is def, a therapeutic and really dark comic value to your content. i really enjoy your videos man! thanks a bunch :D

Glad to hear it young Master Wayofthewicked! It makes me so happy and comments like this is why I make KZbin videos! Thanks! 👍💙💛💙

Wow thats so good. And more importantly cheap af. Definitely a way to make some trees

[@DevsDice]

Thank you kindly! Yeah these came out nice! 👍😊

[@HouseDM]

Looks great Leif! I love the detail. Though I dont think my players need acess to anymore "Goodberries". Cheers!

[@DevsDice]

Hahahaha! Damn! Well perhaps these are some ...bad "goodberries"? :D You lose 1hp but feel like you gained two :D Thanks for the nice comment! :D

[@HouseDM]

@@DevsDice Hmmm thats actually a brilliant idea. Instead of feeling like you ate a full meal and gaining 1 hp, you suddenly need to eat one of your rations and lose 1 hp.

[@DevsDice]

There we go! That sounds like something interesting! And in case you have a ranger or druid in the party they might recognize the berries to be foul! :D

[@Pippi-Longstocking]

So basically. Flock mascara! Brilliant.

[@DevsDice]

[@benmetherell8118]

What sort of spray adhesive did you use? Is it a contact glue? Or a specialised terrain glue?

[@DevsDice]

[@photogfrank2146]

Really cool and inexpensive idea!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you Frank! 👍😊

[@Bluecho4]

Those trees or shrubs could also be left bare - no flock - to simulate dead or winter plants.

[@DevsDice]

That is very true Bluecho4! 👍😁

[@Liopot68]

If you like it natural, alongside big bushes you also need some hairy beavers...

[@DevsDice]

Kingsized lingonberry bushes. The string looks like hemp or fibers from the canabissativa plant so dont burn the bush ... or do it might be fun. Oh shit now some idiot probably gona try that and ill get the blame. Disclaimer burning hemprope or string will not get you high. Awsome as always bro.
