Tabletop historical wargaming has been doing these wheat fields for ages. They also use faux fur as well. D&D crafters can look to the historical wargame and model railroading scene for lots of pro-tips as there is a ton of experience on that side that gets overlooked.
Try this, cut this mat into long strips 6" x 1" spray paint green, spray with glue/water, then dip into flock then glue in larger flock/lichen and you got instant hedges.
You might be able to cut more narrow strips to facilitate mini movement as well as dye it in other colors to rep other crops. Maybe make some arcane crop circles, lol. Not to mention harvest bundles. Use those pieces that fall out loose or cut some to make some homemade static grass too! Great discovery! 😊
Crop circles would be awesome, lol. I'd put little halfling/hobbit heads peeking out nearby, as if they're watching to see the farmer's reaction to their handiwork. That's a great idea, saving the shed fibers to use on other terrain. I'm going to try and shake as many fibers as I can out of mine just for that.
That was a great looking table!!! Historical gamers have been using this for years. Yep, makes a great wheat field for 25/28mm. And if you dye it green it makes a great 15mm corn field. I feel like an idiot not thinking about using it for RPG tables. **smack** And you're right, these mats shed like crazy. It'll go on forever, the guys down at the historical game groups just ignore it. But you've got me thinking that spraying it with flock fixer (PVA-water-alcohol mix) would fix 90% of that. Might be worth a try.
I've always used the fake grass mat for my table and I love it! Super easy and looks awesome. I'd imagine these mats are put together basically the same way. The glue idea is great!
Nice idea! I bought a $1 floor mat a while ago to make farm fields. It’s black and has lines which look like furrows. I also like your comments at the end about the cheap 3D printed house. 3 foot rule and putting terrain in context are important considerations
Thanks for this video. I had the same idea about using door mats as crops but wasn''t sure if it would work out. Thanks to you I don't have to wonder about it any more. Watch out door mats, here I come! Yaaaaaaggghhhhhh.
Love it! This is such an old school crafting trick (i.e. The Terrain Tutor), so it's nice to see newer channels reminding folks that these "quickcrafts" are out there. :)
There is also a brown rib door mat you can do the same thing with. Cut it up into fields and add a little green pain to the tops of the ribs. Love the excitement, keep up the great work!
Friend of mine made these, and they give sooooo much flavor and vibe. i love them. He sticked some things inside and put some things next to them and boom, welcome to the Farmlands
Nice! I love big scenic tables for fights, or just to serve as a setting piece for players to look at while someone else is at the spotlight! This is one of those "why haven't I ever thought of that!" -kind of builds. Thank you for the idea!
Recently found your channel and I really enjoy your videos. This set up looks amazing! I would love to be able to have set ups like this, just don't have the room and I'm not super crafty. Can I ask where you got that background mat from? The one you rolled out first before placing everything on top.
I have a portion of my campaign that takes place in grasslands, so I think I'm going to take this idea and run with it, cutting oblong round-ish shapes to be patches of tall grass with a few scattered rocky outcropping made of foam to make my savannah grasslands terrain. Thanks for this idea!
The great takeaway from this is the fact that there are so many materials that you can use that are perfect for tabletop games. You just have to think outside the box a bit.
When I was younger and before retirement, I tripped out my non-gaming friends wives that I loved to go to places like Michaels and Hobby Lobby or Walmarts Crafts section. They thought I was the "sensitive" kind of guy. Little did they know I was thinking about all kinds of murder and mayhem...in miniature.
So, I didn't really follow your channel until now and it's funny to me to discover your stuff through this one because you're rediscovering in 2023 what I read from a White Dwarf magazine back in 2003/4 and it's literally that exact same technique that brought me to get interested in wargaming and later in ttrpg. So yeah, really funny to just stumble back on the same idea (which is great btw, these mats always worked wonders imo) and you've done justice to the idea. So, thanks for this :)
Looks like Wal-Mart is suddenly going to get a small rush on their Mainstays "Wheatfield" floor mats. The in scenery display really sold them, great vid.
"Wow!!!! You must really like our home furnishings!" "Home furnishings? Are you nuts? This is going in my garage so that we can fight over it." "HUH????"
Hey man, algorithm pointed me in your direction. I watched the video and thought it was a good idea. Well done. However, what earned my sub was the last little segment about the little crappy hut that in the context of a full scene, looks great. Great point about not sweating the fine details all the stinking time. Nobody, NOBODY, at the table notices that the flocking is the wrong shade of green, or the wood grain detail is too parallel, or that there is a little too much dry brushing on the roof. They are excited that there is something on the table their characters can interact with.
I found one in a dutch store called "Action" I was even able to just rip the mat with my hands so it gets a bit more of a rough edge to it make it look really realistic! Thanks for the idea!
Cut out different paths through the fields and arrange them to make a maze, add some harvest/scarecrow/gourd themed monsters and you got a Halloween themed dungeon
Got one from Ikea and know a lot of people who have too. Perfect for 20mm scale, good for 28mm scale. With some fences around it and worn down farm houses, it's exactly what the eastern front needs.
If you flip the mat over and cut from the underside you can draw on the cutlines. I wonder if you can add washes of browns and yellows to add some variety. Maybe even a light bone/sand drybrush on the top. You can definitely elevate this project to a next level. Maybe an idea for a future video.
It would be fun to see a reaper mini harvesting the wheat with a scythe. Add in some bundles of wheat as scatter terrain to really sell it. I am definitely keep an eye of for a similar mat to do this with. Fantastic idea.
Nice! I liked the build jam session at the end for filler. For smaller height fields/grass look at some of the fake fur scraps too. Check with your local costuming guilds for scraps. You can glue the fabric to a rubber mat/etc. Then you can use clippers to vary heights. I haven't tried cutting with clippers on this dense a mat... but that might work, and it might dull a blade pretty quick too... I want to try making furrows too. Depending on material heat can do things too! try burning the tips. Also dry a dry brush of a light colors will add some color variety. You can also spray on some pva/water/alcohol (or go with a stronger adhesive mix) and sprinkle on "toppings" to change the look from wheat to a another plant. You can also make a template and put in some crop circles 👽. I think I would also warble the cuts a little to give them a more organic shapes overall too. Rubber mats make for good road/river bases too! I remember taking our old house mats and cutting them up for stuff like this. This is a great entry point! You got my creative juices flowing! I gotta check out the rest of the channel now :D
Should try and get more of them and experiment with dye. Different colors for other crops. Perhaps even electric clippers for variation in height or to make "rows" in the field.
Those give such a perfect look for fields, and lots of potential for different applications!!! I’ll bet one could use some of the caulking mixture on the edges to build them out a bit give them a look similar to the plowed fields! The paint coming up the stalks like dirt is an excellent detail for the realism, I was so thinking that when ye mentioned it!
Cool! I have been watching you channel and a few other crafting channels for a while now. I love having 3d elements on the gaming table. I’m a PC in our current campaign and have only DMed a few one shots for other groups, but I love to build terrain pieces. Love your channel and the videos you post. Keep up the great content!
Those mats look great. I feel if you dotted around some of that other tilled terrain with them, it would mimic the fact they're actively harvesting it. Especially if you dotted some stacked bales around.
you could cut them into thin strips and leave a gap in between the rows to himt that some sort of modern machine or magical farming device occasionally goes through for harvesting.
as a compliment for this scenary - make some smoke and fire markers (flickering tea lights) - adverturers need to save the farm from bandits trying to burn the fields or because the PCs will make the situation worse when they don't think twice about casting fireball at the fleeing goblins that were stealing chickens lol
I'd deffo paint some shades of green, more golden, for other 'crops'. Honestly, I think for wheat, it looks a bit short, at least for that stage of beige. Maybe little furrows going through... Also, it'd be a LITTLE wasteful, but...probably the fields wouldn't be so straight and squared off. That said, great little project.
I can remember Games Workshop had a book on terrain making they sold in the 90's. And making crop fields from matts like this was one of the ideas in their book. Also the old Terragenesis website(RIP) had a project like this too.

As a kid that grew up plowing, planting, and harvesting wheat...its: Too thick. It needs to be thinned out. Ive never seen a crop grow that well. Too uniform. There needs to be random edges and holes in parts because sometimes, despite your best efforts, the wheat doesnt grow or dies out or is taken over and killed by other plants. Especially in a Medieval field without access to herbicides or fertilizers. Otherwise it does look pretty damned good and is pretty simple to make.
You should cut the mat into narrow bands and glue them on your previous design. I think it would be better. In the way you've designed the town, it seems to be a difference in scale between the wheat fields and the houses.
I love these. Next project will be to crank out a few of them for 10mm games. That's the intention, anyway, but the Sigmar players are welcome to use them too XD
Don't forget that historically not all the fields would grow the same crop. They rotated throughout the year sometimes leaving them fallow. But perhaps your village uses magical fertiliser and funghi. Dragon poop has to be full of all sorts of nutrients, if you're brave enough to scoop it up.
@@j.f.5162 or jus buy a green mat. that said there always the chance that the fields are mono cultured and rotates per year. aka one year all fields are wheat next year all fields are corn and so on.

Might take it a few steps further: First, I wouldn't cut it out so cleanly - maybe even cut it into some curved shapes rather tan perfect rectangles. Then, to make it look more like rows of wheat, you could use something like a butter knife to scrape lines through the bristles. You might just need to sort of much them apart, or you might need to actually mat them down or tear them out to get the right effect. Then take some needle nose pliers, and pluck some bristles out around the edges to make it a little ragged and uneven.
I found some shaggy hair material at Joann Fabrics, and it just struck me that it looked like tall, dry, scrubby grass. I grabbed 2 yards' worth and cut it up to use it as tall grass for Zona Alfa.
oh thank you! as a noob crafter, love ur quickcraft videos :) i made ur fields and love them! added some corn to some of them.. might do a few of these :) terrain tutor made some cool similar videos. and there is another version that lets you place mini among / whitin the wheat, youtube dont let me link them for you :/ ps do you have a video on how you made those giant mushroom? i keep seeing on your videos and love them, but cant find them on your channel
Tabletop historical wargaming has been doing these wheat fields for ages. They also use faux fur as well.
D&D crafters can look to the historical wargame and model railroading scene for lots of pro-tips as there is a ton of experience on that side that gets overlooked.
Pro tip for cutting anything with a nap - cut from the other side (back side) and cut only through the rubber and not the fibre.
Makes sense.
That was the first thing I thought when I saw him cut the mat.
just came to say this. someone has done flooring lol
PTSD flashbacks to cutting any form of sherpa or faux fur
Like carpet!
Try this, cut this mat into long strips 6" x 1" spray paint green, spray with glue/water, then dip into flock then glue in larger flock/lichen and you got instant hedges.
I didnt think of hedges that's a great idea
That's a fantastic idea 👍🏻
UA-cam "Kim Styles" did this with some advanced techniques and made a cool set. Video is called "Easy Flames of War Hedges".
Oh man, this comment section is a goldmine!

You've stumbled into an old old wargamer trick! Always looks great on the table!
It also remembered me of the early 2k‘s when GW released a terrainbuilding-book with this technique mentioned 😅 old but gold
@@norbaui3827 oh hey! I remember that book! Pretty sure I lost it somewhere since those halcyon days, but I definitely had it way back when.
I use this for 15mm scale war gaming. Excellent for farms or rural towns in most of Europe.

Up next: Crop circles?

Your final setup is what I want to make for my narrative project. It looks awesome!
You can use the fibres that you get from cutting and cleaning up to make haystacks. I got the idea from TheGameSmith.
I build 12th scale dolls houses and I can see this floor mat making an excellent thatched roof.
As a kid that grew up plowing, planting, and harvesting wheat...its:
Too thick. It needs to be thinned out. Ive never seen a crop grow that well.
Too uniform. There needs to be random edges and holes in parts because sometimes, despite your best efforts, the wheat doesnt grow or dies out or is taken over and killed by other plants. Especially in a Medieval field without access to herbicides or fertilizers.

Don't forget that historically not all the fields would grow the same crop. They rotated throughout the year sometimes leaving them fallow. But perhaps your village uses magical fertiliser and funghi. Dragon poop has to be full of all sorts of nutrients, if you're brave enough to scoop it up.
Well, he only had one color of mat.
Dye the mat green
@@j.f.5162 or jus buy a green mat.
that said there always the chance that the fields are mono cultured and rotates per year.
aka one year all fields are wheat next year all fields are corn and so on.
Sweet! I wonder how difficult it would be to pull out some of the tuft to make rows like in a tilled field and you could dye the crops different colors too. This has so many possibilities.
How about building some wood and stone fences for arround the fields?
Around Christmas time I go to their Winter village section and stock up on brick walkways which are just rolled up brick textured things along with some shrubs and other small things like lights
Drew has some of those brick walkways! And stockpiled some trees around Christmas as well!
@@StorycraftSociety awesome!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees use in them
They look great. Only issue I can see is models walking across the field would be walking on the tops of the stalks like Kung Fu masters.
Amazing idea! Who’s Jeremy? I wanna check out his video on using mats for roads that you mentioned
Jeremy is the guy we know here as Black Magic Craft : ua-cam.com/channels/2Rlv-ug-mtnXuMwlpcqFgg.html
Where is the play mat from? Love the fields.
This is great. Do you have a vide on the trees? Good lord those are nice looking!

Might take it a few steps further: First, I wouldn't cut it out so cleanly - maybe even cut it into some curved shapes rather tan perfect rectangles. Then, to make it look more like rows of wheat, you could use something like a butter knife to scrape lines through the bristles. You might just need to sort of much them apart, or you might need to actually mat them down or tear them out to get the right effect. Then take some needle nose pliers, and pluck some bristles out around the edges to make it a little ragged and uneven.
