MY BIGGEST OLD WORLD PROJECT YET!

[@GMTeeVee]

Looks amazing and such a cohesive piece once it was finished 10/10

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers mate! I appreciate it

[@huwtindall7096]

Love it. Good change up from regular minis. Re the brightness of the tiles/shingles I thing there is a historical misunderstanding that everything in the old days looked old. Of course it didn't. It was brand new and people back them liked bright colours as much as us. Remember all those greek and roman statues were painted bright colours. Sure peaseants couldn't afford rich purple or blue colours but they'd have splashed out where they could. The 90s "red" era GW schemes weren't too far off! Not everything is grim dark.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers my man! I appreciate! Couldn’t agree more 🙌

[@DXPetti]

Sponge technique looks bloody great Deets. Works perfectly for that style of building

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers mate, I’m glad you think so! 🙌

[@AzraelThanatos]

One thing that I've done for stone work is a prime in a medium grey, then pick 3-5 different paints that are relatively bright and just randomly stipple them over the stonework areas with overlaps until you have about 90-95% coverage, then you wash dark (I used a brown/black acryllic ink wash with 2 parts burnt umber, 1 part black, 4 parts water) over the entire thing, then went with drybrushes...a cool off white and a warm off white, then having a more detail focused white drybrush for some detail work that I want to stand out. Most recent ones with it were Warlords Stone Bridge (a great, cheap plastic terrain piece that fits pretty much any battlefield) and Tabletop Workshops Chapel...

[@BiggusFroggus]

The texture on the walls is superb

[@IAmTurbogfx]

I love this channel. The pace is of the video is relentless, the music always gets me pumped, and the narration is instructive and motivational. Best wishes to you and your loved ones for the new year Dieter! Cheers from Belgium

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! I’m really happy to hear that 🙌 have a great new year my friend

[@Glatius]

Absolutely stunning, favourite parts are those stone walls

[@RolandoRatas]

The Fortified Manor is a great kit and you did it justice. Here in England if you are watching carefully Nov/Dec 2024 the Fortified Manor availability comes into stock only on the GW website for say 3 days and then it's out of stock after this period, the 3rd party retailers who offer a discount haven't had it in stock in about 5-6 months I believe here in the UK; so there are supply side issues. The Fortified Manor is The Old World Sigmarite Chapel and the Empire Watchtower with some unique extras to this kit, namely the middle section small building which connects the two forementioned buildings and also the front walls and their gate.

[@trollbite.miniatures]

Deets! You did great!! ❤❤❤

[@ay2deet578]

Looks stunning, what a treat

[@Disc147]

Looks good mate, you can knock together a static grass applicator for a few bucks. Luke Towan has a pretty well engineered how to if I remember correctly.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers mate! I’ll check it out! 🙌

[@hilld1985]

This looks absolutely incredible

[@DamienWise]

Beautiful work! I love how you gave it all a unified look. There's so much potential that I reckon it's going to be fun to game with -- just looking at what you've made makes me imagine a undead spawn-point, goblin snipers, ratties busting out of hidden tunnels, and so much more!

[@jellybryce7742]

Great looking project and wonderful video! Thanks homie!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Appreciate it! Thanks mate!

[@nikp246]

AYY got my AoD stickers and a new vid in the same day. Cheers from Alaska!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Hell yeah dude 😎 I hope you’re keeping warm up there 🤝🍻

[@theDukeofCastile]

Looks phenomenal. Great work!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@Qoonutz]

Woah! Well done!

[@Zogrut]

“Rub it off with a wet finger and carry on” is my new favourite Deets quote. 😂😅 Mate this turned out absolutely killer!! Can’t wait to see how you incorporate it into an Armies on Parade… with that said, thoughts and prayers if you go for AoP next year 🤣. Awesome work on the content this year Deets! Keep it up mate 👍🏼

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Haha old mate wet fingers over here 😆 thanks so much man! I’m glad you approve 🙌 I probably won’t have the army finished for another 5 years so maybe AoP 2030 😂

[@diyfireking]

Wonderful work 👍👍

[@mcyolicjones9081]

Love the bright roof and stone in particular. Reminiscent of the buildings on the back of the Mike McVey 'Eavy Metal Painting guide in the 90's even though they were just card. I also like to think there was a period in the Empire where it was a bit more of that shinning city on the hill. End-time events have have no doubt dulled things a bit in later years. Anyway, next level and you're a legend for even undertaking a project of this scale.

[@davidsnell1457]

Looks amazing! When you wash the roof tiles you could try holding the model upside down so the wash runs into the cracks easier.

[@The_Captain40k]

It looks incredible, can't wait to follow your paint scheme for my own manor!

[@FloppyChopp]

Looks so good dude. Great way to top off the year 🎉

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@Haldrahir]

Looks great, well done.

[@mikenadeau8704]

All my projects are 90% oldhammer. I enjoy your videos and definitely have given me great ideas and motivation. Thanks for doing these! Now I have to get the Manor...

[@JohnnyDiffey]

Great effort mate, looks awesome. This video has convinced me to get one of the Manor kits 👍

[@BigTiBu]

Dude this is absolutely amazing! Fantastic work and a hell of a finisher for the year

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Glad you like it! Thanks for all the support this year mate! I really appreciate it.

[@zaynevanday142]

Wow you Manor looks awesome m8 🔥

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers mate, I appreciate it! 🙌

[@ironbomb6753]

I love how the build comes together at the end. Beautiful Deets, nice. Happy New Year 👍🎉

[@lonestarminis]

Awesome work as always Deitz!!

[@AnonymousMontanan]

Might I recommend Acrylic Tile Grout. You can find it at just about any Home Improvement type place, comes in a large bucket type container and is already pre-mixed. And very inexpensive!! About the only thing you might need to do is add a bit of water to thin it down if you desire.

[@davidbrightman4384]

This looks great.

[@capnskustomworks]

That looks excellent!!! It’s really cool to see ye do a whole board, it fits the feel of your minis very nicely! Awesome work!!!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers mate! I appreciate it! 🙌

[@NigeyWigey]

Hey Deets, do you ever take a day off from being so bloody awesome?

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Haha it’s a full time gig 😆

[@JamesWarren-y7k]

Wow Deets, words cannot begin to express how impressive that is, truly inspirational Sir,

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@rayshouse4933]

Love this. Congratulations sir!

[@Eric-jt8yx]

Love it. I’m smiling from the opening music to the very end. Great work explaining your process and showing how it’s done. Thank you!

[@melekhthechanger88]

Love it and thanks for all your videos this year! This is one of my fav for sure.

[@tonypridham1253]

Looks fantastic! Looking forward to new videos in the New Year to see what you bring. All the best for the festive season and the New Year.

[@AM-uw3gp]

Awesome as usual, I’ll be rewatching this one when I tackle the manor but i think I’ll magnetise some of the pieces to make it more modular

[@LiliaArmoury]

if you want to ram home a glowing sub surface warpstone look i suggest putting bright lights under that green foam or if you want to do glowing necron tomb terrain

[@blackdenim23]

This turned out awesome Deetz!

Great work Deetz. Nice way to top things off. Have a very happy and fruitful new year good sir.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate, you too! 🤝🍻

[@captainofthering1326]

This project must have taken a lot of time and passion but it all shines through! The final result is a great diorama. I am so happy I found your channel Deets, every video spins some new ideas for future projects. Thank you and I hope you are spending a great time during the Christmas holidays

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate and thanks for all the support, I really appreciate it. Have a great holiday period as well 🙌🍻

[@dariostabletopminatures]

5:00 Looks TRULY Amazing the WALL! The Sponging Technique is also cool! I have to test that for my Bolt Action Cromwell as well as for my Heresy Sons of Horus! Oldworld and Mordheim is the BEST!

[@Svengar]

That turned out really awesome. Love the effects from the sponge and using the wall filler, sand and pva glue combo turned out really well. I have yet to tackle my fortified manor kit as I have been busy painting up minis first but when I do I’ll be coming back to rewatch and cherry pick from your techniques and colours used

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers man! I appreciate it!

[@nickdavis5420]

Takes me back to putting together mdf building dioramas for some friends I did interior and exterior it was a endeavor.

Another job well done my dude.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers mate! 👍

[@legionnaireminis]

Epic work as always Deets

[@Sergio-ie4hi]

Amazing video! It looks stunning! The only thing I would recommend is using a mask when working with xps foam, specially when cutting it and sanding it.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! You are 100% correct on that one

[@sometimesghost]

Looks fantastic, great work! You're making me want to start a big terrain project :D

[@suntitan4429]

Hands down one of my favorite painters on KZbin would you be interested in doing more classic 40K on the channel I would definitely watch and like

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! I appreciate it. I definitely want to paint a few more classic 40k minis in the new year 🙌

[@skinniestfatman5641]

mate that looks awesome, i need to get some terrain for my board and after seeing the sponge technique im gonna try it out myself, thanks Deets

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! Get into it 🙌

[@rupertjones5197]

Looks the buisness mate!! Would love to see more terrain and tbf now you’ve started that. It will be easier to just add onto it with more foam etc could continue making the fields, little houses, woods etc! Keep up the fantastic work

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Great idea! Thanks dude!

Diorama idea: an averland convoy of soldiers and a tax collector cart full of gold being attacked and pillaged by chaos marauders

[@peterixon8708]

You've given me some great ideas for the Osgilliath set I bought. I want to be able to use it in multiple settings, like conquistadors int he America's and medieval Europe, not just Middle Earth.

[@ltGargoyle]

i like your board. it is a great display piece. i would have suggested using a mdf board and turned the foam into a small hill the manor was on so it could be use as part of your table. the other idea i would us is make pieces to butt up to your display board so you can use it while playing

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! Great ideas 👍 I might build another one and butt it up against it. Maybe a village connecting on the front path and then keep expanding it

[@leonatus221]

Beauty mate

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks brother! Will do 🙌

[@mickbrilliantfootballeroft327]

So wanted years back. Chuffed I now got it.

[@JohnPC00]

This was great, and I could easily watch more. I think the part about the grass isn't so bad, as when I do bases I imagine that the grass is being trodden upon, it's wet with rain, something like that.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! I can get behind that idea 🙌

[@JohnPC00]

[@canuckchuck8836]

Epic!!!

[@Kobylad]

A little tip you can do (or at least in the UK) is go to a normal home depot store and get them to colour match paints. You can give them a GW pot and they'll colour match like a 2L tub of earth colour for your board :) I missed this drop on Patreon but hope you had a good xmas :) Hope you didnt tell the wife where the kitchen sponge went....

[@AM-uw3gp]

Oh that’s a great idea, I think I’ll get some steel legion drab spray cans made up for all my movement trays, those things are a damn pain to do out of a GW pot

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Great idea my man! I’ll definitely remember that for next time 👍 Yeah I didn’t get this video done early unfortunately (literally finished editing at 5pm and had to throw it up at 6pm 😮‍💨 it was down to the wire). I hope you had a great Christmas as well mate! Fingers crossed you got some good hobby related gifts under the tree this year 🤝😎 Haha she hasn’t caught on yet…

[@SamSlavin4000]

That’s awesome, I’m about to complete a very similar diorama, but I don’t know where to place the “soil” first and the house next, or vice versa? If I place the texture first, I won’t be able to align the walls and chapel along with the tower together.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! Put the soil down first and press some toothpicks into the foam to mark each corner of the building. If you want the buildings to actually look like they sit in the dirt glue some sand and rocks around the bottoms of the buildings. I hope that helps!

[@SamSlavin4000]

@ cheers!

[@JeffG-n8p]

Really cool. Nice work. I’m gonna buy one now ! Question. Can you build the buildings so they can be separate things from each other and then be together? Or is it one or the other ? Thanks again for cool content!!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! Mine isn’t glued together so I can pull it apart and pack it down :) you can keep all the pieces seperate
