Terrain from a ROAST CHICKEN?! | Using REAL BONES to make Warhammer Terrain!

In this video I show you how I made wargaming terrain out of the bones from a roast chicken! Use bones to add some interesting features to your Warhammer and wargaming scenery, terrain, displays and dioramas. These would fit perfectly on wargaming tables, wargaming boards and other pieces of wargaming scenery.

Well, I'm never going to look at a cooked chicken in quite the same way again! Great video dude, you might just have inspired me to get my own Mando painted now!

[@BenjisHobbies]

Haha! I find that I’m starting to look at things and think ‘how could I make terrain out of that’, even food 😅 Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours!

[@samanthalacroix2687]

I used a Christmas turkey that way years ago and it turned out VERY well. As I planned on picking up a turkey next time I go to the market anyway I am going to do it again just to see what twenty five years of experience has taught me.

[@BenjisHobbies]

That’s awesome! I would love to see what you come up with 😍

[@elstonation]

'If you would like to help me buy more rotisserie chickens' priceless :-D

[@BenjisHobbies]

Hahaha! It felt like a good Segway in to mentioning Patreon 😅

[@whssy]

Or help him to buy a rotisserie oven. We have one. He needs one.

[@EssexBoyz]

Nice idea mate, love the Mando diorama, looks fantastic 😃👍🏼

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks dude! I’m really pleased with how it turned out 😊

[@KnarbMakes]

Brilliant! This piece artwork menaces with bones carved from bones! All Craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks so much!

[@ironbomb6753]

I once used a pig skull left over from a company picnic pig roast. There was a bullet hole in the middle of the fore head, it was a great piece of terrain. I donated it to my local game store after years of use. I'd do it again. Great vid Benji. 👍

[@BenjisHobbies]

That sounds like a CRAZY piece of fantasy terrain!

[@ironbomb6753]

@@BenjisHobbies it was, I made tusks from mili- putt, they were about 3inchs tall, it was fun to have on the table, tho honestly your chicken bone pieces look way better than mine did.

[@Ernzt8]

Really like the paintjob on the Mandalorian. This is a great diorama

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks so much for your kind words 😊

[@forgefartherloki6585]

Them: How the bones on your base look really realistic! You 3D printed them right? You: *silence* Them more concerned: you 3D printed them right…?

I’m 100% not a serial killer. I promise… 👀

Nice work pa. looks ace

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks man!

[@fonshon5507]

The dead mumakil and soldiers work so well! great work :D

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks buddy! 😊

[@falsehero2001]

There was a store that I want to want to set sold exotic animal skeletons. One of their means of completely stripping flesh from the bones was to leave the bones on an ant hill for a few days.

[@BenjisHobbies]

For taxidermy purposes that would work really well! I know a lot of taxidermists use dermestid beetles for this 😊

[@MSPaints]

Didn't realise i was starving. Nicely done, dude.

[@BenjisHobbies]

I really fancied a chicken sandwich at 2am when I was finishing the edit 😅

[@UpNorthSoutherner]

I love how the video is about the chicken bones, but actually has so much else in it that's great. Be good to see the leopard spot technique explained in a video when it comes up again. I gotta say how awesome and alien the sternum from the chicken looks as well!

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks buddy! It was a really fun video to make despite it taking me a lot longer to do than I had originally thought it would. I’m really pleased with the results. I’ll be sure to go in to more detail on the leopard spot technique comes up again, which will probably be sooner rather than later 😉 The diversity in the chicken bones really gave plenty of options to play with and I definitely have some more ideas if I decide to do this again!

[@scottyhabarthdonnel2708]

i did give it same thoughts for quiet a while now so now i am convinced thanks bro

[@BenjisHobbies]

No problem at all! Would love to see how you get on with yours 😊

[@harazhangf5782]

Somehow missed this video last year. Great idea and love the end result.

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks dude! So easy to do and it gives decent results!

Thank you! I’m really pleased with how they turned out 😊

[@MrDrTJ]

Great idea. I bet you can find some interesting bones in the bins at work 😂

[@MrDrTJ]

@@BenjisHobbies why print dragon skulls when there's a perfectly good reptile section.....😉

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Nice work man :) Something I've been meaning to try myself, so it's good to see how preparing the bones turns out!

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks dude! I would love to see what you can do using this! 😊

[@JRobb84]

This is a really clever idea! Really should paint my own Mando at some point, took me enough prints to get it right! The scatter terrain pieces are excellent, the 3D prints just sell the whole effect. Congratulations on 1K subs!

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks John! Get him painted! I really enjoyed painting him and as I said in the video I felt like it really worked for my style of painting.

Don’t forget to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 😁👍🏼

The algorithm is appeased for another week. Thanks as always!

[@TableTopMagpie-Lee]

"I Made Wargaming Terrain using a ROAST CHICKEN!" - good grief mate,. I actually LOLd at that title! Might have a look at the sort of stuff I can do with salt n pepper rib leftovers :D Edit - forgot to add, the end result is mint, top work.

[@BenjisHobbies]

Hahaha! I have no doubt you’d be able to make something out of them! Giant bone obelisks or standing stones could look good!

[@TableTopMagpie-Lee]

@@BenjisHobbies hmmm, delicious *and* mysterious!

[@PaintbrushPirate]

Didn't realise you had a printer mate, this is a fantastic idea. Plus gives me an excuse to eat some chicken, not that I ever need much of an excuse...

[@BenjisHobbies]

I got it for Christmas, although I’m trying not to use it to print things unless I need them. I think it could get addictive! Would love to see what you do with this idea!

[@PaintbrushPirate]

@@BenjisHobbies ha, yeah, addictive is one way to describe it... I'm thinking swamp terrain. I'm currently stuck on what sort of basing theme to do for my Star Wars minis, I want something different but I want to be able to tie it onto terrain

[@CraftyRic]

What a great idea!!! Using real bones also give you that distinctive porous surface on them!

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks! They definitely have a different look and texture to other materials. You can definitely tell when bones have been 3D printed.

[@whssy]

First roast the chicken Next eat the chicken Then proceed with the rest of the project.

[@BenjisHobbies]

I think it’s a good way to start any project!

[@whssy]

@@BenjisHobbies unless you are a chicken of course. Then it would be the worst way to start your project.

[@BenjisHobbies]

My ability to hobby would also be severely hampered if I was a chicken...

[@whssy]

@@BenjisHobbies And even more so if you were a roast chicken.

[@andreatarabella4202]

wow, very cool!

Thank you 😊

[@nathanfoster4096]

I was hoping you was going to show how to cook the chicken hahahaha

[@BenjisHobbies]

Hahaha! Why cool it when you can get someone to do it for you?!

[@geekfreak69]

Planning to use my next roast chicken bones.

[@JayhanLordofCats]

That is amazing I never thought of chicken bones lol May I ask where is the Mando from?

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks! It’s super simple but looks pretty effective! It was a free file that I found on Thingiverse so should be easy enough to find!

[@freelancerblitz2579]

love it, genius! and delicious! lol

[@BenjisHobbies]

I’ve been trying to make more terrain out of other delicious foods, but no luck so far. I’ll keep trying though 😂

[@freelancerblitz2579]

@@BenjisHobbies you can get chicken feet from petfood shops, also things like antlers and hoofs lol

[@michaelmiller2570]

i saw a guy who used real mouse bones to make a converted vermilord and everyone called him a psychopath. i just see it as creativity.

[@BenjisHobbies]

Absolutely! I mean, the bones would just be going to waste otherwise so may as well get some use out of them. The entirety of that chicken got used!

[@whssy]

@@BenjisHobbies bone also has less of a permanent environmental impact than plastics.

[@gorram]

Another really interesting and inventive video, love it! Great looking diorama too... it gets tougher and tougher to not invest in a 3D printer

[@BenjisHobbies]

Thanks Jill! It was one of those things that I don’t think I needed but it will (and already has!) be very useful. They’re so reasonably priced now too it felt like a great time to jump in!

[@beaubooker433]

Hmmmmm, what can I do with a left over sammmich??🤔 Awesome dude!! Kind of gross, but hey, circle of life, right??😀👍

Thanks Beau! I just see it as recycling 😉

Thats why your my spirit animal!!

[@filthybrown]

wow looks like i'm the only one freaked out by this! seems wrong! haha reminds me of the guy who glued dead flies to his nurgle marines, or the one that used real snail shells to sculpt gribblies coming out of them! using dead things is just creepy ya bunch o creeps! :P

[@BenjisHobbies]

I ate the chicken first? Not sure how you can be creeped out by this if you eat meat!

[@filthybrown]

@@BenjisHobbies each to their own! i'm clearly the odd one out as no-one else has an issue haha it does look good don't get me wrong, even if the bones were cast i'd be fine. it just has a "serial killer making a lampshade out of human skin" vibe to me (no offence haha this is really coming off like an attack on you, i love the channel and all the stuff you do! hard to judge tone in text, this is all in good humour/spirit of debate)

Give it a go dude! Would love to see other people use this technique!

[@acerba]

I might try this with cow bone

[@BenjisHobbies]

That’ll be one big terrain piece!

[@whssy]

Sculpting in cow bone with a dremel is always an option. But best to use raw sunbleached ones that have been dug down in the ground for a couple of years, apparently. My local luthier does that with moose bones to make all the nuts for his guitars.

Not everyone has a 3D printer though, and I’ve yet to find a file that looks like real bones.
