My favourite way to start a new campaign is with a bit of a mystery that leads to some sort of evil cult. In this video I use XPS foam to craft an epic set piece to be used for an end of session encounter. Something to wow players and have replay-ability value.

I have always loved using terrain pieces to store miniatures. All my former PCs hang out in the bar scene on my shelf along with the mushroom guys.

It’s great to see you keep your builds approachable for every level of builder. Eventhough you have years of experience, your videos give that sense of: “I could do that. I should give that a try.”

I really love the effects you used to create an evil battleground for miniatures. I always struggle in my own story builds to create just the right effect I need to portray a specific scene. So thank you for making my miniature world a little less struggle and more effective. I appreciate it very much 😊

Thinking of building this and using it to display my 1977 star wars figures. Arranged to mimic the medal ceremony in the closing scene.

I'd have put the candles near the rises of the steps to leave where you put them free for minis. Might also have made the candlelight easier to depict.

Wicked sir. I'll be sharing this in my Verrotwood groups

Sick. Gave me crazy Nyarlathotep cultist vibes. I could see a group of investigators battling their way up the stairs, shooting and hacking insane cultists as they go, all in a vain attempt to stop the summoning of an avatar of the dark god. Only for the horror to manifest at the top of the stairs, represented by a cool, gore painted mini.

Always an inspiration. Not sure my wife would appreciate it as a centre piece on the coffee table when our friends are over for drinks !!

I found that the easiest and best result with blood effects and spatter is to use Golden high flow acrylics color Alizarin Crimson Hue. You can paint it, spray it, flick it, blow it, or stipple it. Works great with some texture paste or fake snow to make chunky body scraps too. Enjoy! And thank you for making these videos, you help more than you know.

Looks like something from a heavy metal video from the 80s.

Great bit of terrain! Looks exactly like the sort of place where Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane would decide that enough was enough, and start killing cultists.
Great work!

Great video, honestly was creating an adventure in my head as you were making this, cultists are simple but so versatile thatvno matter the level they work so well as villains and this build is perfect for a lair, abandoned lair, ritual site, etc very awesome!! :)

Great build! i love the horn-shaped pieces in the back.

@DJTheMetalheadMercenary 3 years ago

That's siiiiiiick!!! 🤘

I love a good centre piece in a game. Great work!

Honestly, I think the idea of larger steps can work for something like this outside of just playability, like they were designed for some eldritch beast with long spindly legs, or for a hulking skeletal lich that once used this altar for its own means. Awesome work as always, Jeremy!
