I've been thinking about some better looking terrain these days, for both RPG gaming and wargaming.

Probably nothing this elaborate (looks great but too impractical in terms of space).

Dwarven forge looks great but it's too expensive to get a lot of it. Terrainlinx look reasonable, but my foray into that was a disaster. Aerosol glue is not my friend. Dungeon tiles are underwhelming, tedious, and a pain to deal with.

Been recently looking at drunkens and dragons videos, and his new terrain looks really great, and he videos how he makes it.

Anybody have any good videos/articles/channels on the subject?

Any other store bought suggestions?

I do most of my terrain with heroscape pieces. It's kind of janky, and forces you into hexes, but keeps everything consistent, has just enough variety to make a setting change noticeable, and micky mousing a few detailed terrain pieces is easy since anything with a rough hex base will slot in easily.

I've considered getting some of that.

How is it in practice? Does it take forever and a day to assemble?

Is it crazy expensive? It seems like a ton of moving parts.

Gonna start making a simple building this weekend. I'm a little nervous though, haven't really done anything like this before, and the bricks I've made to make a mold out of don't fit together quite right. Am I just being a perfectionist?

Pic related, sort of the thing I want to go for.

No Quarter has a bunch of articles about making Warmachine themed terrain pieces, usually buildings.

I've also heard good things about those Hirst molds for terrain building, which might be nice if you're on a budget.
