Miscast has a barricade that looks like one of these so if you want to check that out - go here - • Walls and Barricades -...

[@Godonstilts]

The word for which you are looking, is the 'loophole' in the area of the embrasure - more commonly known as the shooty hole!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Loophole sounds funny and embrasure sounds like a made up word! But thank you, as you have now confirmed shooty hole to me in common usage I will keep using this with confidence!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Side note, I really don't like the third one. I don't think the painting helped but I wanted to release the video so had to stick with it. The idea is sound the execution less so!

[@JimmyCrawford]

THe long crossbeam should be at a higher angle, as its supposed to dig in when a tank tries to drive over/push it from the front. Other than that, they're not bad.

[@leewagner5158]

The second one looks great! One thing I’ve done for rebar is use a thick paper clips that I scratch up and bend with a pair of pliers. Great Work!!!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

That sounds like it would look great, I try and avoid working with metal, worried about cuts etc. If you want to post on facebook I'd love to see it?

[@predatoreusfilms9992]

This is easily the most underrated 40k channel, love it

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you very kindly, too kind :)

[@johnkelley9877]

They look good and I think you showed how using simple materials can produce some terrain with things most modelers and terrain makers have on hand. Thanks for sharing this.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

that's my main purpose here. I got a bit frsutrated trying to find terrain ideas but never having any of the stuff people used in videos. Some videos I am sure will get a bit more complex but want most to be very easy to replicate. My pleasure :)

[@TheDrewjameson]

Nice work! I think if the "shooty holes" (love it!) had the same angled corners as the barricade, it would look even better!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

It was something I considered but thought it might be a bit too much of a faff for me, I'm not sure I am skilled enough. As you can tell I am obviously a milatary expert.... Thank you :)

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.

[@nikolasjeffery3225]

@Abram Drake instablaster ;)

[@mikepalmer2219]

The shooty holes lol. I like it.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I refuse to believe that this isn't the correct technical term!

[@macdansav1546]

The barricades look awesome. I really like the second one. I'd look for some Star Wars themed debris to add to it for Star Wars Legion. Perhaps you could use dried twigs mixed with the card pieces and lichen flocking to make a forest/ jungle themed barricade - Endor style?

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

For sure, I went for like a 40k style to go with my building but you could maybe try and make it look like crashed ship parts and set in a jungle as you' say. If you do it, post it in the fb group :) Thank you :)

[@edevans5991]

If you cut up the sprues into smaller bits, they make surprisingly convincing piles of bricks. Those plus some kitty litter plus some of your sand can put some nice texture on the bases of terrain.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Nice, I would probably use cut up foam board but that sounds interesting, thanks for sharing :(

[@Lewis-TheNthLevel]

Really like the first and second ones. Would love to see you do something more "orky" in that style!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Don't worry! It will happen. I just don't know when, maybe this Orktober.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Also I redid number 3 so it actually looked alright, and I smashe dth eone I made in this!

[@osgarlo]

i love the "shooty holes" haha And I think if you add some barbed wire to the third one it would look amazing honestly!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I redid the third one just with equal length pieces, and it was much better :)

[@paintandplayminis328]

hahaha! The junk wall looked really good but maybe just a little bigger. The bunker would look really good with some barbed wire on the top. Im also not fond of the tank buster terrain but it did come out good but maybe of a table top modern war game.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

yeah I think in the past I have been too reluctant to add details to try and keep things simple but it does improve stuff adding that kind of stuff :)

[@shadowsage1]

Great stuff man and a well-produced video too

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you very much, I wanted to try and up my game a little for 2020. Thanks :)

[@shadowsage1]

@@TerrainMadeEasy only constructive criticism I can offer is to show off each piece after its done, like at 4:52

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

@@shadowsage1 Fair enough, I think this is an odd one out as I was doing three things, but sure will try and keep in mind :)

[@xCriticalStrikex]

That second one looks great and could easily diversify a battle ground, might try this myself! The first one looks way too similar to the easily obtainable ones and ones that come for free with legion etc but the tutorial was solid, for someone like me who hasn't really done very much in terrain making its cool to see how simple trash can be made into usable table ready stuff! Agree with you on the last one, cool idea but didn't work well in practice this time :(

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I am revisiting the last one, I will put a little bonus vid out of a better version, I know what you mean on the barricade, obviously if you have the legion ones or other ones you wouldn't build these :) Thanks for your kind words :)

[@Pintroll300]

I tried the tank trap idea using sprues as well, but instead of sticking the first two parts to a base and then adding the third, i spent maybe an hour total holding the crosses until i could add the third length of sprue, so i had one for each axis from the centre (up/down, backwards/forwards and left/right) granted, they’re fairly ugly in the case of mine, but they stand freely and i can put them just about anywhere when setting up terrain to form chokepoints and infantry only zones that balance out larger games with really varied armies! (Also I’m building an Army of Imperial Guard, so it makes some sense for them to have tank traps of some kind!)

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Just to say I did an update to this video in which I do them again but better, can't quite remember how I did it only the simple change for me was to have 3 pices the same length and that really sorted it for me. They are good to do and cheap for sure!

[@alloydog613]

I think your "Inspired by Aegis" barricade is better than the GW one - the GW one has sticky-out bits at the front which would made horrendous shot-trap in real life!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I wish I detailed the back of it as well as the front but it's simple and looks decent. Thanks.

[@scottwilliams3665]

I would put bailing wire reinforce ment

[@francisbond5605]

I don't have any foam board, is there an alternative material that I could use? like cardboard, or something?

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

If you make anything from this vid, I'd love to see on our facebook group! facebook.com/groups/450820895603289/

[@longhunter5935]

I think that your third baracade needs to be taller would have worked better. I added home made barbed wire to mine and small rivets.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I re-did it in it's own short video! I think you are right, it needed to be bigger and actually symetrical.

[@Jormyyy]

@Longhunter How does one make home made barb wire for minis?

[@longhunter5935]

Look on KZbin for “how to make model Barbed wire” by jerseydevil1976. There are a couple others out there too. Some promoting making a jig to build it. It’s not necessary unless you need meters of it.

[@Jormyyy]

@@longhunter5935 much appreciated!

[@noquedaniuno]

@@TerrainMadeEasy taking the idea of the barbed wire... Making it even taller without a base and use de barbed wire as the union, you can actually use it as is and make it look more real

[@harazhangf5782]

Since you released the video the official name has been changed to "shooty holes" whatever the name was before.

[@harazhangf5782]

Considering your last barricade TheTerrainTutor made a video about these and he gives a few good tips on it if you're interested. That being said really nice video, I love your first barricade, gonna try something similar in a near future I think.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I'm glad the name has been settled. It's long since over due. And I actually remade those in a seperate vid and watched Mel as wel. Thanks :)

[@harazhangf5782]

@@TerrainMadeEasy Then I'll watch the new vid' to see your progress. :-)

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I remade the Chech Hedgehog and smashed the old one with a hammer. Go check it out - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ-pkomlea-Sb7s

[@azrael1045]

they are called "murder holes"

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I still like shooty holes

[@wilburr1316]

Shooty holes...

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

The shooty holes will be mentioned in every video with shooty holes, so say we all.
