I can't wait to play some games on this table, it'll be featuring in 40k games soon! If you enjoyed the video and want to support the channel, check out www.patreon.com/broadswordwargaming

Is your channel a joke about the Heroquest advert lol?
btw, for 7:30 I would reccomend listening to an audiobook or podcast while doing boring stuff like that
And? Have you played on the board 8 months later by now?
It's almost therapeutic watching it all come together, can't wait for those battle reports!
Glad you liked it, its always good to send people to sleep 🤣. I played a game of 40k on it yesterday, should look good 👍
@B B depends if you have a front row seat or not.
That was some real patience putting those cobblestone pieces on lol. Hats off to ya.
10:01 That's what she said!
🤣🤣 The first person to mention it. Hats off 👏 I did say a few things like that, but you have to be subtle.😂
I literally JUST ordered some terrain from TTS a few hours ago! So glad to see how amazing it looks! Great video!
Oh great, let me know what you think when you get it. I think it might be the best wooden terrain I've worked with. 😀
Ruined city terrain is my favorite kind to make for 40k. And yours looks amazing.
That board looks great! What a wonderful process of trial and error. It was great to watch your whole process. Very inspiring to the rest of us!
Thanks so much. I spent alot of time trying things out and measuring stuff.. but it came together in the end! 😀
Those buildings are fantastic!
"yes; ive got wood" that caught me so off guard - legitimate lols
Ha, sometimes they're too obvious NOT to put in. 👌
Another great video. Very chill vibe which I appreciate. I've been looking at making a board at some point and your videos of the trench build and this have given me some ideas. I don't even play that much at the moment but it would be a great place for taking pictures of my Blood Angels army.
Thanks! Yeah, I thought the music was quite relaxing on this one 😀
Try and get a £1 shop picture frame and make it into a display base.. theyre perfect for shooting models on 😀 Then, when you feel more confident, upscale it to a board.
I never get time to play either haha, I just love models. 🤣
It looks great! The board has the look of utter desolation and abandonment to it. The sandy areas are very effective looking and show how the desert is slowly creeping into the city. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you very much! 😀
Simple but great build! Also very easy to add more detail for those who feel it needs it. Earned my subscription to the channel :)
Thanks, your support is appreciated 😀
very nice board sir
Thanks buddy 😀
Really good board. Buildings and rubble look great
Im watching this in hopes to get some inspirations on how I should layout my post apocalyptic terrains cause I just started making a building with foam and plan to make more to make the entire table top
Awesome job my friend always doing such a good job. I really like how the boards came out
Thank you 😀 Yeah, I was pretty happy with this one in the end. There are always decisions to make along the way.. you never quite know how they'll look until you've done them. 😅
Fantastic video Ollie , I do love it when you do a board build and it's perfect for both gaming systems.
Thanks man! Yeah, it'll be great for killteam and 40k. 😀 2 for 1 value deal.
@@BroadswordWargaming the beard of knowledge best dust down his ad-mech then 😂
Looks really good. This is the first time I've seen those Kromlech ruins in the context of a gaming table, they look much better IMO than similar products from other companies. Those scattered piles of rubble really help make the board as well.
Thanks so much! 😀 Yeah, I was really impressed with the buildings, they're sturdier and more detailed than others too. Id recommend.
Looks great! Fun vid to watch and listen to while painting!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 😀
This is Amazing! I’m looking to do something along these lines for Titanicus
Excellent board, really enjoyed watching it get made, also hope you're enjoying Ireland!
Thanks mate! Yeah, it's alright over here, windy and cold, but very chilled.
This will probably get lost in the comments, but I just have to say, recently stumbled across Broadsword Wargaming and just wow, what a channel! You're a brilliant presenter, host and make amazing videos with brilliant production quality!
You've inspired me to make a Grey Knights Kill Team and I'd love to see you play some more games with them hopefully!
Thanks so much for the kind comment! 😀 Hopefully the channel gets some traction and support, then Ill be able to spend more time on it.
Grey knights are my favourite killteam.. they'll be back. 😀 Covid just put a stopper in the battle reports, but I can start again soon. Huraaah
@@BroadswordWargaming I very much look forward to it! And to being here when you hit 100K subs
Very nice. Love it
That's an amazing board.
Inspirational!
Ah thanks so much, glad you liked it. Now go and give it a go yourself. If I can do it, anyone can 😀
Those mdf buildings look cool, looks like they could be fun to mod and make foldable
They are really good. 😀 Interesting idea, I've seen a few people talk about folding buildings, it sounds pretty cool.
I'm building a modular post apocalyptic board almost the same size (mine is a bit smaller than yours) and you gave me some great ideas. Excellent build thank you
Sounds awesome! Get stuck in, make a mess and enjoy it. 😀
"mine is a bit smaller than yours". That's what he said!
Some really awesome stuff here that I would like to try out. I loved the idea of putting on sand, then then spraying it with pva for weeks, also love how you applied your plaster rubble. I will try to do something similar, but not the same.
Glad you found it useful 😀 Give it a go, its not as hard as it seems. Just keep throwing stuff on the board until it looks good 🤣
@@BroadswordWargaming well, then its no different from my tutorial 🤣
Yes mate!! Cork roll roads, that's genius!!!
"I spray, with grey, from quite a distant away"
When’s the album dropping man?
Awesome build. Can really see the Luke influence here, looks like an actual rubbled city. Awesome stuff.
Yeah, Luke is a good friend and has been in the phone at various times during this build 😅
Hopefully I'll start to do more intricate stuff as I get more confident with boards. 🙂
And yes, that is the name of my 2004 emo album. 🤣
Man that turned out class
Thanks buddy 😀
awesome video mate, I'm just getting back into wargaming and have a bunch of Imperial Guard minis I want to paint up in a Judge Dredd style - a ruined city like this would be perfect. I even have a few blocks of wood I could use for a future table project
that's beautiful
Really nice video and board! I could definitely watch more tutorials like this.
Thankyou! Well, you're in for a treat because I've got more lined up. 😀 lava, jungle or snow hmm? 🤔
@@BroadswordWargaming Sounds exciting! How about desert, although this one had bit of that going on already.
Looking sick!
Thanks man!
Well Oliver from my perspective, a post nuclear holocaust type area would not have greenery of any kind but instead dried brownish grey miniature foliage and ideally the buildings would be blackened to a degree due to heat transfer . But maybe this is going overboard and you want to keep things relatively simple?
Hi, I was referring to the feel of the board, more so than the features. 😀 In reality, it has a really dusty desaturated look to it.. but i understand what you're saying. Thats why I covered all of the green up, the soil and grass didn't really fit the theme.
Very nice. If it had been me, I’d have done patches and sections of snow/slush instead of the sand/grass as it would provide more contrast with all the grey. But it looks really good!
Hey! Yeah, I was VERY tempted to go the snow route, it was actually the initial plan. I'm pretty happy with the finish though, the sand looks good and it has a dusty and dry feel.
I also wanted to keep it relatively neutral as it'll be used for battle reports, ao anything too strong makes them a little less usable. 😀
looks awesome - I'm going to take inspiration for WW2 board
Thanks man! Yeah, do it. 😀 I did a trench one if you havent already seen it.. that might help.
One of the things you could do is spread some green into the middle to indicate weeds growing in the rubble of the buildings.
The board looks great the only thing I would add is some bone white or khaki dry brushing to blend the grey in with the sand color
I was tempted to give it a very thinned down black wash, but it added too much contrast. The grey areas have some white, khaki and brown on, just through a rattle can. I could dry brush it, and may fiddle with it over time. 😀
Very cool
Really Amazing!
Thank you so much! More to come 😀
Looks great! Dread to think how much PVA is in there 🤣 can’t wait to see it in use :D
Haha, I know, I think its at least 2 litres 😅
Thats really good that pal!
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.
It looks great! I think my kids would find a way to demolish it though lol
Looks really cool. Perfect for Fallout Wasteland!
I hadn't thought about that.. id love to get some fallout stuff, the models look awesome!
Its really cool board I wish I could play on it :)
Those deathwatch are going to look pretty nice on here! If you ever fancy a trip out to Ireland, you're more than welcome. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming when Corona is over I will!
Nice, but I think you should have streatched the sand part a little more toward the inside of the board. I would have blended it together a little better as would have some rubbles in the sandy area. Do not misunderstand me, it is a great board, but it would have made it better and less monochrome. I love the "orchard" area, a very nice touch.
The part that I struggle with is creating modular re-configurable terrain. This style does look better than typical scatter terrain, but it is static. I think the happy medium is to be able to change the upper-levels of the buildings in some way. Either way, this does look good and should have enough terrain for some games.
One thing that I think would be worth considering for this build is where you see in some post-apocalyptic artwork the world reclaiming abandoned cities. You could add in a few places things like vines growing up the side of a few buildings. it will enable you to break up the grey colour in a few places as well.
It's always a toss up between replayability and looks isn't it. I will do a more agnostic style board at some point, with based terrain.
I dont play many games and do enjoy the board builds, so thought bugger it, let's make it look like an old wasteland.
Lots of details can be added on for flavour, like you say.😀
Really like the board and am continuing to enjoy your videos. you have a great mix of content, video'graphy and entertainment. thanks.
Thanks so much, I appreciate the support! 😀 I'll keep doing my best.
12:42 "I see some rubble and I want to paint it black, no colours anymore I want it to turn black!"
🤣
Thank you , BW.
Nice job , Oli' .
Rockin
Thanks so much! Love your stuff, hope the youtube is going well for you. 😀
Thanks
You're welcome. 😀
Fantastic looking board! Really like your stuff on UA-cam keep it up! :)
More of a Warhammer fantasy fan do you plan to do any stuff with that? Cool if not but would be awesome to see some battle reports or terrain for WFB
Im glad you've been enjoying it! 😀
I am a huuuuge fantasy fan, more so than 40k.. my Empire have been sat in a box for too long. Ill be doing some AoS and Kings of War at some point. 😀 I'd love to get some Mordheim on.. if the channel grows and I get enough support to get some editing help, I might be able to. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming oh wow that's awesome! I've been out of the hobby for 15 years and just got into it during lockdown to discover it's been canned! Have started collecting vampire counts but don't know a single person I. Sheffield to play with yet! It's great to hear about other people on here that are still into it! :)
I'd highly recommend a few black/brown/green washes to add some tonality. Just mix craft paint with a ton of water and slap it on heavy and random.
Hey, I did think about it it. I have the paints here and had them in hand, ready to go.. but changed my mind. I've ended up with a desaturated/dry/dusty look thst im actually pretty happy with. Feels like I've got enough colour from the spray cans at the moment. But you're bang on, I was ready to pull the trigger.
Looks great !
I think if you added some washes it would take it up another level still.
It seems like something you could always keep adding to as you feel , pipes with dripping water, flashing electric fires.
Bang on!. And thank you 😀 I havent done much more to it, but would love to add some posters and internal building debris. Maybe.. 😅 I should but its hard to revisit old projects. I do have some good scatter terrain. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming that makes sense, it’s great though, the home made modge podge makes the buildings look way more rear, hard to believe they are made of wood
7:07 Five cubes in and it already starts to go tits up - fully understandable to feel like giving up!
Haha 😄 yeah, it was a real pain, but worth it in the end. I actually got faster and developed a better technique.. it was just really boring 😅
Righteous
The rebar looks crazy fragile. They look so nice. I also love the train track idea.
Thanks! I've been trying with train tracks for a while and thought it was about time I did. 😀 The rebar is actually pretty resilient, the wood is quite sturdy.. plus its just a facing, so it has good support behind it.
@@BroadswordWargaming once I finally get around to building and painting my white Scar crusade army, I might dip my toe in to making a board.
amazing build!! does anyone know what scale that train track is? i really want to get a small amount for my board!
You still with the Bangin' Red-Haired Chica? hhahah No Harm Mate! Just askin'. Awesome video.
Looks great. Instead of the cheap auto paint to cover everything black another option would be one can of graffiti/artist spray cans like Montana Black with a Fat Cap (pink) nozzle. Think those cans are about €6 in Easons.
Good thinking! I'll pop in and see what theyve got. 😀
Dude that camera save hahahahahahahaha
Haha. Yeah. It was a close one. Standing a monopod up, against a table. 😅
@@BroadswordWargaming mental haha
In the miniature you look like a depressed Elijah Wood.
Ill take that.. not the worst thing I've been called 😅
“Warhammer 40k and Killt-“ something went weird there haha!
You made me double check in panic then 🤣 Sounds alright to me, I think I just don't say killteaMMMMM haha
Kilt Eam; its the name game about brawling Highland Scotts.
Just finished the video, if you are storing the terrain in the shed/garage/barn then if you put them in a plastic storage tub, one of the huge ones from B and Q put silicon beads in bags in the container too and you should get no mold. You could also mix a little Ronseal Mold killer with the pva?
PVA and Superglue mix really well if you want to make some gnarly, horrible, Nurgle-ish textures.
Haha, I did learn that along the way 😅
@@BroadswordWargaming The real Magic is the mess we make along the way ;)
Dude looks like the third Winchester Brother
I know I’m WAY late, but what gauge track did you use? Great build!!!
Sweet, you can send this to me now
This looks awesome for a WW2 game or something, feels a BIT off for 40k with the forest! LOL
So for a great quality street ... add some sand ! ^^
For that extra crunchy, sandy taste.
Representing the Irish Hobbyists Oliver!
Any advice for a fellow islander on what good paint stripping products there are available to us?
Ah nice, where abouts are you? I'm a foreigner, but settling in nicely.
As for stripping, I actually used to have a shot blast cabinet, but that's in the uk. I recently stripped some models using biostrip 20, it did a great job and is pretty easy to use. Highly recommend.
If its a lot of models, check out re-new models on Facebook. 😀
Also, cut offs from plastic sprues work well as cobblestones.
Yeah, they'd do the job. A bit more effort cutting them, but stronger and more sturdy. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming very true. Better used for a base rather than a board. 😂
Very inspiring!!! what is the isopropyl alcohol exactly for?
Thanks! :) The iso breaks the surface tension and allows the watered down PVA to soak deep into the ground covers, so it sets harder.
@@BroadswordWargaming awesome, should have guessed, thanks!
I’ve been hoarding these long strips of plastic that the components we order in work are packaged in because i thought they’d be perfect for making terrain with.
Issue is i’ve never made terrain before. Got any tips for a first-timer looking to make some ruined buildings from scratch?
The great thing about ruined buildings is how hard they are to mess up. They're meant to look destroyed and shabby, so just go with whatever you think looks good. You can always add or remove bits later, so don't worry about getting it wrong.
How do you store terrain of that size? Boards are one thing but with attached buildings must make it extra tricky.
Looks great! How are you playing the terrain in 9th? There seems to be enough to be obscuring ruins, but where does the area terrain start?
I'm curious because 9th terrain ruleset seems to be very tournament friendly, but doesn't really work well with this kind of supercool custom terrain.
Yeah, the new rules are really good for tournaments, can't wait to play some!
I've had a few games on this now and its working alright. Using the rubble as -2 movement while the building are breachable, -1 to hit if you're in them and +1 attack/+1 to hit with overwatch. Seems to be pretty fair so far, you just have to pick a mission where the objectives fit.. That's something I'll have to consider for the next one. 😃
@@BroadswordWargaming cool. How do you define if someone is "in the ruin"? Did you give it obscuring -keyword?
What scale are the train tracks you used and do the train cars of that size work with Warhammer figures?
I think these are "O" gauge. The tracks look good, but any of the people carrying carriages are definitely too small. I got away with a few of them because there is nothing to compate them against (doors, seats etc). 😀
At 9:13, what is the material he used please ? Same for 10:50. I am french, hard to understand. Btw thanks for the really good tutorial
Hey! Yes, thats the same stuff. At 9.13 I poured casting plaster in, then at 10.50, it had set. 😀
Maybe adding colour to your rubble whilst you made it would of been less tedious
those extra bits would have been perfect for a brick road
Yeah, they're great.. don't think I'd have the patience to glue 3 million bricks though, doing the sides nearly killed me 🤣
Use salt in your mix it will stop mould from growing
Interesting idea 🤔. I'd have to see if I could cling it into the mix somehow. Fortunately, I've moved studio now, so the problem isn't as prevalent. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming dissolve salt in the water that you mix with you pva glue
Good idea! 💡
"yes, I've got wood"... well, that's good news, mate! Ciara will be happy ;-) hahaha
😅
How much compound did you get through on this project? I have a board build in mind but have no idea how far a bag goes.
I used about 2 bags 😊. I wasn't particularly heavy handed with this one though.
You may need to adjust your audio......really quiet compared to others... Great video other than that!!!
9:47 plasting caster, eh?
Get yourself an industrial heater.
11:55 Isn't that plaster going to add a LOT of weight? What about Storage? Where you going to put it if you don't have Miles; of Space? Shoulda done each building alone by it's self, ..and just Left it Blank and Modular. ROADS are a Given' between the Buildings! Up tp you Man. Cheers
It isn’t just me that has no idea wat warhammer is but instead used this for Eva figure terrain?
9:15 - So it's just "Plaster of Paris" mixed heavily with water?
Yeah, thats it!😀
Man, you look so worried in the thumbnail
It's OK, I'm not. 😀
Hi, i am browsing Tabletop scenics but i cannot find these ruins which you are using.
bitsofwar.com/152-gaming-series
Middle and lower half of the page. Does it work?
@Grubnar has it bang on.. its the Gothic terrian, on the second page. 😀
Like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm
The algorithm appreciates, and so do I. 😀
First video I've seen of yours the production quality is good but your audio is quiet and you need to step back from the camera
Thanks! 😀 Audio is always a fine line between quality and volume, but I quite like the framing of the shots. Personal preference I suppose.
I really like the diagonal look of this board. the straight road boards look so boring
Thanks so much! I felt the same way. 😀 It took a little longer to make it all line up, especially over the join, but I'm really pleased with the finsih! 😀
Could do with a wash, a drybrushing, graffiti, street lamps and mini posters imo.
why did you use gloss spray cans on the MDF and board?
I'd have used matt if I could have found it, but once I've smashed it with varnish and other sprays, it makes very little difference. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming haha. I thought may have been for some other reason! Liking the videos only new to the channel!
How old was that Quality street chocolates.
Haha, people notice the weirdest things. Think I've used that as my bits box since the 90s. 🤣🤣
1:23 It's not the recommended size, its the new minimum. I have no idea why everyone thinks that's how its supposed to be now, they literally just lowered the minimum.
Pass me some water cuz it just got SALTY!
