A great, practically free alternative to Necromunda Zone Mortalis, Warhammer Sector Imperialis, and Sector Mechanicus industrial bases using stuff you were probably just going to throw away!

I remember when GW had there terrain book and showed how to make things on the cheap. Like the deodorant speeder. I'm glad to you show people you don't have to spend heaps of money on bases and terrain

Good old days, eh? I saw one of those kit-bashed "OOP" deodorant speeders on eBay a few months ago, had a good giggle.

But on the other hand, being older and having to squeeze all the free time I can, I appreciate that the company has focused on convenience. Now I buy cool bases for troops, and spend my effort making custom bases for characters :)

I'll admit I'm a bit tired of the big companies serving up an endless line of products for us to buy and being old enough to remember the original old-skool DIY attitude that was ported over from historical wargaming this video really hits the mark. Thanks! The end results speak volumes and although I totally understand that many folks will find it easier to just buy the 'genuine' article I hope this inspires some to go DIY. I think your down-to-earth attitude really breaks down entry barriers so do please keep putting out such refreshing and useful stuff. I for one would be far more proud to have such bases under my minis, thanks for the inspiration folks, keep it coming!

Absalutely love your channel. I’ve been wargaming since 1976, yes I am ancient. I had a sports injury in 1986, that left me paralysed from shoulders down & wheelchair bound. I have been trying to perfect ways of painting, basing and gaming, with this handicap ever since. I’ve have been doing quite well really, but your simple painting techniques have revolutionised my painting skills and has helped me produce a not too bad finished model. I don’t game Sci-Fi or Fantasy much, so my models are historical 28mm figures. But just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work. Love it....👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful bases, I can’t believe they’re made out of packaging etc. The crazy part for me was seeing the bright blue and orange and thinking it looked garish then the wash going over the top and instantly finishing it off. Subscribed! Keep up the good work!!
