Hold of the Deepking from Out of the Abyss - Dungeons and Dragons

[@kdonv]

Wyloch - I don't even build any of these, I just love watching to these and listening to you explain what you're building (and why you're building them). Great fun and enjoyable!

[@rickspotten8497]

Ahh. Finally able to watch this. I found this video just as we were entering Gracklstugh in our weekly game, and I shut it down when you told your players to stop watching it. I didn’t want any spoilers for our game. Well, in our session last night we finally left Gracklstugh after Themberchaud razed it to the ground. Hahaha. It wasn’t that spoilery, but still worth the wait. Great build. I’m not running D&D anymore, but I am making terrain for the Middle-earth SBG. This can be used for a number of Dwarven battle scenarios, or even a Barad-dûr stand in. I just need to make a large outer gate. Thanks again for all the great videos and advice.

[@prnzali2010]

Nice crafting! Your technique for edge non "highlighting": nice shot comparing the results when done right vs too bright. Thanks for sharing

[@TheGameSmithsTable]

It's because of builds like this that I started tabletop crafting. Outstanding!

[@mikemckinney7031]

I appreciate the fortress build, the dwarven design, and the examples of your homework behind it. Ideas, ideas thank you.

[@stevedowning3892]

"Recreational trigonometry" is a term I'd never expect to hear. Your players are f-in spoiled, great work!

[@adamfox1669]

I completely agree. Spoiled rotten! I was considered to be a good DM by my group, but damn he spoils his players soooooo much. Hahaha I'm ready to be a low level peasant in his game

[@ArgentChaosJames]

Holy crap, talk about going above and beyond. Here I thought I stuck around for the Grimdark Future/40k crafts and BatReps, but now I'm sitting here thinking how I could up my D&D game

[@WylochsArmory]

It's a wide open world my friend.

[@sonic_gloom]

When you first started building this, I was like, "meh.." But I quickly changed my mind as everything started coming together. This is absolutely incredible! I wish I had the space to store something like this.

[@QuiniansBudgetCrafts]

Hey man no such thing as over explaining. Best to know more than we need than to not have enough info. That came out awesome

[@dratzlogic]

Awesome piece! And I think this would be a great introduction back into some larger scale construction. The shape is large, but easy to build out. you have great steps. Definitely giving me great ideas!

[@theDMsCraft]

Love the build Bill and thanks for the shout out.

[@jonlanger1989]

Another great application of the lava paint scheme. Great job.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@RollforDamageRFD]

This is one of the best builds ever!!!! I watched this on your patreon a dozen times and am already in the process of making it. Fantastic job man

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks man!

[@RollforDamageRFD]

Wyloch's Armory no man thank you. I love this build. I’m gonna add candle lights into the chambers that the lava pours from to give it that pulsing glow inside.

[@Project_Servotopia]

Dunno how I missed this video when it came out, but just watched this morning. Awesome results with the layering of the chipboard to create the geometric architectural elements -- I've got some ideas for that with some upcoming projects. And "recreational trigonometry" totally owned me. Been laughing at that all day so far.

[@richardokeeffe8375]

Best. Build. Yet. Inspiring stuff dude

[@merrymerryjerry6736]

Your Out of the Abyss game is probably a lot more awesome than when I ran it a couple years back.

[@brenttterry8259]

I love your videos, but we never get to see your process of design. That I would love to watch, even as a 2 hour long hang out. Keep them coming Wyloch.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@dubbydapanda7189]

The fact that the lava falls are modular is just so damn cool. You could totally use them for a dwarven smithing hall. I'm sorry to gush but this whole build is hitting the geek spot.

[@clashofthedice]

Absolutely awesome! Now inspired to make something similar for a GW Khorne setting; replace lava flows with blood flows and add a skull or two (dozen) here and there... My favourite build yet.

[@countzero1136]

If you haven't seen it already, check out Wyloch's Hellsphere build - that thing has Khorne written all over it!

[@danforthlaertes]

I've been binge watching your channel - not because I intended to craft any terrain (I have enough already done or in progress, and I don't need tiles like that) but because it is just really cool to watch. But now I see this and I am suddenly inspired to make some specific scenery for an upcoming session wherein the heroes invade a Chaos temple! This sort of design is very cool, and I am down with it :) Thanks, Wyloch! You're a pal.

[@WylochsArmory]

Rockin

[@danforthlaertes]

@@WylochsArmory Alright - I've planned it all out. I am going to use foam insulation instead of foamboard and go with a solid construction (so I can carve details into the face more easily) and I plan to make four (of identical structure, but with variant details) for the four Chaos gods - but the general shape will be your design and I shall make use of your excellent philosophy-of-crafting which (if you will forgive my presumption) appears to be "get it done at 80% for 50% effort so that we can actually play some games". Too often I have struggled with making the perfect the enemy of the good (or even the completed). Your stuff always looks very good - not perfect or photorealistic, but dramatic, bold, solid and sturdy, and it always makes a "spectacle" on the tabletop. I'm going to do this. I've got a vacation coming up. I'm going to get a 4'x8'x1" sheet of insulation board and make me a temple to Chaos Undivided!

[@JeffJedi]

Very cool! I would love to see one of the lava clips made broken and a puddle of lava spilling out onto the floor.

[@rcornejo911]

I bow before your crafting greatness. This is amazing!

[@williamhoover6902]

Very Cool!!! The only thing I would suggest is perhaps giving the lava effect on the face a bit of a protruding gutter at the top so that there is more of a vertical drop. Perhaps a little thickness to the flow. Pretty spectacular. I like how you break it down into simple steps but then end up with a pretty stunning piece.

[@Hnlamqe]

Really cool work. The painting tip for the structure will be useful. It would be interesting to know how your players react.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@dford4014]

You made your high school math teacher proud!

[@underhiversunderconstructi290]

Another great video and another great result.

[@SgtMaj22]

All hail the You Tube algorithm gods. I love this build. I am not running this module, but I will most certainly be making this fortress! Well, my version of it...

[@adamfox1669]

I've sat here watching these captivating videos ...no coffee,no cigarette and I'm still completely focused 😀

[@HallofCraftVids]

Man that really is an epic creation, builds like this make me so jealous that I don't have a large working space!

[@Wallach_a]

One of the best builds I’ve seen. Thx

[@WylochsArmory]

[@johndavis8998]

Wow. Have been searching for inspiration for Gauntlgrym for my OOTA adventure. This is great!

[@WylochsArmory]

Rockin

[@MaxDMCrafting]

Like it very much! Massive, but simple and effective!

[@hughragsdale7351]

Absolutely amazing as always!

[@legendaryg367]

Something like this but ice themed would be grate for my campaign

[@nekrataali]

That'd be really cool if you kept the lava but could make a nice "ice melting" effect that left exposed rock. Some white-blue ice would look amazing with the yellow-orange lava!

[@danforthlaertes]

You could do that just with hot glue unpainted, so it looks like ice-streams!

[@larrymanns364]

Do icicles instead of lava?

[@anotherview919]

I wish I was as committed to being a dungeon master as you

[@emanuelcamuglia5984]

you should do some extra walls to combine with that big castle entrance and get yourself a full fortress

[@fraxz88]

Your lava looks real good this time. It was ok last time but the clip ons look amazing.

[@WylochsArmory]

Practice makes perfect....or at least marginally better

[@FaustHarbinger89]

Absolutely fantastic. one of your best sir. keep it up!

[@botchedinitiative1054]

Recreational trigonometry.... I needed 2 cups of coffee to get through that concept

[@khimbar123]

This is just bloody brilliant. And that's all I have to say about that.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@AzraelThanatos]

Probably should have waited for the sculptamould until after you put the tiles in the hallway, it would make it look more like a meeting point of the two.

[@johneberts2918]

love the look lava looks great

[@larrymanns364]

When you convert this to Warhammer terrain that should be its own video, there is a HUGE overlap between D&D and Warhammer players and it would be great to have some videos talking about interchangeable / convertible terrain.

[@VikingFyre]

Would make a really good centerpiece for Frostgrave too

[@JuanFromH-Town]

Great stuff! I always leave with new ideas, thanks!

[@allgreatfictions]

I know I'm a year behind, but here's what my brain did: Wyloch: "I'm currently running out of the abyss" Me: "Go get some more, then."

[@richardfortier]

"My players, please turn off the video." Lol the constant struggle when sharing with the guild and the wide world :)

[@nekrataali]

@12:10 One thing that can drastically improve a piece's highlighting is to only highlight areas where light is coming from. In the case of this underground dwarf hold, you'd highlight edges facing the lava, and maybe do a dark wash on the sides facing away/aren't exposed to the lava. On most pieces, you're going to be highlighting more towards the top, where light would shine from the sun. Also, I'm curious if sculptamold would be better for the lava? Use it to make something with more texture, paint it like you did, then apply a gloss varnish. Or does it have too much texture to give the right look?

[@WylochsArmory]

It would assuredly look better for lava texture. This was a speedbuild though and I am generally impatient. :-D

[@shoreknightseer3152]

well, there goes my free time this weekend!

[@lewisharris3400]

Looks absolutely amazing, your players are going to be blown away when they come across it! It's a shame you didn't enter it into last months guild build, I would have voted for it :) Have you ever tried the texturised stone effect spray paints you can get for vases etc? I have always been curious about how they would work out for terrain building and this looks like the perfect project to find out.

[@WylochsArmory]

Yes on that spray paint - actually Scotty himself used it way back in his earliest episodes, years ago. I think it's great for doing rapid stone/dungeon tiles. After that you'd just be using it for the texture, and I think construction sand gives a more natural chaotic bumpy texture.

[@lewisharris3400]

@@WylochsArmory Aaah okay, cheers for the heads up. I'll go search DM Scotty's back catalogue and check out the finish. They always seem quite expensive anyhoo.

[@minismodelsanddioramas2494]

Are you sure it's safe to have those cardboard cut out dwarves so close to that lava? If they catch light you're going to piss off a whole lot of chaps with giant hats who will turn to Chaos to get revenge on you...

[@countzero1136]

LOL - Chaos Dwarfs are awesome - especially the old-school ones with the hats :)

[@danjatoba897]

Awesome

[@nicolastousignant9160]

Tea lights at the end of the lava tunnels would be amazing

Yup

[@Souppous]

“Recreational Trigonometry” something I’ve sadly never heard before

[@countzero1136]

Agreed - it's great to find practical uses for those things you learn at school - After all, you don't think you'll ever use Pythagoras until you want to put up a corner shelf :)

[@Derpy-qg9hn]

@@countzero1136 Pythagoras is among the top ten most helpful guys in the world as far as I'm concerned. Such a simple theorem, nothing to it, you can punch it out on a phone in under 10 seconds... and yet, it seems to solve anything and everything that the average person will encounter on a daily basis.

[@kagius1980]

Recreational trigonometry FTW!

[@johnsm3568]

Soooooooo nice!! Was there a follow up video where you use expanding foam to create a mountain for it to sit into?

[@danielgarlin6746]

Trig? I would have thought that fell more under geometry, but then I'm not a fan of the maths.

[@andrewamann8855]

Eh, trig is just hyperspecialized geometry...

[@Normangi]

also, plz dare try some freestyle gold or stone rune decors on those walls and doors, that will provide that last touch

[@WylochsArmory]

Good call

[@MichelletheMiniatureMisfit]

Awesome build and I'll have to watch again cos I was laughing 😂

[@zombie-phile]

Loved the build. What's the benefit of using sculptamold over spackle. I have used spackle in the past and never had a problem.

[@WylochsArmory]

Spackle tends to crack and shrink when it dries, moreso with thick applications like this

[@khristienpennanen1810]

I love these videos :)

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@26snoopy82]

Hey can you show how to make a flooded passage, a sludge farm, or a ventilation tunnel, or any of the terrain for Necromunda just cheaper than GW prices. I’m looking for ideas for those ideas. So when I get the game after the lockdown I can have cool terrain. For the ventilation tunnel I thought use a computer fan. They can cost $6.00 and up.

Hey Wyloch, it you get a chance try using the hot glue on wax paper for your lava effect. With a few layers it'll have dimension. I've seen this method a couple times, but most recently from Rybonator. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ6WfoOPicqHjcU
