Hello there! Today I'll show you how I made a modular set of trenches for Warhammer 40.000, which, of course, can be used for Kill Team, Necromunda or whichever tabletop wargame you prefer. If you like The Imperial Guard AKA the Astra Militarum, this might appeal to you. Especially if you play Krieg!

This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you buy a product via one of the links, I’ll receive a small commission. This doesn’t cost you anything extra, so it’s a nice way for you to support the channel and it helps me to make more videos and not die from starvation.
Now, since you can’t get the same products all around the world, the links will in some cases be my best guess to what the nearest equivalent is, so make sure to do your own research before buying, so you’re sure you’re getting the product you want. If I'm entirely unsure which product to recommend, I won't list one.

Thanks for your support! I'll make sure the dark gods of crafting hear of this. 😊

    Nothing captures the horrors of war quite like the land itself being scoured by many shovels. Desperate men, in absence of ready cover against swift-flying death, gouge wounds into the earth for protection against their opposite numbers over no man's land. Excellent build.

    I feel like my extreme aversion to the sound of polystyrene cutting might be a real barrier to entry for terrain crafting
  • @Chris-vu4dw
    It must be tough competition with all the crafting channels popping up, but I really appreciate the no frills approach. Just easy to follow tutorials, and top notch terrain. Subscribed.
  • These are really good looking, would be awesome to see a commandbunker type tile where the top is removable so you can use them for play but also get the look of the full bunker if you want it
  • @MrTigroz
    That came out looking fantastic! The end I just pictured a couple of Deathkorps walking in and going "WOWw-" like the reveal at the end of every HGTV show
  • One of the nicest details I've ever seen was on my mates trench system. Same duck boards; the difference was he cut the legs off a Cadian, watered down same pallet he used for the muddy terrain and made hundreds of boot prints either side of the walk ways to make them look well travelled. A small detail but it looked amazing!
  • @DiggerPrints0814
    The corrugated cardboard as trench walls was a great idea and something for me to use in future builds.
  • It always impresses me when I see cool pieces like this. I wish I had the room to make buildings and terrain; I actually legitimately once built a fair sized ruin out of cardboard; sprue for rebar, used Pringles tubes and straws for pipes.
  • This method would work great for space hulk also, of course it would be hallways not trenches
  • My inner Krieger squealed with delight when I found this build. Thanks very much!
  • @wkool9430
    This is also ideal for making the hallways of a sprawling spaceship in endless reusable variations! Great video, very inspired to make something myself now
  • @rugbymeat
    Just looks stunning. I can never get over how all the elements combine to look so beautiful.
  • @snekek1564
    You should keep doing this eventually making a huge battlefield
  • @__queenard
    1:30 When he started drawing on the foam with the sharpie. I got chills from that sound
  • I definitely think the terrain mix really tied this all together the best. I've personally been struggling to find a good look for the sides of my trenches for awhile now and might end up stealing this method.
  • @MrSquark
    Such a great channel, really straightforward style and great looking terrain pieces
  • This is amazing I'm definitely gonna try it I would love some Krieger's in it
  • @RSBurgener
    I am super impressed! My ultimate project is my Iron Warriors army, and I have a long term goal of creating fortification terrain for them. I doubt I can equal the professional job you've done here, but it is definitely something to aspire to, worthy of the effort I've put into the models. Thanks for sharing this!
  • Very cool! Love the corrugated cardboard as currogated metal sheets that I also saw in another video where it was used as corrugated roofing.
