This is BY FAR the best video yet. I must steal/borrow these ideas for my own Etruscan/Maltese underworld terrain project. The only changes I would make would be 1) transition the brown color to a greener shade as you go down towards the floor, and 2) give everything a matte spray to get rid of the sheen of the cured texture paint. Other than those two points, this build is absolutely superb! Thanks so much.
The loculi / alcoves came out great. And that texture paste recipe will come in handy for an upcoming project...... You know while down there, a skeleton even got in on the act. He told me a joke, it was quite humerus....
Great video John! The texture paste add a realistic look to the walls and those skeletons are just totally awesome. Adding a couple traps and treasures from previous videos would really give anyones players a great challenge and fun experience!
This is a great project and I'm looking forward to the next one. I'm sure the catacombs could use a cave rat, but then again, your current residents could easily have consumed him for lunch. That texture paste is excellent and looks dynamite just as it is!
Once again you smashed this one out of the park! Love the texture paste you made…..and using pastels is a great way to add another level of texture to the build. Really looking forward to the last vid of this series! I know a great piece of scatter terrain that would be perfect for the catacombs….😉
are we gonna see a giant skeletal swarm or something in the next video? Your catacombs made me think of Skyrim a bit. Great work as usual! maybe go with 'brown tinted water'? but we know what you mean!
The Catacomb walls really add a lot to Catacomb tiles from last week! They more than double the creepiness factor and really give an added dimension to the whole build! I will definitely use your texturing paste in the near future! Does the baking soda add any strength to the mod podge strengthing effect on the styrofoam? Now I can't wait to see the third installment! To me, the scariest aspect of catacombs is the threat of getting lost in them! You might think of adding that in to your game when you play! Two thumbs up John! Awesome!
*_Wow this was great! This video didn't show up in my YT feed on the 25th, and I didn't see it existed before today. Do you plan on making it REALLY large, maybe 4-6X6-8feet?_* *_I wonder, do you have a plan of making a vast city, with many levels.....ohmy...._*
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT *_I've had my coffee now. What could work is a pole fastened to the floor and celling, with each level being on it's own board(Top layer is the city on one board, next board is the man-made dungeons, then sewers, then grottos,)being on it's own "slice", that you can move away as the brave adventurers go down, down, down into the deeps. It won't be too heavy as it's all XPS, but it needs to be strong, so the frame might need to be made of metal, I think. Also, you'll need A LOT OF ROOM for this, haha._* *_It would be easier to just have each level on a board that you lift and insert into a gaming table, then remove as the party goes down into the deeps._* *_Or, just do what Ryan Devoto did in his basement._* (Search: Ryan Devoto+D&D Fantasy Diorama) *_Maybe my coffee-infused idea would work best as a 10mm project._*
Those skeletons were a really nice touch, but man, I am impressed with the small battery packs and LED lights. What are the battery packs / sizes you used?
Your catacomb walls and tiles looked nice, but mine were chicken-scratched out with black wet-erase marker on a plain tan battle mat. So whose was better?
Thank you Patrick, the baking soda is extremely cheap and the consistency is much finer than sand. I do add a bit of sand to the mix as well to change it up slightly.
The lore of your sponsor would make a sweet phone game.
Yes it would.
The best walls for tabletop gaming i have ever seen!!!
Wow, thank you very much :)

Thank you so much... I'm glad you're enjoying the series. Great idea on the matte finish. I should start showing that on the channel.

Haha, you have struck again! I'm glad to hear the texture paste recipe will come in handy.
Your catacombs are looking amazing! These walls really added a lot.
Thank you :) !!
wow john that is amazing with the skuls and the technique with baking soda and really beautiful
Thank you Luc !!
Definitely looking into the skelly dudes. Thanks for another awesome build.
You got it Tommy!
Your creative use of skeletons never ceases to amaze me! :D Cheers dude!
Your creative design of skeletons never ceases to amaze me! Thanks for a killer product!
Such fantastic stuff with these last two videos (catacomb series). Love what you are doing here.
Thank you ... I'm glad you're enjoying the series! More to come :)
I love this. Even thought the ground kind of reminds me of brownies hehe
:) Thanks
John, I can't say enough just how good your content and channel are! Super excited to see part 3! Excellent as always!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you Tim !
I never seen catacombs so frightenings either in Paris underworld ! I will see the last show with great expectetions !
Best wishes from France !
It's great to hear that!!! Thank you for sharing :)
Merci beaucoup
The build looks great
Thank you!
Way to go, sensei!! I can't wait to try out that texturing paste. Yeah, scatter terrain. Maybe even more than one video? -Rick, USMC
Thanks Rick!! So you're a fan :) I'll see you on Discord !
Love your channel! I still play D&D, but I use a lot of your advice for my 1/12th scale displays!
Thank you !! and that's really cool, thanks for sharing!
Awesome build!
Thanks Tim :) !!
"Browned up water" 👍
LOL... I knew that would be your comment :)
Excellent! I think I am grabbing the “crawling death” TigerSkull RPG STLs as well which would work awesome here potentially! Nice work, John! 👌🏻
Thank you! Yeah, he has a ton of awesome content! See you on Discord!
I could see Crawling Death hobbling around these catacombs for sure :'D
@@tigerskullrpg5092 just ordered all those STL files today! Thanks!

Right on Mike….. oh yeah, current residents gobbled them all up haha.
Great tiles. Would love to see you do a scify series.
Thank you Pete.... yes, that would be a fun change.
What a great idea for DIY texture paste! Awesome build, as always!
Thank you Sara... and it lasts a very long time in an air tight container!
Fantastic stuff!
Right on, thank you !
Looks awesome. Very Dragonfall Barrow and

Scatter terrain Andy... not splatter terrain.... too much lol. Sorry I couldn't help myself.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT mwah hahahahahhaha, well played young man!
Man that's sick !
Thanks Justin 👍
Creepy! And that's a good thing in this case. 😍😜
Thanks :)
Queste cose mi fanno venire nostalgia 🔝
Grazie !
Love it, bro.
You got it, thanks!
are we gonna see a giant skeletal swarm or something in the next video? Your catacombs made me think of Skyrim a bit. Great work as usual! maybe go with 'brown tinted water'? but we know what you mean!
I think so! That's what the character looks like from the Fables adventure!
Fantastic !!!
Thank you!!
That is awesome
Right on John!!! Thanks.

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Have you posted it to fb yet?
Well I would subscribe to you today but.....I already have! Cool concept! Thanks.
I'll take that, thanks Christopher :)
Awesome Work - wow

Thanks Will. You can find links to all the items I used in the video, in the description under my Amazon links. Thanks for the support!
I like these terrain pieces, did you think about putting some stone slabs in the walls to match the floors?
That's a great idea!
Muito bom!
Adorei a ideia!!!
Muito obrigado. Fico feliz que tenha gostado do vídeo.
Where did you get the zombie miniatures for this scene? I love the entire setup.
Thank you. They’re from Reaper.
They need to make Dwarven skeletons.
Ok, now that's a really cool idea !
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I'm here to help!
J'y vois du skyrim hehe j'adore c'est superbe
Cela faisait partie de mon inspiration ! Merci.
What ever happened to your torture series? Im looking forward to seeing more
The nice thing about these playlists is that as things pop up I can add to them. Let’s just say…. Don’t miss the next video… it might fill the void :)
I love this! And the music! What is this track?
Thank you !!! "Dark Times" by Etienne Roussel
Great Video! Out of curiosity, where did you get the "wire twister" tool and the small "battery packs"?
Thank you! Check out my “Easy LED Wiring” video. I have a link to it there :)
Your catacomb walls and tiles looked nice, but mine were chicken-scratched out with black wet-erase marker on a plain tan battle mat. So whose was better?
A lot to be said for the hand drawn maps on the battle map :)
what's the music you added to this video. .....very neat, and creepy
Thanks… it’s “Dark Times” by Etienne Roussel
Awesome, Thanks!!
Where can I get this kind of skeletons? I would like to ty to make catacombs too!
Link in the video description.
When you store the texture paint is it best to keep it in a cool dry place?
I would yes.
Where is the music from? I can swear that it is from Disciples 2.
It's from Epidemicsound... I don't have the exact song name at the moment, but I did answer it in a previous comment.
Looking for the torches, I did not see a link. did you make those torches or buy them?
Hi Greg, I made them in a prior video.... here's the link: czcams.com/video/y9uo13qo7Es/video.html
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that texture paste just straight acryllic mixed with baking soda?
Tha video is a step by step. Lmk if I left it out… it’s been a while since I made it.
XPS Foam. right? What thickness?
Yep, 1”
I see, another one has played Skyrim for a while ;-)
Many... Many hours.
where did u get the zombies from
Those are Reaper minis.
Your catacombs are very frightening. Why do you use baking soda instead of sand? Best price ?
Thank you Patrick, the baking soda is extremely cheap and the consistency is much finer than sand. I do add a bit of sand to the mix as well to change it up slightly.
The words brown water doesn’t sound good lol
I know lol.
