- Want to make cool ruined terrain and fantasy crafts for your tabletop games? Want to make mighty castles or crumbling stone ruins for your games of Frostgrave, Mordheim, Forbidden Psalm, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer Fantasy Old World, Age of Sigmar, or anything else? Don't have or don't like foam? Despair no more! Join me as we look at the amazing potential of Cardboard Bricks & Stones! Extremely easy, cheap and/or free, and accessible to ANYONE!
Be sure to watch the upcoming Terrain Techniques Texture Paper video - it's sort of a sequel to this video as it shows how I texture my cardboard bricks & stones (and basically everything else).
I don't know about you, but I get a bit tired of seeing terrain crafting videos that look cool in the thumbnail, but seem to do all the same things as everyone else - "proxxon hot wire cutter, xps foam, etc". That, and the fact that a lot of people enjoyed my Wood Texture Cardstock video, inspired me to share another one of my Terrain Techniques! I hope you enjoy!

This videos are criminally underrated. I sincerely hope you get more exposure, there are so many hobbyists that could benefit from this advices. Keep up the awesome job mate!
I appreciate you saying that so much, it means a lot to me! There is a lot more on the way!
I feel exactly the same way you do about how foam is so prevalent in terrain making content. It is so awesome seeing all the work you do with cardboard. There’s so much inspiration in this video!
That makes me so happy to hear :) I'm happy that I can help inspire people
Shadow house looks awesome
Thank you :)
Love your stuff! So great for people on a budget.
Thank you :) that's always been my goal so I'm happy to hear that other crafters feel the same way
There is always great satisfaction when crafting terrain .. Excellent !
My favorite part of the tabletop games hobby! Even if I don't play very often, I still put my pieces on shelves in my home and it always makes me smile when I see them
Is always about foam, foam, foam, foam, foam this foam that, I hate it, is impossible to find in my tiny town and way expensive to buy online, I'm thankful for your channel and your ideas, you are an inspiration 🙏
I'm really happy to hear that, thank you!
Very cool. I think I enjoy building terrain out of cardboard and random bits more than actually painting minis or playing. Your cardboard terrain looks terrific and is very inspiring.
As for your comment: using a proxon, 3d printer or any special tools is a no-no for me. Cardboard is everywhere, I can use packaging instead of throwing it away, and if I fail -- I just ditch it. It's just cardboard, not expensive stuff.
Terrain making is probably my favorite part of the hobby, maybe tied with building miniatures and kitbashing! Actually playing the games is a close second, but much less frequent
I feel the same way! And it's almost like a way to exercise your creativity to see if you can make something amazing with cardboard, scissors, paper, dirt, glue, and a little knife. Then once you know you can do it, you challenge yourself more to see what else you can do!
Just found this channel. Immediately impressed!
Happy to hear that :)
Had a little laugh at the two buckets of corrugate bricks. Just like my bowls of egg carton pieces. Whoever can put the cardboard and egg custom together can rule the world!
I agree! I made a bridge out of cardboard and egg carton once and it might be the prettiest thing I've ever made so far
I really enjoyed the approach to terrain construction. I agree that cardboard is undervalued, people tend to get hung up on foamcore and miss out on opportunities to get involved in construction and express themselves. It's much easier and more accessible than it seems. keep up the good work bro. I already want to see more about your Mordheim-style constructions, buildings and approach to platforms.
Well thank you! I agree that people focusing on foamcore is way too limited of an approach when you can get just as good if not better results with cardboard! The Mordheim style ruins and city riser platforms will be coming in the near future
I picture one of the models standing next to a wall saying, “Hand me my patching trowel Boy.”
I am an odd fellow, but I steam a good ham
Thank you for this! I will have to try making some brick ruins. The shadow house is absolutely great!
Cardboard stone and brick ruins are coming soon!
First found your channel with your cave build. This one is incredibly inspiring.
Also, it is fun to chop the cardboard into pieces and let them fall between your fingers.
In a weird way it is quite fun!
Dope!. For the algorithim!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
Amazing source of inspiration as usual!
Pumped and excited to see how you made that shadow house ;)
Thank you! The Shadow House build might not be for a little while haha but it is coming
Amazing video as always, and I couldn't agree more with LegioPanda. The results of your techniques with cardboard are simply stunning! I identify a lot with what you said about the other terrain videos - too expensive materials and all the same. Since I follow you I'm enjoying crafting a lot, and I'm actually seeing the potential of cardboard by putting your techniques into practice. Thank you for your awesome tutorials and please keep up the great job Selrahc!👏
Thank you so much for your comments Dan! I always love seeing what you make too! My life has settled down a bit finally and so there will be a lot more coming soon!
Nice work
Thank you :)
Nice! Excellent stuff. Thanks
These videos are awesome keep up the amazing work
Thank youuu
Liked and subscribed. Look forward to more
More is on the way soon!
Really awesome builds!!! 😊
I appreciate that :)
@@selrahcmoonandstar welcome 🤗
I made a cup full of thin card stock rectangle shapes and have been using them as bricks on card board after texturing and filling in the spaces between with sand or Bill making stuff custard there is no real differences visually between foam or the card stock .if you want bricks to be uneven and stick out a little just glue a brick on top of another. it works for cobble stones as well. card board works well it dose warp and wetting both sides helps as well as weighting it down. making ruined building it doesn't mater any way. you want the walls to warp . good video thanks PS I have foam insulation that I have collected and have not even touched
I love using the cardstock shapes to make stones or bricks stand out on something, especially like the city riser platforms. I'm putting up a video today about how I texture them!
@@selrahcmoonandstar I will be watching
Really cool and impressive what you made with cardboard.
Thank you :) keep an eye out for more
@@selrahcmoonandstar Will do
Very cool stuff mate, i also love working with cardboard. So much potential. liked and subscribed 👍
Yay I'm glad you like it!
Great video mate
Thank you!
Great video, but how did you make the texture? Thats what's most interesting, as it elevates the cardboard from peasant style to even better than foam! At the end you mention texture paper, do you just wrap toilet paper all over it? Or is there another trick? :)
I had the same doubt. the textures screamed in my face the entire video. potentially wet paper on the cardboard? but the effect is wonderful. I was already thinking about how to add more depth, maybe some washes. But I'm curious about what's coming on the channel.
It looks a lot like the rock texture on his cave piece - so yeah, i think it's tp glued over the assembled piece, then seal and paint.
It is indeed "texture paper" covering the pieces and then painted with another layer of glue! In fact :) I'm uploading my texture paper video a bit later today to share more of my secrets!
Cardboard is decent for terrain crafting, it's cheapness its primary draw of course but its ok rigidity is also commendable.
The problem with cardboard is the warping. Since it has a nasty tendency to warp and look hideous, how do you avoid warping?
Since i want to use it for terrain bases, since wasting my foamboard on terrain bases feel... wasteful. So i'd like to use cardboard, but it always warps. Thus making the quality of my piece worse.
Making brick walls are honestly the best way to use cardboard since it combats the warping.
I guess i should start double stacking my terrain bases, to combat the warping.
One of my earlier videos is actually about making bases for projects out of cardboard! I try to make sure the corrugations run perpendicular to each other and that helps, but the other part of it is, if it warps, just bend it back into shape, it's just cardboard. If it does warp, it will probably be before the final painting stage, so just try your best to "un-warp" it, and then after it's painted it should look great!
