I Fixed GW’s TINY Warhammer Board & Made It MASSIVE!

[@ellieblaber4243]

finally, a board thats half the range of a basilisk

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

🤣🤣

[@offtankgaming1310]

Top tier stuff 😂

[@PeteOfDarkness]

I love how some FW things had enough range to hit something in shop across the street.

[@microforgeminis]

Little foam flakes floating down Like the the ashes of quality time with my family 😂😂😂 amazing build mate. Such a great video as always.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Sadly that line was all too true in the last couple of weeks of this build! I make up for it though by putting them to work 🤣

[@aerouge4492]

I love that you show the obstacles you overcame as well. Really helpfull

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching 😁

[@rondanuser1204]

Absolutely FANTASTIC! GREAT inspiration and I learned some new tricks. Thanks!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you found value in it 🙏

[@adamtomlinson918]

recently found your channel and was missing your videos, totally understand why it took longer than normal to get this one done! it looks amazing!!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Hey thanks! Yeah this one took a lot of time to produce. Glad to get it done, thanks so much for watching 😊

[@Sunnyurr]

12:42 "... causing little foam flakes to float down upon my feet, like the ashes of quality time with my family". WOW that took me by surprise hahahaha

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

🤣🤣🤣

[@TheRedGhoul]

AMAZING WORK! The board truly became alive and it really looks more like a battlefield not just a cardboard board

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks!!! Yeah that's the mission. Let's 3D Gamify everything haha!

[@leo2a7dk]

I absolutely love this build.. Even without buildings it is to die for.. I cant wait to see it spattered with scenery..

[@TheGaming_Dude]

9:28 Glad to see the bricks make a return.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Haha yeah had to happen 😁

[@greghemington2655]

I love how you show your mistakes and how you process through them. The end result was sooooo good man!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks dude!

[@gabriel912]

Your content is so good, I can’t figure out why you’re not at at least 50k subs yet. But I’m happy I’ll part of this journey! ;)

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Here’s hoping I am one day maybe! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@idontwanttopickone]

3:55 - 1. Fold a piece of paper in half 2. Cut out your shape so the middle ends up being on the fold 3. Unfold paper 4. Trace it onto the wood. 5. Cut out the wood and notice that both sides are exactly the same. It's just like cutting out those chains of paper people holding hands or when you cut out a paper snowflake. But hopefully you figure that out in a second.

[@rustedbeetle]

I came here to say this as well. The snowflake approach.

[@Huntsmanlance]

I was going to say the same but using Manila folders

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

This is a genius tip. My brain totally short circuited during that whole process but yeah the snowflake this would work a treat!

[@Spark_Chaser]

The best use I've found for smaller foam cast-offs is rubble filler. Either as the larger pieces of rubble, or as filler for large piles of rubble. It occurs to me that, using a rattle can on such a big sci-fi board does have a benefit. If you did miss a spot with the mod podge base coat, and the spray can does damage the foam, you can always paint the area with some toxic neon coloration and call it a "toxic spill" or an "acid weapon", or even "nanomachine damage."

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

I'm definitely going to steal that toxic spill idea - thanks for the suggestion!

[@SteveB182]

Great board mate, i love the idea to use sunken craters to create 3d elements, essentially keeping the boards flat.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks man, yeah I think it works really well. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@MattMetalMayho]

Starts video...'I really hope this isn't going to be as stressful as the previous build I watched'...after the montage less than 40 seconds in 'oh boy, here we go again 😂

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Haha yeah it seems to have been going that way a lot lately! Thanks for watching Matt!

[@castlecrusadercrafts2841]

AMAZING OMG! love it

[@brianv769]

This looks amazing! Thanks!!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@derf1ves707]

Im currently working on a board like you did in your last video , but 3x the size of it and 16 inches short both ends of this modular one. first weekend i build the 1,20m x 1,80m big board, im currently in the third weekend, halfway through the bricklaying process. thanks for your inspiration

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Haha yes!!! That would be an insane amount of bricks man! Good luck and I would love to see how it turns out! 😁

[@grumbo8634]

Looks awesome, great job !!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks! 🙏

[@Virakotxa]

This was great! A dream board! You questioned yourself, there... But I really think you did the right thing by preparing the craters, and after, laying the slabs. No way it would have looked this good, otherwise! Something you can do to, to cut a corner and gain some realism in the future, is mixing all the sand, stones, and pebbles into a single shallow container (to minimize decantation) and apply it all at once. Looks way more natural and is more time efficient that way. I like to mix some 3d-printed skulls, kitty litter, cork, micro-crystals, myca, flat flakes, small print support struts... and still looking for something that would resemble ammo shells, personally. But I use that for basing. You have really inspired me to try my own board!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

That’s awesome dude, great shout with the rubble mix. I did a similar think for basing materials. The issue I found with it when doing terrain is that the finer materials tend to sink to the bottom. Yeah shell casings would be cool!

[@Virakotxa]

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Cheers. Yeah, that's the decantation issue I ment... Big and lightweight rubble comes to the top, and all the fine sand ends at the bottom. So you pour it first on a shallow container, like a lid, and it shuffles the materials to dust from there. Another little suggestion is give a try to dry pigments. Love AK Interactive's, but ground-up dry pastels work as well. They need to be fixed with some alcohol dusting, (which dulls the effect) or they forever stain... But it can add so much realism and atmosphere to anything, with little time and effortless. Sorry! Thinking out loud... I should be getting a foam-cutter, not giving tips! 🤪

[@alexgalbraithacoustic]

Awesome result for awesome perseverance!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thank you!

[@erwanguillon5975]

And here I am thinking of doing a 30cmx30cm board to place in my window shelf. This is truly amazing!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks so much! Hey we have to start somewhere right? First it’s 30x30 and then it starts growing till you have no room left for storage haha!

[@binklebinks5498]

Really impressive job mate. A lot of good techniques in this video.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks dude!

[@stalkunseenterrain]

Well worth the effort. I think trying all new techniques is what keeps the hobby interesting and stretches what our limiting beliefs thought we could do. Looks amazing. Hope you get some games in on it. I think your next video needs to be on how you get kids to clean up after you. My experience has only been the other way round.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Black magic will do it. Just need to perform a few sacrifices and incantations. 🤣🤣

[@Ruggfish]

I'm not a big fan of 40k terrain but this looks so good. Always excited for your videos

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks buddy, glad you liked it! 😊

[@MrMaltavius]

Awesome result! I would have had one board with less damage so you could easier place buildings on it. But I guess you could always make another one :)

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

A couple of the boards are fairly undamaged for exactly that. But yeah I’d really want to go for the war torn look. Thanks for watching 😊

[@darkbasilix2019]

This board looks so good!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks!

[@johns8415]

Great work, Adam. Thanks for sharing

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Cheers! Glad you liked it 😊

[@peterdale9025]

Amazing! Nicely done! Great video and inspiring making.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks Peter! Glad you liked it! 😊

[@Robert-bm2jr]

The salt causing fuzzy, delicious, stencils.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Haha ready salted 🤣

[@bjaysmith4781]

Use the small pieces of foam to make a sprue goo like jelly.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Cool idea

[@markdickey]

Awesome work Adam!!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks Mark!

[@Huntsmanlance]

Great job. It looks awesome!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks! 🙏

[@Kidfry]

That was a lot of work but it sure came out well. Great job!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks! It was a bit of a beast, but I'm happy with how it turned out! 😁

[@sethpalmer8666]

Great build!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thank you!

[@theendrinmaster7921]

Great work yet again! some great techniques used!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Glad you liked it!

[@bradcraig6676]

Fantastic board!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Glad you liked it! 🙏

[@BrunoEars]

Thats a COLOSSAL amont of work, but was really nice enjoyable to see it done from start to finish, subscribed!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks dude, appreciate the subscription!

[@Nozomivamp]

I might do this on a smaller scale, I just bought a table after one of my local stores closed and I've been thinking of getting more mats for different terrain ideas but this looks way cooler than a normal mat. Tho if i do do this ill really need to have more games at my house

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Perfect reason then haha! Yeah man get into it 😁

[@LewisDrew-zz8ly]

Amazing job, love the modularity and scale! Y ou never realise how many resources big boards soak up until your half way through aha! I created an Ithilien hybrid board with a cliff and river running through, inspired by Hokitika...was really fun but then it grew and grew and I didn't have anywhere to store it!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Ah yes the old chestnut of storage haha! Never easy that's for sure. That board sounds amazing by the way!

[@thechaosshaman]

Brother, be proud of your work. This was a huge task and it turned out looking amazing. Really enjoyable video to watch. Thanks for the content

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks so much for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikevincent8728]

Dude, that looks mint! Great effort :D

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks Mike!

[@SimonMoston]

Came together really well Adam, great stuff. Your suffering is appreciated.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Haha thanks Simon I’m glad you appreciate it 😁

[@andybkly]

Absolutely love your videos. Ingenious ideas and super entertaining! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you’re enjoying them 😁

[@milkenobi]

Amazing work, looks like such a big job but worth it in the end! I’m currently making your floating rock illusion terrain as a cake topper for my wedding cake. Thank you so much for the inspo

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

That sounds incredible! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@MrWood-nc3bt]

What a ton of work. I'm always impressed by people, that are able to keep on working until the finish line. Maybe I should try some red wine as the right fuel for such a big project 😅 Awesome board(s) 💪🏼

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Trying to produce a KZbin video helps! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@TheJohnlegg]

I love your precariously places wine glass. I would have knocked it over... great job!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Hahaha yeah I almost did a couple of times! 🤣

[@TabletopWorkshop]

Great and inspiring work and what a BIG BABY - congrats!!! Some of the hurdles and failures seem familiar to me ;-) And you probably already have ideas about how to do it better and more efficiently next time. Until then, have fun inaugurating your mega game board!!!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks dude!!! Yeah total mayhem seems to accompany my builds way too often haha!

[@Hobbyrepubliken]

A great build

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed the build. It was a lot of fun to create!

[@kennygpokerstrategy4917]

Amazing video as always man!!! So much work. It turned out great though!!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

So, what did we learn from this video? Don't undertake projects that require painstaking precision when you've lost your glasses :D

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Haha yeah that was really annoying! Had to get crafting though, not going to let a little something like vision fatigue stop me!

[@TheWizardsBrush]

Daka daka damage 😄 🤣 mate, insane build! So worth your perseverance! Loved the video too, had me in stitches at multiple points 😊

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks dude! Dakka dakka dakka!!!

[@Dressk]

Great work as always ! For your xps foam supplies, you could steal some from zorpazorp like you did in a previous collaboration !

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Hmmm good idea, this time I'll bring a truck. May as well take his Helm's Deep while I'm at it 🤣

[@douglasbradley3533]

Cool board ideas as always 👍

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@Wizdum13]

it is criminal that your views arent 10x this

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks for saying so mate, I appreciate the watch and comment 🙏

[@EditornoodlesSH74]

wow that is a crazy build! good job Adam 👍

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Haha thanks Seba… ooops I mean, random dude on the internet

[@EditornoodlesSH74]

@ this guy

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

@EditornoodlesSH74 @which guy?…

[@davidweeks745]

This was a journey video and a half and I was here for it 🙌 such a great build once again, we still needs more cat references I reckon 😉😂

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Noted! Although I still think he's just trying to take the credit haha!

[@B1ackSwordVids]

A great video and I really like your work of modularity. I might have to use a lot of your board making techniques and the stencil of the sections that join to make my 44x60 size table (obviously changing it to 4x board sections instead of 6) and have the joining sections being gothic tiles instead of joint creators. That way I can put buildings on the table instead of just scatter terrain. What do you think?

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

That sounds like a great idea! I'm glad you found my video useful and ood luck with your build! 😊

[@B1ackSwordVids]

@ thanks mate! I appreciate it! Thanks for your video! I hope this table idea works out :)

[@VladimirKharchenko]

Mate. sorry, you've done it backwards, first you make a carcass frames (with diagonal support, when you glue your mdf sheets and sides. Also, would be a good idea to make jig for depressions and just cut it with rudder or smthng like it. But a good project anyway, really inspirational!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Appreciate the feedback, always looking for new ways to build!

[@VladimirKharchenko]

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes now make some more cool things :)

[@jayfreemen3357]

kinda reminds me of a dawn of war city map👍

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@LuckyLamoura]

Looks good! But isn't polystyrene more dangerous to cats than other foam options for building?

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Its ok he wasn't eating it. He just likes to sink his claws into it from time to time

[@idontwanttopickone]

15:00 - mix in some plaster and sand into your mix and you'll save your self having to pour the tile grout everywhere. You can also add in acrylic calking to the paint (as long as it's all acrylic paints - other paints might make it split) and this will thicken up the end result and give a good hard coat to the polystyrene while also filling holes, especially when you have PVA in there too. Add more water to the mix to keep it from getting too thick.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Cool yeah those are some good ideas, thanks!

[@bicskeiz]

My god, it turned out awsome! Is there somethimg in the air down there, or Lockey dragged some infection of megalomania with him? 😊

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Hahaha yeah maybe! I do love me a big ridiculously complicated build 🤣

[@hannibalcorpse]

Basically a Hobbyt.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Yes. Yes I am 😊

[@OmkaraHellcore]

Creates an amazing board. Proceeds to place scenery on top of it of which the orange colour clashes horribly with the tone of the board 😅

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks for watching

[@cerisekappes580]

Absolutely epic!!! ❤😊❤

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks man 😁

[@christophe7723]

Nice!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thank you! Cheers!
