Warhammer Old World Terrain Tutorial - Ruined Medieval Rowhouses - MORDHEIM, D&D, Frostgrave, Warcry

[@BrownLikeTheColour]

This is hands-down your best build video to date by a very long shot. Not only are the techniques you used incredibly accessible to all levels of hobbyists, but your final product punches WAY above its weight in terms of the cost and effort required to pull it off THIS level of quality. There are also a number of different directions your audience could take this to truly make the build their own, and fit into their own fantasy world. I strongly, strongly encourage you to keep going in this direction for your content. Grimdark is all the hotness right now, and there’s no better way to explore that aesthetic in a fantasy setting than Mordheim.

[@MoonhareStudio]

Living in a house that was built in 1406 from oak beams infilled with wattle and daub I can tell you this model build looks amazing as a representation of a medieavel street scene. I've picked up lots of tips for my own Mordheim buildings. Thanks - Darren

[@frocat5163]

"Just like frosted tips are coming back..." Yep. That earned a sub.

[@madnessbydesignVria]

I like the way you gave just enough structure for stability, while leaving it just open enough for playability. Well done! :)

[@Isdezenaambezet]

My friends and I built a whole city with that bricklaying technique about 12 years ago. Eventually I just switched to etching bricks into the foam, that was much easyer and faster. It also tended to last longer as the bricks had a tendency to crumble a bit.

[@shaneflickinger]

Man Eric, the detail and complexity of your builds always leaves me speechless. Your videos are such a delight to watch! On another note, I hope mullets are coming back the same as frosted tips because I have a pretty good one going thanks to the quarantine. Cheers sir!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Mullets never left!

[@MaryBlakeMorehouse]

Really well done! I love hobby videos that leave me thinking "I could do this!"

[@BionicPerry1970]

So, after watching your latest Mordheim video (about the new game you've been invited to, Oct 2022), I had to go back and rewatch some of these older ones. Fantastic as usual. The one thing that I did not seem to realize the first time I watched this two years ago, was that you did not prime the terrain before painting it! You just slapped that paint on! Interesting... Anyhoo, I love watching your work. I was a patron for a while but had to drop a few months ago because of financial constraints, but maybe it is time to join once again! I do love your videos, old and new.

[@kallisto9166]

Nice work Eric! These look great. For what it's worth, here in the UK at least, they've started making XPS in black. It's a godsend for any brick-based build, because with the pink or blue stuff, no matter how assiduous you are with your painting, there's always a bit of the base colour that shows through, usually in the cracks between bricks. Black foam deals with that and also guards against later damage revealing the foam.

[@TinyThingsTutorials]

It is so satisfying when a simple dry brush is like a magic wand and everything everything becomes realistic looking

[@tituspainting]

Absolutely outstanding, a pure joy to watch! Love how you used these 'old' techniques and reinterpret them! Chapeau Sir!

[@AdamViklund]

I love this so hard! I've been playing so much lately to play test a treasure hunt rules set I'm writing. It's the best! Mordheim for LIFE!!!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Sounds cool Adam! You might have to share those treasure hunt rules with me once you are satisfied with em

[@Draculord666]

Your terrain is the perfect mix of being accessible enough while still having such a great end result, keep it up, dude!

[@TomJones0065]

I did watch this video when it first came out, BUT it sure hit home on my learning more about these type of builds, I have been "or use to " make Fairy houses, and have found my path leading more toward these types of builds, I did make one for my Nephews Kids, THEY LOVED IT! So, this IS MY PATH! Thanks for Clearing the road for my BRAIN! YES MORE OF THESE TYPE OF BUILDS! I SAVED IT for Many MANY MORE times to view it!

[@MichaelAlthauser]

This is awesome. Love that you used probably less than 10 different types of material, all of which is pretty readily available. Great reference video for anyone looking to make a medieval-style town board.

[@poseidonswe]

Why is your videos so much more packed of good contrnt where the others often miss this aspect. Very impressed with the usefulnes or just how much to learn from your vodeos even as experienced model builder!

I have just discovered your videos and am really enjoying watching you create. As a fellow Mordheim resident, you have inspired me to at least attempt to create some genuine scenery instead of upturning random things we find about. Please consider doing a BloodBowl stadium.

[@dominiccruz1201]

I especially liked this built featuring a tutor style house. I would like to built my version that is not damaged. I've taken notes on your built and would implement a few of your techniques to create my small mansion. I enjoyed watching your built this house and appreciate all the work. Thank you for sharing.

[@modelermark172]

Laying layer upon layer of individual brick/stone is quite tedious, but understandable since your goal was to create ruined buildings with a detailed interior. As with much of model building, patience is the key, and there is no "Royal Road" to getting the look you want. Excellent work!

[@DBUP-l8h]

It's my 3rd time watching this video and I'm sure i'll watch it many more times - keep it up my dude - you are a chamion!

[@dougsundseth6904]

Very nice effect, especially the woodwork. If you want glass in some or all of those leaded windows, try acrylic gloss medium: set the mesh on wax paper and paint the medium in heavily and let it dry. Surface tension will keep it attached to the mesh. You can even stain it if you want. FYI, "basswood" is pronounced like the fish, not like a musical instrument.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Doug, sounds like a cool technique i will play around with that someday. As for pronunciation, I knew that once and somehow forgot while filming. Cheers

[@dougsundseth6904]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Depending on the viscosity of the gloss medium, you can also often "glass" the openings when the mesh is upright. But it can be a pain to keep it upright until the medium dries. If you lay the window down on wax paper, the look is a bit different but you don't have to worry about orientation. As to pronunciation, at least we're not talking about "Drow" (which rhymes with "bow" ... one way or another 8-) ).

Awesome. Looks great. Looks super medieval-urban. Fabulous final product. The lintels need to be wider than the doors and windows though, or else they don't serve the purpose intended ... says pedantic me. But thanks Eric. Inspirational.

[@valkyriesardo278]

Consider a collection of lazy susan turntables in various sizes. They come in handy for rotating a model in progress so you can avoid manhandling it when painting or before the glue has hardened. Also consider a raised cake pedestal for the same purpose. That will help you work in better comfort when you need to see nearer to eye level and can keep your hands steady by resting elbows on the table.

[@paulgibbons2320]

Wow that's one perfect build. Very very impressed man. That would take. A Frostgrave board to another level. 10/10. If you could do a walk through of the materials you plan to use before the build. That really helps on a vid. But one faultless peice.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Duuuuuuuude. Nice build man. Btw how far did you make it through The Wheel of Time? I think I got to book 7 or 8 and had to stop lol. First few were so good. But yeah, that’s an amazing build Eric.

Don't do it. I think I got to book ten or eleven and couldn't remember who half the characters were. I read them one after another so it's not like I just forgot due to not having read the books in a while. You would need photographic memory to follow the books all the way. Like you said, it started off brilliantly then gets gradually more complicated and just not worth it. The Gaunts Ghosts and Gotrex and Felix books are brilliant fun.

[@isaactracy3118]

Great build man! I got hooked by your Necromunda builds but its great to see stuff like this too. I really appreciate your improvisational building style. One of my personal, and i think many other folks, road blocks is "analysis paralysis". Forcing myself to just START cutting or painting has been one of the biggest boons to my hobby productivity. Of course theres problems that you can create for yourself that way but if you know good techniques, spend the time, and arent afraid to do things over again most things are fixable. Even if it doesn't turn out how you wanted you still have one more piece of terrain than you would have had just sitting there planning it. I think your channel does a great job of showing that with a bit knowledge and technique people can make quite good looking terrain, off the cuff, so long as the effort is put in.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Isaac. The paralysis can be real! Sometimes I find myself just staring at the piece for minutes at a time, and the answer is almost always just push forward and you can change it if you don't like it. I hardly ever do
