Rivers Don't Go On Top - Modular Lakes, Rivers, and Coastlines!

EPIC MINIATURES PATREON: https://bit.ly/EpicPatreonJan EPIC MINIATURES MYMINIFACTORY: https://bit.ly/EpicMMFJan Water tiles and terrain are one of the most highly used types because water appears in almost any environment, whether its as rivers, lakes, ponds or coasts! My problem is, the versions that already exist, that you can buy or make, don’t really give the kind of modular flexibility or realistic look I want from my tiles 😕 So, I designed my own! These tiles not only place under the terrain, rather than defying physics on top as most river terrain seems to… They also can be used as any kind of water, at any width. You can have a narrow or wide river, that can also be your coastline or lakes, saving you making more terrain to show those locations 😁 Not only that, I wanted the tiles to blend seamlessly with tiles from any environment, so unlike a lot of existing water terrain, these can be used seamlessly in grassland, cities, mountains, caves, forests, villages or even volcanic regions! This kind of thing is all but impossible to do with depth and detail by buying something - hence why I put together this guide on how to MAKE it - with variants for any budget. ⚔️ 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) CHEAP HOBBY SUPPLIES GUIDE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-to-get-hobby-60967033 THE (FREE) CHEAP RESIN SHORTCUT LINKS (BOTTOM OF THE PAGE): https://rparchive.wixsite.com/rparchive/rawmaterials THE FREE TEMPLATES: https://www.patreon.com/posts/61269642 THE CORNER TILES BONUS VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/posts/water-tile-and-61156300 THE MAGNETIC INTERIOR WALLS BONUS VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-video-and-55873370 THE CHEAP RESIN ALTERNATIVE EXPERIMENTS BONUS VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/posts/resin-bonus-61228861 Other publicly free stuff on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/RPArchive?filters[is_public]=true&filters[tag]=Downloads Luke's cheap water effects video (clearfix): https://youtu.be/uWRRs8-ytrU 🔔 Subscribe and click the bell for more D&D terrain! 👍 If you found this helpful, help me out and like the video up there!
