Terrain Tutorial: Fast & Realistic Dystopian Industrial Tanks - Warhammer 40k, Necromunda, Kill Team

- In this video I build some cool industrial tanks out of soda cans. I tried a new weathering technique that I think was quite successful! I am happy with it. This terrain would be suitable for Horus Heresy (Warhammer 30k), Gaslands, Necromunda, Kill Team, Warhammer 40k, or anything else that takes place in a gritty, post-apocalyptic or grimdark setting!

Pro-Necromunda focused terrain channels are rare and this one is great!
Aaron Brown thanks aaron! Im gonna be doing some mordheim and warhammer fantasy stuff too
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Please do Mordheim. So badly need more tuts for the town I am building.
'Food grade' polyethylene film can be used as industrial 'curtains' (big pieces or vertical stripes) and tarps (big pieces and shredded parts). 'White' washes to simulate minerals, bit of yellow-amber for the weathered plastic look, bit of dark grey in the corners for filth. Hanging in a straight line or in a serpentine fashion like a shower curtain.
When folded on the ground or lying flat on stuff close to the ground, green washes and black spots to simulate algae/moss + filth.
Some parts can be 'worked' with various heat sources to create chemical or thermic burns/attacks.
Also, gently dragging the film on sand paper/using polish paste is a good idea for looks and paint/washes hold.
The well known CompactDisc case broken and burnt and scratched and drilled will give a cool 'safety glass/polycarbonate' look in buildings, industrial or military. Bullet impacts look good.
Nothing is quite as satisfying as seeing someone turn some cans of la croix, a few toy pipes, and a hair curler, into a grim dark distillery plant
To be honest, I thought "oh well, nothing new" when I saw the thumbnail.. But I never saw someone using these hair curlers on tim cans. THIS ALONE IS SO AMAZING!
noizebeast thank you! Even if not every project is reinventing the wheel there are always small pieces of inspiration to take i hope
Great use of those curlers most I've ever seen anyone use them for was for a crow cage to put prisoners in.
I am in awe of your skills. I love the way you can see shapes in ordinary household objects and turn them into something incredible. Well done, sir. Keep going.
Chrisdabeard Thanks! Its an acquired skill that anyone can develop i think!
Drinking straws work well to simulate pipes. Very cheap in bulk.
Only use the straight parts.
Wow! I rarely want to "exactly" emulate scenery/terrain bits I see from crafters, but man this one is spot on. I'm sure you already know this, but dollar-store squirt guns are another excellent source of bits for greebling or making big industrial storage tanks.
OLD SCHOOL GENESTEALER!!!!!!!!!!
That Guy is like 30 years old!!! Wow!!!
Sorry, i meant, awesome Terrain piece and tutorial.
bat man hahahahaha thank you!
This and all your videos have been awesome!
Edit: I'm going to stop passing up non-traditional wargame-y toys at the thrift store and try to see the uses on the pieces of the toys, like how you used the sides of the shopping cart as floor/grating. Thanks for your vids.
i have to say i just started randomly to watch this channel and after a couple of days i found myself building structures with waste material ; cost : 0 , and i have already built two , never thought it would turn out to be fun to try .It's just contagious .
Very inspiring the way you glue it all together and simply put a black coat on it and dry brush with some variation of ocre color. Nice job.
Your video on zone mortalis terrain popped up randomly in my recommendations, and I'm glad I checked it out. Love how you use so many common bits of household "junk" in your builds, I know I didn't realize for ages what a goldmine the average hobbyist is sitting on!
Aleks0207 thanks Aleks! When you get in the crafting zone, you start to see the world differently!
This guy is low key and super chill
this was the best use of a can of lacroix i've seen, other than maybe to wash my car.
wow thats pretty fancy to wash your car in lacroix hahaha
What’s up Eric? This is my favorite terrain video. I know NOTHING about the games they are for, but I do like sci fi.
Why do I like this one? I think it’s the catwalks… and I don’t even like cats.
So cool! I want to see more of it finished with different skirmish scenes and action shots!
Kirk Geier well come play with me then pal
All hail the Under-Hive! Nice work.
Martin Jasiak hell yeah brother
I'm going to build something very similar to this for my Necromunda campaign , thanks for inspiring me
Rich Friel alright! Good luck with it man
Absolute genius buddy and so generous of you to share more of your excellent ideas and techniques... thank you 👍
Richard Thomas you are very welcome! Thanks for tuning in
Man, the whole thing just comes together. Fantastic. I love it.
That ladder tip alone was worth watching.
Nice one Mr. Eric. You know I go to the thrift store and dollar store all the time thinking that I'm going to find some really cool bits to build my own terrain, but then when I get there I have a hard time imagining how I could use an individual piece, so I don't end up buying anything. Guess I just don't have the gift of looking at stuff and seeing cool terrain in it. Definitely am going to keep watching, maybe something will click for me at some point. I have found your videos very inspirational. Thanks!
Shane Flickinger i have plenty of times when I don’t see anything I could use either! You can’t force inspiration!
Your eye for this is very good. You are making me want to do a bunch of kill team terrain. Great work
Jesse Hammil do iiiiiit
I have a friend at the gaming shop I go to who was inspired by this video and made a similar version of this and I think that it is definitely one of the coolest diy terrain I've seen and he's done some good ones so thanks for inspiring him.
I love hearing stuff like that, thanks for sharing
Wow the stratego pieces brought back memories
Your methods have saved my life. I was just painting my metals a light grey and then darkening them with a heavy black wash to get where I wanted. It doesn't look bad, but with your method
I can get the darkness of the metal and the shine in there still. I was always adverse to using shiny metallic paint on large portions of my terrain pieces because it looks a bit too front and center. With this though dry brushing it onto a burnt umber base really fixes that. Also you inspired me to make my first soda can piece. Thus far I had only been using foam board, popsicle sticks of different sizes and old warhammer sprues. It worked though as im doing ork terrain with that, and foamboard ruins for my imperial terrain.
Gorgeous. This has been a great series of industrial terrain so far.
Attention Span Labs thanks...its not over!!
This is great, man! Love the methods you’re using. I will definitely be using some in my future builds!
Great work. I really like what you did to make those small pipes. It makes it look really authentic.
Mike Palmer thanks pal. The small details really do it!
Awesome structure you built there. Makes me really want to try something like this myself. Keep up the great work!
I can't get enough of this channel after finding it yesterday, binge-watching all of it!
Awesome! Been building terrain for Shadowrun table top, and its amazing how much you can apply techniques for Warhammer, as long as you stop short of the extra gears and skulls lol.
Anthony Schmidt hmm, i had never heard of shadowrun until now. Looks cool
I was thinking about how some rusted old chain would go great with your industrial builds. This is another excellent creation. Thanks for sharing.
You have a very approachable style and attitude and it's given me a lot of motivation and ideas for my terrain crafting. Thanks and hope you and your family are doing good!
One of the best terrain projects ive seen!Great job!
This looks great, I really like your industrial terrain!
the paint really transforms these pieces they look like a bunch of toys glued together than once the paint is on WOW
Really nice result. Good details and explanation of process and materials. Keep up the good work!
HVH thanks pal, will do
Music, time lapse, commentary... all of it is spot on. Keep up the good work :)
Very cool! I love the way this turned out! Really loved the weathering effect on the thanks, especially the paint separation effect from the water! In addition, I like your Cheapskate Method of using cheap acrylic paint and water! So much can be done with that mixture alone!
Commander CheapSkate thanks! Im pretty happy with it too!
Eric, this was a massive inspiration for me. I just finished building my piece. It looks pretty similar to yours just with the substitution of the things i had lying around. Now I’m tempted to make more. Thanks!
Dude, that turned out dope!
earh0x minis thanks! Thats the goal!
This is fantastic! Well done!
This is a stunning result!!
Jacopo Colcera thank you!!
That is a master piece. very nice details, I like it simple, industrial, mech. love it . Great work
Love your channel, man. Awesome pieces
the tennis racket ladder is genius!
The way you repurpose all manner of bits and bobs is wildly inspiring!
Thanks skie
Nice build! Love the weathering techniques!
Mark Mras thanks! Im pretty happy with em! More experiments coming soon
Great use of bits! Great terrain!
Chuck-n-Deb Taylor thank you!
Excellent trash bash build! Your creativity, build quality, eye for trash bits, and painting techniques are great! Your channel deserves to have way more subscribers, and I hope you get them soon!
Thank you! I appreciate it
Thank you for this tutorial!!! It solves many of my questions.
First time coming across your channel man, got a new subscriber!!!, you deliver info quick and precisely no beating round the bush. Thanks man :D
Glad you like it! Welcome
Deodorant cans are pretty good for this sort of thing- you can cut the bottom dimple from a pop can, flip it around and glue it to the bottom end, making a really good looking tank. Just got to hide the nozzle end somehow. I was making a Gaslands style tanker truck using one, though I ended up scrapping it when I realised it was way out of scale. It'll probably be repurposed as a terrain piece like this at some point.
Thank you for sharing this video here..... Great seeing so much creativity using random bits and pieces 👍
Glad you liked it!
What a great piece! Nicely done!
The GameCraft Dragon thanks! Glad you liked it
Love the overall muted color with several focal points of off-white as contrast
Very dark and rough looking. It looks great! I like the abandoned look to it and the technique of removing the acrylic paint in some areas is very helpful.
your builds are a treat for the eyes!!! Very creative and effective. thanks for sharing
Beyond the Record thank you!
Amazing item! One thing i was thinking about at the end, the hole in the top of that thing on top could be charred to look like there is fire that comes from it at times. i think that would make that stack part a little more interesting. Amazing build!
Excellent video. The finished model is awesome. More like this please!
Edward Allen well...if you insist!!! Ill keep em coming lol
Awesomely job and really clear tutorial 👍
Thank you Eric for another great video, You have a real talent for thinking outside the box.
Anton Macarthur thanks Anton! I have this weird compulsion about not using my bits box (of gw bits) so i end up improvising and salvaging a lot of stuff
I love your content dude. I only started painting mini's a month ago. Now I wanna do these little scapes you do. Just need to train my eye to look out for bits I can use. You have earned a sub, with notifications on!. Looking forward to watching your channel grow. Keep up the awesome work.
Awesome! Its a great hobby. May you find countless hours of enjoyment as i have
Great work, that is an awesome industrial terrain build!
Meandering Shade thank you!
One word - Fantastic!
Nice work, I like your concept and both the scratchbuilding execution and video composition were great!
Thanks Nic!
I just stumbled upon your channel, fantastic ! It is good to see that building your own terrain from junk is still rockin. Brings me Back to The 90's where all the terrain in white dwarf / hobby mags where all scratch built. At least the table will be individual and not a sector imperiallis / mechanicus cookie cutout (although with STC's in lore I guess it's ok ) plus necromunda... So I'm subbed. Keep up the great work inspiring us.
Vormvood13 having a unique tabletop is one of my main motivators. I love the SM kits but you cant beat unique!
Stratego coming up huge!
You make some epic stuff. I love this channel. Thanks for sharing.
Dan Langford thank YOU Dan for tuning in
Bloody brilliant well done
Philip Freeman thanks philip
Such a cool build! Thanks a lot
mattkent my pleasure
Thats very nice, great video!
" I found these in a bag on the street". :)
Always lol
Amazing work!!!
Amazing example of how you can put seemingly worthless bits to really good use
Awesome build! I really love your work!
Thanks Wayne! I appreciate that.
who else has started collecting cool garbage for set building? Very inspiring work!
Me and then my wife gets mad threatens to throw out all my treasures which she calls junk. But then she asks me (when she has an empty box or container) do you want me to save this for you? Ahhhh she loves me and is an enabler.
Cool! Really good one
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Another great video man, keep it up!
tt thanks tt!!
You technique is vary inspiring it makes me want to try them great job!!!
Simple odds and sods found anywhere can make something so realistic with some weathering. Cheers Mate - Stay Safe!!
Love watching your videos, even if i already built most of that stuff. Great work man, keep it up!
Juliusz Łazarewicz you can always build more! Right? Haha
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop oh yea, oh yea. One never have too many shanty town shacks😀
awsome build! Thanks!
I love the use of the hair rollers. Great stuff!
Hero of the Table Thanks, i think there are probably lots more uses too
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop I've seen a different type of roller used for ladders.
I agree there could be lots of uses for them.
Looks sick
Looks great
Really nice piece
Great video Eric! Have to keep an eye out for those amazon pipes you mentioned.
Nice work!!
Excellent work!
Chris Venter thanks chris!
I’m really enjoying your videos. Thank you so much.
Thanks billy!
Subbed. Fantastic looking terrain. Thx for sharing, lots of great ideas!
Pablo G thanks !!
very clever use of materials. Nice!
Thanks!
This is fantastic and creative. I wish you would zoom in more. Those shots of you doing the rust effects were really good. I really want to see what you have in your bits box.
Sanorace its a delicate balance between keeping things in focus perspective and zooming in! I hope to solve those aperture issues with a new lens at some point, but thanks for the feedback
Love this. 👍 really awesome
Looks great 👍 thanks for the video
Thomas Smith thanks for tuning in!!
What i tend to do for that weathering effect on the tanks is that, right after applying the acrylic paint, i use a pretty stiff wet brush and start rubbing the paint until it starts wearing and falling off irregularly. Works pretty well for me and I think it's pretty "controllable" so you might give that method a go. Great build btw and enjoy your vids quite a lot!!
Enjoyed, Liked, Subscribed and Notifications activated... Excellent work Eric, have a good one.
TheDobber thanks, glad you found it to your liking!
awesome work
Love it, subbed!!
