So awesome, love this project already, how about Gargoyles perched outside the front door. Remember they were a must in many of the old Gothic cathedrals, the more menacing the better and what ancient cathedral doesn’t have a old long rope bell tower. Can’t wait to see where this takes you Jen it’s gonna be a fun adventure
MOAR JEN! I’ve always wanted to get into war gaming but ya know *gestures broadly at representation* Excited to see this concept and a Sisters of Battle army!
Good luck with the execution, can't wait to see how it turns out! If you really want to get crazy, you could add some lights or screens with cool effects. A fountain in the center could be cool too, with some sort of angelic statue at the top
I don't have any suggestions, but I LOVE the super in-depth photoshopping we got to see, and your thoughts behind it! Seeing the reference images, and then how you incorporated them into the piece made it super easy to see! I seriously love that style! And HELL yeah to more Jenn content!! You're so funny and charming!!! And I'm super excited to see the steps of everything slowly coming together! Theres a lot to look forward to! This video also made me realize that I have never seen a cathedral with tombstones in front of it, and I feel like I've been missing out! :P
It was high time that Jen got some spotlight too! Congrats! Here are some ideas: - For the stained glass you could try the semi-transparent plastic things that are used to organize papers in the office. There is a hard version of them with different color tints. Granted, it is quite pale, but definitely see-through and glass-like. Given the small size you won't likely make a detailed imagery out of them (as the glue probably will be too big/much anyway), but you could try the top windows with the squares and see if it is worth your time. You could also try other similar materials, like plastic straws, colorful dices (not afraid of the d20 God and of seven years bad rolling, nope), etc. - For more vivid colors you could try tinted resin, although that will be a "colorful mess", as I think the shapes would be even harder to control at such a small scale. Alternatively, you could just simply print the pretty images on thinner paper, and see how does it look with some LED backlighting. - For the banners, why not use real cloth? That could be the base color, and you paint the symbols on top. Real embroidery would take too long, but a fat coat of paint has some thickness to it, which can vaguely resemble the appropriate material.You could also use greenstuff (or w/e you guys are using to customize the 3d models) for the banner part, and I'm sure you have enough imperial iconography to kitbash and stick into/glue the symbols on top, or just paint it.
3d printed banners->you can do black/white monotone banner designs, emboss/deboss or boolean them onto free to use blank banners that can be found on various 3d sites, makes for really easy painting as it removes the need to freehand, use transfers or stiffen and make fit paper printed ones.
I remember you all putting it together and it being in the background of a few videos! So glad you have the time to tackle it now. As for suggestions: there is fabric you can print on, I think that would be a good base for the banners, and then put it in folds and what not and put some stiffening agent on it (modepodge or something along those lines.) and finished are fabric banners to place in the cathedral
I think we need a courtyard with a fountain. . . get some water and a huge fountain to fight over in the front on some cobblestone! like a wishing well or something. . . Also, a sisters of battle cathedral may have a mausoleum, or a coffin someplace. along with a library or books of some sort. . . I can not wait to see were this goes!! Bonus a crashed bell tower, with a cracked huge sculpted bell laying on it's side. . .
Hi Jen! The Cathedral will turn amazing! I guess you could even incorporate some imperial armor laying on the ground as remnants of a battle on that ground. You could come up with a story as well! Keep up! We all want to see it finished!
I'm SUPER excited for this project to be coming back. I remember when you all built the cathedral, thinking about all the ways it could be applied, and now it's happening!!!
This looks great! I also made a sisters cathedral for my army! For the stained glass windows, if you get the size and design you like drawn up, you can head to a copy store and have them printed on overhead transfer sheets - it's a clear sheet, think what teachers used to use before white boards! But it makes them really easy to print up beautiful designs! for a DIY, Jazza's comic markers on blister plastic also work like a champ! Can't wait to see it finished!
Awesome work Jen and agree with comments suggesting the stain glass widows could depict the TTT team using Fan Art or Alysha’s roll play character art. If possible that is
Jen: First the outro was great, my favorite on the channel! Really captured the uncomfortableness I'd feel in that situation. Glad to see you're doing a series on the channel and I'm looking forward to seeing this project come together. A multi part series so you can focus on the techniques used for the different parts seems like a good idea here 🙂
This is my new favourite video from Tabletop Time. I love terrain builds and I love how you planned and designed this. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Get some spare headless or armless pieces of miniatures, paint them in stone colours and put them inside as broken statues. Also, some gold ornaments and texts in high gothic on walls will be nice. Also, it will be nicer to slap inside cathedral some mosaic on the ground - like a huge imperial eagle or something. Basilica of Imperator Best and Greatest - Basilica Imperatoris Optimi et Maximi.
I think the Tombstones should have a Graveyard to go along with it Maybe with Bodies Climbing out and such It’s just what I imagine a Broken cathedral to be like
Very interesting ideas! Can't wait to see how you pull it off and where the project ends up. One suggestion for the inside of the cathedral would be an altar of some sort, as those are common in most types of cathedrals or churches. There are lots of styles to choose and can be anything from super simple wooden tables to ornate pieces of art made with gold and jewels. You can have them for offerings with candles, foods, or personal items, as well as sacrificial altars with a built-in brazier for burning.
For the banners maybe paint on some fabric? There is fabric paints, but normal acrylics work fine on fabric if you don't want to be able to wash it :] Also, the pipes on organs are usually stainless steel, so have that in mind when you weather it :]
don't know which level, but this cathedral reminds me of a Dawn of War 1 (+add on) level, where the ruins of a cathedral were desecrated by chaos forces... also, mad props to your photoshop skills
I love this so much Jennn! Also on stained glass windows the frames aren't usually black just the lead between the panels - the frames are usually stone (like the doorframe) with wood between the stone and the glass (if necessary) Also please put a weeping angel in the graveyard - it'd be such a fun Easter egg
Old cathedrals often have bit grave stones in the ground on the inside of the important priests and people in that city (like kings and such) it could be a very cool detailing on the floor to add that
I'm so excited for this! It would be cool to add some leds to create atmosphere (like candles), depends on how difficult that would be on such small scale ;)
6:36 - For anyone else who has never been to a cathedral before. The frames of those windows should be the same colour as the stonework, as they would be made out of stone. They look black in pictures because people taking the photos are standing inside a dark cathedral taking a photo of the brightest light source - the windows and sun behind the windows. People want to show off the stained glass and so they set their camera up to focus on the bright window rather than relatively dark surroundings. If you look up "cathedral" on an image search you'll see the same windows from the outside or well lit from the inside, and see that they are stone, not black. The only black-ish bit on a stained glass window is the leading in between each section of coloured glass which is a blackened lead (in terms of miniatures, that's black wash over a silvery metal) and actually very thin on a 28mm scale. I hope that helps. Keep up the hard work!
I am so excited to watch this come together. I watched your build of this and was so hoping we'd see more of it. :) I like the concept you cane up with
Awesome video! Happy to see this project return to channel and I really like the direction Jen is taking it. I really like the TTT group and hope we can see more projects/videos not led by Jazza/Dave.
Loving the concept and theme. Just an idea instead of generic tombstones cathedrals graves are for the revered with these large above tombs which have iconography or a statue of the person image on it. Also to break up the floor a bit, bishops and high-ranking members of the church were buried in the floor with a large black stone with their names and deeds engraved in it. These are two ideas from a number of cathedrals in the UK so might work well for this project. Either way looking forward to seeing the progress thanks for sharing with us.
note that stained glass window frames are *not* typically black, but either stone (for structural parts like the outside window frame) or lead (for the edges between the tiny stained glass pieces that make up the picture), they just tend to look black in photos due to the bright light shining through the window.
The "stairs thingy" is called a Pulpit and it should face the rest of the cathedral where people would gather. It's used by priests as an amplifier, so they can be seen and heard by everyone. Hope this helps.
Did you see @missminilife 's recent video(she did Monsterbash with Dave before Christmas), on the library, she made a ton of tiny books and even made a pdf to print out, that could help you for props and other parts of the cathedral, every church of this size would have a library.
You can get some really well designed Space Marine banners from Shapeways. I use the one from there representing the 4th Ultramarines Company for the small strike force I made when the Uriel Ventris mini came out.
I think a cool way for doing the banners would be to print the designs onto iron-on paper and iron the designs onto small pieces of fabric that hang from a 3D printed or scratch made piece, but only held by the top corners do you get that realistic draping effect. Maybe you could glue some small gold threads from the bottom to act as fringe or something. (I don't know what it's called, I just remember seeing those at church a lot as a kid)
These kinds of videos are exactly the reason I keep watching. Maybe incorporate sections of the Sisters cathedral-tank or something similar? Make it look like the cathedral was or will be used as parts for said tanks (idk if that's lore accurate at all)
You could 3D print the frames for your stained glass windows, level some monsterclay, press the frames in and then pour some tinted resin in to make your own Windows ... yes it will take quite some time to get that done but it'll look amazing i think
For the interior, how about a couple of ornate tombs/sarcophagi? I'm thinking of places like Westminster Abbey, where there are flat tombstones laid into the floor, but also box sarcophagi with ornate sculpted figures on the lids. IRL that's typically knights and such, but I think the concept would translate really well to 40k.
the staircase stand alone piece looks like a pontiff to me, basically that's the spot where a priest holds sermons from. so the stair bit is facing away from where the pews are located, and the bit that stands up is for resting a bible that the priest reads from.
This excites me!! I've been scratch building a ruined Cathedral, best result I had for stained glass was to print the google results onto clear sticker paper which allowed me to stick it to packaging plastic which gives a really nice effect. Im only about 70% done on the project but drop me a line if you want images etc.
Cool video, you can take the pieces that has the Windows in it and put plaster in the window holes and then when that setts up you can take those plaster pieces and make silicon molds with them by just using liquid silicon and then you can cast all the Windows in those silicon moulds with fast set resin and some thints
Glue some aluminium foil to some paper, then you can use some markers to draw on/color it, or cover it with a little plastic and use glass paints. This is a convenient way to make some metallic banners or some budgeted stained glass windows.
Great video Jenn. Your design concept ideas are amazing! I'm looking forward to following along on your journey. With the banners, it could be possible to incorporate the use of a Cricut to make vinyl decals, water transfer decals or even sublimate a design on material. Not sure if any of that is even possible but who knows! Maybe, using resin, some muddy shallow puddles on the ground/floor or areas of the floor caved in partially filled with debris and water etc....Any way good luck!
I've found that fabrics or canvas makes good banners (not sarcasm). There are plenty of tutorials on how to transfer images using a printer. After you do that and cut the banners out, and you hit them with some thinned PVA glue to stiffen them. Dab on with a sponge. Don't stroke to avoid streaking. This avoids the dangers of working with cut aluminum, and you can distress cloth more easily. Also I noticed that all your stained-glass windows are whole despite the terrain having broken window frames. I hope that's just because of speed in the photobashing process.
Suggestion: Since you plan to have fallen leaves, you could also incorporate other elements of a forest! So bird's nests, some animal bones, vines and plants growing, maybe a fallen tree that crushed part of the cathedral wall. Really make it look like nature has retaken the cathedral.
Can't wait to see the process of getting this Cathedral to the end state. Thinking the floor inside the Cathedral would look awesome if you made it look like decrepit looking Marble with some 40k symbols inlaid in them. Awesome vision for it Jen.
Are Stained Glass Window Frames usually black? I mean they "look black" from the inside when there is light coming in. But up close and from the outside, they're usually stone. often a pale off-white stone in my observations.
The people in the stained glass windows should be the table top time crew. I think that would look awesome
That is a glorious idea!
Yes
Yay, a Jen video! Really loving the concept on this can't wait to see it come together.
So awesome, love this project already, how about Gargoyles perched outside the front door.

Well done so far, my dear. I am immensely gratified to see you stretching yourself solo.
oh yeah! i was so excited to see how this would look!
Great idea with the photo-bashing! Look forward to seeing the cathedral progress!
I love this so much Jennn!
Also on stained glass windows the frames aren't usually black just the lead between the panels - the frames are usually stone (like the doorframe) with wood between the stone and the glass (if necessary)
Also please put a weeping angel in the graveyard - it'd be such a fun Easter egg
I like the idea of the pews being smashed and pushed together. Good video!
I’m so glad your bringing back the cathedral! I really enjoyed the first video when you all put it together
Old cathedrals often have bit grave stones in the ground on the inside of the important priests and people in that city (like kings and such) it could be a very cool detailing on the floor to add that
I'm so excited for this! It would be cool to add some leds to create atmosphere (like candles), depends on how difficult that would be on such small scale ;)

Loving a full jen video! Can't wait to see how this series and build continues
awesome, a Jenn solo video, I cant wait to see the concept come to life
Looking forward for the rest of this project!
Yes, more Jen!
Awesome video! Happy to see this project return to channel and I really like the direction Jen is taking it. I really like the TTT group and hope we can see more projects/videos not led by Jazza/Dave.
Really like the Photoshop mock-up content Jen, very interesting to see it all put together how you would do it yourself.
Probably one of the best projects in Tabletop Time! Wonderful board! Looking forward to see it played in!
This is gonna be so much fun to follow!
Can't wait to see how it goes! The concept looks amazing. And it's super fun to have you as a host
excited to see this, hopefully we get to see some full 40k content soon
wow just wow
i loved it when she said
"im dave what not im Jen":)
That looked absolutely bloody amazing!
Wow! What a Projekt! Really nice to see the old Projekt come to life again, remember how awesome I thought the cathedral looked in the old Vid!
This is going to be so dope when it's done!
Looking forward to seeing you take this project on! Especially interested in seeing those stain glass windows. Good luck!
Nice process for figuring out color schemes. This is an awesome project.

That will be gorgeous.... looking out for your next video...
For the stained glass, you could either 3d print or laser cut the outline for the image and fill the voids with colored UV resin.
Awesome build! Looking forward to the next part.
Really enjoyed the pre-viz of the cathedral.
YAY!!! More Jen content!!! So glad you're getting back to some older projects! Still waiting for that naval battle report, though. ;)

I’m excited to see this built - love the design ideas so far
Love Jen doing a video and the series that is coming!!
Seeing this planning is pretty handy.

You could try using real fabric for the banners so that they don't appear too stiff. I have no idea if that would work though...
yeah that would work, soaking it in wood glue could stiffen it up
@@timago4443 yeah i was going to suggest fabric soaked in glue as well!
@@liesbeth_ve Probably the best way to get accurate texture while still being durable :)
Concept is awesome! Good job 😊
This is going to look incredible when finished!
Looks amazing!
This excites me!! I've been scratch building a ruined Cathedral, best result I had for stained glass was to print the google results onto clear sticker paper which allowed me to stick it to packaging plastic which gives a really nice effect. Im only about 70% done on the project but drop me a line if you want images etc.
Oooooo! Are you making a video of it?
@@rosascreativeworks5403 I've not been as its more of a learning experience than anything else. Been putting wips on my insta stories sporadically
Can’t wait to see what you do with this!
Cool video, you can take the pieces that has the Windows in it and put plaster in the window holes and then when that setts up you can take those plaster pieces and make silicon molds with them by just using liquid silicon and then you can cast all the Windows in those silicon moulds with fast set resin and some thints
Glue some aluminium foil to some paper, then you can use some markers to draw on/color it, or cover it with a little plastic and use glass paints. This is a convenient way to make some metallic banners or some budgeted stained glass windows.
Model railroad hobby uses either microscope slide glass or acetate as glass for making windows including stained glass windows.
The last spark of joy in my life
So glad to see this project come to a real thing... would be awesome
Great video Jenn. Your design concept ideas are amazing! I'm looking forward to following along on your journey. With the banners, it could be possible to incorporate the use of a Cricut to make vinyl decals, water transfer decals or even sublimate a design on material. Not sure if any of that is even possible but who knows! Maybe, using resin, some muddy shallow puddles on the ground/floor or areas of the floor caved in partially filled with debris and water etc....Any way good luck!
That will be epic I can't wait to see how ya'll pull this off
Look forward to this series
For the pulpit, a lot of classic churches have ones that look like gaudy gold things
I've found that fabrics or canvas makes good banners (not sarcasm). There are plenty of tutorials on how to transfer images using a printer. After you do that and cut the banners out, and you hit them with some thinned PVA glue to stiffen them. Dab on with a sponge. Don't stroke to avoid streaking.
This avoids the dangers of working with cut aluminum, and you can distress cloth more easily.
Also I noticed that all your stained-glass windows are whole despite the terrain having broken window frames. I hope that's just because of speed in the photobashing process.
Suggestion: Since you plan to have fallen leaves, you could also incorporate other elements of a forest! So bird's nests, some animal bones, vines and plants growing, maybe a fallen tree that crushed part of the cathedral wall. Really make it look like nature has retaken the cathedral.
Can't wait to see the process of getting this Cathedral to the end state. Thinking the floor inside the Cathedral would look awesome if you made it look like decrepit looking Marble with some 40k symbols inlaid in them. Awesome vision for it Jen.
Great video. Loved the photo bashing set piece, really insightful 👌
