"To infest your home, garden or terrain.... table" How is it that Dana manages to make any sentence hilarious just with her delivery 🤣

[@EDSKaR]

".... Me neither." got me XD

[@twitchybristles]

The delivery of this entire video was gold. Sending this to a friend who plays and paints Tyranids, and I'll be hopping onto the Patreon as soon as I have money again.

[@TheLemonFox]

Dana's videos have just the best balance of great advice, realistic hobby process and slightly unsettling and completely unexplained horror elements. 10/10 would be consumed by the hive again.

[@CthulhusDream]

Your bone dry humor is definitely one of my favorite things about your videos, along with the sweet ass models and paint 💚

[@joshbecka6110]

With the amount of hot glue and bedazzling, i though this was a Wyloch video, then the pale sand came out. *takes a drink* Now I know this is a Dana Howl video

[@Dan-sh5rv]

lucky i have tons of cream cheese lying around, otherwise i'd have to go out and get this sculptamold stuff

[@DanaHowl]

its superior in so many ways

[@Solsys2007]

Very soon you will be able to smell the hive.

[@soupalex]

@@DanaHowl how does the hive mind feel about cream cheese with garlic and chives? i don't have any plain

[@Rotheric]

I love how your narration subtly highlights how this project slowly drove you insane.

[@DanaHowl]

Subtly

[@DaraM73]

May I suggest using a Duck/Heli-tape on the top of ones cutting blade, so that if the blade snaps, it’s retained within the tape along with the rest of the knife in your thigh (which has ricocheted off ones safety goggles).

[@brendanmatthews8236]

It's very important to film none of this.

[@Celticelery]

Instructions too clear, my neighborhood is now infested with Tyranids.

[@DanaHowl]

excellent

[@notreallydavid]

phone the council

[@paintandplayminis328]

its so weird how unpainted terrain looks like an amorphous blob of gunk trying to grow appendages and then the final product is a masterpiece. Awesome! That loot studios is a must see too!

[@ConjuredCraft]

Seeing it all come together with paint is just *chefs kiss*. This is excellent Dana!

[@Zyphent]

Thank you for the warning, I threw away the sculpt-a-mold bagel.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hehehehehehehe

[@SugarCandyMiniatures]

I try not to think about where tyranids live. Don't want the garden getting infested now 😆

[@poppyappletree1400]

Oh my god, can't believe Fiver is commenting on a Dana Howl video

[@SugarCandyMiniatures]

@@poppyappletree1400 oh now you can't bring the famous jokes into Dana's comment sections. She is much more youtube famous then i!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Those look really cool Dana, nicely done.

[@SpaceFish123-s1z]

Now we know what the castles of hive fleet bowser’s fury look like on the inside!

[@eifpr0n]

Living for this hot mess version of Dana.

[@maxbrandt6]

The terrain looks awesome, labor intensive but with great effort comes great results! This is sure to impress everyone at your local games store!

[@Vangelus]

honestly very clear and straightforward instructions, I've already destroyed every camera near my local jigsaw so there is no way to monitor or record my activities in its vicinity

[@ScratchBashing]

0:00 Constantly, Dana. *Constantly*

[@johnnycooper7019]

Dear Dana, I love your dry humour! Great tutorial.

[@OldZean]

Another advantage of cream cheese: it grows organic looking fuss that is the perfect stand in for realistic mold!

[@chucklemaster9809]

on one hand, it is funny when you point out mistakes you made and treat them as instructions, but on the other, I genuinely think that making mistakes like that *is* a part of the process of any project like this, and so I think it's really cool that you incorporate them into your videos. Cool stuff! Hopefully once I give Hivefleet Giger some home turf to fight on, they'll stop losing so hard to the sludge patrol (my friend's plague marines army) in Killteam! I'll show them virulent...

[@bicskeiz]

I dont know if I ever saw any other tyranid terrain, but I didnt miss it... Until now! Looks brilliant!

[@jonnyr6092]

"It's very important you film none of this" Got a good chuckle from me.

[@stephenspackman5573]

Well, that was awesomely awesome. Especially appreciated the advice about what to forget to film.

[@yesmilord2350]

Great to see someone doing some terrain like this. Lots of imperial stuff out there and not enough of other armies.

[@The2hawt4yew]

I have the same blue and white shirt. Very comfy. I dig the video, thanks for sharing your work

[@88Switches]

Omg Dana, please never stop being you!

[@borisdevilboon8064]

SO COOL! I have gotta make some of these

[@Solsys2007]

6:34 one never forgets a Mucus Lady

[@tyranid-apologist]

the vibes on this one were off the charts

[@McBurnside6380]

Couple of tips. Wear a filter mask when you cut the MDF. The dust will give you cancer. And use a utility knife with a sturdy, easy to grip handle to bevel the edges. An exacto knife is to flimsy. The blade could break and the diameter of the grip is too small and hard to hold onto. Safety first mofos.

[@OmegaLittleBob]

Wow! Honestly this video made me more interested in Tyrannids than pretty much anything else I've seen before.

[@djason_music]

Dana, thank you for bringing whimsy and nostalgia to my life.

[@johnhanley5546]

Always enjoyable - especially the Tyrannid side of gaming - also got some inspiration for Space Hulk scatter terrain!!

[@brandonsaffell4100]

I feel like I know a great deal about how to construct tyranid terrain, but only have a superficial knowledge of what it's like to slowly lose your sense of self and individual consciousness as your thoughts are devoured by the hive mind from within. More mind devouring content please.

[@jmontgomery8969]

While applying your cream cheese, sprinkle some bagel crumbs as terrain scatter...everything bagels work the best!

[@MrElliotholman]

I’m just getting into mini building and I think you’re great, thanks for the content :)

[@baphometsvomitcomet2350]

Dairy-based terrain is the next frontier of the hobby, calling it now

[@Joshuad369]

I love the music that plays with this video. It makes me think of alien scifi movies from the 80s. Great job Dana!

[@twogooddogs]

Thanks for this! I will use these techniques to make a Plague Marine McFarlane Marine

[@3ratsinatrenchcoat605]

Love your videos, your cursed city basing guide basically saved a tonne of models that were languishing in my pile of shame, baseless

[@elilentiart8025]

If you have left over sculptamold remember it's a cream cheese substitute and have it on a bagel for a well-rounded breakfast.

[@ivanpacheco5926]

Awesome Zerg creep / Tyranid terrain; those veins ´n eggs totally gives the alien homeworld feeling, can almost feel Mind flayers calling, love it! greetings.

[@TinyDiodes]

This has got to be the best tutorial ever.

[@jaanikaapa6925]

I so utterly love the opening and these self-depreciating / sarcastic narrations. Been a long time since I've laughed as much.

[@Ironfrenzy217]

I didn't know what to think of your style when I first started watching your videos. This solidified it. I like your style and whit. Have a subscribe. ;)

[@RealLonesamurai]

Ok, that was more hilarious than I expected, 11/10!

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

I got some quartz points off ebay for a couple of quid. They are going to look excellent on terrain bits. I might get an led involved and maybe ink the points different colours so the light shines througn em making them glow all psychadelic and stuff..

[@roger2602]

"and that's it, thanks for watching" XD

[@Jay-rd8sq]

These look great, but the best part of the video is your style of humor.

[@Jimmy.1979]

Omg Dana I love your sense of humor!

[@kosachilles2504]

Amazing! Love the way you did this video! Fun to watch

[@notreallydavid]

little Tyranid streets of little Tyranid cottages, with little Tyranid families in

[@astrozombiac3535]

I started watching you pretty early on and I have to say you've come pretty damn far. It definitely feels like you've found your voice and yeah...keep it up. You're doing great.

[@costagauci5719]

Thanks for the concept.

[@RyanAndrewEdwards]

The videos we NEED

[@blairbird8022]

Serve the hive, feel the groove.

[@paranoidplumber]

How do you like my groove, Daggoth?

[@Krystazi]

this is so cool, well done Dana

[@nazteeb]

Absolutely awesome! Cracking vid.

[@netozneto]

Loot Studios have the best minis on the 3d Printing subscription market

[@ThePluck54]

you had me in stitches for 90% of the video, love it!

[@emiliomartin9815]

"Add more veins!!". That's an order I definitely wasn't expecting to hear today... Nice video! :)

[@HULKReality.3064]

that was the best vid i seen in months

[@chriscordeiro1052]

That moment where you’re like “that’s not cream cheeeze, that’s sculptamold…….right?!……..right???”

[@timsplinter1321]

I can just imagine somebody watching THIS video as their first exposure to Dana... that would be fun to witness... You're definitely a bit into the 'acquired taste' section of the Venn diagram. Came out FANTASTIC! - hobbyhack

[@chubbyteddymonsterproducti1320]

Great work! So amazing!

[@TheKlabim]

Step 7 was my favorite!

[@themarvelousblackcanary8362]

I'd love to see you paint blood angels... with 9th edition they got a lot of successor chapters with radically different color schemes then the usual red and black... the atalantian spears are a lovely teal and there are several more... and I'd love to see what you do with the sanguinary guard ❤ you're amazing

[@lostspyder]

I like most of your videos but I especially enjoyed this one :) it made my day a little better :)

[@operatorhoot470]

I was wondering where you were going with this. Very nice job indeed!

[@Greywolf1066]

Love your channel,you’re a natural!

[@ShockArcl1te]

I'm getting a faintly "I'm so done rn" vibe from this vid.

[@The_skeleton_king]

Cream cheese was a good hobby hack thank you

[@jcdentongaming1304]

Best ad ever

[@Mara999]

I think this design would also fit in a creepy cavern, like a portion of the Underdark. Perhaps as part of a Mind Flayer lair?

[@ombresombre3695]

I love your narration !

[@TheMcbiscuit]

This looks awesome 👏

[@SkinnySkull13]

Awesome terrain!

[@MrZauberelefant]

Dana, while I know about how much 1/8th of an inch is, could you also include proper units for your international subscribers?

[@U2QuoZepplin]

McLovin the brains and tentacles terrain!!

[@uriance88]

Must have been the light, but the colours look less 'starry night' than the Instagram post you put up in advance of the video - still looks totally awesome.

[@peterloft9532]

That was actually really funny commentary. Nice work

[@Terrainosaur]

Not filming chunks of terrain building projects is CRUCIAL. Don't skip this step! This whole video is an accurate portrail of building/filming a terrain project.

[@slittytitty7179]

I have a 5,000 point Tyranid army and sadly my play group has not played 40k in about 5 years because my nids were too powerful so now everyone plays fantasy 8th edition

[@DMortuus]

You are so damn funny !! I love your vids.. never stop PLEZZZZZ. :)

[@U2QuoZepplin]

Dana Howl ......secret conedy genius on.the rampage! 🤣🤣😎

[@fozzyami]

Get yourself a Hot wire cutter for doing your foam shapes. Way safer than using a huge knife blade. Check the recent Tested video

[@DanaHowl]

Lol I was just about to watch that video

[@Sungref]

Can you paint more Tyranids? I love your work!

[@bryce6713]

Great video.

[@deebernaers137]

I don't eat cheese, would peanut butter work? Chunky or smooth?

[@atlasallen-manning6092]

cool project!

[@poppyappletree1400]

All-seeing eyes...eyes...eyeballs 👀 👀 Hail Lord Oculon 👀

[@jacks7239]

This thoughtfulslimy comment deserves more attention

[@KnarbMakes]

I think there's something wrong with my cream cheese. Mine didn't harden like that.

[@jakecrowe3797]

Just picked up my copy of Reign In Hell! I’d love to see your take on a demon warband.

[@radicalpaddyo]

I think about the red terror and old one eye a lot.

[@netozneto]

awesomeee!

[@AuraSight]

I like to watch videos on .75 Speed, and let me tell you, this video is even more foreboding when slowed down a bit
