That 45° cut at the corners was so brilliant! These look fantastic and even though I'm not running any post-apocalyptic games, the wheels are already spinning in my head for D&D. Castle jail, anyone?

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Wood palisades!

[@claylewis8233]

I could see repeating the concrete base at the top, giving it a more giant wall feel. embellish with some dwarven runes here and there. great dwarven outpost/prison facility! tons of possibilities.

[@tokrakcrafts967]

I came to realize the real power of 45° angled walls about 2 months ago, if you want to you can check out my crafting vids to see some of the things you can do with those.

[@miseq4342]

even more brilliant would be cutting 1,5x1 inch rectangle straight into 2 trapezium, saving a lot of time and no extra trash :D

[@andreweckford6319]

Something similar for a modern setting - bremer wall blocks with the 'feet' cut at 45 for making army base perimeters and similar. daemonbanes.blogspot.com/2018/03/terrain-build-bremer-walls-1m-of.html

[@dyrckhughes2463]

Just wanted to compliment the newer video format for your builds. The explanations of what you are doing along with the video of the process works so much better for me. I thank you for all of the time and effort you put into the production of these how to videos.

[@adamscholtes]

Agreed. The time and effort is really showing up - video quality, format and script - as well as little gems of wisdom - all on point!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I'm curious to know what you mean by "new format". I haven't really done a specific format change, over time I've just evolved slowly getting the format down to what I think flows best. But I'm always curious to know what is working and why. Feel free to elaborate, it helps me.....or not, I'm just glad you're enjoying :)

[@WilSisney]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial The last several videos do seem to have a fresh flair to them. I think one reason is that you're showing stuff that works alongside the stuff you didn't like or had to adapt to overcome. That adaptation path has been really illuminating and I feel like a better crafter after seeing how you pivot.

[@st4lsell123]

Welcome to the wargamming terrain game. We've been waiting for you. I am so excited in the direction your going in and i love the work youve already done thus far

Looks great, and great vid!

Those were really nice nightlords at the end

[@BazztheBazz]

Definitely making these for my Battletech table

[@CaptainBipto]

They look awesome. Looking forward to seeing what other sci-fi/post apocalypse terrain pieces you build next.

[@saucercrabzero]

For a great, fast, cheap way to add metal-looking detail strips, ask a big box store to save you some plastic pallet strapping, it's about 1" wide and has a diamond pattern on it, would be great for this type of project.

[@Lowkey-NoPressure]

You could paint these purple or green and not weather them and they would look good for spaceship walls or like a mindflayer base or something

[@ImaginationHobbies]

Typhus corrosion from GW is good to use for texture before painting. Takes drybrushing well too.

[@Varadiio]

I think most viewers of this stuff are interested in more affordable options. Cheaper and bulk materials tend to be better for terrain projects, with the added benefit of trial and error sometimes finding fantastic results. Using w/e most applicable GW option doesn't help people improve much. It's nearly paint-by-numbers by design. All that said, though, if you're put off by the time in work and likelihood of failure in experimenting, GW, Vallejo, etc. have great if expensive options to just get on with it already.

[@ImaginationHobbies]

@@Varadiioya im sure when they look at the items price before they buy it they can make the decision for themselves.

[@50Caldemigod]

I know this sounds like extra work but if you find dealing with adhesion a pain look into some plastic adhesion promoter. Its basically primer for plastic and then you can move directly to sprayed base coat. I think you can get it on Amazon but I get it at my local body shop supply store.

[@craigo1981]

Loving this 40k appropriate stuff. I'm in the middle of getting terrain together for Necromunda campaigns so walls and barriers like this are perfect. More please!

[@elle-izalogan9372]

Man, I was so stunned when you started talking. I didn't read the video title or who uploaded it, I just saw the preview pic and was like: "Oh, what kind of chocolate cookies are those?". And then there's your intro and I'm like "Wait, so he makes baking videos as well?" o.O I'm glad that it's DIY barricades, though. I totally gonna make them for my Shadowrun campaign.

[@JP_Idols_of_Torment]

Chocolate cookies... made me laugh. “Hey, stop eating the terrain!”

[@sebastiangurgul6712]

Super stoked to see you doing some non-fantasy builds. These past 2 builds have been fantastic. Just gotta collect some materials and get to building. Keep em comin!

[@____________838]

I’ve been watching your videos all weekend, thank you for these “post-apoc” builds. I’m planning on mostly making stuff for Killteam, Necromunda and basic 40k, so it helps immensely!

[@miageeked3486]

Great work! Modern to future setting terrain inspiration much needed. Thank you!

[@cerethpainting6606]

I totally hear you about the airbrush. I’m the same way. Another great video. Hope you had a nice vacation!

[@lyraclemons2165]

I just got into your channel recently tho' I don't have space in an one bedroom apartment for this hobby building yet , it won't always be that way for me. You're barrier builds in this video is so cool I can see how it can also contribute to the outsider art I do at home. The acsthetic of your work is inspiring to me ! So now I'm going to look at your damaged concrete builds. Thanks for your time and efforts.

[@juliehamel8330]

With a different paint job (maybe gold) this build would make for great dwarven walls. These are the best builds! The ones that inspire to make it our own.

[@sgt-slag]

Wow... The concrete is remarkably believable, as is the rusted metal barriers. Superb work. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!

[@seanmontgomery6653]

Yes! I loved your videos before, but as a frequent 40k player i’m stoked on this new theme. Keep it up!

[@SebastienlovesCookieswirlc]

One of the best scatter tutorials for sci-fi, well done!

[@Descenter1976]

Love how the rust is flowing down onto the concrete, making it look so realistic.

[@juencadu]

Great video! I'll try it. Night Lords at the end of the video finally encouraged me to do it!

[@claylewis8233]

great video. Hope you're enjoying time off camping, have a Happy Father's day! These scream for some wall-clip sort of things to easily brand them with flags, emblems, or signs for whatever game you're playing; Space Wolves, Skaven, Vault-Tec, Star-Finders, Are 51, Willy Wonka, or whatever flavor of game you're into. Very Cool. I hope you expand on these and try doing some wall connectors, 2nd floor add-ons. Maybe weapon add-ons, like a laser turret or something? Tesla Coil zapper thingies! great work as usual!

[@adamscholtes]

1) these look great. I'll be building a set to add to my own growing grim dark board for 40k/Killteam & 2) this advice is golden (I am paraphrasing) "just play around and put it on your model. Its just paint" - yes. Trying something out and not liking the results is just as valuable. And then repaint it!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I've seen too many folks afraid of paint.....it's just paint and is easily fixed with more paint :D

[@tinaprice4948]

This video and the concrete one were both great! I will only ever do D&D terrain but you make great videos and I enjoy watching all of them. Thank you for quality entertainment :)

[@lewisharris3400]

Great build, incredibly versatile! It is not personally my thing, but I am looking forward to seeing some more post-apocalyptic builds from you

[@kentonmcdonald9584]

I enjoy your videos because they spur me to think of methods I can use based on what you've done. I'm focused on Age of Sigmar (Warhammer), so even though I won't be building any 40k barricades, your use of the knitting grids caused me to think of your review of the brick pattern rolling pins and how a cheep alternative might be made for those of us on a budget. The great thing about those grids is that you can make any pattern you want of different sized bricks, including designing "errors" that builders might have made by not offsetting some bricks or using half bricks. Once cut out, just use a Dollar Tree rolling pin over the template on your foam, and, Hey, Presto! you've got a home-made brick pattern!

[@ShadowDrakken]

These came out pretty awesome, and they read as being massive scale. Perfect for 40k

[@TheGameCraftDragon]

Great stuff, gonna build a bunch of this for my Kill Team Table.

[@marshallsonsteby3862]

[@HarleyTheCockatiel]

I brought a plastic fly swatter the other day, and I feel like you could cut those up to do this, not sure if the plastic those are made from would have better adhesion

[@jerramiemiller]

as always jeremy, good video! i love the simplicity.

[@TheGameSmithsTable]

Another inspired build! The black "granny grating" was a little challenging to see on the black work surface, but other than that, I found the video very helpful; even inspiring! Keep up the great work.

[@ThatsMyBub]

Very cool vid, I’ll have to try this out. Totally feel you on the airbrush vicious cycle lol

[@vincentV9999]

I have been an off and on terrain builder as my space fluctuates in availability. With the prospect of my first house, comes the opportunity to implement more of your builds. This one is going straight to the top of that list, as I regularly play Warhammer 40k and these scatter terrain bits would be perfect for my Iron Warrior army.

[@killerpinkart6173]

[@vonSchwartzwolfe]

Impressive design. Well done.

[@dungeoncrafting1270]

That's crazy! I just made some super similar style barricades out of styrene. I did film most of the build too, I'll be posting it up shortly, after I get paint on them. I love the concrete base style, mine were more sci-fi trench barricade style. I'll throw some pics up on the FB group when I get some time, probably tomorrow.

[@jasonnewman3355]

Baking soda plus orange paint is a better go to for crusty rust effects. You can wash it with a brown then drybrush it with a brighter orange and get REALLY great effects.

[@stygiantoaster1054]

Just an FYI, most airbrush applications that require a sharp line uses masking to preserve the areas you don’t want the paint. While it is possible to narrow the spray, you should always mask to prevent overspray.

[@ImaginationHobbies]

Great job man!

[@quassisbelltower9408]

Jeremy those are freaking awesome.

[@ModerateHipster]

Looks great! I used the same mitered corner base design for my palisade set. Super useful! The only suggestion I would make for this project is to swap out the construction paper for strips of styrene. It's a bit less fiddly and tedious to work with, though you'll pay more for it over paper. Maybe even some narrow styrene channel stock for an easy little extra detail. I really love the look of your finished pieces!

[@obi1988]

Designed so well. Your so freakn good at this. 👍👊

[@MurderHoboRPG]

Killer. You are killing the game. Moarrrr 40k

[@chrisacker499]

While I have no real interest in doing post apoc stuff, I really enjoyed this build. Very nice.

[@Fiveshere]

NIce build and even better music

[@MurderHoboRPG]

You can make wonderful rust pastes from either chinchilla dust or mortargrout and pva. (With some cheap craft acrylics for coloring)

[@JadeJoules]

I feel like if you wanted to add spots of the original metal poking through, a splattering technique might do the trick and still look fairly organic.

[@malcolmfitzgerald6801]

Definitely using this stuff to base my void watchers (space marines.) Since their a fleet based chapter.

[@jrfkelly]

These are nice, I'm going to make some of these up for Terminator Genisys, and I might adapt it for my long-delayed 3D SpaceHulk board.

[@cheneymoss3432]

Great project!

[@thee_number_six6227]

The issue with the plastic not sticking is probably from the finish it gets in manufacturing, can't really sand it though. Love the idea of using the primer, the accelerant will start to eat in to the plastic and help it adhere, a light wash of acetone and a few minutes of dry time before the coat of primer should make it stick way better, love this, gonna use some of this for an atlanteian theme im gonna do soon

[@norseman_5334]

These are awesome!

[@00GhostSlayer00]

[@PeterLiebetrau]

Each video a surprise. This one with airbrushing again and new style of buildings. I really like that you show your mistakes and say things like: "I cannot explain exactly what I did. Its a try and error process". I think this is a thing that was already experienced by all of us tt crafters and nobody should worry about it. Thank you.

[@nowthisnamestaken]

[@Gamarishi]

Ooooh, boy, what a good time to be alive hahaha

[@adamb3455]

Drybrushing on some metallic would help with the rust effect. Use the metallic sparingly but having it there will subconsciously tell the brain it is seeing a piece of extremely rusted metal.

[@natashasurvivallady8021]

I wanted to throw out that I like the gray bubble memos; they stand out from the video, and are nice and easy to read. :)

[@beeezlebub]

Another home run!!🤘🤘🤘🍻

[@GeneJordan]

I like the use of chipboard sandwiched between the two pieces of granny grating. Would plastic card work just as well? Plastic comic book dividers are an inexpensive replacement for the chip board, especially if you work in a comic book store or can find them used. The comic book backer boards are also a good replacement for chip board, but aren't as thick. I've glued two of them together for a solid material. If you have a friendly local comic book store, most boxes that comic books are shipped in have a piece of cardboard inside the bottom of each box that is very similar to chip board. Some have pieces between the comic and on top. Most comic book stores end up recycling them or just tossing them out. It wouldn't hurt to ask for them as the worst thing they can say is "no". Recycling of materials destined for the landfill as terrain is awesome!

[@vonundzulaxi9195]

Great work, looks awesome! Maybe you are open for a little challenge? You build awesome houses for your fantasy tables, maybe you could build some ruins that come close to the GW ruins? (I think gothic ruins are they called) I tried my best with foam and stuff but i'am not really happy with it. Maybe you can give some inspiration? Love your work man, keep it up!

This week: "Hey, metal barricades" :) Just kidding. I love the way you are taking. Especially, that you now cover even more of my daily gaming needs (D&D, 40k, BoltAction).

[@majorbloodnock4281]

Nice video as usual if you wanted more metallic to be on show try using a sponge to stipple the rust over the metal I find that using a dryish mix on the sponge can give the rust texture as well this also gives the rust a very slight raised surface which can add to the rust effect but that's a matter of taste.

[@Bluecho4]

A bit late, as this is an older video, but in retrospect, using drywall mesh tape instead of granny grating would make these barricades easier to construct and paint. You'd lose a bit of depth on the grating, but the labor savings alone would make it worth using. Drywall mesh tape is just far easier to work with.

[@fadetoblack1026]

Those look rad, man. But I have to ask... What are those tasty synthwave jams?

[@LauraDelvecchio]

Hey man, i just wanted to let you know, i just got my proxxon hot wire cutter, and i remember hearing you say in a previous video about don't bother with buying the extra wire for it because it comes with so much... i think that may have just been a promotion or a limited time thing because i definitely do not have about 100ft of wire for this thing lol. maybe 2-3 feet. Can't wait to use it though, you're the reason i got it and also i bought it through your affiliate link. I appreciate all you do for the tabletop community and you're an inspiration to me man. Keep on crafting! P.S. I've already made your mod podge base coat and your brown and black washes... I did notice with the wash though that once it sets for about a day there's a layer that's settled on the bottom like it's separated and i had to vigorously shake it up to get it mixed again. is this normal or did i add too much of the matte medium? Thanks man.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Did you unspool the wire? That tiny roll is like 98’. Wash will separate between uses.

[@Shyid]

how about something using cpvc pipe + fittings as large oil lines or some toxic goo? (CPVC is cheaper than PVC and easier to cut / damage)

[@rayanderson5797]

cpvc might be cool, but I bet a bit of corrugated tubing, like from a dishwasher, would look better at that scale. I also have managed to get a good sewer outflow pipe just by cutting off the tip of a paper towel tube. I tried dipping hot glue off of that to make a flowing liquid effect, but that didn't turn out as well.
