I'm an old fart just coming into this. However, I have a vast architectural background. I find these videos captivating. You are never too old to learn from the young. Btw, well done!

You've managed to create a scale version of modern Detroit in those glamour shots. Robocop would be proud to serve and protect there.

That waterfall in the background! :O

As I was watching you make the crumbled wall, I was thinking, "Dude is way too strong, he is gonna break it." I wasn't disappointed. Nice build bro!

much respect to see you using math instead of overmeasuring. I hold the compass to be one of the most under utilized tools in terrain making

I see you utilized the word 'utilize'

AH! Seeing the different layouts with that modularity is so satisfying

Nicely conceived and built. I like the ability to UTILIZE the components for a multitude of configurations.

Man I wish I had a friend like you

You utilized that foam board incredibly well. 👏👏👏

If I had been taught geometry that way, I'd remember more.

I might recommend a scroll saw to help speed up and ease the process of having to cut through several layers of foam at a time. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

Bob Ross of tabletop crafting, great job!

Thank you for considering other countries when clarifying what you mean by chipboard! Not many videos I've watched do this and it's really useful considering how many crafting materials have different names across the world. Another amazing build by the way!

Another great build! I think a lot of times modular terrain isn't worth the effort to craft or purchase, as the fitment and hassle of pegs or magnets can be more trouble than they're worth, but for big, Line of sight blocking terrain, especially with a very simple, fast attachment point like you've designed here, I think you can get a ton of value and it stays fresh for just a little effort and planning. Would love to see some wyloch style clip-ons for this system, in addition to the larger buildings you mentioned. Keep up the good work!

Zero lol. Gotta pick and choose units to show on camera. I have like 2000pts of playable night lords, but only about half is fully painted. Half has just basecoats so looks halfway decent on the table at a distance. I have about 1500 pts of blood angels built and half painted as well. I have close to 2000 pts of eldar that are almost all unpainted, save a unit of guardians, a farseer and a jetbike. And i have a handful of guard, a few tyranids, a decent amount of orks, an indomitus worth of necrons. Ok i have a lot. Still working on painting it all though

Pedantry incoming. 15:15 - There is a difference between 'use' and 'utilise', when they're used correctly (which people rarely do). You utilise something when you put it to a use for which it was not originally intended. If you're a Blood Angels captain who opens a door, you're "using" it. If you're the same captain who rips the door off its hinges and batters an Ork boy over the head with it, you're "utilising" it. BTW, love watching your vids. I used to scratch build terrain - it was always my favourite part of the hobby. Your videos are giving me that itch again. :)

This is looking awesome and your way of explaining is very beginner friendly . Cheers

This looks like something that would be at the end of a classic codex to showcase the army. Nice.

Eric feels like the Bob Ross of Warhammer

Saintly light surrounding background, wearing dark monk hoodie sets the tone for this video once again for info. Breached wall is such a great idea..

Great video. The relaxed style on KZread is an oasis. Excellent tips and attention to detail. Looking forward to the Titan progress. You kicked off a lot of ideas for me, appreciate it.

Lighting looking much better on the talking head section. Good job!

A fortification worthy of Dorn himself.

These are really fab! Reminds me of Warhammer (40k) Siege games back in the 90's!

this is fantastically great excellent build and video. With the skills I've learned from this video i gonna make me a fortress

That looks sick on your new desert table!!!!

Looks great! Now, it just needs a little "Flash" I'm sure some friendly local Orks will help with that Nearby Warboss: "Dem beakies is so nice, makin me up a cozy lil Fort. Fink I'll name it "Kamp Krusha" once I mash up da tin can humies inside"

"I have ideas to do some chaos add-ons that will fit well with my Night Lords army." - Talos approves of this post.

All you need is some awesome siege implements for those ramparts... some gun-line defenses, gun and ammo racks/caches, radar or comms array. Even better if they are modular. Maybe add some grates here and there and pipes. They always go well in sheer concrete buildings.

I love castle terrain so much for some reason lmao this is awesome

"utilize" implies the use is actually not the intended one; the verb means "to make utile". For example, you _utilized_ insulation foam to sculpt model walls.

Emil and Dave humbly request more chaos. with much love from the shrine of chaos!

As always, nice utilisation of a sand reference.

All ot needs is a trip to the bitz box; Imperify it up with a few aquilas, add a some skulls; maybe even a reliquary built in above the gate with the bones of some of the honored dead in it. Maybe even a few purity seal attached to the gates themselves.

What a good job, it gave me ideas to do something similar for my Ultramarines army and complete my strength of my Astra Militarum army.

You are a great artisan. For Sanguine For the Emperor. Love your channel.

By the blood of Baal, this is perfect!

Thank you for this video, I have watched it like 15 times now and continue to learn new things each time. I won't roast you but I have always been taught that the word "utilize" simply means using something in a way not originally intended, where as "use" means to employ as originally intended. Example - I use a paint brush to add paint vs I utilize a paint brush to clean lint out of a vent. Hope that helps, as your videos so awesome!

No roasting, that door looks sweet AF, and the locking system is inspired. Awesome work Eric.

You make a good Job , well done . Greetings from Germany.

that hexagon trick was really cool, very mathematical!
