Making a Necromunda HIVE CITY | Warhammer 40k terrain

[@emman799]

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy" - Obi Wan Kenobi

[@Andrewlikesguns]

I think he was talking about Craigslist.

[@dendronkenfoetus]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but the combination between great, inspiring builds, little tid-bits of interesting information and the odd dad-joke here and there really makes your vids an absolute pleasure to watch!

[@thomrade]

Jesus the combination with your other terrain makes this possible the greatest Necromunda table ever built. I'd love to see a battlereport done on this table! Nice work Eric!

[@UnkleKlumsy1353]

The ripper Jack's sign is my favourite part of the entire build

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Im pretty pleased with that too! It turned out awesome

[@misternice5687]

Fun fact. The pink building is Paul Smith. A fashion designer from Nottingham, where Warhammer was created. It’s the city that keeps on giving. Love your work and your channel Eric. Bless you 💛

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

No way! Thats awesome haha

[@markzambelli]

(Yet thanks to an infamous Sheriff it was the city that kept on taking... until Robin that is😊)

[@shaelas]

awesome, a new Necromunda terrain video from Eric was just what I needed for today :) All the best for 2023, Eric, keep up the great work!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thank you, all the best to you for the new year as well 😊

[@noisemaker111]

I’ll never grow tired of these necromunda style Builds you do Eric . They inspire me every time you upload

[@B1gNub8U]

duuuuude hyped to see that finished titan! I've been keeping up with it since you posted so can't wait to see what you've got. keep up the amazing work

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Its not close to finished, but i am really stoked to show the progress

[@drfishynooooo881]

Really appreciate how this doesn't rely entirely on 3d printing

[@JakeStaines]

Here in the UK we usually just call the kind of chipboard you find on the back of pads of paper "cardboard", in everyday use. If you want to actually buy something like it from a supplier without having an annoying conversation about exactly what kind of cardboard you mean, then it's "greyboard". We don't have "legal pads" though, we use sensible paper sizes over here like civilised people. :P (Note I said *like* civilised people. Don't get me wrong, the UK population barely qualifies as civilised.)

[@NuclearFridge1]

I hear you. I get grief for speaking in whole sentences and not using text terms.

[@WotanSkyFather]

When you combined it with the other underhive terrain my mind went >BOOM

[@noexpensespentstudios]

As wonderful as new terrain kits are, there's something really rewarding about using rubbish in an innovative way like this. All the different ways to make pipes could have been an entire video all on its own. Really enjoyed the use of colour in this too, proving you can have bright colours and keep it grimdark. As always, genuinely inspirational content.

[@Wildonion1]

The shots of all your sets together feels like something you would find in an old White Dwarf. Just an absurd, realistic slice of Necromunda that you can only marvel at, wondering how the mad genius did it. Thankfully, we get to see how the sausage is made!

[@ishamakkusu]

Not enough hazard stripes or toxic sludge to be in 1990s WD though!

[@carellinakatuin7951]

I love when you are making necromunda terrain and this is your best build to date, awesome.

[@TheKsalad]

We have to see all your Necromunda boards put together for a giant gangfight/Darktide photoshoot

[@tannergee]

One of my favorite builds you've shown us has been the smoke stack shanty town. And I've been dying to see more like it. This has blown it out of the park, Looked absolutely amazing!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!

[@guadalupemunoz1767]

It was so fun watching the camera go from one end to the other

[@SuperKingslaw]

Sweet! This really proves that bright color and grim-dark are not mutually exclusive. In fact the colorfulness really accentuates the Grim-dark aesthetic.

[@antontama]

As always, Eric is doing something mesmerizing with his terrain skills and narrative telling inside of it. The only thing felt left behind is some kind of utility lights sources. That's totally awesome already, but I personally think some imitation of a light bulbs here and there would make this piece even more convincing and immersive. New frames need analyzing; click Analyze.

[@jackrackham3406]

Ever since I first saw your underhive shanty town video like, six months ago, I've been waiting for another build that scratches the same itch, and MAN is this it. That is one hell of a hive stack, man!

[@axcel9128]

One can always feel your joy for the hobby very strongly in every video keep up the vibe

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Aw thanks, glad that comes across

[@NickMK]

these videos are so chill and you can see the improvisation and raw creativeness take shape on video. Oh btw great video description.

[@Zodd83]

AAAWWWW. Love it. The mix of elevation, poured concrete with a touch of ArtDeco arched style, shantyville colours and metal. Perfection.

[@KnarbMakes]

So much detail in such a large footprint. I love this terrain so much Eric! So many stories can be developed here.

[@kirkgeier417]

It works so great as a backdrop for a necromunda table! Gives the impression of the hive city stretching on forever

[@djinn9504]

i watch a lot of guys make stuff on youtube. but theres very few who have a vibe where i think "man he'd be cool to just kick it with" truly i hope your channel grows even further man, youre one of the good ones

[@Martdogg3000]

I struggle consistantly with my motivation to paint miniatures. Sometimes I look at them and I just think it's all stupid and pointless and why waste my time. And then I see things like this and I can't feel anything other than "this is the coolest shit in the whole world." It does a lot to help me not give up on my hobby.

[@benweinberg3819]

With all the prior builds put together, it really seems like it was all built deliberately together from the beginning of the channel. A magnificent centerpiece of terrain!

[@dogedad5172]

gotta be one of my fav videos yet man. reminds me of some of the art direction from necromunda and darktide

[@Moxiltws]

The sign hanged by chains feels so real thats amazing! Inspiring video!

[@juancarlosmarcos7401]

A Mazing!!! I was thinking about making it more variable and different every time and then you added the other pieces of terrain... I was O.o Beautiful job there! ;)

[@Le_Petit_Lapin]

That's absolutely stunning man! Hive city's are my absolute favoure part of the lore, it's just such a dystopian hellhole.

[@hyperbene7711]

Holy, holy that was good. I just want to wander those stairs and tunnels and get to know the neighborhood! You had me from the first piece of foam; that pillared circle looks like an art deco train station but you made it even cooler. Congrats

[@vampyrjack]

awesome awesome awesome build.. Dammit Eric, can only hold so much inspiration at a time!

[@gallusdomesticuskfptechpriest]

13:08 I really like having a walkway in the middle of the tunnel like you did there - it makes it feel like a useful, real place

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

I love the vertical build on this one! You don't really see terrain pieces going up on the table top, and you can imagine fire fights taking place on all the platforms. Better have some drop rigs though!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Im a grav chute guy myself! I did a wuick skirmish with my brother on it a few weeks ago (it was unfinished) and one of his goliaths fell from near the top all the way to the bottom and was unhurt. Thats always fun and memorable too

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Indeed. That would be terrifying to witness a Goliath going full Matrix mode!

[@lz1094]

seriously my most favourite piece of terrain i have ever seen. this wants me to start necromunda and also building terrain, even though I have zero space for either atm. i really wanna loose myself again in an never ending orgy of tabletop madness! Thank you eric for this one! love it so much!

[@josray2557]

This is like your cyberpunk build that had the chemical pool and the desert fort combined I loved those places. What a massive and impressive piece. Funny that I was about to comment on the absence of the Titan and you addressed it as well.

[@emilienmoussie809]

The most impressive piece of terrain you"ve ever made! At the same time gigantic and full of details and life. The fact that is all from scratch is what I prefer, it makes me think like I could do the same !

[@ono1381]

Yeah this is great. I'm so glad to see the full vid after that tantalising couple of pics in the discord. That an interesting piece of foam started all this was such a familiar feeling

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Glad you liked it! It was a long time coming

[@Johnny350Z]

I must have bought the same exact monitor as you Eric. So glad I didn't toss the packaging before I saw this, going to attempt my own hive city for some kill team action. Amazing work as always!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Did you get it at costco?

[@Johnny350Z]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop I did! Was during a Black Friday sale.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

@@Johnny350Z hahaha right on. Yeah probably the same one!

[@Denbot7]

The Super Soaker 50 was legendary. Everyone I knew in Australia in the mid 90’s had one of those babies.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Truly a classic indeed

[@1polvomagico]

You have outdone yourself mister, this board is amazing and I love the fact you have gone back (at least a little) to your roots.

[@viciousyeen6644]

Man, seeing it combined with your other builds is AMAZING! What I would give to play at your table~

[@EricWier]

This looks wonderful, capturing the iconic verticality of necromunda. I like how much less bulky the stairs you used. This will be a real delight to use in games and to take photos!

[@HistoricLife]

Super nice. I am talking up a campaign with my local game club. Nice timing for this video

[@trustrossa8673]

The posters and signs added such life into this little world, and loved how much fun you seemed to have making them.

[@maniaxter206]

As a brit, I found the crisp jokes hilarious. Well done on the build, looks amazing

[@gregq8]

Love it, feels so cozy

[@christopherjoachimwallat1429]

Very nice build, your Necromunda content is top notch. I also like the models you showed in the end, an interesting mix of old and new ones and some inspiring kitbashes.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks! My collection has been slowly growing and its pretty cool now

[@beachtrooper2061]

I watched you transformation on the corpse grinder cult a while ago, and after that me and my friends have been obsessed with necromunda

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Awesome! I haven’t looked at those models much since that video, but i was playing around with them last night…they’re really cool, i had forgotten

[@Jaws.of.Fenrir]

Phenomenal! I'm always put off by using cardboard and styrene, but then you see the final product here and it looks straight from some late 80s sci-fi movie! Id love to play on a board like this, so many different routes and options.

[@colinmacrae4323]

The feeling I got watching this video reminded me of when I was a kid with no money to buy any tabletop stuff. I still loved to pour through codexes and look at terrain and wonder how they built it though. Thanks for giving me that joy again!!

[@billdefranza4927]

"Sensual Spackle Massage" could be a channel name, lol. 3 minutes in, and this is already EPIC. Always awesome, Eric!

[@darrenwoodhead6219]

O.M.G! The creativity on this build is amazing! I loved the signs and details... those are what make any build special! Awesome Job Eric, as always!

[@tombruce515]

Been looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint. LOVE the signs you made so much :)

[@Boylei]

I love this build and video! Well done, man!

[@Cosmicgarlic41]

Sick!!! Your Necromunda terrain is what got me into the game! Thank you

[@andrewdrauth]

There's some absolutely killer tips and tricks dispersed throughout this video. Awesome and I can't wait to see where you take this setting.

[@jerric1228]

I’ve seen a few examples of vertical gaming tables and haven’t tried it out myself yet, but I’m really stoked to, it’s such a cool concept.

[@NogoatsnogloryOld]

I literally checked your page this morning cause i thought it had been a while since we saw a video from you. Great build as always. Love seeing the Necromunda and Mordheim content on your channel.

[@pastoradamt]

Eric! I love watching you build these projects! I really think you understand the 40k Zeitgeist and you build such coooool projects.

[@BigTastey]

Absolutely incredible!! I love the corrugated iron and the “spot of rust with drips” technique is stunning!!!! Soo convincing. OMG when you added your other previous builds at the end it looked like the lower level of a big city!!

[@patrickbateman69420]

The Ripper Jack's definitely gave me dystopian future vibes! Very cyberpunk/star citizen, looks *awesome* and is my favourite piece of the build 👌 9:26 what you refer to as "North American Chipboard" we mostly call "greyboard" in the UK in the context of crafting. You might also see it referred to as "craftboard", or informally as "thick card" or "crafting card" by people who don't know the actual official names. You sometimes see it referred to as "backing board" or "mount board" in the context of framed pictures (i.e. what pictures are mounted to in their frames...) and that's pretty much the exact same material. Over here it's not (or is incorrectly) referred to as cardboard, chipboard, fibreboard or particle board, etc. Source: I have a degree in engineering, have worked in two local arts&crafts shops as summer jobs before university, have worked in construction after becoming qualified, and am into photography just as a hobby.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thats helpful! Thanks

[@PikemanxPete]

Eventually Eric will build so much hive city terrain that an actual tiny chaos cult will take over the forgotten sublevels. Then he'll need to hire tiny inquisition agents to delve into what was once his basement and save the day.

[@purpledragonofdoom]

In my opinion this is one of the best build you ever showed on this channel ! I loved the attention to details with the posters, the hanging wiring and the pipes... Really great work you did there. I can't wait for whatever you have to show in 2023 !

[@BionicPerry1970]

Amazing as usual! A real HUGE step up from the smaller shanty section you built months ago (which I still hella love!)

[@neilandrews2995]

That's amazing all I would add to that is some random gang graffiti..and some 'alien' rat graffiti. For parts 2 and possibly 3 make the higher levels, you know the fancy ones..all the way up..and maybe down. Even connect them by pathways..make it titan sized.

[@izaakjohnson2723]

I was having a bad day....thank you so much Eric for making it better with this awesome video ❤

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I gotchu bro ❤️

[@izaakjohnson2723]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop wow! You're the man! Also, how do we send you gifts? I have a model for you.

[@adapax77]

Never apologise for doing stairs sensibly Eric! The ones that people do so models can be wedged into them always look wack 😆 yours are superior!

[@MKempICI]

Wow! After seeing those pink buildings, I feel closer to the citizens of the 41st millennium than ever. Truly, we live in a time of unparalleled horror. Well done on the board, sir!

[@millroyminiatures3622]

You make the best necromunda terrain. Your random build phase and weathering stages are second to none!

[@morganw.4711]

I love your sense of humor and the delightful historical tidbits you throw in occasionally.

[@Berserkerworks]

Great piece man! This is a fantastic backdrop

[@patrickdillon500]

I love that idea for building the angled pipe with foam and then filling with plastic wood.

[@painterpiperspaceman]

You're an inspiration Eric, amazing work here, and can't wait for the next update!

[@ecMonify]

wow, probably my favourite build of yours so far! those signs add so much character. the only thing i think would make it even better would be graffiti everywhere! :D

[@urfthemanatee5698]

The "chipboard - crisp board" killed me lol! Great job

[@alex4alexn]

Really awesome build! Only thing i think might be great on the next one is a few bullet holes around the place or maybe a sign for the hierarchy that has been shot like crazy. I dont even know how you would make a convincing bullet hole. Amazing build and cant wait for the next one!

[@missKaotica]

This is a great build but I do think it's missing something and that's graffiti. They clearly have access to brightly coloured paint and with all the gangs around it seems like a thematic addition.

[@NinetaleHobbies]

I'm working on a vertical skirmish game and your Necromunda stuff always helps to inspire me on my project. Thanks a bunch.

[@rat-matt-miniatures8705]

LOVE IT!!! This really gives me the vibes I want in a Necromunda board. An amazing build.

[@DudeOnASkateboard]

It took one Google search for Imperator Titans, a link, two videos, about forty minutes, and that joke about featureless pink buildings to secure my subscription. I didn't know I would find this gem of a channel, but I'm glad I did!

[@fredericthalheimer3811]

I am always amazed, how you get the Hive city alive in your builds. Happy new year.

[@DanielMarkham-x3v]

WOW. The Ripper Jack's sign is next level. Love your work. So inspirational

The best part of working in an office… being able to watch Eric’s Hobbywork shop

[@garybuettner7920]

That turned out FANTASTIC! I don’t play any tabletop games (used to play HEROSCAPE, kinda like a Warhammer-lite) but I love the terrain build videos. Great stuff!

[@shakespeare5215]

This is amazing! If you ever feel the need to add to your collection of massive projects, this is screaming out for the addition of a scaven undercity diorama below it!

[@samsolopeeps]

I love this so much. I can see all the thought that went into the colour choices. It really paid off

[@chris.replay]

Incredible build and perfectly timed considering the popularity of Darktide! Only thing I think it's missing is maybe a bit of grafitti? Keep up the great work!

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

Just amazing, so many cool ideas but balanced perfectly. Off to make a single building half as cool as this. The hanging wires and custom signs make it for me.

[@ПрохорШаляпин-о8с]

💥💥💥Whoa! This ROCKS! Inspiring work right here! 💥💥💥

[@ashkarmann]

Firstly, in the UK we call it hardboard. Secondly, thank you for the great content, your one of the reasons I got back into the hobby. Keep up the awesome work.

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

A great look at the process of adding bits to a build until you call it done, with fantastic results. I also keep a miniature handy to check each part as I go, but I always use an unpainted figure because I know I’ll probably get glue or paint on it at least once.

[@LittleGiantCrafts]

Ahhh, this is so great! The level of detail is just crazy. I've always wanted to build a grimdark shantytown and this is giving me so many ideas! Also, putting off a project for ages before finishing it...too relatable 😅

[@ivovanroij]

Man, this was a rollercoaster of going from a cool idea to an awesome build to a sick end-result. Great man!

[@SFEphobos]

By the throne! Eric, truly impressive piece you have there. It looks so good. Very well done!

I'm subscribed for your Necromunda builds, and this is your crowning achievement so far! Looking forward to seeing what more you have in store for Necromunda!
