Modular Terrain Tiles for D&D and Wargaming - Tutorial

a step by step guide to how I make my modular terrain tiles. If you enjoy the video I hope you'll consider a thumbs up and hitting that subscribe button!
Note: Sorry about the stuttering at the end of the video. I'm new to this whole editing thing and guessing it has something to do with my basic pc lacking much power during the rendering.

Sorry about the stuttering at the end of the video folks. I’m still learning the basics of video editing and will work towards avoiding that issue in the future. ❤

“I almost died!😮”. Was so not expecting that. Good show my friend.

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

Hehe!

[@hyosworld109]

I believe the GGS sculpty stuff is made to dry really fast because Luke hated waiting for it to dry lol. Amazing first video!!

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

Yes, big learning mistake on my part assuming it dried at same speed as sculptamold, but that’s part of the process for getting better and at least I’ll know for the future 😂

[@DezRPGDAD]

First video is a success! This is the best step by step tutorial I've seen. At first I was like, bruh that's too many layers. But by the end? Complete payoff. Beautiful terrain.

[@levimiller909]

Holy cow. This is my new favorite tutorial. I’m a total newbie and this helps so much.

[@Lighto17]

Excited to tag along in the amazing journey you're about to embark on! Best of luck!

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

Super happy to have you tagging along.

[@spiderdemon666]

Brilliant result. Love that you kept in the problems you came across and how you overcame them. So few do that. You've got a new subscriber.

[@aprat11]

what a great first video. Very informative. Thanks

[@benscerri6472]

Great tutorial. Genuinely _shocking_ that this is your first video! I watch a _lot_ of hobbyists on YT, and this might be the most professional first vid I've ever seen. Well done! As for the GGS plaster, I've also never seen this happen before. I know it's used often by several other channels who also do leopard spotting, and it absorbs just fine. Perhaps this is a bad batch? Sorry you had that experience, especially as it frustrated what you said is usually your favourite part! Keep up the good work, and keen to watch along :)

[@colettelatham9400]

Looks GREAT!! Love it. Working in stages is great advice too.

[@BenleGentil]

Those are the best I’ve ever seen, the amount of work to build those layers … Really looks fantastic at the end

[@frasercossar407]

Fun techniques and thanks for sorting out those mistakes with the rocks and plaster and making it a teaching moment!

[@relliscormany7234]

Your process is great. Just getting the basics for my first project myself. Not gonna lie. I absolutely love your work but, being a noobie it is a little intimidating. I think I am going to start simple then work myself up to your level of realism. Great video and keep it up. I appreciate you leaving in your troubles and explaining how you overcame the problems you came across not too many creators show that process and to be honest it makes doing this seem like a reachable experience for myself and others. I wish the best of luck to your channels growth and can’t wait to see what you share with us next. I will be sharing this with other people that are into the hobby. This video just made my day.

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

I understand how it can be intimidating. But the feeling of accomplishment when you actually give it a try and make something is definitely worth it. Just remember, you don’t need to impress anyone. It’s all for fun and as long as you enjoy it that’s all that matters. I hope you take the leap and give it a try. If you do, let me know how it goes!

[@relliscormany7234]

@@HobbyshireOfficial just need to gather the basics first and take care of some of the important things around the house then I’ll be taking the dive. Need to pick up some paints and I’ll start simple and see what I can come up with. Thinking of doing simple grid work and see how it turns out for actual table top play tiles. My group is kinda on a break so it gives me time to come up with something. I been wanting to get into this for a long time now. I subscribed and followed already.

[@jameshicks3046]

Enjoyed the vid, will watch more, good luck!

[@marksmith5083]

Great vid, many thanks. Good to see another terrain maker especially as a lot of the good ones don't produce them any more. Looking forward to the next vid. As someone else commented Good to see any issues or mistakes. 👍

[@lakeneldredodonnell6125]

Great work!! Proud to be your 23rd subscriber!! I hope you continue because this was amazing :)

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

Glad to have you here. Thanks for the subscribe and hope you like the future videos that I have planned!

[@martyp00s]

Awesome! Looking forward to your future terrain making content!

[@elreydelosmandriles7539]

It´s great to see a dwarven channel. There are too many knife ears pinky elven channels. You need more rocks carved by dwarfs and fewer flowers in those meadows.

[@BumblebeeFern]

Woooo! Congrats on your first video!! Beautiful terrain and you had amazing interaction in the comments!! Keep it coming 🙌🏼 can’t wait to see more tutorials in the future! Also, for the static grass try touching the alligator clip to the adhesive you are using. From my understanding, the electricity uses the liquid medium to flow to all of the areas you are flocking. Hopefully that helps!

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

That’s probably what I was doing wrong then as I was just touching it to the base. Thank you I’ll try that next time! 😊

[@BumblebeeFern]

@@HobbyshireOfficialno problem!! Good luck in the future!! They turned out amazing regardless! I’ve been working with layering as well but you took it to the next level🌸

[@rubengray3541]

Great video mate really loved it and your humour is spot-on The only feed feedback I can think of is that the flashcard shot transitions can be a little hard on the eyes and give some people motion sickness. Other than that fantastic and can't wait for the next one

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

I’ll definitely try out some more calmer transitions in future videos, thanks for the advice 😊

[@rubengray3541]

@HobbyshireOfficial looking forward to the next video drop 😀 Your videos have really helped keep the rest of us crafters inspired as well as educating and helping us improve our own work Keep up the great work 👏👏👏

[@redpill4145]

nice video. Subbed and I'll definitely use this for some inspiration!

[@mathuxley7264]

I enjoyed that mate, ta

[@duke2165]

Best of Luck to you Love it! Keep up the great quality!

[@narrnie]

very good first video, excited for the future of the channel

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

Thank you!

[@guusvanswaay3784]

great work man👍

[@lilcwa]

Fantastic video on a really cool project.

[@soldier2138]

Wow. This was awesome. Thank you for the down to earth approach. The finished project is amazing I cant wait for your next tutorial. Cheers.

[@norcalonline1]

Top notch, mate. Very polished video; didn't seem like your first. Keep on truckin'.

[@tinaprice4948]

They look amazing :D great job! I kept thinking you were covering up bottom layers, but they all show through and look so nice!

[@MiniWarzone]

Nice video thanks

[@jacobhope6164]

I am so glad I saw this video before making my own wilderness tiles! I'm going to steal a bit from you. Brilliant!

[@GreifRitter]

Great job! Excellent tutorial! Now keep up the good work!

[@Girasol2501]

Great first video. Trust the process! Sometimes things will get worse before getting better

[@alanotter]

Great video. Amazing results. Got here from Eveist Metal. Happy subcriber. ❤

[@kaneworsnop1007]

I haven't used the modelling compound, but Luke from Geek Gaming used leopard spotting all the time in his videos, so it should work fine. Your paint looked pretty thick, so maybe it just needed to be thinner than when you use sculptamould 🤷‍♂️ Great video though, I came to your channel on a recommendation.

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

Very possible reason for sure! Thanks for coming to the channel

[@worldpeace316]

Wow awesome good video thank you Mr. Hobbyshire

[@simeonvanderhoof4229]

15:44. the chocolate tile grout easily can get confused with Coco powder

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

Wouldn’t like to be the one to accidentally drink that cup of hot chocolate! 😂

[@willswasteland]

Very nice tiles. I really enjoyed the tutorial and plan to implement several of your techniques. You mentioned that you make your own stone blend. Would you do a video on that? I use natural stuff as often as possible and always enjoy learning what others use and how.

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

I’ll definitely add something like that to the todo list. In the mean time I will say, my rubble is pretty much just little bits of pebbles and gravel filtered out of sharp sand that I bought from b&q. Natural aquarium gravel is an idea too. Sometime I mix chinchilla sand into the blend or some birdcage sand that has little bits of shell in there too

[@i.k.2485]

Snippy snip snips... Right, I'm stealing that for my new DnD character name lol

[@mrlegobrick]

Awesome video, love it. Also wondering what your crown tattoo is, was trying to work out the dates 😂😂 What size chipboard did you get from the Works? I was looking at RPArchives parts list and his chipboard is 3.8mm thick (12x12) but amazon link comes from USA and is weeks to get delivered 😂 Not been able to find anything similar

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

I believe it’s A4 chipboard 2mm thick. I tried getting more from the works but couldn’t find any. If you search that in amazon though you should have no problem. The crown is my dad’s army badge. The dates are his year of birth and year of death.

[@brianwhitney8710]

These look amazing! Do you know the brand for the grout?

[@HobbyshireOfficial]

It’s Mapei brand. I think I got it from b&q. Though I never stick to a brand for grout, I just go for cheapest as all have pretty much same result 😊

[@GREATSATANIC]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooh!!

[@ViejoDigital]

NIce video, but a little short work better. 👍👍👍 maybe no more than 30 min.
