I hope that you like this weeks episode where I crafted some new modular Wargaming Terrain Hills! Personally I think they came out looking awesome and I long to use them in a tabletop game! Stay safe good folks! Lots of love! 🤘💙💛💙🤘
Amazing work. Keep it up
@@greyprox4677 Thank you so much GreyProx! :D
That is some Sharp looking Stuff. I dont do tutorials but i have some builds that i show. They are all already sold. Usually the Comic book stores that do in house DnD will buy this type of stuff. keep that in mind! I subscribed!
I've come back to this video years later, having had wonderful success with doing it myself and getting compliments every time I bring it out! Highly recommend this approach to anyone on the fence, if you're careful with your shapes this works just as well for tournament terrain as it does more narrative stuff since the texture of the rocks is grippy enough to keep models in place on modest inclines. Can't wait to have time to make more, and I'll keep directing people here for years to come!
That is SO GOOD to hear SparkSovereign!! Thank you so much for sharing this! 👍💙💛💙
Chopping up the kitchen paper roll to act as stands for the drying hills is a neat idea. The Hills look great.
Thank you Euan! It was an idea that came from pure desperation when I made my dungeon tiles way back when! Thanks for the nice comment! :)
The amount of Swedish mini painting UA-camrs warms my cold Danish heart. That accent.
That's good to hear GrapeHate! We're not that many I think? 👍🤔
Dude, I love these. I’m really debating making some for myself. They look so tempting.
Do it Franky! They are super useful and very simple to create! :D Do it man! Dooo it! 🤘
I agree with the lord do it I’ve been making my own and they look amazing
@@tracybodle9759 Haha! Cheers Tracy! :D
best music ever for showing the result
Thanks! It's an awesome track! 👍😀
Great job.
I think, it's an honor to play with a master or player with such terrain on table.
Awww thank you so much! Very nice of you to say! Thank you! 👍😅
This is easily the best rock and hill-making guide I've ever seen! Thank you!
They turned out so well. Very impressed 👏
Thank you so much! :D Yeah these turned out nice!
These are amazing. Thanks for sharing the knowledge along.
Thank you so much David! My pleasure! 👍😊
this is what I was looking for. And I mean it, this is EXACTLY what I wanted to see when I searched "how to sculpt rocks"! this is a great job, you should be proud of yourself!
and you are nice and funny too!
You, sir, have a new fan!
Hahaha! That's great! I am so happy to help MrA6992! Thank you so much the nice words and for the sub also! 💙💛💙
And these as well! Seriously, really good tutorial. Am now binge watching and getting inspiration. 👊🏻
Thank you very much! You are welcome to binge as much as you want! :D More of these tutorials on the way as well!
Freaking fantastic Leif, these hills are a massive improvement from your original hill. I think your neighbor just wanted to join in on the fun.
Cheers mate! Yeah they have been lurking every once and a while when I go out to the porch and prime figures or varnish :D
This rock design seems perfect for large boulders and cliff faces, definitely going to make use of it myself.
For sure FunkytheFungusMonkey! I did a video called "rock formations" where I used similar techniques to create large boulders and cliffs! Have fun! 👍😀
Leif another great terrain tutorial. I think those rocks are totally awesome, so realistic.
Cheers Jamie! Yeah these did some out nice! 👍😊
I just found your page today and have been binging your vids. I don't know how you aren't more popular. Your techniques are spot-on and easy to follow, your end results are amazing, and your production value is great. Thanks for the vids and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Travis! I am happy you found your way here so welcome! :) Yeah I am not sure, I guess it could be many things but something might not be pleasing the all-mighty UA-cam algorithm 😂
Excellent work! I'm glad I came across your channel. Keep up the good crafting!
Thank you so much Robert! Yeah these came out good I think! I will do my best! :D
Stumbled across your channel. What a find! Thanks for the simple and enjoyable instructions on this particular piece of terrain. Subscribed.
Thank you so much Chase and welcome to the channel! 👍😊
Awesome video!! I'm just in the beginning stages of making some terrain. This video came out just at the right time for me! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
Thank you so much Chester! Oh you will have so much fun ahead of you man! Thank you for taking the time to watch it! I love helping so comments like this just gives me conviction to push on! So thank you! :)
These hills are great, you've given me an idea what to do with my cast off styrobits thank you! Paint job on these looks great and modeling with the sculptamold makes them look quite realistic. I love everything about this tutorial.
That's awesome! Yeah these hills came out good! Thanks for the nice comments! :D
These are beautiful and inspirational. Love your wonderful videos 😊 thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! My pleasure! Just makes me happy to hear that my work is of some use! 👍😊
Those are some EXCEPTIONALLY good looking hills you made! Color me impressed! :)
Thank you so much MacAttack001! Glad you liked them! 👍😊
Looks awesome! Thank you for the guide!
Thank you so much! 😃 also, awesome name!!! 😆
Awesome work on the hills.
Thanks Stephen! 👍🙂
Such Amazing Terrain.
This is My Style of Creative Building.
Thank You
Thank you kindly Tobias! 👍😁
This was the first of your videos I've seen and the quality is great, definatly going to subscribe!
Well welcome to the channel Dimanti88! And thanks for the sub! 👍😀
awesome looking hills.
Thank you so much Jardine! :D
Thanks alot for these great tutorials man! Really nice step by step.
No problem! Happy to help! :D
Turned out fantastic! I have several of your videos saved for when I eventually get back to making terrain. There's so much stuff to paint, it's hard to make time for terrain but it's one of my favorite things to do!
Thank you so much Jampire! This one is one of my favorite projects! Glad to hear it is appreciated! 👍😊
Very direct and well done. Subscribed!
Thank you so much Wonky Biscuit and welcome to the channel! 👍😊
They look great! I love when initially ugly paint jobs turn out beautiful by the time they're done.
Oh I agree! It is really an amazing process which I think involves a bit of faith or just a sense of exploration you know? I tried this originally when I got bored of doing just grey to white stone terrain and it turned out quite nice! So now this is my go to whenever painting anything stone-like to be honest! Thanks for the nice comment! ;D
Mate, this needs more upvotes!!! LOOKS GREAT.
Thanks Shane! Yeah I was really happy with these hills and I will have more terrain things coming in 2021! :D
Thank you...great demonstration!
Thank you once again Raven Claw! 👍😊
These look like actual terrain. The realism is there and they just look awesome. Great job Leif. May the Vikings live on!!
Aww thanks James! Yeah these really came out nice! Thank you so much for the nice comment! And of course the Vikings live on - in Valhalla! ;)
Really enjoyed this video. Nearly tempted to jump in to terrain building as a result!
Thank you so much! I think you should! It's really quite rewarding and fun! :D
Man, I dont know why i never thought to try this. Its so obvious watching this video, great work.
Thank you so much RoboticDragon! Happy that the video sparks some ideas! 👍💙💛💙
Broski, these are absolutely epic. Thanks for the great video and inspiration. Top notch, mate. Cheers, --Bo
Thank you so much! I am happy you like the hills! :D
Now I know what to do with my left over foam pieces. Very good stuff!
Awesome! Happy to help Peter! 👍😆
I always like your reviews because I think we think alot alike and you seem to have the same needs as I do. Keep up the great content and all of the reviews.
Thanks! I appreciate that! 👍😊
Fantastic video, thanks dude. They look great.
Thank you so much James! I am glad you liked it! Yeah these came out nice, which was lucky considering I made 14 at the same time! :D
They came out great.
Thanks Martin! 👍😊
I can't wait to make these! I made some Black Magic Craft rocks, and they are great for miniatures to stand on but they look too different from my other terrain, so I am excited to try your method. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much Tina! I did recently do some plateaus that are easier for minis to stand on! Thank you so much for commenting and watching! 👍🙂
Just found your channel by a post on Reddit! I'm so glad I did! I will definitely be back to this channel in the future!
That's great! You are most welcome here Tyler! :D
I came here from your Beholder Zombie painting video and I gotta say. Your channel is so awesome sir! Its not like other stupid channels where all the builds and painting vids are in time lapse. Your's is a relaxing easy to follow tutorial and also good enternainment. Just subscribed!
That's so bloody nice to hear! I am happy as hell that you liked the videos so much! Thank you!!! 👍😃
I really like these, they look awesome! I'm gonna make a few right now!
Thank you so much Tina! You should, these are super useful at the tabletop! 👍😀
Looks good, nice work.
Thank you so much Shane! :D
Royally fantastic! People would pay a lot for these!
Hahahaha! Thank you! Yeap I am very happy with these! Not sure about that though :D
Amazing !!!!!!!!! Those are well done my friend
Thank you so much Jeff! 👍😊
Looking very good Leif! XPS Foam is also my hidden passion too :)
Thank you Mike! Yeah it really is a nice material to work with!
Just came across this by chance - and I'm glad I did. May have to take a trip to the craft store later today... ;)
Oh welcome! And I am glad you found your way here as well! :) Yeah crafting is superfun! Do it!
ran across your video and it's fantastic! I really like how you repurposed all that scrap xps (now I'm wishing I hadn't recently cleaned out my scrap bin). Subscribed. :)
Hey Cary! Welcome to the channel! Thanks for the sub! 👍 🙂
awesome hills can't wait to build some
Cheers Robert! Have fun with it! :D
Love them they look great.
Thank you so much! 👍😊
Amazing the differance a wash makes. Best use of offcuts rubbish sculptmold and some basing materials.
Thank you so much Ellesse! Happy you like them! 👍😊
these are amazing! thanks!
Thank you so much! 💙💛💙
Glad I found this one!
So am I Tommy! Glad you like it! 👍🙂
Oh man. Just the other day, I lamented how I didn't have large enough bark pieces handy to make a big rock to put in my forest scatter, and was planning to use sculptamold to do the ground around it. Now, I've got great evidence that I can do the whole thing with what I have! The wire brushing and paint work really helped sell the striations, I'm definitely giving that a go!
I've seen other people also use blues when doing color modulation on rocks, and had some success with it myself. Should work great alongside the ketchup and mustard!
Wonderful video, as always, I'm so glad I found your channel!
That's awesome news! When it comes to hills and such I am a firm believer in using whatever you can to shape the hills - especially if you have sculptamold or something similar. Then the shape vs. the texture can easily be handled separately! :) Happy you found the channel as well! Good luck and have fun! 😃
How did I just run into this years later? The algorithm has been holding out on me!
Hahahahaha! I have no idea Briane8627! People tend to say that I am an "underrated" UA-camr so I suppose people don't share my content enough or something? Not sure, but glad this video made its way to you! 👍😅
Thanks for sharing, this might be handy in the future
My pleasure! Glad you like it Ulrichwacken! 👍😊
You, good sir, are a genius! 💯
Wow, thank you so much! Very kind of you to say! 👍😊
Absolutely incredible job! Earned a subscribe from me. Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow! Thank you so much for subscribing and for watching it! I am glad you liked it! :D
I love the opening
Cheers! I aim to please! :D
Dude, that came out quit nice 😊
I‘ll try it myself. A very much needed insperation and a good one too.
Tak så mycket för det 😊👍🏻
Greeting from Germany 👋🏻
Thanks Kevin! Please do! And nice work with the Swedish! 👍😉
Hey Leif, I haven't made hills in a while, but my first ones were terrible. I decided to make them all identical, for some stupid reason. I am particularly impressed with the idea of pieces made for the corners... I don't know why that never occurred to me. Very nicely done! Also, the use of the "paper towel tube" as we call it in the states is very clever. I made a board with lots of tiny finishing nails to keep my washed pieces elevated, but invariably I'd get finishing nails stuck to the bottoms of my work, which was easily removed but kind of a pain.
Thank you so much! I am not sure why I made hills for the edges but it just felt right, especially since I use a smaller battle mat than usual :D That sounds like a good solution as well, I think I used to balance pieces on pushpins and such but this was just easier and cheaper :D
Looks cool - thanx for sharing :)
No problem! Thank you for watching! :)
amazing work as all ways
Thank you so much for saying so! Yeah I really like the end result both from a functional point of view and visually! 👍
Wow. Super simple and great results. 1st beers on me.
Woho! Cheers and thanks Ovarb12! 👍🤣
Awesome timing! I’m just watching this before heading out to pick up some more basing supplies from a local game store (special order since their inventory is still low due to COVID).
Nice yard, even in the rain.
Be well and safe.
Haha! That's great! I would like to pretend that I knew that but no, just dumb luck! :) Yeah actually it kind of revitalizes a bit when it rains so in that sense perhaps I got lucky! Be well yourself Ronald! :)
I just finished the video.
14 pieces of terrain
Built entirely from scratch
I can’t find the words to describe my amazement. It’s like watching the people at Industrial Light & Magic (pre-Lucasfilm) build dioramas of Dagobah and Hoth for The Empire Strikes Back. This definitely gives me ideas for the diorama I may eventually build for our minis on display in our living room. But, that’s in the future.
Thanks again for such an amazing project.
Wow! Ehh...hmm.... I am sort of tearing up now. Happy tears that is! :D My childhood dream was actually to work at ILM so even to get mentioned in the same sentence as such great artists. Wow. Warms my heart! Thanks Ronald! 👍
sensational...what a channel
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear! 👍💙💛💙
Excellent!
Glad you liked it! Thanks again Emily! 👍😃
Beautifull!
Thank you kindly Yuma Noid! 👍😊
Jag har äntligen hittat en svensk kanal med häftiga hobby builds! Vill börja själv men är lite osäker på vart jag hittar allt, vad som är bra, billigt osv! ^^
HÄR ÄR JAG! 😂 Jo det är lite av en djungel där ute helt klart! 👍😂
Great work, final result is excellent.
Thank you kindly! Yeah I am happy with how they came out! Now I have a lot of building left though! :D
@@DevsDice Do many projects and such little time :)
@@RottenMechGaming Haha! Indeed! I saw that you do some good hobbying so I subbed! :) Also, damn that pup is cute! :)
Devs & Dice great thanks for popping in and the sub.
Really great video, my club doesn't have hills that look like this yet so looking to build some.
The static PVA glue is supposed to improve conductivity when using a static grass applicator - where you place the probe into the glue. I can vouch that this does indeed work, especially when the area being applied is quite large - at least you don't have to move the probe as much. (Regular PVA conducts fine for a short distance, miniature bases and what not.)
Thanks for the nice comment and thanks for the info regarding the static grass applicator! I will have to play around with it a bit cause I am not super impressed - yet! :D
Otroligt snygga. Ska försöka använda mig lite av detta till mina bärg. Ska bara hitta vart man hittar sculpt mold i Sverige.
Tack så mycket Eroooz! Jag tror jag hittade det på diverse hobby och konstnärsbutiker online. Bara att googla "sculptamold + Sverige"! 👍😊
Awesome!
Thank you so much Natasha! Happy you like it! 👍😊
i usually dont comment on youtube, but when i do, its a devs & dice video
Hahaha! 😂 Is that so? Well I am honored Christian! Thank you so much for each and every one of your comments! 👍💙💛💙
Nice video!
Thank you so much ZuckiRosenFuchs! Glad you like it! :)
Wow!
I don't have so many colours of grass, but I have to make some awesome terrain pieces as yours!
Hey Tomasz! Yeah the multiple colors of grass is not a necessity I would say, it's more a flavor! 🙂 Thank you so much for the nice comment and good luck with your hills! 👍
...ketchup and mustard xD beautiful terrain, great video, really enjoyed, thanks!!
Hahahaha! Yeah I recorded the VO when I was late for lunch so perhaps I was just seeing food all over! ;) But yeah it's really an interesting process that goes from "okay" to "oh no" to "wow!" right? Thanks for the nice comment! 👍
Household paper can be called "paper towels' also. Love the video!
Gotcha! Thanks for that Lolthien! 👍😊
tack du hjälpte mig massa
Ingen orsak Dalton! Det var ett nöje! 👍😊
Have an idea now for all the scraps! As well as I found a new musical artist, ending music was on point
Haha that's awesome! Two good things in one video! :D Thank you! :)
i love your channel buddy, and you got new fans
Holy moly! Thank you and right back at you! Checking through your channel now! :D
@@DevsDice Thank you so much
These look great and you've gone a great job using up scrap material, which is always a nice bonus. They look great for line-of-sight blocking terrain, but maybe a bit high for play. Thought about making a few lower ones as well?
Thank you kindly! Yeah I did some lower ones but I am also planning on making more boulders and such as scatter terrain. Also the upcoming video will feature some "lower" objects ;) Thanks again!
Those turned out amazing, did you save that dust to craft with? Great video man, keep Em coming
Haha! No sad enough I didn't! Thanks Jamie!
ummmm
HOW could ANYONE give this a 👎 ??????
Best hill tutorial yet.
Naaaw thank you so much Harriet! It warms my heart to see this comment! Thank you so much! 💙
Hi they look OK to me keep the good work up enjoy
Thank you again Anthony! 👍
I love it but I use tolite paper and plaster of Paris but it works really well too. I didn't have any mdf so I just use a foam flat piece as a base.
That sounds like a great solution! Anything similar will work I bet! 👍😀
Hi very nice!!! I am making ain indoor crawling track and for the surface I will make rocks so the video gave me inspirition how to use small cutted pieces polistirene. Thanks
That's great news to hear! Happy to help! :)
This is a great project! Really love the process and results. Just saw the video now, so after 2 years how are they holding up? Anything you would update with the process, and why?
Thank you kindly Russel! They are holding up well! The only change I would make it so add some paint to the Sculptamold to make sure that IF a piece of it broke off, it would not be stark white! 👍😅
love how you used the scraps of foam i try to waste nothing i even reuse my paper towels for terrain base cover
That's awesome Stuart! 👍 What did you use the paper towels for more specifically?
@@DevsDice i use them to make a shell over packing foam for making hills and elevated mounds ect
You look good in sawdust!
Hahaha! Perhaps I should try that as a new "look"? :D
I'm not a fan of the hollow hills. but I enjoy the overall finished product. I hope to see more of your work. Subscibed.
Thank you kindly and thanks for the sub! :)
Summers in your part of the world look like my summers
Haha! Well not everyday perhaps but I had awful timing! :D
Great Stuff Leif, but Ikea and construction store? I walk my dog and pick up gravel from the side of the road from time to time. I really love these hills! Do you find they are a little small in the width and length dimensions for the gaming table?
Hahahaha! Of course! If you can find good free alternatives then by all means! For me they are good size but I can see larger flat areas being needed depending on the game! 👍😅
Cool!
Thank you Marc! 👍🙂
Love the craft videos, I am trying my hand at making my own terrain but do not have the same look as yours. I'm thinking after reviewing your video vs my skills " Less is more " as they say so im going to scrap what I have and try again. By the way I would love to see different technics on making trees in the future thank you so much for your time and God speed sir.
Thank you so much Michael! Which part of the hills went wrong? Regarding the tree videos, well I have made four videos with trees so far but I do have some left so it will come in due time! 😂 Thanks for the comment! 👍
@@DevsDice Thank you for your response, what went wrong was all of my bases warped and are not flat to stand. after Painting the bases and attaching the trees they all warped.
Ahhhh yes glorious hills that my enemies shall retreat to. I can hear them singing Iron Maiden as they flee...."RUN TO THE HILLS! RUN FOR YOUR LEIF!"
Wonderful video as always
Haha! Thanks man! As always I love your word-puns! Also, great song! ;)
@@DevsDice I'll keep em coming as long as you enjoy a good laugh at a bad joke!
Excellent song indeed one of my favorites :)
Haha! Yeah that's going to take a while! :)
@@DevsDice I'll make it last the longest I can
Hey those look great! What do you seal them with after they’re done?
Thanks Jack! I usually seal my terrain with Matt varnish! 👍🙂
