  • Hello cultists! I've gathered you all here to show you how to make smoke effects for your tabletop wargames. It's the first time I've tried this, but it was pretty easy and the results look pretty great for not a lot of effort - which is what I aim for here on the channel.

Of course, you can use the same ideas for any other game, if you want: Bolt Action, Kings of War and all the things.

    I like the idea of making smaller smoke clouds, and when a vehicle is destroyed you just put the stack on top of it, and it becomes part of the terrain.

    Hey, this was really fun to watch, a lot sharper and shorter then the last time, so a much appreciated evolution of the form. Only thing I would change is that last time you were much more expresive in the headshots, while now you just give a dead eye stare right into my very soul, so relax a bit if you can :). Even the music was fun and energetic, working well for the background. Sory I can't really support you on patreon right now, but I'd love to someday.

    Thank you for this. My friends and I have started to leave our vehicles on the table unless they explode. We treat the vehicles as terrain that give both cover or disrupts line of sight. I want to make some smoke like this for both the vehicles and where the vehicles have been.

    • @thecultofcrafting

    Nice video! I'm thinking to kitbash a Stompa and was wondering how to add some smoke from pipes (and maybe parts aflame). Considering also to place inside a small line of led christmas lights to light eyes and the like, now I'll leave some to be placed into the smoke.

    Smaller versions of these would be great for Bolt Action as vehicle damage markers. A small critique, I think some of the headshot cuts were a bit jarring, maybe save them just for the intro and outro? Otherwise another great video.

    The trick I use is you can just sculpt a flame with baking soda and liquid super glue then use washes or contrast paints to give a fire effect then gloss coat and it's beautiful

    Can you use white glue instead of the hot glue?

      @thecultofcrafting  ปีที่แล้ว

      I imagine so, yes. Gonna take lot longer since you have to wait for it to dry. It’s not a good idea to make bases out of white glue, though.

    Does anyone have experience with making coloured smoke? I've made these kinds of explosion plumes before but I want to try making a diorama with something like a red or blue smoke grenade going off. I'm worried that just spraying cotton wool red/blue will look like cotton candy instead of smoke.

    Can you make this a solid piece so you can put it in epoxy?

      Hmm. I haven't played around with epoxy resin that much, so I don't know. But I've seen people casting frail-looking flowers in resin, so maybe?
