    Today we are building a couple stone towers that will work perfectly on my wargaming board! These ruined towers are definitely a must and I am excited to use it in some upcoming battle reports.
    This build is perfect for tabletop games such as Frostgrave, wargaming, or other tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons!
    This is a great way to get started in making some tabletop terrain for new folks and those that are experienced tabletop crafters as well.

    All your builds since your return from hiatus a while back have been awesome. You manage to still keep the spirit of your older videos while improving on ideas that many might consider to have run their course.
    I have fallen in and out of interest in the tabletop hobby as a whole over the years, but have steadily watched most of this channel despite that. This is one of those channels that give me the itch to create something new after a long time away. Thanks for sharing your creations!

      Thank you Trash Cabbage. I appreciate you saying all of this. It means more than you know. ☺️

    I think ever terrain project has a mandatory "This looks like hot garbage" step, its just part of the process!
    Absolutely astounding towers, its great to see you experimenting with nontraditional shapes because it really shows the rewards creativity can bring! As for future ideas, one thing I always wanted to build for frostgrave but have never had the bravery to start is some kind of floating or elevated octahedron or nonahedron shaped wizard tower. I think those shapes are something that evoke the kind of esoteric madness wizard architects might delve into. Maybe something like that would work for you? please feel free to steal it!

    It's always really interesting and a great inspiration to see how you use cardboard as a substructure. Personally, I usually use either XPS foam or foam cardboard in such cases ... But that's actually the best thing about crafting: Most materials can be used in a huge variety of ways, so it's always worth thinking outside the box :)
    So thank you for your tutorial and your "other" ways of crafting!

    Great stuff! I think a hodgpodge of building types give the feel of a cosmopolitan cityscape, So it really depends on how you see your cities and ruins.

  • @Bluecho4
    @Bluecho4 Před 2 měsíci +1

    The different coloration and building style may represent a number of interesting things, even if on the same board as the more traditional pieces.
    1) Wild magic warped existing structures
    2) The green ruins represent the structures from an entirely different culture, that held different values (ex: elves or merfolk)
    3) The divergent colored stone was quarried from a different place as the local stone, perhaps for its magic insulating properties (the triangular shapes also have arcane significance), as befits a city built by and for wizards
    4) Planar anomalies ripped structures from other dimensions and deposited them there; perhaps bringing all manner of native flora and fauna from that plane into this one, that might still be lurking about

    I really like the asymmetrical look of the diamond tower's second floor! Not 100% sold on the color though, it looks great in isolation but the yellow-green vs red-brown contrast is a lot.

      @@DiceChatter well.... depends on if you want a set of these or not... like what you did with your ruins. I actually really dig this coloring.... im going to replicate it when i get around to my Castle Greyskull build. But back to what you were asking, if you do another ruined structure a different color should signify a complete different building.

    You might want to consider swapping from the army painter washes to acrylic inks, they work rather well as a wash option while being a LOT cheaper, and if unthinned, you can use them for easy painting with the airbrush

    Like is the bits and pieces that fell of the towers and then were used for make shift barricades and stuff.

    I'm very interested in the spackle design that you use, does the spackle crack or chip over time or does it stay in place after it dries?

    • @DiceChatter
      @DiceChatter  Před 2 měsíci +1

      So far, the spackle has done quite well. I guess if I see any issues as time passes, I can always fill it right back up with some spackle!
