My Simple Wargaming Table: Features of Engaging Terrain (Frostgrave)

[@tiny-grimes]

DON'T get rid of those first builds! You should keep them as reminder that you can always do better and grow in crafting. And don't be so harsh on yourself, the church looks pretty neat.

[@BardsCraft]

Yeah, the church is great, the only "problem" was that it has the gameplay-value of a huge rock. I'll at least the other peasant-level houses somewhere :D The larger stone house is also okay. My point was that the houses need more stuff around them, perhaps I can base them along with smaller obstacles and then add some detail to them.

[@dogface701]

I would LOVE to see more Frostgrave content, it's my second favorite game next to D&D

[@miguelromero4542]

Have you tried Rangers Of Shadow Deep? It's frostgrave taking a step closer to D&D, with fun cooperative and solo play options

[@dogface701]

@@miguelromero4542 I have not, but that sounds epic

[@Br0ns0n]

Always a bright spot in the day when I see that Bard's Craft has a new video up.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Can’t wait for more videos in this same style

[@eetennak966]

This guy is insane. Nice budget videos, seems like a decent human, good video quality. I prefer you over any of the more known terrain youtubers. Keep it going! thanks for your uploads

[@manjr]

Frostgrave is an ideal game for a terrain builder - glad to see you getting into it. Keep the Frostgrave stuff coming, please!

[@jesperpetersen6105]

Yes, please make some Frostgrave terrain, I would love to see your take on it

[@BardsCraft]

The real title should be "my peasant-level table"

[@j453]

Your small Ikea tables are really customizable and a great idea man! You don't have to "allways" play on a square with those. And since you allready have bridges you can space them out in all sorts of creative ways and connect them with the bridges.

[@spawniscariot9756]

I'm really enjoying your crafting. I'd find it very useful if you did some videos on the buildings you don't feel are good enough. Things like what features/techniques/etc you do and don't like about them, what you would have done differently and so forth Keep up your great work!

Really love your work ... even the "junk" pieces!!

[@Bombasticuso]

I can't wait to see the upcoming vids.I recently found your channel and binge watched most of your vids because they are both funny and educational and they tought me that you can make terrain on the go without too much planning so long as you just do it.Thanks for your efforts and keep up cranking :D

[@nerdfatha]

I've just really discovered Frostgrave since the lock down. You make a lot o good points about verticality in terrain. It adds so much to the tactical level of things and the table appeal.

[@jbmarquez3184]

Your work is my greatest inspiration in terrain building and painting! I will support you wholeheartedly!

[@frankblaker8294]

You make good stuff but cheap, that is so much better for me than buying expensive stuff, it means I can do this. Thankyou!

[@oplenti]

I love Frostgrave, and usually I don't use more than peasant level props, but I really enjoy it! sometimes I replace with lego buildings :D I really enjoy your videos, please keep up the good work!

[@3DPlasticFantasy]

More frosty terrain would be awesome to see next :)

[@10urion]

Great to see that you picked up FG! Looking forward to your Summergrave interpretation!

[@Beschaulichkeit]

I was sold on Frostgrave as soon as I heard about it but I'm definitely building a more verdant set of terrain. Summergrave all the way! I like that it's easy to swap out the lore with whatever you like so I've been building my own narrative setting based on the formula: (catastrophe + treasure holds + monsters) / warbands = skirmishes galore.

[@jagelsdorf1385]

Oh man, great point on the verticality. I plan literally all of my terain with vertical play in mind. It's so much fun to run around on the rooftops of Mordheim or Frostgrave ;D

[@BardsCraft]

Indeed, getting archers into sniping position feels great!

[@jagelsdorf1385]

@@BardsCraft exactly! Unless they miss shot after shot.

[@danb968]

I tried starting 40k, AOS, and probably 6 other skermish games, until I finally found frost grave. My wife and I play probably play 2-3 times a week when we have the time. I enjoy your videos and they have helped me tremendously in bettering my terrain builds for both dnd and frost grave. Thank you so much!

[@BardsCraft]

You're welcome, I too like frostgrave very much!

[@SgtOddballz]

Frostgrave is excellent game! Glad you are enjoying it! Vertical dropping into combat can be handy. :).

[@theolguins2843]

Love this vid! I wish it was longer though, you could talk all day about anything and I would watch it!

[@eBiCrafter]

excellent work bro👍, you are my inspiration 💡

[@CL30]

Good to see the reuse of older materials that are still perfectly good!

[@aidandalton6526]

wow amazing! It's really clever to use ikea tables like that.

[@BardsCraft]

Thanks! It was the most viable option for me

[@ThaBenMan]

It's a nice setup! Glad you're enjoying Frostgrave, it's a great game

[@Gamarishi]

Very nice! I want to start reading frostgrave very soon, and it will be my first wargame, so this video came in a very good time

[@masterdigdr9778]

I like your gming terrain. And I really love Frostgrave!

[@stephenwallace3771]

I love frostgrave. I've been working on a frostgrave Archipeligo terrain board for months

[@Chattycrafter2580]

Brad I liked the building’s don’t get rid of them, the diorama with the snow looks amazing it one of my favourites. All your builds are amazing keep up the good work.

[@BardsCraft]

I won't get rid of most of those, the diorama is very good. I'll just hide the peasant-level houses somewhere :D

[@manticora94]

Nice! You should try Rangers of shadow deep too, same combat system and mechanics but more freedom of interpretation (and can be solo-played).

[@13thBear]

Your terrain looks pretty good to me, but I can understand why you would want to re-build some of them so the roofs and rooms can be opened to place figures and objects inside. Still, your village as you present it in this video looks marvelous! Great visuals!

[@BardsCraft]

Thanks! Yeah they do look good when placed all on the table, but they are not as playable as the things I want to build. New terrain will look good and be extra playable!

[@alexbarton1281]

I made foam core versions of all the card Mordheim terrain. I was very happy with that. Your stuff always looks great though. I share a lot of these to my local club FB page.

[@BardsCraft]

Thanks for sharing the vids! I'll make basic foam ruins for my table next

[@creaturescavernscrafting2929]

Great video! Sure to be an awesome setup for Frost Grave.

[@tomusannonymous]

LOS blocking terrain is pretty important in frosrave ive found, those elevated cover positions are powerful and it can be op if it has a view of everywhere. One game early on I had one ruined tower and mostly low terrain around, once my archer got up there she was shooting, dealing damage and critting turn after turn.

[@piolin4600]

[@Shmygelbryl]

Awesome stuff 👍🏻 Me and my wife just got Star Wars legion , would love to se you build some stuff for that , if you get the time 😁👌🏻

[@zellak-pr7pu]

Great vid. ....Frostgrave one of the best games out there, i have a Summoner level 102 . And played most of the supplements. The buildings are fine, and remember you dont need ladders to climb anything rules as written.

[@BardsCraft]

102 levels that must be many games. Ok never thought about skipping ladders, but I do like them! I use ladders for climbing speed, and then as a homebrew rule, it costs 4x movement to climb very step surfaces. Ladders and bridges under 45 degree angle are just normal speed. So far the rules have worked out well.

[@zellak-pr7pu]

@@BardsCraft Nice homebrew rules.....we bring on wandering monsters using a scatter dice and roll 2D6 for distance from the treasure.

[@eetennak966]

Pls dont burn down your old stuff. Its hilarious to put the down in the basement and discover them 20 years later. Did that and was not disappointed lol

[@zmelk8014]

Where do you get your XPS from? I‘ve been meaning to get started in crafting, but i have no idea where to buy XPS

[@10urion]

Go to your local hardware store. They should usually have XPS. blackmagiccraft.wordpress.com/foam-buying-guide/ This guide will help you find depending on your country.

[@tiny-grimes]

you can get them at hardware stores. before buying ask the sellers if this xps is easy to cut, cuz some are really hard (they are meant for the flooring isolation)

[@animedrawings07]

hello! I noticed you made stuff with a pringles can last time, I have A LOT of pringles cans, any idea of what I can do with them, I thought about making a huge castle, but I'm afraid I might bail out lol.

[@martindunn4545]

as Lucas said, I find that ruined towers are great because they are easy to craft, and add a lot of much needed hight to the games. They are verry simple to craft , and can be used for many different things, for example combining them with walls makes for a good ruined castle.

[@regokakas4470]

I've found that cut in half-is (length ways) they make quite good longship hulls. You end up only needing to bother about the ends.

[@darkaiel]

Cut them in half and make huts!

[@spawniscariot9756]

Perhaps start with a tower, then add a manor to it, then attach a curtain wall, then some outbuildings, some more towers, etc and before you know it you got your castle from a bunch of modular structures

[@conanthebarbarian4996]

Some ideas for your frostgrave games and/or builds... you can create some alters, magic items, i am currently working on a half ruined library for my frostgrave table, also a few building ideas, a stable, wood/ stone workshop, tavern/ ale works.... these could all be repurposed from the old buildings.

[@CrankyPantss]

Thanks for the tour. I don’t see what’s wrong with those houses that you didn’t like. They did the job that you needed them to do on that board and I think they looked just fine. I don’t know if I just have whatever is lower than peasant-level taste, or you’re extra-critical of your own work. To me, your builds always look like they would be fun to have on any table. It is your board and you’re the one that you have to please, of course. I just wanted you to know that us under-peasants like your stuff a lot and that whole setup looked great.

[@Beaut_Beau]

Somebody send this man some new miniatures!

[@BardsCraft]

Not yet, I guess I'll do that when I need more stuff

[@EDSKaR]

When your objective markers are your most expensive terrain.

[@BardsCraft]

Haha, that's quite true

[@peterdickinson4599]

Frostgrave is a cool game. But I’m surprised you haven’t gotten into Ragnarok: Heavy metal combat in the Viking Age. There are lots of FG terrain videos out there. I’m sure you could put your own spin on it, but there isn’t much Ragnarok inspired content being produced; peasant-level or otherwise. Might be worth checking out.

[@BardsCraft]

Heavy metal viking combat sounds pretty badass, I'll check that out if I need more playing material.
