Making a Custom One Shot With Zombie Deep Sea Divers

[@Ywhre]

that underwater lighting paintjob is *chef's kiss*

[@wallabaatar]

Ok, I confess, I often skip over the “Sponsor” parts of videos, but this Hero Forge feature is so cool (I watched every second of the video). And this build is incredible on all levels! Thanks Boylei!

[@Bob-b7x6v]

That Hero Forge creation tool looks super-intuitive. It's nice not needing a 3D modeling degree to make what you want.

[@beaglator]

7:40 “little blue rings onto this harmless little octopus” lol’d

[@marshawargo7238]

Yet no barnacles or zebra muscles? Those blue rings are sooo pretty & mesmerizing, I just want to pet them😢!

[@fredthebarber]

Haha, that got me too! So many people are gonna miss that reference.

[@blackc1479]

Apparently they get big around this wreck. Must be all the free nummies the guardians leave floating about. How to make Australia more terrifying: add undead scavenging venomous cephlopods. (Rather than their garden variety venomous cephlopods.)

[@GameMastersWorkshop]

Damn, that kitbashing feature makes a Hero Forge subscription not only look like a good idea, but freaking great idea.

[@draconicdust3435]

Youcan already do it in blender by just buying enough models to have every item and then in blender they show as separate items and then you can just move around freely. But this is absolutely awesome for the people who don't want to do that process or only want to buy one or two miniatures.

[@Silverwing2112]

I just checked and the pros don't have that yet..

[@MrAnimateEverything]

@@draconicdust3435they no longer show up as separate bits unfortunately.

[@draconicdust3435]

@@MrAnimateEverything Damn, well I still have all of the old ones saved

[@livanbard]

​@@draconicdust3435honestly you don't even need to buy. There is a plethora of crazy good models for free. Either because the marker do t monetized or because the makers is giving a sample. From that you can Kitbash.

[@Druforithe]

omg the ocean-wave-rays details on the ship and sea-floor are amazing!

[@alanguerin610]

I didn't get the joke until right at the end. Pachelbel's lolcannon. Very clever. Good build, too.

[@dopeshades4134]

I've spent countless hours on Hero Forge making tons of characters. And now they're adding kitbashing?! I'm so stoked!

[@leXie1337_chan]

I almost didn't catch the pun regarding the zombie's canon, until the divers arrived. Well played, Boylei.

[@marshawargo7238]

I was stuck with why Zombies needed a breathing apparatus😮!? Also, no barnacles? On the poop deck bridge😂

[@leXie1337_chan]

@@marshawargo7238Clearly, the zombies died while diving, so they have the apparatuses but don't need them. However, being respectable sailors in life, they still scrape the hull of their ship to remove the barnacles. :p

[@PsychoEkan]

I recommend a metal "base" underneath all buildings that don't have a level flooring, so you can put a magnet in the base of the model and have it stick. Otherwise minature games get very complicated because your units are sliding along everywhere >.

[@urzaz]

Revealing the finished miniatures and *then* showing how you kitbashed the diving-specific parts together was really effective. It's obvious you put a ton of work into those but i don't think HF could ask for a better demo of their tool.

[@TWIGROT]

Zombies and shipwrecks-they go together like bacon and eggs! Thx for the video-EXCELLENT work! 😎👍

[@dndiglett8909]

You could say EGGCELLENT

[@jimmd68]

More like rancid bacon and rotten eggs!

[@iain.sm.c]

There's something about the light refractions that make this build so satisfying.

[@christopherm7858]

Moon landing or rover on moon or mars

[@ral_ordo5157]

The Venus probe would cool also

[@Matthew_Lawless]

Mars landing

[@awldune]

I like it

[@Akavir7]

Landing the moon on a rover?

[@someonesnobody2222]

​@@Akavir7 Yes

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Can't go wrong with some zombies! Making them soggy, crusty underwater zombies makes it even creepier = better. Fabulous job with the painting, even more than usual. Hmm... does this kitbashing feature mean that we're one step closer to seeing some chupacabra mermaids?

[@blackc1479]

Ok. Chupicabra mermaids just beat out my previous best name for a band: supplicating axolotyls.

[@animatorxstudios100]

what a sweet little HARMLESS octopus! nice build as always!

[@BB_Chaptsick]

The usual Sunday morning post from Boylei ceases to amaze. Blue rings on this harmless octopus… hahaha. Thankfully they don’t get that big. But, on the other hand, that’d make them easier to spot. What a fun project! Looks fantastic! See you next week, sir.

[@FizzieWebb]

methinks you forgot a word in that first sentence bud. Boylei *never* ceases to amaze.

[@navyjetmech204]

"Harmless" little blue rings eh... deadliest creature on the entire layout. Well played.

[@charlessapp1835]

As a hardwood company we specialize in Balsa wood. LOL Good one Boylei!

[@modelermark172]

This is excellent, Boylei! A gameboard that doubles as a diorama! It also proves that you don't need a clear resin pour to achieve effective underwater scenes. Using XPS to make your ship is a good idea that should also work for an intact wargaming terrain as well as for a wreck. (I'm going to have to make a model ship this way, someday . . . .) Though your Zombie Divers look pretty cool, maybe you could make an alternate set of figures for Ghost Pirate Skeletons, as well. My like is in the 2.6Ks.

[@georgekristoff7151]

with this amazing ship build, as well as the others, I love to see a diorama with the Black Pearl V. Flying Dutchman, Queen Anne's Revenge, Silent Mary, & HMS Endevor.

[@blackc1479]

I'm glad to see that someone is finally acknowledging that the undead do have outside interests other than scarfing the organs of the hated living.

[@ColeWilliams-qj5db]

The quarter deck is higher than the main deck, but lower than the poop deck. The poop deck is the highest deck and is located at the rear of the ship.

[@alessiodecarolis]

Really amazing, the possibility of virtual kitbashing your figures add a new flavor to the hobby!👍

[@XyntakLP]

I am BEYOND stoked for the kitbashing feature! Now I'll just need to learn 3D printing, mini painting, and all this other stuff XD

[@wayward5219]

Be like me and only in Heroforge for making a library of cool guys!

[@roadskare63]

BRO!!!!!! DAYUM!!!!!......That came out GREAT!!!!!....simple, neat, but still full of details that make it fun to look at on the game table, or display shelf!🙌

[@ryaneasley1826]

I watch every week and think this is one of my favorite videos so far. When I first saw the thumbnail, I foolishly wasn’t expecting the ship to be hand made. Of course it is! Even the sponsored ad was fun and interesting. Keep ‘em coming. I hope this channel offers you the financial support you deserve.

[@NuggetsDungeonTerrain]

Your weird west stuff is the most original, inspiring and creative stuff out there. This takes it to a whole new level, location and genre. Makes me wonder if there isn't a time or place you couldn't do. Looking forward to more of similar or different... either way keep going!

[@Craftlngo]

the kitbashing feature on Hero Forge is a game changer! I'm looking forward to use it for some own minis

[@carrie4910]

Looks awesome! Love the watery ripples paint job.

[@markfriesen1435]

The flippers made from capes is pure genius

[@cnlnews8967]

'Ay lads what's that on the Horizen?' "Sir its a ship" "Are those zombies lad"

[@jupiiteru3599]

This concept would be such an awesome game! Make your kit, go treasure hunting in the depths of the sea fight some monsters and use your plunder to improve your gear

[@AchanCham_]

That paint job of the underwater sunlight effect is incredible! Great job and thank you for sharing this video!

[@ck-tb3xl]

"harmless little octopus"

[@renedemers8218]

I'm so glad the kitbashing feature is at the testing phase. I've been eagerly awaiting it since they said they wanted to develop.

[@hazonku]

Never had any interest in Hero Forge as I'm a capable Zbrush sculptor and make all of my models from scratch. I've also never really had the time or interest for tabletop war gaming but now that they have a kitbash feature I just might have to check it out. Great build. The airbrushed caustic lighting came out AMAZING!!!

[@bwild7859]

A quick line with a pencil through the cut lines in the foam really make them not look like foam, I like using it for blocks and stuff but if you had a sharpened pencil it would probably work well for wood, just don’t press hard or you will tear the foam. Great video!

[@Necromi]

Super excited for Hero forge kitbashing! Thanks for showing us.

[@graefx]

I was expecting a massive resin pour. But the dappled underwater effect is beautiful and really convincing.

[@herbveitenhans3285]

Really like the modular nature of this build and being able to use it as more than a standard diorama.

[@Simonsimon-fy3hq]

Charcoal grill = mask protection cover. Very clever.

“Once my work station was free from debris…” *bars* 😆😆😆

[@kylenosleeves3934]

An undersea world like you do the wild imaginary west would be awesome. Divers vs zombies and ghost pirates.

[@3vrLol]

Dude, that paintjob on the zombies was god tier, awesome!

[@FiveTen007]

HF pro was worth it for the custom color gallery and community pose library, but damn this new feature changes everything, we've come so far from the old simple custom ttrpg minis

[@livanbard]

That kitbash feature got me engaged. It works similary on how a mod from a game a like works.

[@alexhalliburton2662]

The light rays REALLY sold this!! Amazing job. I would feel so immersed (pun intended) playing a D&D encounter on that set

[@joshuab4586]

So the poop deck is always above the Captain’s quarters if that helps

[@TacoTroubles]

im usually terrified of the ocean but something about old timey dive suits and harpoon guns really gets me in the mood to do some undersea crafting

[@mr.d.rektorstudios]

I was hoping this'd be an actual kitbashing for minis video, not just an ad for heroforge

[@TheDrakeofwarwick]

[@PKTCrafts]

Great project man! Lovely paint job!

[@DafyddRoche]

Pachobels cannon… good one.

[@bentroskie3190]

very cool, i do prefer when you use models without baseplates as you get their orientation more natural. still, very nicely done.

[@edanwallgejw]

This is so amazing! Love your creativity Boylei! Thanks for this awesome video.

[@VtwinGuy5]

Another amazing diorama! Whenever I see zombies like these I always think of the scene in the animated cult classic movie Heavy Metal. In the scene a WW2 bomber's crew turns into zombies after being killed but the pilot bails out just in time. After parachuting to "safety" on a tropical island he discovers he is surrounded by plane wrecks that are full of zombie crewmen. The entire scene is less than 4 min long but it has always stayed with me since I saw it as a teenager in the late 80's. This might make for a great diorama. Link to the scene: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHamXoSVfaiYhMksi=ieC0wyhuGmyYikhC

[@Ernzt8]

Another amazing build and miniatures! Love the sunray effect

[@LateSaucyJack]

Blue rings make an octopus very NOT harmless….. But awesome work as always

Beautiful ship! I liked making models in Hero Forge, and that kit-bashing function looks like the perfect feature to add!

[@sir_captainmorgan]

[@Jumdabum]

Adding the blue rings to the octopus made it far from harmless lol

[@FreshlyBakedLePain]

As an Australian the most terrifying thing in this build is the Blue Ringed Octopus

Though this is, as usual, an excellent work; both the ship and the bottom of the sea lacks algae, clams, barnacles and « fauna and flora ».

[@Wad3c]

that figure with the bayonet cannon is awsome

[@Red_Cat4888]

A thought I’ve had for a while - once, in your wild imaginary west series, you mentioned that the monster trade invokes not just pelts and trophies but the occasional love monster ad a pet. Would LOVE to see what said pair would look like, and also what monsters are of a “pet” class. Love your work!

[@awldune]

Awesome build, but I am skeptical of the practicality of a bayonet on the cannon 😄

[@mallninja3797]

Love these minis man. Look like they'd be great for table top wargaming.

[@LifeIsAnArt95]

I ALWAYS love your work. Totally amazing!!! But this scratch built ship just blew me away!!! ...and the kit-bashed miniatures rocked!!! 👏

[@Jay-ql4gp]

I know it would be a giant pain but it would be really cool to see that in resin like it was really underwater.
