Space Marine Fortress built from TV Packing for Warhammer 40K

Build a HUGE Space Marine Fortress from TV packing with this DIY Wrahammer Terrain tutorial, where we create epic Warhamer 40k terrain from scratch.
Building this 4 foot Space Marine Fortress Monastery was at times a complete pain in the ass but well worth it is the end. I can use it in a games of Warhammer 40k & other games or as a display piece for my Space Marines.
This Space Marine Fortress was built out of foam, both polystyrene & XPS. The polystyrene was something we would generally throw away, packaging from a television. A truly massive DIY Warhammer 40k Terrain piece!

Sometimes the foam gods choose you, there is nothing you can do. Lovely project man!

[@WulvenKraft]

Thank you Eric, for the comment & for taking the time to watch the video, I am honoured.

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

The fortress looks awesome, and that is one nasty burn from the hot glue.... Thanks for sharing!

[@WulvenKraft]

Thank you & aye, it hurt 🤣

[@Mioum]

I felt that "I stared at it for a month" quote. That's how most of my projects go! Great inspiration at first but then when the core shape is done, pondering if it's what I really want and if I move on with it or change it completely!

[@WulvenKraft]

Aye, I've learnt recently that I need to be working on a few projects at a time, they each have a tendency to influence each other.

Great job man!! Epic build, love the texture, proper stone built fortress vibes. Quality video too ;)

[@WulvenKraft]

From you Sir, I'm flattered! Thank you.

My god, you are hardcore. That floor tiling is awesome. A thing that caught my eye was the interlocking teeth on your armored doors. This "little" thing just show the dedication. Love it to "BITS" 😉🙃. Regards from Denmark. Alex.

[@robluxipiech4033]

im a machinist, tool and die toolmaker. my hands look like freddy kreugers face, and your video gave my massive anxiety lol. please dear God, cut away not toward yourself. i cut my left ring finger to the bone, speared myself in the gut, u name it. Please dont need the scars i have and listen to an old man whose fascinated with your creations and dont want ya to lose a finger !

[@WulvenKraft]

Well old man (sorry couldn't help myself 🤣) I've been around machinery, power tools, hand tools for over 20 years, & done my share of tool making for injection moulding, the worst scar I have was given to me by an idiot with no spacial awareness. They burnt me with a frying basket when I worked in McDonalds as a teenager. You can rest assured I am very careful when using knives & was taught that you have more control when cutting toward yourself. But you are correct, I'd never advise someone to do that without experience, it can be dangerous. I'm pleased you're enjoying the content & I didn't mean to make it awkward for you!

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

makes me want to build one myself great video

Go for it, the result so far has been really satisfying. Still loads of work to do with painting, armaments & insignia on the list 🤣.

[@metajock]

Good build!!! I love it when someone makes something that's as good on the display shelf as it is on the table. Well done!!!

[@WulvenKraft]

Thank you James. I have a feeling there is a lot more to come from this build too, I have lots of ideas.

@@DemonVizarack Editing is exactly the same as drawing, it's all done in layers. Everything else is just personal preference. Too stream you need an OBS software, very easy to set up once you have found your stream key on KZbin.

This is awesome! Love how it came out! My only real Critcism is, how is that you don't have a Polystyrene Cutter? They're not that expensive, and they make it SO MUCH easier!

[@WulvenKraft]

I have never needed one, my Proxxon does all of my heavy lifting. This was the first time I was working with foam that didn't fit it.

[@flashingbadgerpainting]

Awesome! Loving getting to watch this come to life

[@WulvenKraft]

Me too, but I feel the work on this piece is far from over!

Ace - does need a giant Aquila or wolfhead on it ...because 40k

[@WulvenKraft]

Oh, it's not finished yet! 🤣

[@GeneJordan]

Why couldn't you have used your Proxxon to make the initial cuts to the larger pieces of polystyrene? If they didn't fit in the Proxxon wouldn't a handheld hot wire cutter have handled it? If you build with polystyrene often, one would come in quite handy. I did like how you discovered the issues with executing your plan and the way you walked the viewer through solving them to reach your idea.

[@WulvenKraft]

You're correct, it didn't fit. I had to remove a small piece on the back of the goam & bend the Proxxon slightly to cut the arch 🤣. Length wise, the three main pieces were too long. It's the first time I've used polystyrene for such a build & only because it was as soon as I saw it I had ideas & yes a handheld would have been perfect but I don't have one. Thank you, that's quite the compliment.

[@GeneJordan]

@@WulvenKraft I've worked with some large polystyrene pieces myself for use as a playing board for 40K. Two long wedge-shaped "ramps" with MDF on top that had been used as packing material for electronics. It turns out, they are probably too long for anything but 40K Apocalypse when both are used together, unless it's a 2 on 2 game of 2000 points per player. I have saved 2 more polystyrene packaging materials with MDF glued to it for more terrain or as display board. Each is the size or larger than a Dark Angels Fortress of Redemption. I'm taking a longer look at those after watching your video.

[@WulvenKraft]

@@GeneJordan Ha, I like any material that does a lot of the work 🤣. Glad you're feeling inspired!

Pls turn the exposure on ur camera down other than that great video

[@WulvenKraft]

Aye, it was an issue in this video, although it wasn't just the camera. There was a lot of reflected light when using the white polystyrene but the lesson has been learned.

[@securityrobot]

It’s expanded polystyrene not polystyrene.

[@WulvenKraft]

I don't like bogging others down in details that don't really matter. Packing polystyrene, expanded or not, is still polystyrene to most.

[@securityrobot]

It isn’t called expanded for nothing. Without the clear and proper distinction you wouldn’t know what glues and paints are compatible for instance. Try adding buoyancy to a model boat with polystyrene, instead of using the expanded variety. Of course the details are important, where would your videos be without details? Why do you think we have data sheets for all manner of materials etc. If it’s Polystyrene to most then it’s because of people like you spreading misinformation.if you’re worried about ‘bogging people down’ then you’re assuming that your audience is incapable of explanation, or thick.

[@WulvenKraft]
