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.

The Cult of Crafting make tutorials and guides on how to make terrain (and the occasional miniature painting tutorial) for tabletop wargames by Games Workshop, like Warhammer 40,000 (40K), Kill Team, Necromunda and Age of Sigmar. Of course, you can use the same ideas for any other game, if you want: Bolt Action, Kings of War and all the things.

Awesome techniques! I’m brainstorming a plane crash hat for a music video and I’ve thought about using teddy bear stuffing. Seeing your techniques in action have helped me immensely!!

That was great! I was afraid of starting playing with the smoke but it looks very fun. I woud love to see how you would incorporate this into some larger build.

AYYYYEEEE YEAH! Ive seem alot of different ways of making these but ive never seen someone put a rod down the center! Im 100% going to be doing that from now on. All of mine dont have this and are a bit floppy. 11/10 video!!

Hi, I saw your video and it's just PERFECT, YOU TRANSMITTED THE EXPLOSION YOURSELF, AND IT's ALSO SO SIMPLE, I'm surprised why you don't have a couple of million subscribers yet, I wish you good luck with a lot of likes and views, and I subscribed and I advise many people because it's just impossible to skip some cool videos❤❤

"Also try not to burn your fingers", such saged advice, you've clearly seen me with a hot glue gun before.

@cyrusthevirus9878 Ай бұрын

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

when you first said hot glue base I scoffed but it turned out amazing! Geniously simple

That looks really good. I'll give it a try and scale them down to 6-8mm scale, I neede explosion markers for my Epic game this weekend.

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.

Thanks. Yeah, it's still a work in progress. Working more from a script this time and I was really focused on looking at the camera and not at the screen. 😂

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.

Yeah, I've always found it weird that vehicles just disappear. 😄

Nice and simple so you can fast build them, very nicely done. Love to see a tutorial for how to model Lightning (like force lightning) both think, thin and ultra thin...

Cool idea! 😃 Never done that before. Could probably do something with resin or hot glue. 🤔

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.

Great short and informative video, but do you know of a way to add a really light fog effect to miniature bases and terrain?

@thecultofcrafting 13 күн бұрын

Thanks! :-) No, nothing comes to mind.

@coolbeensify Жыл бұрын

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.

@thecultofcrafting Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I agree that it can be a bit jarring. I'm still trying to figure out how to go about it. :-)

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.

No, but cool idea!

@waynez78 11 ай бұрын

Can you use white glue instead of the hot glue?

@thecultofcrafting 11 ай бұрын

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.

@waynez78 11 ай бұрын

@@thecultofcrafting thanks! I already got a base with a model on top of a stand. I am thinking of using the cotton balls smoke effects to "hide" the stand.
