The Games Workshop website challenged me to make as much as I could for a 40k Ruined City without spending a fortune! This is my first wargaming board build & it couldn't have been easier with limited skills.
All the building components are as below :
Artist Panels - artdiscount.co...
XPS Foam - www.ebay.co.uk...
Cake Columns - www.amazon.co....
Cork - www.ebay.co.uk...

Epic build! I'm thoroughly impressed with the boards! Templates and buildings are fantastic as well!.
Cheers! Still a lot to do but so far so good, I think
damn, thanks for the download :D
🤘
I'm not into Warhammer but I can use this for my gunpla diorama. Thank you for your guide.
Glad to help!
Great attitude, great channel. And much appreciated advice for a newbie.
All my experience with crafting is on UA-cam ... if I can do it anyone can! For some extra help www.wulvenkraft.com/downloads
The paper scaling solution is damn clever. I feel like a real fool buying one of those pricey matts now
Thank you! It also has the advantage that all the products are readily available! 🤣
I thought the test piece looks great , I would be happy to have it on my table :)
💪 much more testing to be done 🤣
Just bloody brilliant work on this. Looking at the designs, I do think the ruined church needs some interior ceiling or support pieces to make an vertical dangly bits a bit more stable. And after seeing a bunch from terrain crafters on UA-cam like MS_Paints, Wyloch armory & Eric's crafting workshop, I'd be really curious to see how you'd paint up the buildings in this.
And as someone from the US & working in the printing industry, the A paper sizing and the metric system too are just so simple & I wish it was something everyone would adopt just to make everything easier as the measurements systems here are just full on stupid. Definitely fixing that with a few other small things (by leaving notes in the past) when I get a hold of a time travel machine.😃
Thank you! I'm watch all three of those as well. So far the buildings have taken all they have had thrown at them but I do need to finish them & I have a plan in mind.
I worked in printing for a while too.
buagg great building!!! Is it made of polystyrene? To play 40k, do the platforms hold up well with the weight of the miniatures?
They are made with XPS but you could use anything, even cardboard.
Yes the Artist Panels will hold up, they are built as professional canvases, that's why I use them, saves a huge amount of time buying, cutting & building your own.
Any suggestions on easy apps to use to make templates like this? I've got some designs in mind...
I suppose paper and pen would work lol
Paper & pen is a great choice! That's how I did my original temps, then I scanned then into my PC. I am not sure about apps as I use ClipStudioPaint which is an industry standard alternative to Photoshop.
@@WulvenKraft thanks, that makes sense especially for one-off ideas.
I've always used GIMP as my photoshop alternative, but it's terrible for shapes.
@@nickrafuse984 As long as your paper temps are accurate enough. a window is all you need for tracing or development 🤣
@@WulvenKraft I've worked in IT for 10+ years now... for some reason, I rarely consider options that don't need a keyboard and mouse. but....
yeah, 100% that works, and is WAY easier than my instinctive plan
@@nickrafuse984 🤣 I come from now defunct age 🤣. When I trained as a 3D Designer computers were only just hitting Universities so I was trained in both. My attitude now is to stay as far away from a computer as possible 🤣
83mm aka 3 knuckles
well, 3 and a bit
You must have tiny hands 🤣
@@WulvenKraft I make up for it in other areas
@@samsowden 🤣
So what would you pay yourself for your time?
Not something I've ever thought about. I can say most of my time is spent designing rather than crafting. The crafting time is pretty quick once I've worked out what & how, it's also the most rewarding. That's why I share my design work, so people can get straight to the fun bit.
@@WulvenKraft it being fun to make things does bring the price way down
@@MahkyVmedia1In some cases that may true but for many of us that is a huge part of the hobby, its not always about claiming objectives, unless of course that is your hobby.
@@WulvenKraft it's my worker mentality.
@@MahkyVmedia1I get that. Crafting isn't work for me, it's how I relax & I don't sell the things I build. I either use them or donate them to Gaming Stores or to younger players (kids & schools).
"For Our American Friends" HAHAHA
Fr I would love to visit warhammer world but a flight from California to the uk is super expensive
I'm brand new to Warhammer 40k. And the biggest thing I've found enjoying was the hobby aspect. So it would be absolutely fucking ludicrous of me not to try to make my own terrain. This guide helps. Thank you!
I came back to the hobby after 25 years, terrain became a fascination. Every video on my channel is aimed at helping those who are either new or returning.
If you want really good natural terrain fish tank decor is a really cheap and pre painted alternative. You can but plants and trees by the dozens for less than 20 dollars. I have a whole 4x8 foot board that’s completely covered in foliage and perfect for games like star wars legion
My Tetras agree 🤣
A4?? How many football fields is that?
A4 x 106,666.6 recurring would equal FIFA's minimum standard pitch. Unless you mean American Football, which isn't Football 🤣
Apart for the amazing tutorial and the entertaining video you just gave me a lot of ideas for many personal projects mate, cheers!
I'm glad to have given you somme ideas, and thank you for the compliment!
You're actually a genius that canvas tip made me gasp.
Watch out for another video based on the same theory coming very soon 🤣
I swear you use to have a video on how you made boards, not just the terrain.
I have always used wooden canvas' of some variety for boards, far more convenient & often cheaper. That said I am looking at making some in the future based on the same principle of being able to hang them on a wall.
You gotta make a tutorial on how you did the skirmish boards! -an American friend
Haha A size paper is a must for those I'm afraid! Because I can scale A4 to A1 easily it's mainly about finding a geometric repeatable pattern, everything else is up to you. I do have another one planned so I'll make sure I record the full process.
Mooooooooooore😂
Great video, some really nice terrain.
@@squallgoku777 Thank you! If you want to use the templates they are paper version downloadable here www.wulvenkraft.com/city-ruins-templates
How long before the XPS lost its shape?
Still going strong & when fully finished will be even stronger.
210x297mm YES YES YES
What kind of machine are you using to cut your XPS foam, great video, easy to understand math and researching
I use a Proxxon. They are a little on the expensive side but they are well made & easy to maintain. There are plenty of cheaper versions that will do the same job & thank you!
@@WulvenKraft awesome thanks for the info, hard to get even lines doing it other ways
@@davistaylor8782 It can all be done with a really good blade & steel rule, but one of the advantages of using a Proxxon, aside from speed, is you can buy specific jigs made for it by @Shiftinglands
What was that tool you used to cut the foam?
It is a Proxxon Hot Wire ... you can get much cheaper versions or handheld ones that will do the job, but all you really need is a sharp blade, steel ruler & patience.
Source. Yeah, you know.
Like in Highlander?
It has been super cool, watching along as you've built these. Seeing the "finished" product, I'm very impressed. Epic project, done well. Good on ya'
Thank you Sir, much more to be done yet! But that's the challenge.
Incredible vidéo ans tutorial .May i ask you how did you do the line on the paper ?what were the measurment ? My street does not align 😂 and i dont lnow what to search for on google
Thank you! I didn't use any measurements, its based on geometry rather than cm's or inches. The way I worked it all out was folding the paper. It was folded in halves & the lines drawn to line up where the folds met each other.
Amazing thank you verry much i feel verry dumb i saw you fold it but my brain never made the link lol
@@redakumaproduction🤣nae bother! I do try to keep things as simple as possible, including not using measurements, although i do collect rules 🤣 Keep an eye out for my next few videos, one of them will be using the templates to build a Cathedral without any measuring, just the templates.
@@WulvenKraft verry nice !! I cant wait to see that !!
@@redakumaproductionWaiting on some post but it should be within my next two videos. The other will be a Fortress Monastery made out of rubbish & off cuts.
In America, we don't count with our knuckles as we need them to walk.
Instead we use "Freedom Units". One FU equals the diameter of two .50 bullets.
🤣 I shouldn't say what we use the for, UA-cam won't like me any more 🤣
AMAZING BUILD and beautiful edits as always! sorry I missed the opening party 😉😅
Don't ever apologise to me! There is absolutely no need Rig! And thank you Sir!
Hey! I demand to know where the roasted peanut stands are!
Now I want to take a broken down hot dog cart!
Fabulous build, and that Cathedral in particular. I've just started a city build [using templates from Miscast] so your excellent templates will be really useful. Thank you for sharing them. Also, the artists wood canvas is a genius idea for someone like me who's useless at woodworking. Subscribed )O( Just a quick edit to mention The Underfloor Heating Store. I get my XPS from them and it's free UK delivery. They do various sizes which is a big help.
Thank you! I do have another video I'm working on where I use the templates to build a more traditional Cathedral with no need for measuring anything.
Your work is fantastic. 😀
Very professional, intelligent, instructive and has gentle humour which is endearing. 👏 I wish you all the luck in the world with your channel. 😀🌈☘☘☘👏 Thanks
Too kind!
Just discovered your channel. You are Britain's answer to Black Magic Craft!
Excellent work and most inspirational :-)
Wow! I am honoured to be mentioned in the same vein as BMC!
Does anyone know where I can find a similar or the same XPS foam in canada? or atleast in the USA?
I'm almost certain Black Magic Craft is trying to sort out supplying crafters in Canada!
If not places like Lowe's sell it I believe.
got to have the tools first
Not true. The foam can be cut with a box cutter or Stanley blade & the flock can be made with a standard kitchen blender. The only real investment is time.
@@WulvenKraft I tend to switch back and forth between videos and saw a foam cutter. Though it's not really needed.
@@cyclone8974 I do a lot of crafting, not just for myself. I started with a knife & a ruler, just like everyone else, its all you need.
Good Idea!
i`ll try do fo my own version of this Challenge!
Hold on until next Sunday / Monday. New video on the same idea about to drop!
Glad I stumbled upon your channel. This is a great tutorial, and your templates are easy to follow. Keep it up 👍
I'm glad you stumbled across me too!
really nice , well done Sir :) Personally I like to have the baseboard ,in my case mat to be totally covered in cobbles. My Building are mounted of 1 foot square wood floor tiles, I live a inch all around as a pavement . This way when you lay out the buildings the cobble between them automatically become the roads thus giving you endless layout options.
I completely agree! The problem I have is I really don't like basing terrain as I feel it limits its possiblities, although I may have found a way around that. Plus I have a bee in my bonnet about creating art. If you can hang you may, then it should be something you'd be happy to hang, not just easy storage.
First! Also, this is absolutely amazing! Especially love how the gaming boards go together!
Cheers Ruud!
Absolutely amazing crafting! I love the layout and the buildings. 100% modular. And what a lot of work! But the result is perfect. Congratulations ! And thanks for share. Love your space marine assistant. 😂
Cheers Quim! Aye, it seems I'm a sucker for putting in the effort but so far so good! 🤣
The ruin at the beginning of the video looks amazing!!!!
Too kind!
I love the Canvas Idea. Did you need to reenforce the structure or just glue anything on the Canvas?
No reinforcements. But if you wanted to it would be very easy to add a cross brace into the underside.
I build it. Coverd with styrodur tiles and some sand... I love it. Briliant idea. The canvas came in pair of two so i might build a factory block with fixed terrain which still can be wall mounted@@WulvenKraft
@@neorack Excellent!
I really really appreciate your knuckles translation. Not a lot of people know a knuckle is an inch. I like you. Subbed.
🤣 the way humans measure things is fascinating. How we divided the earth into 40 to develop the metric system in mental, but mathematically outstanding. Then now that relates to ancient Egypt who used another for of measurement is utterly mind blowing.
Weird side note, I actually collect measuring devices 🤣
Awesome work mate. I am working on a similar project. Loved it 👍.
I think since posting I've now got another couple planed 🤣
@@WulvenKraft hahaha nice ...it never ends 😉👍
@@alrethianscraftsbattles I hope not! 🤣
@@WulvenKraft 🤣
love your stuff bro really great stuff
Too kind Sir!
Really cool.
Much appreciated!
how did you make the floor?
Do you mean the wooden panels? If so I didn't, they are Artists Wooden Canvas'. Readily available, cheap & make the process easier & quicker.
If you mean the stone work & roads, it's just cut foam & very thin cork sheets.
@@WulvenKraft i meam the brick tiles
@@sheolmtv9877 Just cut XPS foam, then shake them about in a tub full of stones to texture them.
Why do the end of your vids cut off like they do?
I'm not overly keen on the whole 'glamour shots ending' as you've been watching build through the video & they about the build not the painting. I also find ending the videos difficult verbally as I'm not comfortable with the whole like share subscribe routine. Plus the way that UA-cam operates with the suggested video at the end from a editing point of view, I don't like just leaving the last frame hanging around for 15-20 seconds, as a viewer I find that lazy & because we can choose the timing that those appear I try & time it so they pop up as my video cuts. Then there are also retention issues, another reason I'm not keen on glamour shots. The moment a viewer knows the video is ending they leave & often don't see the end screens so don't see related videos. My videos that cut tend to have better CTR rates on end screens.
@@WulvenKraft It's extreamly abrupt the way the vids end though. Abruptly and jagged actually.
@@Boonedale Maybe, but it is worth knowing your are talking about a video from a year ago & all the experience I have editing is on UA-cam. 16 Videos isn't many & I am learning with every one.
@@WulvenKraft Sounds good.
This is shot so well!
Thank you Sir, I work hard at editing my videos as all the experience I have is on UA-cam 🤣
ooh really nice. Great work.
Cheers, I have more of these kind of boards planned 🤣
Excellent, can’t wait to see them.
Downloads did work
Glad to hear it!
@@WulvenKraft sorry. I meant to say they didn't work. Could not open them.
@@MrVlandus There are 16 files so they are in a .rar. I use WinRAR but there are plenty of options. www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-open-rar-files/
@@WulvenKraft hey thank you. I will try again later to open them.
@@MrVlandus You are very welcome! Thanks for reaching out & I hope you enjoy your build.
You’re clowning on us for a system y’all made.
If memory serves the USA declared Independence in 1776. Interestingly, the first Declaration of Independence was written by a Scot, but that's irrelevant at this point. The first reference to ISO 216 was in writing by a man named George Christoph Litchenberg in 1786, a deceivingly non Scottish name, relevant. He was a German. It is now an international standard across the globe except North America. I guess you didn't get the email, but you are usually behind the curve. 🤣 Everything I just wrote is a lie 🤣
a paper weight is about all current day DC books are good for
Not just DC!
