Great video! That last shot with the over the shoulder throw--perfect. Love how you left your mistakes in too. A+
At this point in my years in the hobby I have been taught how to drybrush hundreds of times, but I don’t mind, because if even one new person gets to enjoy that sweet feeling of watching all the details pop then its worth it
Mickey Mantle still went to batting practice and got critiqued by batting coaches every day of his career.
There’s nothing wrong with working on the basics.
Man, I still remember the first time I drubrushed an Orc's chainmail. Pure magic!
@@ianshaliczer someone once said that winning in American Football comes down to the basics, blocking and tackling.
It takes a special kind of pedantic to say "that tin metal roof isn't historically accurate!" on a POTION seller roof. Like sure, apothecaries and strange remedies were all the rage back then, but a true magical potion? Sheeeeesh.
I digress. love seeing these simple but effective constructions! Great sense of nostalgia as a longtime crafter
I recently made a few tiles very similar to this, with one major change: I used chip board as the hard medium, and put foam on both sides so they could be reversible!
Always listen to Mrs. Wyloch!
I love the Back to Basics. The crafting, the accessibility to supplies, approachable skill levels,the creativity levels are what got me into this to begin with. Of course 3D printed things look amazing, but that's not something I can do in my personal life. These kinds of projects are what keep me interested and engaged. Love this!
I'm glad you mentioned the dish soap in the wash method, I never use it, and my stuff looks fine. Also the part about D&D not exiting in the middle ages. I have been a big fan of all your videos over the years Wyloch, you have inspired me greatly. The video you made years ago on the paper minis made using photo shop, is what got me into crafting in the first place. From you I discovered Scotty and Hankerin and Pillipow, andI always look forword to seeing what you guys have crafted next. Thank you Wyloch for all your hard work.
yeayyy back to basics ! love this tile set ! makes me want to make a basic set all over again 🙂
I really like this return to basics. Not just as a refresher or being good for newer crafters, but to see what changes you've made after so much experience.
Loved how you just threw the tile behind yourself to prove your point!
It's great to see how relaxed you've become as a terrain craft youtuber. I've been a fan since your first videos and have used your modular foam core dungeon tiles designs for years now and keep making them because of the versatility. Great job and keep up the awesomeness!
Basic techniques never go out of style. Awesome. Cheers!
I did some similar tiles a couple of years ago, though I made masters from milliput and cast them in resin with magnets. But my paintscheme was similar to yours, and also in a 1 inch grid. Only difference was that I used some reddish browns as well as the tan. Yours look great! You can also make different toppers easily using foamboard - I did water tiles and the like that fit with the set.
Super nice looking tiles. Fantastic job Bill! 🔥🔥🔥
I love these man. Gives me an idea for making roads for my gaslands builds that I'm doing right now. Got about 20 more cars to build then on to a play table for them.. I'm so glad your up and crafting again I missed your videos!!!!
Thank you for all your videos! I love watching your creative process and the variety of ways you approach projects. I have been watching for years, you were one of the first creators I found on CZcams when I really started watching CZcams videos for inspiration to my crafting. Watching you do builds brings happiness to my week. So thank you!
Thank you very much
Sabrina, completely agree, Bill is the best by far, I love his projects and creativity!
@@rob052771 aw shucks
@@WylochsArmory You are an inspiration to me, you are a man who clearly loves his family...seeing your kids enjoying the Proxon and making Mario pieces brings me back to when mine were young...such a special time...take in every moment while you can because you will remember this forever.....
This is what I do when I make tiles-- I use the "negative space" of a black backdrop in between the tiles instead of fiddling with walls. Only time I use walls now is if they are inside the room or on a set of Ultimate Dungeon Terrain.
Another great option for basing your tiles is 1x1 foot sticky floor tile. It has great weight to it and that helps keep them in place.
I’ve been watching you from the start (well, mebee a couple months in), and I think I’ve seen every one of your videos. Over the last year (since the Return), I’ve been really enjoying these videos. You seem more relaxed, and like you are having fun. It really shows. This particular video (which is particularly good timing, since I am making some bespoke rooms for an upcoming convention) really shows your passion and skill. Thanks for making this video.
Great job, as always. Your Tomb of Horrors and White Plume Mtn projects are ambitious but very impressive.
I love this! I was just about to do something like this 😞. Back to the crafting board
I know I'm a year late but this was sooo helpful! My brother and I were looking for custamizable dungeons and they were really pricey. We can probably do this for like a tenth of the price! 😀 Thank you so much for putting in your time to do things like this! This is absolutely awesome!
There are few CZcamsrs that when they release a video I feel compelled to rewatch a bunch of their older ones just to get a chance to 'hang out' with them doing their craft some more! These terrain pieces look seriously amazing!!! =) Much love and respect, Wyloch!!! Cheers!!!
Love the tiles! Can't wait for the "massive project," the Tomb of Horrors and White Plume Mountain are already amazing!
Indeed, if "Tomb of Horrors" wasn't a massive project, whatever can Wyloch be working on? Castle Greyhawk? Night Below?
This video and the one where you made stuff from cardboard and jenga pieces made me start crafting. I already made my first one and im so proud
Your voice is very comforting. 👌
Those look great! And that over the shoulder tile toss was pretty bold. I would have absolutely knocked over a cup of wash or jar of beads or something.
You're an inspiration to us all. I've always enjoyed the content and style you provide. These tiles are great!
I've done it, I'm in a Wyloch video. I can die with no regrets now. Take me Jesus, I've peaked 😎
While I was more of a fan of the individual grid-divided coloring, the final result is actually still very readable at a distance. I think the deep grooves of the grid combined with the pure black in them combined with the sporadic coloration makes for the best of both worlds. Great job man, keep being awesome 👌
Big thumbs up for this new style dungeon tile Bill. Already looking forward to your new big project. Incidentally still enjoying Tomb of Horrors full video, very relaxing to watch.
Great looking tiles. Even more tempting to try and make than your other dungeon tile designs. I really like how they look with the big rock wall sitting on the neoprene mat.
Good to see you are still around. Thanks for all the content.
I love your videos, Wyloch. I'm taking the leap this year to start building my own terrain and I am definitely saving this video for my dungeon tiles. I would love if you made another video with various different types of terrain (volcano, grass, dirt road, marsh, water, etc.) using this technique. I know you've done similar videos in the past with your other tile design. Thanks for all your work!
I never realized how well the grided squares hide the actual lines from other times, awesome look!
Simple, but effective designs. Dare I hope your massive upcoming project is The Temple of Elemental Evil ;)
ToEE would be awesome! 😁 If only my adventuring group back in the day hadn’t contained a 2e Cavalier class character who could not retreat from battle (by the rules) we might not have all died before getting to the elemental nodes. 💀Still the greatest published adventure ever though.
@@MisterTroglodyte I also hope for ToEE…maybe Wyloch has the Goodman version?
Your party needed to let that guy die, btw.
@@HammerheadStarcraft Well it was complicated. One other person in the party was the Cavalier’s sister who wouldn’t abandon him if he was staying. And another was in love with that sister and wouldn’t abandon her. And the fourth member of the party wasn’t leaving if the rest of them were all staying. We basically role played ourselves to death 😂
Back to basic videos are always worth the watch. I feel as tho you should always be learning and trying new methods. Really looking forward to the next video(s).
browsing the craft store, I came across a great option to keep my tiles from slipping around. They sell big packs of dime-sized Velcro dots with adhesive backs, about 12 bucks for 400 pairs.
Putting one of the "hook" sided dots on the bottom of a tile gives perfect grip on poker surfaces and speed cloth
That's a good find! In the past, I've used those floor protector stickers or even cabinet liners. If you want your tiles looking fancy, you can also use felt sheets - they come with adhesive backing at the craft store. Otherwise, a good textured tablecloth works too, and you get the bonus of setting the mood. We once picked up a couple yards of starfield patterned cloth from jo-anns and hemmed it, worked great for sci fi games and kept our tiles from shifting! :D
Even if you don't have a hot wire cutter, you can use the hard edge of the base board as a guide to cut the foam.
I did a thing like this and added some sponged ochre, purple, and green to a couple of the tiles in the set just to add some variety, I also added some green spongy flock the the gaps. Only on a few tiles.
Wyloch, I love your tiles. Your method is easy to follow, and your paint scheme is a great juxtaposition between reality and fantasy.
Great thing about the grid on these tiles is that it's so subtle that it's available if you want to use it while simultaneously being hidden enough to ignore if you prefer freeform movement :)
Love seeing your work--it always inspires me to do something more with my hobby pursuits
Always helpful. Thanks!
I've always hated walls. Player fingers always wreck terrain when you have them. This is the first design of tile I've seen in my Wyloch-watching career that I want to make for myself (instead of my kids seeing the video and saying "dad, let's make that project and play RPG's on it!").
*Tap, tap, flick!* I love it! :D
That is a handsome looking set of tiles.
I built a ton of your original tiles and clip-ons back in the day. They are awesome! That being said I like the look of these as well and the simplicity of the layout process. Thanks Wylock!
This was a really great video that flowed well throughout! Back to the basics and had the feel of your older bread and butter builds but with a better polish 👍 I really enjoyed it!
I make dungeons in this way: foamboard glued over plasticard, then do the texture with rolls from various brands and then I paint them.
i love your style. Straight forward and no BS without extra unnecessary steps.
Hey, glad to see you finally joining the tilescape gang.
I love your attitude. This is your game, this is your channel and who have a problem, they are not forced to follow your content. Thanks for your work.
Homemade wash, made my day! Second video of yours I have watched and you Sir have a new follower. Thank you for what you do, see you in the next one
Ah 2.0 dungeon terrain, made twice as fast, twice as durable and ten times more practical! Looking forward to seeing the scatter choices you make! Looks great Wylock. As always.
Easy and look great! I love them!
The recent resurgence of Hero Quest has brought me back to tabletop gaming, and thus to CZcams for crafting dungeon tiles and terrain. This particle video of yours has been key to my tiles!
Now at 52 y/o, I take shortcuts where I can, so I have been starting with precut mdf board of various sizes all ng with Dollar Tree foam board. And to get the "stonework" patterns after scoring my grid spaces, I decided to buy actual texture rollers from Etsy; in particular a castle-stonework roller and a cracked-stone-slabs roller. Gotta press pretty hard, but it is faster and easier than your soddering-iron method.
The rest I follow you instructions. I just need an actual set of paint brushes before I can paint the different "stones" before dry-brushing and 'washing' after mod-podging.
Brilliant! Love the work and lots of great ideas. Thanks for the video.
Love this! Again, love this!!
These look great, the colours mesh really well together
Aaah so refreshingly simple! The muted tan works so nicely with the greys. Super easy to throw a dungeon down and store it afterwards! Great job as always Wyloch 🙂
Excellent!!!!
Simplistic but elegant. Great idea about flipping a battlemat too.
Great video. I was inspired! I went out today and bought a box of peel and stick vinyl tile to base the tiles. Thank You!
There have been many tiles and many makers, but you are right, these a just perfect, Bill you've cracked it!
Thank you for how accessible your videos are - you explain each step the how, and the misc ratios etc
Love to see you bring back the basics but with your spin. Those tiles look great!
Well done! good tip with the Proxon.
Hits the sweet spot for me -- looks beautiful and the subtle grid pattern is great for playability.
Once again Wyloch, you make things that inspire me! Keep KILLING IT! Love you dude!
As someone who voted for whole-color squares (can even see my comment when you show the poll, haha), I gotta say, you made the right call going for the mixed-color bricks. Cutting back on the colors and focusing on a mix of greys with just a _little_ bit of color really makes the tiles pop. Awesome work, as always.
These look great. Thanks for sharing your take on the tiles. Definitely going to try your method of washes.
really dig how these came out! might have to go....borrow.........my spouse's soldering iron and see what i can come up with
Lovely tiles, very practical too
really like your style, your humour(when threw the tile), you look awesome human being and this channels is about crafting. love it and commenting mostly for the algorithm
They look great!
My son and I had been struggling with how to remove the paper from foam board when we came upon the solution last week when we spilled water on our foam board table cover sand the next day the paper was coming off on its own,then this morning I saw this video.
Now we know we are on our way to using alot more projects with foamboard.
Thanks for everything and congrats on the new home,its a great feeling !
Looks great!
sunday present! thanks Wyloch! never thought of soldering iron before. this simple video was mentally refreshing!
Past-Wyloch coming in setting up for the W doing all that ripping on the hardboard.
Nice. I've made some similar but nothing more than cardboard and foam board. The modge podge wash works great to seal them. I don't have many but I use them for individual rooms rather than try to use 3d house models.
I've made similar stuff on coasters. Awesome project, great job!
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Love it! Nice having you back, and that tile flip at the end was a great durability test, you crafty rapscallion! :-)
Good to see this back to basics idea. Seems like you enjoyed this simpler build as a change from the large complex dungeon levels recently posted. Making it to the final four is a marathon of achievements but sometimes you just want to play a fun game of horse with your friends.
Amazing vid! Can't wait to try this technique soon!
It's all about personal preference. it's like being an artist everybody has their own perception and look to their own creations that's why d&d and other tabletop games when making terrain help for us it's hardcore Crafters to express ourselves everybody's different brother!!! Keep up the good work
Great video! When I first started crafting for D&D I made very similar tiles. I discovered that if I made the hardboard base slightly smaller than the tile I could tuck "clip ons" into the gap around the edge and they would.stay in place pretty well. But it did make the edges more fragile....
When it comes to washes and adding flow improver/dish soap/whatever, for the majority of terrain projects, you don't really need them. However, when painting miniatures, thinning down with too much water can cause some problems.
Paint is made of two main components: pigment and binder. As binder dries, it causes the pigment to fuse together (especially with acrylic paint, which uses microscopic plastic beads for pigment). If you water your paint down too much, you can cause there to not be enough binder. I had this problem for the longest time where my models would have paint flick off and leave little white dots where primer was exposed, and I couldn't figure out why until I took an art class that explained this.
Flow improver and gel medium are used to thin the paint, but since they're mostly binder, you don't have paint flaking. For homemade terrain, we're often using paper and cardboard to make things, which soaks up the pigment and prevents flaking. If you're painting on canvas or styrene, using too much water can lead to some issues, so be careful when using the same techniques on miniatures. If this keeps you up at night, use Indian or Sumi ink for your wash. They're pine ash pigment mixed with water and gum Arabic. They're meant to be thinned down using water and you can paint over it with acrylic paint or whatever later.
Oh heck yeah, for miniature painting it's a WHOLE different ballgame. This was strictly intended for terrain newbies. And also to demonstrate for large-scale, large-area applications, you can be frugal and get a lot of help from the product.
Looks great! A quick way to construct dungeons for convention gaming!
Yup it is about time for us to update our tiles. This look great , we have started playing a few post apocalypse type games , Fallout etc... can you perhaps show how to make clean futuristic floors and the irradiated , nature beaten floors ? Thank you for your consideration... Respect.
Your durability demonstration (casual toss over the shoulder) made me laugh out loud. Great project!
That is an impressive durability test. They stand up to a human skull or being tossed across the room.
Another great video. Sometimes simplicity is truly better
love your videos! thanks so much for sharing your tips and tricks
Wow, they look awesome. Great work. I have to try it at home myself, I think
looks fantastic. love the end result although i do believe i would prefer more square definition. maybe wider lines to define the squares? or a thin piece of copper wire that could be painted along with it? sorry love projects like this.
I might use some of these for Battletech terrain and maps, too. It's just a matter of scaling them.
Those really did turn out amazing!
On the topic of the tiles moving on the table. What about using a bit of rubber cement to help them grip the table a bit more?.
HAHAHAHAHAHA knocking the tile on your head and tossing it like a used rag had me cackling like a Hag XD
@11:22 hahaha! *Thunk-thunk-thunk!* "Durable!"
Man, don’t you ever get tired of having amazing ideas? 😝
