This is truely mastery of the terrain making arts. You are, what we in the normal realm refer to as, a god among men. Real talk though, I'm in complete awe as a fellow builder.

[@Billio68]

Straight hero worship… well done is all Wylock will get from me…

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

MAGNUM OPUS! Of all the cool elements I could comment on, the thing in this build that brings me the most joy was when you made all those railings as one big piece then cut them apart 👌

[@WylochsArmory]

So satisfying to cut...

[@DraC0151287]

So satisfyng it should be illegal :P Great job!

”Don’t make copies of copies” Mechanicus: *breathes heavily*

[@CraftNicks]

Yup.. this is next level... for any kids watching.. this is the power of math!

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@1098234567]

Dont tell me that, maths and me dont like each other

[@salamada007]

Math? Try copyright infringement. This is a tedious and labour intensive version of 100+ other things already out there, also made from inferior materials that will warp and degrade quickly over time.

[@trojan403]

@@salamada007 Sounds like you'd be real fun at parties

[@WylochsArmory]

Welp, zero warping or degradation so far....

[@kolbeinng7307]

Bro, not only is this one of your best vids to date, its also super well timed for all the folks getting into 40k Kill Team these days. Thank you. Clip on embellishments you say? How about a balcony thingy for a turret? Perfect for a Heavy Weapons Platform or a DS8. Clip-on traps to show that a piece of terrain has been booby trapped! Would make for a dramatic moment at the table, "This platform is now your DOOM!" Turn some coins into manhole covers for those sewer rules everyone forgets, or better yet, repurpose those rules for a clip on Portal!

[@501stlegionnaire]

Absolutely incredible. Just when you think you can’t top the previous terrain project you come up with a whole new mindblowing project.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@grimdarklegends9600]

This was by far the biggest terrain project I've undertaken and loved (most) of the process. I had a big chili cook off my game group and surreptitiously collected all the cans afterwards. It's added a lot to my channel. Awesome stuff!

[@thomasmurray6786]

HELLO. LET ME PLEASE START BY SAYING I HAVE AN ACUTE BRAIN INJURY, THAT IS WHY I USE THE CAPS. I HAVE NEVER PLAYED WARHAMMER 40 K BUT I HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH BUILDING AND PAINTING. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING YOUR VIDEO, IN A CLEAR CONCISE MANOR, IT WAS VERY WELL DONE!! KUDOS! PERHAPS YOU CAN HELP ME LINK TO YOUR PREVIOUS WORK. I ALSO BELIEVE TERRAIN IS VERY IMPORTANT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS. REGARDS, THOMAS

[@nathanialbarnhart517]

I wanted to say thank you so much for this video. I spent a good chunk of my Thanksgiving holiday crafting with your system and now have a wonderful, functional table top for my Firefight/Killteam games. I went a little crazier on the painting (lots of graffiti and inspirational posters) but your base plan is absolutely amazing.

[@TheDrewker]

Really nice to see someone making stuff by hand amid all of the 3d printing frenzy. I love printing stuff too, it's not one or the other, but handcrafting skills are crucial. Not to mention, your style of presentation is extremely clear and easy to follow. I always appreciate when people take the time to edit their videos and aren't just winging it.

[@mraide]

Really nice delivery, and fantastic results - glad I found this channel

[@Nico-gs8il]

Love how clear and easy to follow you make all the step-by-step process.! Thanks for sharing it!

[@thehippiecrafter210]

Your systems are always precise, mathematical, and super effective! I love it :)

[@thomasvanonzen3121]

Absolutely inspiring work. Love the connectability and the unlimited options for the clip-on embellishments.

[@johneberts2918]

love the idea of being able to simply change it around and add on really cool

[@donaldxavier2056]

Words cannot describe how awesome and versatile this tutorial is. Great work!

[@adamboyce6191]

I finally started making my basic shapes tonight! This is an awesome idea dude, thanks for the detailed tutorial!

[@daytonmeister34]

As I have recently taken the dive into warhammer 40k... I remembered this video and now I have ordered chipboard so I can start

[@johnkelley9877]

Absolutely excellent! This is one of your best tutorials. Thanks for sharing this cool terrain system.

[@repairmanbruce7318]

This is a particularly lovely set, with your usual handy logical explanation of the process. Many thanks for this and your whole channel and input into the wider guild community.

[@Kryzcek78]

Totally agree on the scenery. It's part of the imersion for me. Great vid.

[@MarsKng]

Man, your brain is working overtime again, awesome work!

[@BillAllanWorld]

Consistently brilliant. Love the precision in this video, yet so many variations and possibilities for creative accessories and additions. Well done, my man.

[@carlmayne3519]

Wow dude ... No words do justice to how impressive that looks!! .... (( Clip-on Ideas -- Bulkheads / Doors / Teleport entrances / Extendable walkways / Lift - Elevator / Cranes - hooks / Weapon mounts / Water slides :D ))

[@alistairmacfadyen1925]

brilliantly simple, and easy to follow, excellent idea to modular up the scenery

[@samcompton5709]

This is exactly what I need for my next project! I'm running Stars Without Number and I've already been working on drop terrain, but I needed this for catwalks, building interiors, and ship interiors. I can already see making all this and adding large platforms as internal rooms or the bridge/hold of a ship

[@matthayward7889]

Terrain looks great, and I love the satin finish on the tyranids 👌

[@WrinkledPlatypus]

This is a great project! I've started my set, can't wait to see all the pieces in action

[@dmforsyth]

Wow, Bill. You have really cranked it up to 11 this time. I'm floored. This is genuinely spectacular. Now I need to start eating a lot more soup. Thank you for your effort and inspiration.

[@chroniclesoftinybattles]

Wow the result is so clean, bravo !

[@DMInsomnia]

Amazing work! I love how precise you are for everything, I actually use your vids to show my kids how important math can be, even in a hobby.

[@electricmeatpuppet]

Simply amazing as always! One of the best! No gimmicks, no BS, just top notch crafting ingenuity :) Love it.

[@soundwaveprime780]

Wow, fantastic work. Thank you for taking the effort to create a tutorial. The modules are well thought out and I love how simple the stairs are. Subscribed!

[@johnmascardo7047]

Wow, everything seems so practical to make.

[@grahamking4815]

Really well thought out and adaptable system! Thanks for taking that time and trouble yourself, to make things simple for us.

[@adampescosolido5413]

First time I watched I was sure that this was some sort of professionally designed kit or something, now I know your just that good.

[@breakinginferno6774]

I JUST started my cyberpunk tile set today, this is perfect. Keep up the great work!

[@TheGrizzledGeek]

Always love your work, but this is one of the best things you have done.

[@vurrunna]

This is fantastic--I've been looking all over the web trying to find MDF terrain with this sort of catwalk style, and right as I began despairing over outrageous over-seas shipping costs and the fear of trying to design my own, this pops up on my home page. Thank you! These look great, and I can't wait to start making some for myself. For add-ons, I'd be interested to see these integrated with more complete structures, either typical 40k blasted ruins or more completed domiciles and warehouses and the like. Would also be interesting to see stuff like chemical tanks/processors, factory bits, and other such production things to help give the catwalks a sense of purpose beyond just good perches to shoot from (not that there's anything wrong with such a thing). Keep up the good work!

[@rottenminiatures5083]

This is really good, I love how it aslo fits into the 40k world wiht a factory making stander buildigs that are then cliped to geather as needed.

[@MadShamanLodur]

You were linked to me by a friend and I gotta say, I don't think I've subscribed to a channel this fast before. Great content, great ideas, thank you for this you just helped me level up my Necromunda board.

[@jessehammil3897]

Ok, after a long time of thinking about this, I have to try to build it. Seems like a long project. Thanks for this!

[@kharnethebetrayer4125]

That was a epic build and love it.definately want to have a go at that

[@scottdiebold9424]

Fellow terrain builder here, you're just amazing at this stuff. I'm always checking your channel before I start big projects to see how Wyloch did it!

[@valleyDweller]

I was already "yeah, this is cool enough" until you inserted the first clip, and I had to back it up and re-watch how you made them :) Great stuff.

[@agamerspov]

I just started playing Necromunda and was looking for ideas to make walkways and the like and then you posted this video and solved my problem for me. Thanks, Wyloch!

[@Arkhandras]

Man... This is incredible ! Well done ! Necromunda here I come !!

[@tomusannonymous]

So glad you shared about this mdf material, so hard to find things like this if you dont know what its called. Great video!

[@operaghost21]

These are SO cool! You've truly outdone yourself this time. You were the first tabletop crafter I found and still my favorite.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@bluesrock88]

THis is the BEST terrain video I have ever seen, the most imaginative and creative And I have seen A LOT of them

[@jktechwriter]

Woah. This is amazing, Bill. The clip ons are a great idea. Huge chipboard fan, so well done!

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks man

[@nickleader7985]

Wow. Very impressive, both for final appearance and for ingenuity. I have been looking to build stuff for 1/18 scale. I am definitely using your ideas. Thank you Sir!

[@wesleyvanauken]

This is a REALLY great video. I'm using this tutorial (with some modifications) to put this terrain together in Blender for my 15mm scale scifi games. Then I can 3D print as much of this terrain as I want. Thank you Wylock's Armory!

[@BouncingTribbles]

Miniatures are definitely the stars of the show, but you're 100% right that the stage is another character. When I was studying stage design for theater they told us exactly that. The table is the third player in the game. I would love to see the ends of these walkways. If this is an industrial complex where are the walkways going? Machinery or holding tanks on larger bases, that's where! They could form anchor and center points for the terrain. They would also be the centerpiece for modular terrain like this. Have a giant tank with a creature in it? It's a bio lab! Have a giant crucible full of red hot metal? It's a Manufactorum! Have a giant crusher/grinder and some scatter "junk" terrain? It's a reclamation center! Definitely make some control panels, they'd make great objective markers. I also love the clip ons for the railings and accessories, they look like the bracketting that would be used on metal walkways like these.

[@SupermegaGchan]

You have an excellent way of explaining things. Thumbs up!

[@coalitionofrob436]

I love how you mix inches and centimetres. I use both, but I’m sure it drives some people crazy!

[@artonas2]

Holy crap. I’m so glad I found this video. I’m pumped to build a board for Necromunda using your guide.

[@WylochsArmory]

Dig it

[@batingbunnies]

I've been working on this for my 40k board at home. It's really great to see another take on it because you definitely had some ideas that I'm going to "borrow"

[@WylochsArmory]

Awesome

[@terrainaholic]

WOW!!!! That looks AMAZING and is so functional and modular!!!!!! GREAT JOB BUDDY!!!!!!!!:)

[@RussellWilliams736]

This video was awesome, it took me back to the early days of Necromunda when the table was basically cardboard and some plastic bulkheads! Suggestions for accessories, industrial lights, pipes (both small and large), controls to go with the pipes, landing/cargo platform, a crane, cargo containers (which I believe you've already done), doorways.

[@WylochsArmory]

Rockin

[@richardpeace3292]

Just found your channel....excellent! As a Brit, you also had me cheering when you gave measurements in metric!

[@josephtaylorholmes]

This is very clever. Excellent concepts I'll be borrowing and adapting to my shenanigans

[@KnightsOfDice]

Super creative, what a wonderful system! I love the mixing of imperial and metric!

Can't wait to use these ideas and techniques ty and that terrain looks awesome

[@MacucaLaBella]

Easy to follow tutorial. Nice edition. A must have video for any DnD game type hobbyist. Thanks for all your work, passion and dedication.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@spikebarnett]

Wyloch bringing his crafting game to a whole new level. Gonna make this 2.5" so it fits in with the tiles, and find some way to make it fantasy themed. Rope bridges maybe?

[@slapmypotato4760]

oh wow!! Im completely new to warhammer and scratchbuilding. I have zero knowledge and it all seemed daunting but this modular design is absolutely amazing! Thankyou for sharing this. Excellent video!

[@bofdar]

Love it, my kill team awaits anxiously. I'll think on the clip on embellishments, see what I come up with.

[@Michael_Johnson_5446]

Great craft, but awesome video style as well: very efficient in explaining stuff.

[@jang7675]

As someone who is getting ready to do a Cyberpunk Red tabletop game. I am so happy to find this video. It is giving me so many ideas for the campaign.

[@arrowofdeath999]

OMG! That's such a superb tutorial! i can't believe it . . . this is going to be my next necromunda terrain!

[@WylochsArmory]

Rockin. Assume you are new..,I have a lot of similar work in my backlog

[@mikehawkins346]

I think a cool add on might be objective markers like control panels or computer type pieces or a marked relic of some sort. I'll be building this after my surgery on my shoulder so I'm going to have alot of down time to plan my own embellishments. Thanks for the vid Bill, you are always a huge inspiration to my crafting!!!!

[@WylochsArmory]

Hope you get well soon Mike

[@mikehawkins346]

Thanks my friend!

[@epicdungeontiles]

That looks so awesome! I wish I played a bit more sci fi stuff I would be building these 100%

[@iguanian]

Thought I'd add a comment about some inspiration you gave me - I used the methods you did here (and the airship tutorial) to make a modular ship. The tabs let me add cannon ports, armor, or a walkway/inner-outer hull, plus any other ship parts like changeable figurehead, adding a ram, etc. Thanks again!

[@StevesSmallWorld]

Great looking table that is modula and easy to store. I use hardboard alot in builds as free from work as it is used to package materials so ends up in the bin. Cheap build terrain is the most rewarding imo and great to get the kids learning crafting skills .

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks, I love your channel btw!

[@thegrizzledwarmaster6921]

Great, now I have a ton of work to do. Thanks Wyloch! Better order some more chipboard.

[@GTAirsoft]

I just want to say thank you for this!!!! Just ordered 50 sheets of 12x12 chipboard and about to go crazy. Couldnt even contain myself so I ran up to Micheals crafts and snagged the only 2 sheets they had just so I could start. Amazing work. I totally scraped all my ruins I was working on to start and entire 6x8 table of this terrain!!!!

[@WylochsArmory]

Rockin! Meantime try some pipes or junction boxes (much faster and easier, my most recent two videos...build confidence first....these walkways are tedious, be warned...)

[@GTAirsoft]

Well out of 2 sheets I got 1 can structure, 2 wall/bracer pieces, 1 walkway, and 9 railings so far. Im having a blast. Lol. I actually watched your junction box video last night as I was working on a tanker type piece made from a beer can. Lol

[@WylochsArmory]

@@GTAirsoft great to hear. As long as it is fun to do, all that matters.

[@ruex1234]

Dude, you are a hobby hero!

[@MrRobertHarding]

I like your clip method. I had thought about similar using plasticard or thin mdf as I didn't think a cardstock product would work. You seemed to have proved me wrong. Mind you, I've never even heard of that product you use before

[@ThatsMyBub]

I'm so glad I found your channel. My life for the foreseeable future has a purpose now...and it involves a lot of chip board

[@WylochsArmory]

Out of curiosity, how did you find it? (Trying to do some analytics lately...)

[@ThatsMyBub]

​@@WylochsArmory I think it was from a reddit post but I can't find it again :/ sorry
