In this video, we take a bottom up approach to building wargaming terrain. I start by identifying the key materials for the look I want to go with, and dive into creating and sourcing each one. After going through assembly and painting with some rust effects (chipping), we achieve the perfect industrial wargaming terrain.

Using these techniques, you can build similar terrain, and use your imagination to get different results. This terrain style works well for warhammer 40k, necromunda, gaslands or any other futuristic or cyperpunk setting.
