MODULAR Arcane Circles! Tabletop terrain for Dungeons and Dragons or Frostgrave!

Today we are making some arcane circles that are modular! This D&D terrain tutorial is only on Dice Chatter!
This Arcane Circle terrain build is perfect for tabletop games such as Frostgrave, Mordheim or even Dungeons & Dragons!
This is a great way to get started in making some tabletop terrain for new folks and those that are experienced tabletop crafters as well.

I don't know how I missed this episode but I'm glad it was recommended. Your videos are consistently some of my favorite on youtube.

[@DiceChatter]

I appreciate it Matt! It's the kind words like yours that help keep the video train moving!

[@terrainaholic]

VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!!! Love the way it looks and the ability to swap out circles is OVER THE TOP!!!!!! Great work Buddy!!!!!!

[@DiceChatter]

Thanks a bunch! Always appreciate your feedback Terrainaholic!

[@Phanterinos]

6:22 that's a heck of a bottle of glue!

[@DiceChatter]

Hahahha! When you make a lot of terrain, you need a big ass jug!

[@direden]

These are fantastic... in so many ways. Unique style, tremendous modularity, and relatively easy to build.

[@DiceChatter]

Thanks DireDen! Glad you enjoyed the build! Sometimes I come up with some half decent ideas. 😊

[@TheSchokomac]

He is wearing a cap inside but thats ok because it has dinosaurs on it.

[@chbhr4972]

Very cool idea to have customized war band displays AND cool modular terrain. I can feel the magic ! ;)

[@DiceChatter]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the build!

The tabletop's ambiance is coming together quite nicely. I also noticed your view count on your build videos is rising. I do not have proxon, my scroll saw would disturb the neighbors, an airbrush is a tool I admire; though quite fiddly, and 3-D printers though nice break often after a while. I do appreciate that these builds can be made without expensive gadgets with simple inexpensive tools. You put quite a bit of effort into editing these videos and they sparkle young man. Keep up the good work and remember it's all about getting the game up and running; never let yourself obsess over having the perfect models. Just have a good time, relax, and keep making memories.

[@DiceChatter]

Alazar, you are wise and kind. I appreciate your comment more than you know. I am glad to have you as a viewer and it is always a good idea to take some time to relax and enjoy the projects you are working on. Cheers buddy 😁

[@DevsDice]

Awesome work Donny! Love the MODULARITY! 👍🙂

[@DiceChatter]

Thanks buddy! Always appreciate your assistance as well!

[@johanenerskog2348]

And the mug! 😂👍🏻

[@RobertDewey-nu7sp]

I really like the skull and red summoning circles! they exude danger!!

[@DiceChatter]

Thanks Robert! They do look a bit spooky!

[@DIYKOM]

What a wonderful and modular way to do arcane circles!

[@DiceChatter]

Thank you DIYKOM!

[@anotherzingbo]

A very heavy, "wet" drybrush is typically known as overbrushing. 🙂

[@DiceChatter]

Ahhhh of course! Thanks Zingbo!

[@fortesqueca]

Great looking terrain pieces and love the modularity of it.

[@DiceChatter]

Thanks Iron Chef! Glad you enjoy them!

[@johanenerskog2348]

Awesome! Just about to do some teleportation circles myself and this was just the inspiration I needed. Keep it up!!

[@DiceChatter]

Awesome Johan! Thank you!

[@Atlas3060]

I like this process because instead of arcane circles, I can use these for something else. I play Alpha Strike, so for artillery barrages or any area of effect damage, I could just whip out a circle and put it next near my Mechs. Slap a Faction logo on it to show where and who the shot came from. Neat.

[@DiceChatter]

Thank Atlas! As long as you have a structure and an easy dimension to follow, like you said, you can make anything!

[@Bluecho4]

One way to ensure the circular platform bricks remain, well, circular, is to put some kind of circular object inside as you're layering the bricks. Like a Pringles can or the like. If nothing is the right size, you could roll a sheet of cardstock and tape it into a tube, using the arcane circles as a size guide.

[@DiceChatter]

Ahhh yes, this is also a very good idea!

[@robbieleeson6341]

DUUUUUUUDE WHAT!? These are so darn cool!

[@DiceChatter]

ROOOOBBBIIIEEEEE! Thanks buddy, glad you enjoy the build!

[@robbieleeson6341]

@@DiceChatter mate, you get I did! Itching to make my own summoning circles!!

[@DiceChatter]

@@robbieleeson6341 happy to hear buddy!

[@metajock]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Good idea. I can see doing "fills" instead of circles, like skeleton pile or pool/well. Well done!!!

[@DiceChatter]

Thanks, James! I really like that idea as well!

[@TheMichaellathrop]

What about pin washing the grooves between the stones with a thin white paint or ink, and then doing a tight spray along those lines of a colored ink.

[@Ryanironwolf]

Great stuff! Love the level your table is getting to!

[@DiceChatter]

Thanks Ryanironwolf! Hoping it will get even better!

[@noxiousbones]

Just an idea: Bell-tower topper for the tall piece. (With a ladder to access)

[@DiceChatter]

Ooooohhh, yes! I'll add this to my "terrain build ideas" list!

[@the_peasant]

Love it! These would be great as Objective Markers where you flip the disc depending on what faction controls it. I’ll have to build some of these! Thanks for the idea - I look forward to seeing your Frostgrave warbands fight over these!

[@DiceChatter]

Thanks Peasant! I'm excited to use them in my next game as well!

[@vintagezebra5527]

Just found your channel this morning! What a great idea! I love that these can be re-themed. With storage at a premium, I appreciate terrain that can be used over and over, especially if it can be easily adapted to new scenes or styles of game.

[@DiceChatter]

Glad to have you around Zebra! And with my terrain storage becoming smaller and smaller every week, I thought the same thing!

[@jtrow5023]

Awesome job 👍

[@DiceChatter]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@eternalkorrigan]

Wooooow that's awesome

[@DiceChatter]

Thanks eternalkorrigan! Really glad you enjoyed the build!

[@manuelcolazo6752]

You could use CDs as bases

[@DiceChatter]

That's a great idea!

[@keggers5483]

Those are very original and evocative, and they look really nice! Sounds like they take about a full day of work to build?

[@DiceChatter]

Hey Keggers! I'd say more than a day for everything I built in the video. Let the goop dry overnight and paint the build in the morning.

[@zan327]

Cool buuld

[@DiceChatter]

Thank you!

[@thesapodcast]

Great video as always! Do you remember where you got that cool ass werewolf looking mini at 9:15?

[@DiceChatter]

Thank you! And it was from GWs "Cursed City" box set that came out a while back. Don't know if it is available anymore... 😐
