How I Made A BUNKER OF DEATH (Warhammer 40k/Necromunda Terrain)

Hi there :)
This is the very first crafting/modelling/kitbashing video for this channel, and it is for a grimdark-themed bunker build that is packed with little details. I have been making terrain for tabletop gaming for just over a year so I am very much still at the early stages of learning how to make things. As such, I rely a lot on the expertise of the many incredible builders that are already showing people like myself how it's done.
This build incorporates many different ideas and techniques, many of which were taken from the following KZbin channels, so please consider visiting them and subscribing.

Fantastic work!

[@thedefector]

Thank you :)

[@Zorpazorp]

This is a baller start to your journey man. Trento's bunker will never die!

[@thedefector]

Thank you!!

[@thedefector]

Who is Trento BTW?

[@Zorpazorp]

@@thedefector Miscast haha

[@thedefector]

@@Zorpazorp Hahaha. Yup. I probably should have figured that out myself

[@Thomas-tt4gz]

Good material for ladder's, handrail, ect is quarter inch mesh wire used to build rabbit/bird coops.

[@thedefector]

Oh nice one! Sorry I only just saw your comment. Thanks for the tip :)

[@Bluecho4]

Good work, and welcome to the world of terrain crafting. (The shell casings not matching Bolters is hardly a big deal. It's an Imperial bunker. It's been manned by everything from Guard and PDF militia, to gangs, to Sisters of Battle, to Chaos cultists or rebels, to Ork raiders. It gets passed around constantly. That there's a few shell casings is to be expected.)

[@AtreiusLux]

Great minds think alike, I've used those exact same spray can safety stoppers for gun turret bases for some Orky walls.

[@thedefector]

Lol! Yeah, thy're such a cool looking little plastic thingy. Definitely going to use them for other projects.

[@joeladkins1046]

Man that’s freaking fun!

[@rawcreative]

Good stuff Brendy ! Good to see the tradition for the movie stuff to this

[@marianlynch4829]

Well done ...you got some creative talent there .

[@thedefector]

Thank you :)

Looks GREAT! My Friend.

Suggestion, I use Some O scale Train Scenery to Accent My Scenery They Really Add A Creepy Apocalyptic Appearance. Keep Kit bashing, Dennis the Great,

[@csabahegedus1744]

At 10:42 that might be a part of a shaving razor, the kind that's meant to be used once. We have things like this at my workplace.

[@thedefector]

You're absolutely right! My misses spotted that the first time she watched this video. It's the cap of a disposable razor blade :)

[@rritchie4449]

I watch tons of terrain building, diorama, and anything hobby related. I rarely comment, but I wanted to let you know that I appreciate your videos. I enjoy your format and explanations - keep it up and I can't wait to see what else you do!

[@thedefector]

Thank you. That’s really kind.

[@drewbakka5265]

Looks great. Look forward to your future projects. Also don't shame yourself if you are inspired by someone or agrigate their work. Generally when I follow a tutorial I always end up changing things because either of a lack of supplies or a theme I want in my terrain at the time.

[@matieubissonnette3212]

Very inspiring stuff - looking forward to seeing more!

[@thedefector]

Thank you! I do have something pretty major planned. It's going to be a crafting series of videos probably lasting a couple of years, in which me and my daughter build a vast Necromunda gaming table. The idea is pretty daunting but we're just going to take one step at a time.

[@QuantumPetshop]

Spin shots are on point, wow! Nice work

[@thedefector]

Cheers bud. Those came out way better than I had hoped.

[@bronaghlynch5856]

Wow!! Impressive.

[@thedefector]

Thank you 💖💖💖

[@rikkiwazzerman3654]

Brilliant!

[@jakestaples8498]

Nice work!

[@SweenyMarc]

Another fantastic build. For the exposed edge of the corrugated card, texture paint and wash might be the way to go if you can't live with them being visible on the finished piece. Weathering hides all mistakes!

[@DanteFlint]

Quick tip from my end: If you want to pump out sand bags like a mad man, go grab some Blue Stuff and replicate the sand bags from the new Cadia Stands army box. They have the perfect size for Guard and have authentic details like seams and knots. You should definitely try that out some time! Other than that: Awesome work, I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel by accident - keep it up!

[@thedefector]

Hey thank you. ANd that's a great tip. I have been meaning to come up with a way of making more detailed sand bags

[@Weez-2_The-Beez]

Great job on the bunker man!! 👍 I recently found some sprues of terrain greeblees from a miniature game called Maelstrom’s Edge and they are packed with so many little details that I’m sure anyone who is looking for another bit to add to their terrain project will greatly benefit from!

[@thedefector]

Thanks bud! I might look into that myself. I do want to get a 3D printer at some point, but for now I’m trying to find detail pieces anywhere I can.

[@Ron_1967]

Absolutely amazing stuff, extremely well done for first build. And a very good description and video on how the process was. Hope you keep it going.

[@thedefector]

Thanks bud!

[@grantchittim]

I hope that you keep making more videos, this was fantastic! the breakdown of where things came from was great. I look forward to more.

[@thedefector]

Thank you! I had to take a slight break to focus on a podcast that I’m currently working on but I’m full steam now into the next video. It didn’t help that what I thought would be an easy project, has turned out to be far for difficult than I expected. But it will get done!

[@alextaylor8015]

amazing work and a really well put together video :D I love how you show what things made what :D

[@thedefector]

Thank you very much!

[@agaig9812]

Excellent work! I love that you explained what each piece came from. Keep em coming. I love scratch built terrain!

[@thedefector]

Thank you. That means a lot.

[@tinyfishhobby3138]

Really fantastic little build here! So many small little common household items repurposed.

[@thedefector]

Thank you!

Good luck with your new channel...lovely bunker you have there.

[@thedefector]

Thank you! Yeah lots of stuff in the pipeline for this channel. I’m currently working on my second video and I’ve a bunch of ideas for future projects.

Brilliant ideas done brilliantly! On an personal note,you sound like a countryman of mine. Are you a northerner who went south or a Dub who went north! Either way, you’re very talented😊

[@agromeron2346]

Epic!

[@thedefector]

Thank you! I've kind of gone into a bit of a rabbit hole (again) with the build I'm currnetly working on, but if it turns out half as cool as the bunker I'll be happy enough I guess.

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

Incredible. Subbed.

[@thedefector]

Ahh thanks mate. More incoming! I have another project that I’m trying to get off the ground so my current crafting project has taken a lot longer than I hoped. But thanks though bud. Really means a lot.

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

@@thedefector I can't wait. You opened up some doors in my mind as far as reusing old technology like wires and plastic odds and ends. Keep up the good work!

[@thedefector]

@@KevinoftheCosmos Yeah man, absolutely. I’m trying to teach myself genuine scratch-bashing, but it isn’t easy. Watching the masters do it is humbling. If you’re not aware, I strongly advise you check out Studson Studios on YT. I’ve never seen anything like it before. His scratch-bashed model of Howel’s Moving Castle is a thing of legend.

[@Gnomehunter]

That unknown plastic part on the outside seems to be a protective plastic sheeth/sheath (Sorry, not my mothers tongue) ..a cover of a razor.

[@Gnomehunter]

oops, nearly forgot it... Great work. I think i'll have a try on copying this.

[@Whitewing89]

What about the base? Is it card stock or something?

[@thedefector]

Great question! That’s one of the details that I forgot to cover. The base itself is chipboard that I took from the back of an old wardrobe. Once I had the shape that I was looking for I bevelled the edges with a knife. I then made a mixture of ready mixed filler, PVA glue, and black paint, with lots of sand and small stones added to the mixture. After that was applied to the base, and given time to dry, I painted it with a dark grey followed by a couple of layers of dry-brushed light grey. Hope that helps :)

[@lego1168]

How do you keep boards from warping?

[@thedefector]

I'm pretty sure the board for this was made from chipboard from the back of an old wardrobe. In my terrain builds video the bases were made from plasticard (at least I hope it is because that's what I've been telling people...) and I'm assuming that the texture mix that I placed on to the boards doesn't contract enough to warp anything. I would stay away from using card though. It doesn't like moisture at all.

[@Alice-sc2ry]

Boltguns are not actually caseless :)

[@cfcsvanberg]

You fool, you should have put the fancy stuff starting at 17:10 FIRST in the video to draw people in! Oh and the bunker is nice too I guess. Good job. But damn, put the cool stuff first next time.

[@thedefector]

Hello Fred. Did you read the text at the start of the video? No, of course you didn't. You're too busy flexing in the mirror.

[@cfcsvanberg]

@@thedefector i did but why take the risk of some poor sap not skipping your rambling drivel to get to the good stuff?

[@thedefector]

Perhaps my rambling drivel IS the good stuff? Or do you only find my voice sexy when I'm reading Carlton Mellick books?
