This is hands-down your best build video to date by a very long shot. Not only are the techniques you used incredibly accessible to all levels of hobbyists, but your final product punches WAY above its weight in terms of the cost and effort required to pull it off THIS level of quality. There are also a number of different directions your audience could take this to truly make the build their own, and fit into their own fantasy world. I strongly, strongly encourage you to keep going in this direction for your content. Grimdark is all the hotness right now, and there’s no better way to explore that aesthetic in a fantasy setting than Mordheim.

Living in a house that was built in 1406 from oak beams infilled with wattle and daub I can tell you this model build looks amazing as a representation of a medieavel street scene. I've picked up lots of tips for my own Mordheim buildings. Thanks - Darren

Man Eric, the detail and complexity of your builds always leaves me speechless. Your videos are such a delight to watch! On another note, I hope mullets are coming back the same as frosted tips because I have a pretty good one going thanks to the quarantine. Cheers sir!

Sounds cool Adam! You might have to share those treasure hunt rules with me once you are satisfied with em

[@Isdezenaambezet]

My friends and I built a whole city with that bricklaying technique about 12 years ago. Eventually I just switched to etching bricks into the foam, that was much easyer and faster. It also tended to last longer as the bricks had a tendency to crumble a bit.

[@Draculord666]

Your terrain is the perfect mix of being accessible enough while still having such a great end result, keep it up, dude!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thats what im going for! Thank you

[@kallisto9166]

Nice work Eric! These look great. For what it's worth, here in the UK at least, they've started making XPS in black. It's a godsend for any brick-based build, because with the pink or blue stuff, no matter how assiduous you are with your painting, there's always a bit of the base colour that shows through, usually in the cracks between bricks. Black foam deals with that and also guards against later damage revealing the foam.

[@FriebzaEmberorOfUniverse]

Duuuuuuuude. Nice build man. Btw how far did you make it through The Wheel of Time? I think I got to book 7 or 8 and had to stop lol. First few were so good. But yeah, that’s an amazing build Eric.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Neil! I got to book four, then I lost my paperback copy and kind of lost steam. I’ve been meaning to pick it back up and give it another go but I’ve been having too much fun reading black library 40k stuff recently

[@jimmygallagher9843]

Don't do it. I think I got to book ten or eleven and couldn't remember who half the characters were. I read them one after another so it's not like I just forgot due to not having read the books in a while. You would need photographic memory to follow the books all the way. Like you said, it started off brilliantly then gets gradually more complicated and just not worth it. The Gaunts Ghosts and Gotrex and Felix books are brilliant fun.

So, after watching your latest Mordheim video (about the new game you've been invited to, Oct 2022), I had to go back and rewatch some of these older ones. Fantastic as usual. The one thing that I did not seem to realize the first time I watched this two years ago, was that you did not prime the terrain before painting it! You just slapped that paint on! Interesting... Anyhoo, I love watching your work. I was a patron for a while but had to drop a few months ago because of financial constraints, but maybe it is time to join once again! I do love your videos, old and new.

[@MichaelAlthauser]

[@DAzOPOs]

Thank you for the inspiration and building technique! Mordheim is the best game ever!

[@dougsundseth6904]

Very nice effect, especially the woodwork. If you want glass in some or all of those leaded windows, try acrylic gloss medium: set the mesh on wax paper and paint the medium in heavily and let it dry. Surface tension will keep it attached to the mesh. You can even stain it if you want. FYI, "basswood" is pronounced like the fish, not like a musical instrument.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Doug, sounds like a cool technique i will play around with that someday. As for pronunciation, I knew that once and somehow forgot while filming. Cheers

[@dougsundseth6904]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Depending on the viscosity of the gloss medium, you can also often "glass" the openings when the mesh is upright. But it can be a pain to keep it upright until the medium dries. If you lay the window down on wax paper, the look is a bit different but you don't have to worry about orientation. As to pronunciation, at least we're not talking about "Drow" (which rhymes with "bow" ... one way or another 8-) ).

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Great job on that decayed look! I really like the visual story you tell with the damaged foundations and supports.
