Warhammer 40,000 2nd Edition: MAKING OLDHAMMER TERRAIN

Come with me on a journey through time and space...well, to 1993 (!) where I'll be building, painting and playing my way through Games Workshop's first Warhammer 40,000 starter set.
In this episode, I try my hand at making the cardstock terrain a little easier on the eye!
Speaking of eyes - keep your eye-holes open for the next episode, where I'll be battling my way through twenty Goff Boyz!!!

​@edpaintsminis the posters were awesome how did you make them?

[@williamsworkshopuk]

FYI a drop of washing up liquid in the watered down PVA mix would break the surface tension and cause it to soak in rather than bead up. Love a bit of 2nd Edition - thank you.

What a great idea for a series man! Looking forward to the minis video and more cat time!

[@hyp3r-systems838]

if you stayed consistent with your videos with doing at least 1 or 2 a month, with the style and quality of your editing i could EASILY see you becoming as big as Mid Winter Mini's, you have similar production qualities and voices and its nice to have another channel thats similar to MidWinters to watch when he's inbetween new videos, keep doing more! we all love it!!!

[@edpaintsminis]

Wow that's high praise indeed and I'm not sure I agree with you - but thank you :). I'll try and get at least two out a month so you can look forward to some more videos soon.

​@@edpaintsminisI agree with him. Very nice video

[@benjih-man612]

The whole time I was freaking out that you didn’t paint the piece before gluing on the OG cardstock; thinking you’d accidentally get primer on it or something. Then I realized…you’re a much better painter than I.😂

[@cornerwizard]

What an excellent video! Huge smack of 2nd Ed nostalgia with some fantastic innovation. A pleasure to watch and really looking forward to the project continuing! Also great cat addition.

Thanks buddy- I'll get back on it soon!

[@tc518]

Really interesting idea for a series! Such great nostalgia value with those early editions being lovingly updated.

[@TheLunatiched]

If you add some isopropanol to the watered down glue, it will break the surface tension and keep it from beading up like that. Also, it helps the glue flow everywhere.

[@TheLunatiched]

@@edpaintsminis Awesome, looking forward to it. Cheers. 👍

[@tightning]

This just got pushed onto my recommended feed, what a great take on the 2nd edition card terrain. I'd love to see a similar interpretation for other 2nd edition card terrain, perhaps the Firebase or Bastion, the Gorkamorka fort, or even Necromunda terrain. Fantastic work!

[@edpaintsminis]

Welcome to the channel! I have been hunting for a firebase for a while now. As soon as I see one for a decent price I'll go for it. Alternatively I might scratch build my own...

[@ricoqwertz123]

Nice Video! What a great Idea 😊. I would have Likes to see the ruins set up with some miniatures though.

[@edpaintsminis]

It's in the works!

[@charlietheron8947]

Oldhammer was way before my time but I love the aesthetic.

[@makaan1932]

How you turned that old paper terrain into detailed pieces, amazing.

[@johnbusby215]

Before adding the second load of texture to the base you should have used "WET WATER" which is a railway modellers trick for making the glue soak in without moving the scatter around to much. So what is "WET WATER" you ask. It is water with a drop or two of dish washing liquid in it. It can also be helpful to add a drop or two of dish washing liquid to the PVA glue water mix. The idea behind it being it breaks the surface tension of the water and allows it to spread easy and soak in to where it is wanted.

[@muixameta]

Amazing work you are doing here, you are inspiring me to make similar things with my old set.

[@mrlogistics4510]

I found your channel not too long ago, and I have to say you're the best so far covering old hammer. Everything from the terrain, models, and even your battle reports theyre all A grade stuff!

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks so much! That's very kind of you. I'll try and keep the content going!

[@jasonrhome710]

This looks amazing! Something you could try on future terrain builds is hitting the reverse side of your printed posters with sandpaper in varying sections to create a distressed look.

[@edpaintsminis]

Good call! I'm going to try this.

[@weirdwwii8775]

Reminds me of the old days when we did the same thing. Great stuff.

[@adrianthom2073]

I have my two oldest boys (7 & 9), using the orks and Gretchen’s models from the 2nd Edition Box set to practice painting. Unfortunately I gave the space marines away to friends when I got this 20+ years ago.

[@HighlandPhoenix]

Aha! Found your how to do 2nd Edition terrain video - excellent!

[@sanguisdominus]

Instead of dripping the PVA on with a brush to set everything, mix 2:1 water and Mod Podge. then get a little spritzing spray bottle thing, and spray it over with that. Works wonders to seal everything in! Mod Podge works so much better for sealing stuff than PVA.

[@kharnifex]

Very nice!

[@nrais76]

That's incredible. Wish I had time (and space) to do that.

[@fernlenker]

Wouldn't that be something...

[@farseerflore9512]

Man, I love the 2nd Edition box art. Spent hours looking at it as a kid. My guess is the box was purchased before 3rd ED came out? They were selling the 40k starter set with Dark Millenium included for £20 for a short time, it's how me and my younger brother got into 40k as kids.

[@edpaintsminis]

That's an interesting bit of trivia! Yeah I guess that is likely what happened!

[@WilhelmScreamer]

This is unspeakably dope

[@ktg8030]

I don’t know man. I have this set. And the terrain is still mint. One of the great things about these old games is playing them as they were played at the time. When you do all this too them, you just end up doing what you could do with any modern terrain. I guess that is why I prefer to leave mine as I played when I was younger.

[@edpaintsminis]

Fair play! My set was a little battered so I felt needed a little TLC. All these materials were available in the 90s too and I seem to remember people did reinforce them usually by putting them on card bases - I just went a little further! People also have commented on the lack of goblin green/flock which is understandable! Thanks for the comment and the watch 🙂

Alcohol breaks the surface tension and spreads the thinned down PVA. That way you wont need to add many drops of it and wait for them y to spill all over the terrain. Great video

[@SMunozDB7]

@@edpaintsminis i love how you are reconciling "classic" terrain with the modern "weathered" style. Havent seen that way of restoring old terrain before. How marvelous to have that box in such good condition. Maybe you could put some of those repetititve gretchens in "new grimdark" style bases with bits and such. They may be all the same but the bases could tell a story on their own. Whatever you do with this project im looking forward to it.

[@davidpearce7344]

Cool video, but the use of rubber bands to hold the psychic and wargear cards together is distressing - rubber bands often degrade as they age and can fuse to whatever they are attached to. When that happens you won't be able to remove them without damaging the cards.

[@pike6487]

Great video, I'm really enjoying the content on this channel. To give some unsolicited advice, don't use rubber bands round the cards, they can perish over time and stick to the card, potentially leaving a mark (unfortunately I'm speaking from experience here). I'm trying hair bands instead now, hopefully they won't have the same issue.

[@edpaintsminis]

Hello! Awesome to think there are folks out there following the tutorial. Just thinking back, it was only the inside walls that were painted with the modpodge paint mix, using regular artist acrylics you can get in any art shop. I didn't mix any water in at all, and it was probably more acrylic than modpodge (in the end between 60-70% paint to podge!). You shouldn't have any trouble with coverage then. Let me know how you get on!

what a great idea! I still have those cardboard terrain pieces at home, I think I will do the same with them. Was it intentionally to not copy the inside of the walls? I cannot do this anymore, unfortunately, because I glued the pieces already. I think I have played with the stuff from this box about 3-4 times with my brother. The terrain we used more often, however we both played (surprise, surprise) Space Marines. So we did not really used the Orcs.

Thanks so much! Great that people are still commenting on this video a year on. It was intentional to not do the inside walls, as things would have got a bit more complicated I think. I pretty much just made it up as I went along!
