I only meant to watch a minute or two of this video to see how you were going to accomplish the builds- that was about 5 fifteen minute videos ago! I’ve got to go to bed! Love your channel- subscribed after the first two minutes. Thanks!

[@WylochsArmory]

Rockin!

[@khimbar123]

A few days ago I was nursing a grumpy baby at 2am. KZbin recommended I watch this video. I did. Then another, then another. I watched my way through your channel. These videos are great. So well made, narrated, edited. Makes me want to make things. And I don't even play any games. Thank you for them.

[@WylochsArmory]

You're fighting the toughest battle. My wife is a superhero too. Glad to help pass the time. Also, try gaming! Dungeons and Dragons is so fun and easy. No terrain required.

[@tyjo7265]

I just got chipboard in the mail, we’ll see how this goes!

[@kevinhendriksjeuh]

Wow that stuff looks legit like the real deal! You see some stuff on KZbin looking vaguely gothic but this onereally captures it lush and ibrant architecture! Good job! Super inspiring stuff here

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@johnkelley9877]

Absolutely incredible! This is really one of your best builds. It is simple yet has enough detail to make it look real. This was well worth the wait.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@Hepabytes]

Proper miniatures paint and primer, who are you and what have you done with Wyloch? Joking aside, you've really outdone yourself with this one. Pretty rare to see RPG crafting videos breech into the quality level we see in the wargaming community, but you've definately pulled it off here.

[@WylochsArmory]

I know, it's heresy.

[@the_absurd_hero]

Absolutely fantastic! I’ve always wanted to make a spiffy 40k cathedral, but I wanted to keep it cheap. This video is gold! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom 💜

[@WylochsArmory]

CardsAndCups hey just curious what's the background for your handle cardsandcups?

[@the_absurd_hero]

Wyloch's Crafting Vids - I read tarot cards 😊 But I take more of a psychological approach to reading rather than the stereotyped spiritual, "woo-woo" style. I also have a possibly unhealthy addiction to the cardboard crack known as Magic the Gathering. On the 40k front, I've been playing Sisters of Battle since they were Witch Hunters. This video is right up the alley of what I've always dreamed of making for my shooty nuns. 😀

[@YuriZahn]

These look fantastic... with Necromunda coming back out, and Shadow War, these can get a lot of use. Thanks for sharing

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@donald7216]

Fantastic video I plan to use a lot of the techniques shown for some terrain I'm planning on. Also I love how you went from your paper minis to your own creation to the real deal. It's fun to watch the evolution

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@johnr7279]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me get my Wyloch fix on! A great video and I have not yet worked with chipboard. Thanks for taking away my reason and I look forward to cranking some of these out. The Gothic look certainly works well for multiple types of games. And a great point on saving up items in what I think we all call our junk boxes. You just keep adding and eventually, you've got a collection that has plenty of stuff for multiple gaming terrain pieces. Thanks again and take care!

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@promugg]

Once you cut the first cross frame for your floor tiles use it as a template for all your other floor tiles. That should help cut some time down ;) Didn't notice how old this vid was :(

[@J24-k8f]

Dude, you are a freaking genius. As a picky wargamer on a strict budget, all of your fantastic content is amazing and has helped immensely. Have you considered doing some historical style terrain for a video? I love to mix in bits of modernish equipment in with my settings and am currently planning a train depot for bolt action. It might be really cool to see you do a video for something in that vein. Thanks for all your content. It is really awesome.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!! I currently have no plans for historical or modern, as those genres don't interest me. .....but, two years ago I swore I would never have any interest in wargaming, and look what has happened.

[@arathaemaxus5250]

Wyloch's Armory Haha wait until you try the games by Warlord Gaming....

Be sure and share pics! Either on the Wyloch's Armory facebook page, or DM Scotty's facebook group.

[@zid_just_zid]

Great vid, A tip for if you want a concrete wall texture is to mix a bit of light spackle with PVA glue, fine grain sand, a little water, paint it on roughly with a large brush and then stipple it a bit to remove any obvious brush stroke, due to the PVA being in the mix it solidifies great and become really sturdy.

[@AnonymousNothing]

Very, very impressive. Gives me some ideas for post apocalyptic games. I know it's not quite the setting you're in, but if you ever craft some more modern looking buildings/landscapes, I'd personally love to see them.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@cawsking555]

automotive primer would cover more then the spray paint as the first layer on to the chipbord for it would not soak in . automotive primer also allows for the silver to have shadows already built in/ allows it to also stick better.

[@WylochsArmory]

Is it expensive? This primer was $4.

[@cawsking555]

it is only 1 more and comes in white, black, gray and a dark red " this is rust-oleum sandable primer" . becuse its a automotive primer is a filler /sandable primer but you have to add one more step to it tho. And that is to use a hair driyer on it to remove the smell and cure it. this is also ; grate for metal models , fine cast and reaper bones models as whell.

i live in a state that does not have a sales tax so prices may varry from state to state

RESPECT! I've been RPG-ing for 40yrs now and your channel rocks out. I check out DM Scotty too. I have to say I was "watching" another. Let's call it the "Beg Money Channel" and almost quit tubing for fresh ideas. Thanks for being here.

[@KCwalksabout]

Only just recently became aware of your videos but wanted to say; they're really good. Very useful stuff that looks amazing. You're very good at it so your results are incredible but you make it totally understandable for us noobs! Hope to see more industrial/sci-fi bits coming up that I can pinch for Necromunda purposes... but honestly all of your stuff is good and useful. Thanks again!

[@intrepid1160]

Love the tutorial, looks amazing! For the exposed rebar, wouldn't paperclips be better though since you can get creative with how you bend them? They would be stronger than toothpicks too and are actually metal to begin with, so they might look slightly more realistic.

[@WylochsArmory]

Good idea since they can bend - need to pick the right glue though.

[@BaileyBecca]

I've only seen a few of your videos and they're amazing

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@rosicroix777]

Great video !!! Not only great tutorials for 40k vehicles but you've created some really awesome terrain to play the game in & around. I have to say though that the floor tiles look genius ! Plus they can be used for any sci fi/steampunk game. I think your floor tiles could definately be used on any larger base to make it look fantastic. TY again for showing the pieces you got from the crafting store, they really make the buildings look professional, the other toy pieces Ive used & would recommend are from Bionicle, they can be found 2nd hand really cheap if you dont have any lying around. The prices for GW terrain are soooo prohibitively high I never see actual gamers own much of it except for what might come in a boxed game set ( like the new necromunda game), it seems to be the domain of the store owners Yet you created some ruins Id be proud to own ( & prouder still knowing I made them ). Having gotten into 40k/fantasy & D&D back in the mid 80s I got alot of experience in creating what our group needed but each of your videos is excellent & its hard to not compliment you on doing such great work & then sharing the knowledge w/the rest of us. Seriously, your channel is the best Ive subscribed to in a while so thank you again & Ill try to not be so enthusiastic throwing praise @ you each video I watch. Keep up the great work !

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Presumably far cheaper to build and construct than GW's not so easy to put together kits, which take a load of practice to get it right.

[@WylochsArmory]

Roughly $5 to $10 invested in each building, if you include hot glue gun, paints etc.

[@TheRedSweater]

Thank you for sharing all these great videos. You do a wonderful job.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@beep6202]

Totally going to use this technique! Love it! Any explanation on how you did the balcony on the unfinished one you displayed at the end of the video?

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks! Just a mix of chipboard and/or foamcore, hot glued together, then hot glued on to the building.

[@robinlothman]

You are awesome, love your crafting skills.

[@martinthewarrior5016]

are you looking at getting into necromunda when it comes out? also, would you maybe consider making the main wall structure out of foamboard to give the walls a bit of a thicker sturdier look?

[@WylochsArmory]

martin the worrior I specifically did not use foam for the walls for two reasons. One is that its more fragile. Two is that its hard to get a clean cut, especially for curves like those windows. I have heard about Necromunda, will check it out but honestly with my other hobbies including this channel I probably dont have room for it in my life right now. :-)

[@cjanquart]

Since it's a skirmish scale campaign game (probably one of the best titles GW's released) you can play a mission usually in 30-45 minutes. The terrain you had on the table would be great, as well as some random ground clutter (barricades, stacks of crates, small machinery, etc.).

[@martinthewarrior5016]

+Wyloch's Crafting Vids ok, cool. will definitely give these a try, though i may be tempted to add some more battle-damage. those floor panels look great!

[@WylochsArmory]

Oh good call. Like a sponge with black, to knick at all the edges?

[@wolffepaint3183]

Awesome just awesome 😎

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@davea.9927]

This is perfect for my D&D set ups. I was looking for something new. Think this would work with normal cardboard? I have tons of that stuff. Also, what's the title of that awesome intro song?

[@WylochsArmory]

Normal corrugated cardboard will not be as sturdy, and also its hard to get clean looking curved cuts, plus lots of exposed corrugation to cover up. Id recommend spending the few bucks for a lifetime supply of chipboard.

[@chuppath1ngy]

So, dollar store foam board isn't so good? I was so excited to find that at my local shop when hobby shopping!

I just found your channel the other day and I'm already several hours deep into my Modular Catwalks project! Thank you! And my question is: why use only the "good" foamboard and not the cheap stuff? Does it have to do with the warping factor? Thank you, sir, and keep up the good work!

Yeah in this case structure is important so I use the goof stuff, honestly, dollar tree readiboard is still fine, I have since switched to it exclusively.

[@samb7179]

Love your videos! Just wondering if foam board would work for the walls instead of chip board to give it more thickness? Is there a reason you went with chipboard for the main part of the walls?

[@BazztheBazz]

Love your work! I was wondering, would you be interested in doing a terrain build for 6mm games, like Battletech or CAV or Warhammer Epic? I've tried my hand at making DIY buildings on that scale and have never really been happy with the results.

[@Chase14videos]

What are the dimensions on the window?

1" wide, with the bottom sill 3/4" from the bottom of a gridline. Height I can't remember, I think I just eyeballed it to be 1/4" from the top gridline.

[@Archleon]

Great video and sorry if someone already asked but what did you use to make the chimney on the manufactorum?
