Crafting Tutorial - Fast & Cheap Realistic Flame & Explosions for Warhammer 40k, Necromunda, D&D

Фильм және анимация

In this video I show you how to use cheap LED tea lights and cotton balls to make some really cool flame, explosion, smoke and spell effects for all your favourite wargames. These look great when displaying and photographing your models on some of your terrain, or for representing lasting spells or other things in your games. Great for Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer, 40k, Horus Heresy, Age of Sigmar, Mordheim, Necromunda, Frostgrave etc.
