There are no building codes in Warhammer 40k | Ash Wastes Fortress

In this video I am building a fortress in the rocky crags of the Ash Wastes of Warhammer 40k.

Hey Eric,have you been informed on the controversy and drama around Temu and their shady business practices?

[@catzilla9330]

ya I would not sponsor temu again its supposedly a fraudulent scam

[@lonewolfgaming4403]

Very controversial brand to be promoting

[@TheKlabim]

Would not want to be associated with temu. But I guess the bills need to be paid.

[@CharlieTrew-mj5wl]

You know they sell your credit card information

[@Ghillie_Dhu_]

In the grim darkness of the far future... there is no OSHA.

[@pizzalord3n]

Forever lost to the dark ages

[@jandukanocraft6897]

😂😂😂😂

[@KCUFOFF]

But they still wear steel toe foot wear. So Oshawa still lives on.

[@kentowakai1234]

Or even worse - THERE IS ONLY OSHA! (doom doom doom dooooooom)

[@Diseptibots]

Abandon reason know only OSHA violations

[@gustav3634]

I think you do a very good job showcasing that stuff can look silly and weird during the process, the way you use parts of toys, cereal boxes and little random plastic parts in odd colors. Looking at a finished piece of wargaming scenery can be very daunting because it always looks amazing when done by someone like yourself but following along the steps and seeing how it all comes together gives that Bob Ross feeling of anyone being able to do it.

[@fluidfox1436]

Lots of art goes through an ugly stage. You just keep going, and voila!

[@chrisbowman9408]

Eric always has the wildest, out of pocket commentary on these super chill videos and I’m always here for it. So funny!

[@stevenvasquez9869]

This video is fantastic. Not only because of the professional build or because the music is not intrusive or abrasive. But because of the conversation I felt we shared while I watched you build. And not about the build or build specifics but all the random little comments on the way. Thank you, keep it up friend!

[@Sam_888]

Yes! Summed up my thoughts too! Great video

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

Ah, now this is a good old classic style EHW video. The delightful asides about food and such are so very "you." Surfactant. What a word. And, of course, top notch crafting as always! Love the result.

[@HoosierGM]

"It's ok for your art to not look good at every part of the process" I was someone that needed to hear that, thanks for the wisdom!

[@funkaoshi]

"The best way to make something look like it was built with no plan is to just build it with no plan" 🤣 Amazing build!

[@epickingedward7378]

The irony of being sponsored by temu on a video about poor working conditions is not lost on me XD

[@mattw_dev]

Man... we need Battle Reports on your amazing builds... you always teasing us with this nice environements.

[@mikevincent8728]

You know you've unlocked a new level of life when you can just say the words from a meme in your videos, rather than inserting the meme itself. Eric, you are a true visionary. I salute you.

[@dartmart9263]

“I thought about repairing the wire … but I recently watched First Blood …” Words to live by, Eric!!!

[@marvinvieth7853]

This episodes narration is particularly unhinged in the best way possible

[@shawnpurnell7552]

This is as much a standup routine as it is an instructional video. You’ve always been informative, but I really feel like you’re upping your comedy game!

[@lukagarma674]

This video is classic EHW. Your stream of consciousness discussion of anything and your building really demos what the big terrain process is like. Love it!

[@sandyman3070]

His sense of humor with the flat, monotone delivery reminds me a lot of MittenSquad. RIP homie.

[@alexfilmwriting]

lol wtf bro the sarcasm is so thick in this narration. love it

[@CygnusMaximusXIII]

This is awesome! The only thing I'd add if I were building it is little numbered signs over/by each cave entrance. That way you could have a mechanic where if a model goes into a cave entrance, they emerge from a randomly-chosen cave somewhere else on the build.

[@gaius9240]

I just literally just finished building my small house and it did feel like it I had to wrestle it out of the city inspectors and building codes, you almost made made spit my tea out. Great video thank you so much doing what you do

[@GloriousGrunt]

Commentary on Rambo, Spirited away, building codes, Pizza Hut, annoying burger design, Anakin's issues with sand and Vanilla Ice all in the same video? Unreal 😎🤙 Also I have those pipes and they are awesome for industrial builds, highly recommend for all crafters!

[@cobaltsconstrux]

right before 5:04 when you mentioned Chihiro going down down the rickety stairs in spirited away I was ready to comment that your sculpture reminded me of that scene!!! 🤣

[@joelmorris1053]

"The best way to build something that looks like it was built with no plan is to build it with no plan" This statement made me laugh out loud! Love your vids and your work. Thanks for sharing your creative process with the community.

[@hyperbene7711]

Love the build and will watch again for the sound track; you are comedy gold. Whadda personality!

[@jamesdavison2261]

Great job Eric - you're the best i've found for showing not telling; feels like watching a nature documentary.

[@Augdown]

Alternative video title - ‘Eric slowly descends into madness’. Some of your quips had me in stitches. Keep up the good work mate! Now where is that follow up to inquisitor - not that u bought a book and models off the back of your last video…

[@thejosephchrist]

Using the heat gun to nicely round out the edges is brilliant.

[@miketeeveedub5779]

Home Depot manager: "Who cleared out all the PS foam?" Home Depot Employee: "Eric's making Warhammer set pieces, in addition to his Imperator titan." Joking aside - that was some brilliantly simulated stone. Using the cross cut/chipping technique worked beautifully, as well as the heat gun to round out the rock face. That made for some relaistic weathering effects. Keep up the good work! BTW - off to my local Lebanese Shawarma joint for a Falafel pita!

[@harlandmountain7998]

I'm jealous! I live in a small town so the most ethnic stuff we have are a couple of mexican restaurants and chinese places.

[@Lillen121swe]

oohh I can see that build with a desert color and a company of tallarn desert raiders! Where the cliffs are the only way to hide from the scorching sun! Thanks of the inspiration, will definitely do something similar but go the desert route! Keep it up Eric, all the love from sweden!

[@trikepilot101]

"You might want to open some drawers . . . " Lovin' the humor.

[@davidmacon1138]

@5:12 I immediately thought of Family Guy Star Wars scene.... "Gee you think they would at least install a safety rail here."

[@Netbug]

I'm new to your channel, having found it with the giant Titan video. After seeing this, I feel very confident that the Titan is going to be awesome. I'm glad you're taking your time with it.

[@gribblegreeble]

Eric...the John Rambo of terrain building

[@_tactical_viking_]

Your little bits of introspection this video had me cracking up

[@LibraryMercenary]

You knocked the narration out of the park with this one, Eric!

[@metalman895]

Before you mentioned Spirited Away, I was already thinking about Studson's Ghibli builds. Your side buildings remind me a lot of the ones on the side of Howl's moving castle. At least when you were starting to build them.

[@jaystarrs08]

Amazing work, get some ash waste nomads on that bad boy! Best terrain on this channel. Hands down.

[@mattiasgamin3891]

Spectacular! And the narration is 10/10.

[@footrot17]

Looks like it would be a lot of fun. Snakes and ladders, king of the hill race to the top. Plenty of spots for enemy ambushes. Good work man

[@ajisinthewoods3692]

As usual, your composition on this is just so bang on perfect. I don’t know if it’s your construction experience, your gamer experience or you use references but every time you make something like this, I can see myself running around in it. Just out of this world work once again!

[@sevenfiftygaming]

Beautiful structure aside... I really enjoyed your full on sass in this one! Your dry sarcasm is on point!

[@dragonsmith9502]

The simple, few-step process of this entire paint scheme is honestly tempting me to do something similar, but with maybe more Mechanicum inspiration and using some 3d-printed terrain bits I've had lying around for a while. Maybe a missile silo or the smokestack/maintenance scaffolding of a giant manufactorum hidden inside a mountain. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@darknob]

I really appreciate crafting videos where im shown the finished thing from the start instead of a silly reveal. I puts the crafting I'm seeing in context. Great video. Thank you

[@darthinfamous73]

I feel like Eric is channeling his inner Joe Pera in this video.

[@makkon06]

so gratifying seeing those foam rocks being built. I love every step of the process. one of these days I'm going to buy some XPS foam and make some myself

[@mrgazpacho3316]

The point about it not having to look good at every stage is a good one. All my miniatures look like crap halfway through and then eventually it all comes together in the end.

[@janofe2232]

This technique for making the stone texture is mindblowing. Can't wait to try it. Was thinking it would look really good as the walls of an old castle too in a fantasy setting.

[@waamatt]

There are some truly amazing remarks in this one. Oh, and the terrain piece looks great too.

[@bocktordaytona5656]

Oh what a build........ WHAT A LOVELY BUILD!

[@bocktordaytona5656]

BTW you sound today a bit sad or raspy are you good Mr Eric?

[@battlebrothers_40k]

Absolute top tier video as always. Hands down my favorite hobby channel on youtube. Fun, informative, easy to follow and incredibley inspiring. Keep it up brother I love this channel

[@daynoart]

It was the hidden anakin skywalker quote that got me to hit the like button 👌

[@footrot17]

Really. Thats sad. Dude put hours into this and you like like a 3 second sound bite. Small brain

[@rhino5419]

Another great build. I agree with the sand quote from Anakin too. All the best.

[@Ranca666]

Absolutely stunning piece!

[@MonkeyTechPriest]

Doing a very similar build right now and if your other videos were inspirational for my 40k hive city wastes, this video is a HOLY GRAIL. Love your work!

[@cosmoceratops]

In the grim darkness of the far future, there are only neighborhood guidelines

[@jczerzzz]

Another great Build! Thank you so much for all the Inspiration!

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Fabulous build, great wisdom. Can't ask for anything more. Cheers!

[@DungeonMasterMaker]

Love your way of building Eric! Always very inspiring to watch

[@emmamarx9284]

Always love when you put out terrain builds, make me want to build projects I’d have no hope of ever storing lol

[@HappyHappyJoyJoy658]

I don't know if it's something I've missed from the lore, has there been a EHWS & BMC crossover collab? Seems like that melding of minds could yield something truly majestic, you're both Canuck's right, I know those northern wastes are big but you don't even need passports to make this dream team happen. We used to drive round in the noughties in irresponsibly fast cars ironically blaring some 'Vanilla', happier more innocent times, I've got a lump in my throat just thinking of the days, damn I'm old, yeah thanks Eric!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Would love to.....I could drive to Mexico faster than I could drive to where Eric is in Ontario, even though it's my neighbouring province. Canada is very very big.

[@Jerzy-pf7on]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial ✈

[@ScratchBashing]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Mexico collab confirmed

[@Subculturevolt]

I found you from these kinds of your early builds. Love it

[@kal_spriggs]

Great video, I enjoyed the build. What you mentioned about the inhabitants having to fight to protect their home resonates a bit, especially in the modern world where people have lost their homes over such things.

[@RobinPortnoff]

Great piece! I was just thinking today about a mound inspired habitat for my game. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@CaptIronfoundersson]

Seriously one of the best in the business. Your builds are always amazing.

[@jameschurch6822]

This is incredible. I made a piece inspired by your hive city slum a while back and I'm definitely going to have a go at this. Please keep making content.

[@AchanCham_]

I really do enjoy these architecture videos. Great job!

[@kn0234n]

I love the heavy Fury Road Mad Max vibes I’m getting from this build. Great job dude 🤘

[@toogreytogame]

OK Eric, who do you have a bet with to get as many movie quotes into your video? 😂 Amazing build as always

[@Jan_Tabletop]

Dang, love it. Best rock-making-technique! Thanks for showing.

[@harlandmountain7998]

"It doesn't need to look good at every step" is something I have to keep reminding myself. That, and "Trust the process." Painted up some skeletons for Frostgrave and DnD and decided to go with a rusting armor theme. Oh boy did they look like complete crap until I did the last fiddly details and got them with a black wash. This build is definitely amazeballs. I really wish I had the room to store something that size. Largest build I'm really able to get away is about 14 inches cubed.

[@Yortman11]

This really reminds me of the mining/ manufacturing buildings that are set into the side of the canyon in the Ghibli movie "Castle in the Sky"

[@moeheep]

LOVED this video. This will definitely be my next project as I am just getting into Ash Wastes!

[@TheThunderinghammer]

The idea of a Tyrannical government attacking a outlaw fortress for the sole reason of violation of bureaucratic building code parameters, is just hilariously absurd to me, its like how mobsters get arrested for tax evasion of all things, you gotta love it

[@x.davidwilliams83]

Huzzah,, Top Notch build Buddy. And I agree with you about Robert Van Winkle. He does deserve more respect. Also Anakin's bit about the sand never old.

[@DungeonMasterpiece]

I used to work at Pizza Hut, and they have a few different names for different pizza hut concepts. "Red Roof" was the name of dine-in-only stand alone.

[@duncanmcdane388]

Awesome Erik! Very effective too. Very inspirational.

[@user-vv1bd9dz6j]

Прекрасный объект получился, и сборка и покраска. Лайк.👍 Очень живо передаёт всю депрессивную атмосферу миров «Вархаммер 40К». Отдельное спасибо за качество видео и за демонстрацию способа иммитации выветривания осадочных скальных пород на 01:57-03:45. (с помощью канцелярского ножа, металлической щётки и теплового фена). It turned out to be a wonderful object, and the assembly and painting. Like.👍 Warhammer 40K conveys the whole depressive atmosphere of the worlds very vividly. Special thanks for the quality of the video and for demonstrating the method of simulating the weathering of sedimentary rocks at 01:57-03:45. (using a stationery knife, a metal brush and a thermal hair dryer).

[@SnoddiesHobbies]

Skywalker sand quote never gets old.

[@BachDienstag]

I feel like its time we get a colab between you and PlayOn. Imagine a 40k in 40min on an awesome scratch build Eric board!

[@IamRidiculous89]

Hey Eric, great content as alwasy! hope you're doing well. I cant help but think throughout the video you sounded like you might be a little burnt out or down maybe. Either way, wishing you and your family all the best bud. Keep up the great builds!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I was sick recording this. Normal toddler stuff 😂

[@Gesufal]

Great job ! It remind me some pictures of photographers like Bernd et Hilla Becher (great inspiration for industrial dystopia).

[@robertwinter1670]

This reminds me of some of the fortress in the Mad Max Video Game. Really nice job ! I love it. Especially the buildings around the rockformation!

[@dartmart9263]

That looks a lot like the modern gold mining “facilities” I found in third world countries. I love it

[@perrygrosshans8537]

I watched the first 15 seconds and I've seen enough to "like" and comment. Holy Hell that looks AMAZING. I continue to be in sheer AWE of your crafting skills my man. I love how you just "slap" stuff together and it transforms into something miraculously wonderful. You're a wizard, aren't you Harry? Damn, I love these videos. Keep it up! Can't wait for the next update on the Titan! (oh, and I guess I'll go and watch the rest of this video now, lol!)

[@destroysomething13]

This building would work well in the underhive as well, the inhabitants built their dwellings in a huge slag/waste heap. great work as always Eric :)

[@ArmouryTerrain]

This is a very effective piece, I can imagine a 40k table with half a dozen or so of these stacks, and the joys of highground for shooting and having blocking cover to hide behind.

[@bloodsecret17j19]

I’m proud to say the Pizza Hut in my town has the classic red roof still. Mind blowing build keep it up!

Awesome work Eric, I really enjoyed the mood in this one ✌

[@szeitlin]

This terrain piece didn't look like much in the thumbnail, but I'm glad I watched - the video was so much fun, and seeing how it was put together and the thought process made me realize how cool it is. I wonder if it would make a stronger first impression with bright colors like real painted shantytowns around the world.
