"That can't possibly cost less than $3!"... I worked out the actual cost of all paints and materials used, and it came out to £2.09. Less than $3 USD.
Is there any way you could link the larger brushes that you used in this video? I've been looking for some cheap brushes that wont matter if they are ruined by glue and basing materials
right so how much is it to buy the thing that the styrofoam protects?
If you already have the paints and brushes, and the Styrofoam. Still cool tho.
I doubt you can do that in Denmark. Everything's so damn expensive here.
Awesome keep up the good work!!!!😃👍
I’m mad I didn’t think of the flour thing....
i use plaster of paris. Aint waisting flour in the pandemic.. i need ma bread!!!!
Do it like a Baker i 200 years ago. Put that plaster of Paris in the bread. And Flour on the walls
No one uses spaghetti like you. There were some missed rebar opportunities.
Wouldnt gypsum powder or some tile grout give you the same effect without having to worry about spoilage?
@@Vorpal_Wit well I've done those things. I've used grout lots....but then tons of people go "wHaT iS gRoUt" so being able to do a technique almost everyone on earth knows and has access to is pretty great.
I can’t even think about styrofoam without hearing it and it puts my teeth on edge
Bet you're glad I muted all the camera audio in the cutting bit ;)
God damn it I can't get it out of my head now.
AHHHHHHH!!!
Same! Now though I’m hearing it and feel icky
It makes me clench my bum!!
“When you’ve pretended to be an adult for as long as we have” I feel attacked! 😂😂😂
@Klausbärbel Fömm Indeed
But also validated
Kids get all the cool toys and money.
Adults get all the boring jobs and poverty.
I'm staying a kid. Go against the grain.
Lols :)
I’m gonna buy a microwave just for the polystyrene
Also the part with the nails is actually genius I’ve gotta check out black magic craft
BMC is the MVP of our hobby
@@MidwinterMinis Luke's APS, Terrain Tutor, and Wyloch are all pretty great too
Hello honourable battle brother
Y’all are leaving out Bard’s Craft! Peasant level terrain and oat’s lovers unite
@@03dashk64 I'm not as familiar with Bard's Craft, but it seems like he only does Fantasy terrain
“I can hear Duncan crying from here” 🤣😂 brilliant haha
Fun fact: Lahmium Medium is actually just Duncan's tears.
Midwinter Minis Haha makes total sense now!
Midwinter Minis i love that you take time out of your day to write replies. Thank you.
Midwinter Minis Ah that’s why it tastes so salty
For these quotes I love the videos^^
I rember doing this years ago before I knew about how to actually paint and weather terrain and just got polystyrene everywhere! Thanks for recognising this important part of the hobby - reusing old sh*te as buildings! And of course the end result is fantastic.
"reusing old sh*te as buildings" was the alternative title of this video ;)
@@MidwinterMinis hehe you should have gone with it mate, that's classic clickbait right there ;)
>If you're already in the hobby you probably have everything!
>Be in the hobby already
>Check pantry: instant foods, no flour...
I can't believe I have to go out and buy flour x_x
There are 2 optional steps to elevate this already great idea. 1. Glue a bit of sand onto the bigger sections of damage. This will work nicely with the lumpy foam to simulate a nice concrete texture. 2. A touch of thinned green paint along the bottom edge to give some moss/mold/lichen effect.
Holy shit it's him
I’m just getting into warhammer so this kind of thing is super helpful!
It's an awesome hobby! I've been working on improving my painting and terrain building and this discovery is HUGE!!!
Good luck! :)
@@MidwinterMinis i'm thinking, of using this method for a DnD-Board.
Would you recommend styrofoam for that?
How is it going for you?
"Use two thick coats"
Duncan : "Why have you forsaken meeeeeeeeeeeee"
HERESY!
"Thin your paints before I thin your ranks into one thick coat of blood for the blood god"
-Duncan Rhodes probably
We in the Netherlands call it "piepschuim". Which means 'beep-foam'.
On point name
STYROPOR!
Squeak-foam... Good name

"Last chance to evacuate planet earth-"
Did you mean: *Holy Terra*
"Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled" is the name of one of the last propaganda VHS tapes the Heaven's Gate cult produced before offing themselves. Cursed.
I think in this case it *might* be that material but more indirectly, perhaps via Porcupine Tree?
You can skip the salt if you use plaster of paris instead of flour. It's the same ratios and it's what model railroaders use to make quick rocks and mountains.
You want to know what the best thing for rebar is?
Guitar strings.
Any music repair shop or guitarist will have piles of it available on occasion, and it adds a nice bit of texture.
It also works great for pinning on bigger pieces. The texture on it helps give a really solid hold.
The “secret technique to make it nice and hard” is something I never would have thought of, very well done.
The first time I used this stuff I ended up melting it. Turns out that can work to make it look like warp touched terrain, like the walls are turning into organisms
As the wholesome being that is broxh once said: we don't make mistakes, we make adjustments
I like the way the warpy idea you're proposing.
Also, fun fact! If you spray from a further distance away, then the propellants of the spray can won't warp the foam! Dope trick from Black Magic Craft
Handy trick. For an Alien style cocoon use plastic bags and a heat gun. You might have to experiment a bit to get it right but the effect is awesome.
TIP: for the areas that still have that "bubble-circle" look after the flour-paint, brush in PVA glue and dust with the fine sand/dirt you can easily find where you park your car (seriously this crap is even in city parking; check the corners near the curb lol). Let that dry. paint over it, and now it covers the circles and gives it that "eroding concrete" look you see on old bunkers or non-maintained side-walks. :) Hope this helps!
Or tile grout, has the added advantage of being an adhesive itself so adds to the overall strength.
@@robsimonis485 yes very true! I just figured everyone would already have some cheap white/PVA glue on hand :)
Just don't breathe too much of that dust in when you're collecting it.
I've been sat on a gold mine of polystyrene for the longest time... MY TIME HAS COME!!!
when they started cutting it, i shivered just by thinlking of the horrible sound it would make
Same. I can’t stand styrophome. I can’t stand it when I’m even around it, the look of it makes me squeamish
I love Penny's little comments, I'm glad you can both enjoy the hobby and these look fantastic. I feel like I'd add extra salt so they don't get nasty lol.
Isopropyl alcohol in the mix might help kill bacteria.
I know how it sounds, but yeah i learned this in the 90’s: vasilene on the lamet of the knife makes any styrofoam cuts real smooth! 😇
Do you think you’d be open to painting some t’au? I find the models really interesting and I would love to see your approach and what colour scheme you would use!
Ew
Ya I love the tau because of there look (as controversial as that is) and think that would be sick
He does have a box of Tau somewhere, and he did paint his Eldar recently. So here’s to hoping for you.
I've got the Start Collecting box ready to go!
Stupid tau
I love the "They Live" reference!
One of my favorite movies ever
4:38 Goth Cake Batter is my imaginary garage band name
I made an Escher gang with that name. I also made a Goliath gang named Two Thick Coats.
You should do a speed paint for that tau start collecting in an interesting color scheme
Lots of people asking for Tau! I might just have to make it happen...
Just imagine... painted TAU on the channel before Space Marines!! Madness
I totally agree
@@MidwinterMinis do you think you'll ever look at Age of Sigmar in the near future?
@@MidwinterMinis Yesss, let the Greater Good flow through you.
Omg I just got my first boxes of know no fear and first strike with a friend and this is such a great video for beginners in need of terrain! Thanks a lot! :)
I’ve made terrain out of LEGO, because I mean they make pretty good walls.
Klausbärbel Fömm well they already had chew marks on them so nothing.
LunarBro N/A Njom Njom Njom
I’d imagine you already had the legos, because if you bought the legos just to be terrain you be better off buying the terrain given how pricey legos get.
I knew it was you (Penny) placing admin posters , because Guy does not wear Rings - see so now your secret is out!! Cheers Guy and Penny.
“They’re even easy enough for kids” Penny:” that’s why I was allowed “ lmao 😂
I never would have fought of that, it looks really good
Wait, this isnt Miscast
... or ISN'T it?
Hahaha love miscast terrain
I'll never understand why anyone would thumbs down a great tutorial video such as this.
Helpful tip, don't try to attempt this on public transport. The little old lady next to me is rubbish with a paintbrush.
So I usually dont bother with these kind of "quick and cheap" terrain videos because I find either I need to go out and buy some stuff or the end result just isn't all that great.
You guys just bucked the trend with this. Very, very cool mix of good ideas with a end result that is legit tabletop worthy.
Good shit!
Penny adds that bob Ross meets deadpool commentary I desperately need lol great video as always
Oh, I'm so glad you said "vacuum cleaner", I find it horrifically irritating when people say "hoover"........
I thought it was a dust buster
@Klausbärbel Fömm
Hey buddy you want a Coke?
Sure!
*Hands over sasparilla*
wtf is this?!
we call em dust suckers
@@hellsonion514 Ah yes, the American Deep South is a dangerous place.
9:22 Jeff the tyranid strikes back
JEFF LIVES!
The amount of tricks in this video for foam is astounding!
need m0ar Penny commentary. "Goth cake batter." Absolute gold.
My very first game was played on a piece of plywood on saw horses while using scrap blocks of wood for terrain. Unpainted models, and my little 4 star dragon ball collectable as the only capture point. Good times!
Hurrah! Penny lives!
*STOMP STOMP*
Salt also adds extra flavor to that delicious paint
Super happy to be supporting my favorite 40K hobby channel on Patreon now! Keep up the awesome content guys :)
Red sky at night Shepard's delight, red sky at morning EXTERMIMATIS! 😂😂
Did I see a porcupine tree reference in the graffiti?
This is probably the best, most comprehensive tutorial for styrofoam-terrain I've ever seen. Nice!
"Last chance to evacuate Earth before it is recycled" -- awesomely low-key "Heaven's Gate" reference. Great video!
Back in the day, I built tons of terrain for pennies - polystyrene is the god of terrain. It's a cruel world.
Love your content, wondering if your gonna do a speed painting for the indomitus?
Ooo, I think we might have a few plans when we eventually get our hands on it ;)
This was rolled gold. Thank you so much guys, I have a great weekend project. I feel really inspired.
Just wow!!! I can't believe how awesome this turned out!
Nice Defuser Guy! 😂
Midwinter Minis HQ smells of pine and vetiver.
... and dog.
'Pretending to be an adult for as long as we have' LMAO, think everyone can relate to that xD
“if you’re a hoarder like me” you say as i sheepishly glance at the junk drawers overflowing with my foam scrap and mismatched hardware. Good thing you two are obviously the sweetest people and won’t judge me for it.
This is totally awesome,i've just got a load of compressed styrafome from work,to be used for walls an such your video has opened my eyes to a loooooaaaad of possibillities.Thank you.
"Last chance to evacuate planet earth before it is RECYCLED!"
Prog deep cut!
always after watching 1 of your tutorials i see terrian stuff everywhere :P
That is awesome. Thank you for having these creative videos, it will stop a lot of this plastic from polluting the environment. Keep up the good work.
I'm about a week away from getting my first minis and this is a huge motivation to get crafting and messing about with paints.
Thank you Midwinter!! I finally have a use for the styrofoam that was sitting in my cupboard.
Your flourpaste is called "Trolldeig" in Norwegian.
Only it's made into figures, baked a long time in the oven so it dries out 100%, then painted and hung on the wall.
It's best for shaping and making fat Women, it seems.
Trollbatter
Hey Penny & Guy, is that "THEY LIVE!" a nod to the late 1980's John Carpenter's movie?
Also on one of your older terra videos did I see "KMFDM" tagged on a wall?
Find an appliance store and ask (do not take, ask) if you can have some packaging from the bin they are sure to have out the back. Here in Australia I went to a store called The Good Guys and when I went to the loading dock to pickup the new washer, there was a huge bin full of styrofoam. "Can I have some of this?" I asked. "You can have as much as you want, mate," was the reply. Oh and if you want more texture, add sand to the flour/water/glue/salt mix.
For years I tried different coatings... So simple yet so bloody effective! Superb work guys 😎
Others: “You can show rebar by using toothpicks.”
Me: “How about I paint paperclips with metallic colors, that way I can bend it?”
Or level up and use bits of guitar strings...
@@BullScrapPracEff would guitar strings be sturdy enough?
@@colinschoenwald5025 stronger than toothpicks, man.
@@BullScrapPracEff but can it hold straight is what im saying
@@colinschoenwald5025 yeah mate, use a thicker wire. Base wire gets pretty hefty.

Love you guys, chill dudes with some appropriately nerdy stuff... Love it!!
With my local game store looking like they're never opening back up for gaming, this video is super helpful/appreciated! Just began the quest for making terrain/having a home setup for the group, and the cheaper the better. :)
You probbely don’t temper but you replied to me (al my friends are heinous
Buddy-K Studio what dose heineous
I meant jeles
Buddy-K Studio we aint
This is hands-down the most confusing comment thread I've ever read 😅
When you've pretended you're an adult ! ...best comment ever !
Great tutorial and I love the dynamic of you two, the small jokes make it very fun to watch .
Papier-mâché without the paper was the eureka I needed to solve my problem of wanting to make foam look not like foam for terrain. Thank you!

Don't cut towards yourself please, any slip and the blade is going at you!
You and the Missus did a great job on the video, this has great ideas for both warhammer 40k and D&D terrain.
These look so excellent. I've not built any terrain before and this looks like the perfect jumping off point. Thank you!
Was just talking about this with my warhammer fiends about getting some terrain set up. Thank you for the quick and easy video
Did this with some pieces a while ago, outstanding results. Going to do it again with some new pieces.
I started your Tutorial and I’m already liking the idea in person
I am amazed at how simple these walls are to make with how awesome they look!
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Putting the screws into the polystyrene is a revaluation. I knew is was saving for something. Thanks again.
Looks amazing! Great job Guy & Penny. :)
I've been doing terrain since 2009 and this idea of Flour wow! CHEFS KISS 👌😚 I really appreciate that you 2 shared that information. Thank You and have a lovely day MW 👋😊
Wow this is so creative ive been wanting to get into the hobby for a while now but i always thought it would be too expensive, seeing how creative you can get with this is really inspiring to see especially when it saves some money too.
Awesome video!!! Glad to hear you guys are doing well enough to do UA-cam full time! Hope your family is doing well too! Cheers!
Thanks for this lovely video. I will do this when i'm done with my orc army.
Wow!!! That flour technique is awesome!!
Just did this craft with my 4yr this past weekend. The goop was everywhere, but it was still a ton of fun!
Looks fantastic. And so simple to do.
Just saw the heaven’s gate / Porcupine Tree graffiti at the end. Love it.
Oh man that old cassette case brings back some memories!
Omg I was waiting for this all week :D
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm trying it out now.
Wow, this looks way better than I first expected!
This is great! Will definitely be doing.
Saving this video for future use. Many thanks!
That flour, salt, water, paint, and pva glue trick is amazing.
Just gave the mixture a shot, and it's wonderful! Will be using this a lot in the future.
Result looks stunning! Wow guys! Thanks for sharing technique :) I will need to try this out.
LOVE YOUR VIDS AND YOU PHRASOLOGY IS AMAZING ! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. sorry for screaming that i got carried away.
