Old World WARHAMMER Ruined Tower for MORDHEIM! Terrain Tutorial! 🗼

[@DevsDice]

Hey folks! This video is all about taking some trash and turning it into some good looking terrain! These towers are going to be a part of my future board for Mordheim but as always the techniques can be used for D&D, Warhammer and Frostgrave! Please feel free to tell me what you think of the build! Stay safe and lots of love! 👍💙💛💙

[@chimera916]

Dear Leif, love you so much from Italy, my husband and i love to watch your videos. It's incredibile how you are able to create ART from everithing. A true master. 😊❤.... Thank you soo much for your amazing videos

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Expanding the tube was a nice trick! I need to play some Mordheim, i miss it! Well done Leif

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Eric! I really appreciate it! Yeah changing the size of it really made it quite easily not look like a Pringles can! You should play if you can for sure! Just finished my 4th game with my Reiklanders this evening! 👍😃

[@NatesMiniatures]

You did very well, and even though you told me in our many voice chats that you used trash to make the tower I did not believe you. Amazing work man, I learnt something new with this one.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you Nate! Yeah it turned out pretty good! 👍😂

[@thepenismightier]

The thumbnail made me doubtful. Yet another tutorial on turning a Pringles can into a tower, who cares? After watching your video, I care. That is some very impressive work. Well done.

[@DevsDice]

Hahahahaha! I echo that fear James! 👍😂 Glad to hear that I did not disappoint in the end! 👍😅

[@ChickensTabletopCrafting]

Really cool..... as always. I like the style of your Buildings. In my opinion a little bit of comic and retro. I absolutely love that 😍 Greets Chicken

Thanks Chicken! I try my best! 👍😅

[@Atmoseeker]

These turned out amazing! 🔥 Big fan of upcycling waste into terrain. I love all the textures. Fantastic job mate!

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Sebastian! I appreciate it a lot! 👍😃

[@ItsYoji]

What did you use to do the crossed wire insert of the windows? They just appear in the video without explanation and I think they look great so I'd like to do this as well some time.

[@DevsDice]

Ah! Those might be the LEGO windows I use in a lot of my builds! Check the description and you can find an URL and part number etc! 👍😊

[@SebastienlovesCookieswirlc]

Very cool build. Only (very minor) personal point: I believe the floors were supported by diagonal beams to help distribute the weight, kind of like primitive buttresses if you will. The ruined floors could have benefitted from something like that.

[@DevsDice]

Thanks for that tip Sebastienblaue! 👍😊

[@TheEnd]

Hope you’re doing well Leif, thanks for the video!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much! I am doing good! 👍😊

[@hugomuller2339]

Hi Leif 😉 It's an amazing Tower 😜 And a great idea too with the Pringles Box. I want to make a Diorama for my Mother's Birthday 😂 I need a Witch tower and i think that's the way 😂👍 Thanks for the Video Greetings from Germany See ya next time 🤘😜

[@DevsDice]

Hey Hugo! I hope you're well Sir! That sounds like an awesome present! Hope it turns out good! Good luck Sir! And remember, have fun! 👍😉

[@cptdabulous2847]

This looks amazing as usual. I love the way you made the pringles can into a larger tower, I wouldn't have thought of that myself. I've made a dicetower out of a pringles can, and I've had some ideas for a can-tower for my games, so I'll be borrowing that tip for the future!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Cpt Dabulous! Yeah making it larger really had two purposes, more space to move minis in but also changing the recognizable size! 👍😊

[@timothyyoung2962]

Man, that turned out great. I don't have much fantasy terrain, but all my sci-fi and post apocalyptic terrain is pretty much made of trash and old toys, just repainted and weathered to look the part.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Timothy! Oooh some day I will start including sci-fi terrain! Look forward to that challenge! 👍😁

[@10urion]

Pretty darn good-looking! I really dig the arrow slits! My go-to trash material right now is egg carton. The big rectangles you get from the lids is perfect as texture for either brick or for the texture on half-timbered houses. Just glue the sheet onto a piece of cardboard for stability and add stir sticks on top for the timbering.

[@DevsDice]

I agree Tenurion! Egg cartons are awesome! I actually just the other day gave that advice to someone looking to make some cobblestone bases for his warband! Thanks for commenting! 👍😊

Another great piece, I love all the recycling and that it is not identifiable as a Pringles tower!

Thanks Bo! That gatehouse sounds like an awesome build! I was contemplating on adding some ruined walls or something that I could have close to these towers! 👍😊

[@sindex]

Great looking towers! Do you know how thick the chipboard you're using is? 1 mm? 3 mm?

Thank you Sindex! You mean for the base? I am pretty sure it's 3mm! 👍😊

[@theycallmepiccolo9985]

I recently picked up the old gw how to make terrain book that I had as a kid (early- mid 2000s) purely for nostalgia sake now I've found ur channel and I NEED to build some buildings

That's awesome! I want to get a copy of that book as well! The nostalgia is strong in me as well! Welcome to the channel! 👍💙💛💙

[@rasmusrudnikhansen9616]

Awesome work and I really dig the sustainability angle you incorporated. It is inspiring, good for the planet and cost saving. Everyone has everyday objects that can be up-cycled if the inspiration is there. How ever I feel like you rushed the edit of this one. Normally, I find your videos relaxing and almost calming or cozy because you take your time and explain all details. This video could have been 20 min at least - judging by the project. Slow down man! We like spending time with you.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Rasmus! I agree with the sustainability, it is important! Well spotted when it comes to the editing, I have increased the pacing somewhat! Some seems to like it and other perhaps not! 👍😂

[@OreoPriest]

This clearly borrows very heavily from Eric's Hobby Workshop, and not even a word of credit or a shout-out. Hope you make this right.

[@DevsDice]

Well good morning to you too! 👍😂 The design is quite a classical medieval guard tower with arrow slits. Of course our builds are similar because they are the same thing. That being said, looking at how we approached it, I think it's quite different. Eric seemed to build it level by level and square, whereas I used a pringles can as a base. Also, no secret I love Mordheim, I think Eric does to so of course both are ruined. Have a nice day! 👍🙂

[@hauptsacheeinkanal3515]

Wow!!!! Super nice!!!! Love everything about it!!!! 🖤🖤🖤

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much! You're too kind! 👍😊

[@handaniel6139]

Love the videos a lot, quick question though, what kind of pain did you use as the primer when you started the painting proccess?

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much! Pretty sure I used black primer through the airbrush. In my case Vallejo Surface Primer! 👍😊

[@NewSquallor]

Splitting the bricks and putting them all on individually. How long did this actually take? You absolute madman.

[@DevsDice]

Hahahaha! Honestly, not THAT long, about 3-4 hours perhaps? 👍😂

[@niklasastrand5434]

Awesome! Another one that’s collapsed down to half height and a big rubble pile would also be cool!

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Niklas! See that's a great idea! 👍😉

[@salt7598]

Wow this is incredible! The only thing is, how long did this take you to build? After you factor in the cost of purchasing the necessary equipment and the time it takes to construct such a tower, I wonder if it would just be easier to purchase a finished product.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much! Yes I would say that it is always easier but I enjoy the creative process so. 👍😊

[@michimatsch5862]

I specifically kept a pringles can for a tower but inspiration hadn‘t hit yet. Well. Now it has.

[@DevsDice]

And that is why I make these videos! This is wonderful to hear! Go forth and build!!! And have fun! 👍😉

[@stevenferguson4787]

Do you cut the XPS foam bricks yourself out of foam board or buy them ready done? Fantastic collection of videos :)

[@DevsDice]

Excellent question Steven! I cut them out myself into 5x5x10mm sizes! 👍😊

[@prospero2000usa]

Haven't played Mordheim in about 8 years, but watching this video it occurred to me: Didn't I put a pringles can under my painting table way back then to make a tower of some kind. Poked around for a few seconds just now in the clutter under there - yep, pringles can. Been there almost a decade.

[@DevsDice]

Hahahaha! That's an awesome little story Jim! Hope you're getting that Mordheim feeling back now!? 👍😉

[@dubart5918]

I really like the tower, but cutting those lego pieces hurt my soul... Great video!

[@DevsDice]

Hahahaha! I can totally understand that! But I ordered about 250 of those windows so it makes the pain a bit less! 👍😂

[@627hjc]

Gosh, how long does it take to do brick-by-brick haha, so worth it, but my 9-month old will hate me for it XD

[@DevsDice]

Hahahaha! Let me tell you this H Caley, I have laid individual bricks for a 4x4 foot board. THAT took time, making a tower, well it takes some time but not as much as people think. About 2-3h perhaps? 👍😅

[@joshuacordle1059]

Hi Leif, love the video, I’ve been thinking of making some kind of tower with a Pringles can for a while. I was wondering roughly how long it took you to do one tower?

[@DevsDice]

I would say something like 2-3 evenings roughly. I mean once you've done one then you will pick up the pace for sure! 👍😊
