EPIC MINIATURES PATREON: https://bit.ly/EpicPatreon EPIC MINIATURES MYMINIFACTORY: https://bit.ly/EpicMyminifactory Thank you so much to anyone who goes to check these guys out and helps support the channel :) City Tiles are one of those things that makes me really excited to make terrain for D&D. The realistic look you can achieve with these kinds of tiles, as opposed to flat, shiny printed battlemats is part of what really sold me on making my own terrain! Battlemats are ok as a starter, but they never inspired me, and always felt (to me!) like it was boiling a cool D&D scene down to a very basic level 😕 They just didn't have enough texture, height and detail. Making my own means I can control how big the tiles are, where they come apart, what accessories I can add and where as well as how easy it is to add details like dirt, puddles and so on. This is the sort of thing where its actually harder to do it with a product you buy, because they were designed with a specific system in mind, and if you don't like that system or only want one part of it....tough. You get the same as everyone else. Or you take back control and make your own 😁 ⚔️ SUPPORT BY JOINING THE ARCHIVE ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/RPArchive 🛠️ SUPPORT BY BUYING EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS: http://bit.ly/RPEquipment Everything I use should be linked on the equipment list above, so it's also a library of where to find stuff… THE FREE TEMPLATES: https://www.patreon.com/posts/57435258 THE FREE FOLLOW UP LAMPPOST VIDEO: https://youtu.be/HVXd990bmG0 THE MAGNETIC INTERIOR WALLS BONUS VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-video-and-55873370 THE CITY TILES EXTENDED GALLERY BONUS VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/posts/city-tiles-bonus-57503125 Other publicly FREE stuff on my Patreon: https://bit.ly/PublicPatreonList 🔔 Subscribe and click the bell for more D&D terrain! 👍 If you found this helpful, help me out and like the video up there!
