Making A Warhammer Swamp Diorama With An Epoxy Lake (Kruelboyz Display)

In this video I show you my take on crafting a little warhammer fantasy display diorama for those kruel orc fellas.

Sehr professionell und cool

[@KrisPaintsMinis]

This was amazing to watch. I'm looking at building a similar kind of board for my Space Wolves that have a Blair Witch/Pagan vibe to them, so terrain is this similar dark forrest, swamp feel.

Beneful as always

I love it. This is almost everything I love about this hobby in one video (the only thing missing is narrative campaigns/storytelling through gaming). Exactly the kind of channel I want to follow. Instant subscribe!

Amazing work brother, you really make it look easy :) Stumbled upon your post on the AoS Reddit looking for inspiration and out of 100+ posts this is the one!

looks super cool! *.* Can you build something like this in 90x90 cm and with many levels / many tree houses and wooden houses? need some inspiration for my "the drowned earth" record :D

Nice ;)

[@MenschWerdeWesentlich]

Great work! The process shows a lot of experience and knowledge of techniques and materials. It’s nice to refresh my memory of some rarely used ones and even discover a new one here and there. Hot glue mushrooms are added to the arsenal! My point of constructive criticism would be the color of the water. Way too green for my tastes. „Schau mal, ein Fluss aus Götterspeise!“ 😜 A more brackish color and floating particles would have added extra verisimilitude to the scene.

[@benecrafts3502]

Hehe, da hast du recht. Meine Augen verstehen sich nicht so gut auf grün und rot, deshalb fällt der Effekt bei mir selbst nicht ganz so drastisch aus. Aber vor allem hatte ich keine braune Tinte mehr deshalb hoffte ich, ich könnte den Effekt als korrumpiertes Resultat der Mixtruen des Ork-Schamanen verkaufen... hat wohl nicht ganz geklappt :D Danke dir auf jeden Fall für den Kommentar und die Anmerkung!

[@MenschWerdeWesentlich]

@@benecrafts3502 Gern! Hab auch gleich ein Abo dagelassen. Hast du verdient. Weiter so! Das mit dem grünen Wasser ist ja eh reine Geschmacksache. Und ich gebe dir vollkommen recht: Wenn das Material ausgeht, schiebt man es eben auf die Magie. Zieht immer. Macht man in Hollywood ja auch so.

[@x-tareverything]

I realy want to know what you used for the branches and where you found them because u genuinely want to build a board like this!!?!?!? Looks awsome!!!

[@benecrafts3502]

Thanks a lot! I actually collected roots from fallen trees in the forest, gave them a dap into isopropanol and dried them in the oven.

[@dpemberton13]

Incredible work. What is the black plastic used on the sides to hold the resin epoxy and hide the foam sides? Also did you just use real chunks of wood with bark? I saw another comment about the roots, so I assume so! Thankfully I live in a forest.

[@benecrafts3502]

Thank you so much! The platic is called polystrol and I bought it from an architecture shop. The Bark is actually bought kork-bark. While I really like using free materials from outside as much as I can. With bark I generally stick with treated Stuff from the craftstore. Hope that helps =)

[@dpemberton13]

@@benecrafts3502 I’m going to copy some of your ideas and use it as inspiration for my chaos knight display board I’m working on! Did the plastic come colored black ? I’ve got some styrene plastic that is white colored. Thanks so much for the reply!

[@Chrysaetos11]

I've started painting WH miniatures. My end goal is to have them in diorama's. I've no clue what stuff I have to buy though besides clay, glue, paint, cardboard, styrofoam, and gather some sticks and branches. How do you make that water? And 0:40 and 1:15 what's that stuff?

[@benecrafts3502]

Really glad to hear that you started enjoying this great hobby :) The water is made using epoxy-resin, but there are also a bit more beginner friendly alternatives (at least for waterspots with less depth) like woodlandscenics "Realistic Water". The stuff at 0:40 is called "Sculptamold" and is basically plaster with papier-mâché - you can buy it premixed or do it yourselfs there are some tutorials on how to do it out there I guess. The Stuff at 1:15 is basically a mixture out of ovenheated soil from the garden and pva glue. I hope that helps!

[@scathezombiestu3156]

Play NECROPOLIS28 on this now!!!!

[@Zakethehero]

What did you use for the tree leaves? That works really well, but I haven't seen something like that at my local stores!

[@benecrafts3502]

Just checked up the name ^^ It´s realistic flor from a german brand called Heiki.
