At some point, most D&D campaigns or wargamers will have use for fire markers, a wall of fire or some way to show burning buildings - So I set out to make my own unique version of these crafting staples, with my usual modular twist.
Some of the inspiration for these is absolutely drawn from Black Magic Craft's fire and smoke markers ( • EASY 🔥Fire & Smoke Mar... ), but I hope my…modifications give them some solid added value whether you play D&D, 40k or something else!
Come to think of it, the blue options would be great for plasma fires or tau battles…
These are all designed to be used effectively with dungeon tiles, and fit nicely on a 3" tile system, or even a 2" one if you're ok without a gap.
The Wall of fire can also be made as a circular version using the same techniques, if you want one for that shape specifically and prefer it over angling the straight sections - Which may be something I do later…

So how would you guys use the colour changing ability in your games? would you use an LED for this even if you usually wouldn't use them? As always I'll be trying to answer questions as soon as I can, so feel free to ask :) SCENIC SEALANT You can make this a few ways, I show some more in the modular overgrown accessories video involving pva glue and varnish or matte medium, but these days I use: 1 part Mod podge 5 parts water I'm constantly playing with this and learning more, I'm probably going to do a full video on sealing terrain at some point :) CHARCOAL TEXTURE Even once sealed, some of these might be a little loose - I found it was a good idea to give each piece a handling and let the loose bits fall off, then cover up any gaps if needed with some more of the fine filtered charcoal dust before the final sealant layer. I also gave the white ash another layer after sealing because the sealing darkens it down a bit - but ash is quite good at staying attached even without spray, so an extra layer over the top isn't a problem. It also gives the piece more variety of contrast! BURNING BUILDING CARD DIMENSIONS 3/4" tall 5/8" wide

These will give the firebug in my group a great amount of fun. Usually a Fireball spell makes damage and thats it. With the fire markers i can have those spells have a real Impact! Literally. Since the Wall pieces are modular as well, i will Just pull out a Wall piece and place a burning rubble Marker there!

@RPArchiveOfficial 3 года назад

Exactly! 😁

@MarushiaDark316 Год назад

Since you don't have an ice and snow set yet, the wall of fire pieces could serve as ice pillars if you paint them blue instead of black and don't put LEDs inside. Might also be a decent way to do icicles too. :)

@Reboot153 2 года назад

@3:52 An alternate option would be to use heat shrink tubing. I dont know what the cost/speed/ease of use aspects would be vs using hot glue to get the same result. I just know that I typically burn myself with a hot glue gun and being able to use normal electrical heat shrink tubing would work just as well.

@RPArchiveOfficial 2 года назад

I found the heat shrink wouldn't shrink thin enough, I did try :)

@leobezemer3713 3 года назад

Hey Matt, for the rooftop fires I think Magnets would be a fine solution. Either glued underneath your rooftiles or just use two stronger magnets, place one under the rooftile and one at the bottom of the fire and just let magnetism do it's job. But this depends slightly on how thick your roofiltes are. I think this last option would work on the tile you've shown in the video here.

@RPArchiveOfficial 3 года назад

Pretty close to the plan! basically I would make a roof tile with hollow space inside the fire to place the LEDS, then the roof tile connects to the roof itself like all the others :)

You can also use cotton balls to make your smoke. I've pulled the cotton ball into the shape I needed, then sprayed it with some diluted pva glue to give the cotton a sturdy medium to work with, then painted them with either airbrush or dry brush with red closer to the light then painted shades of gray to black towards the upper portion of the cotton. Then using hot glue or super glue to the base around the led lights or model train grain of wheat lights.

@RPArchiveOfficial 3 года назад

Oh I know, it was definitely an alternative option 😅

@@RPArchiveOfficial We would always use the big cotton stuffing you get in pill bottles to make our campfires, bonfires or torch smoke, etc.

I tought LED needs at least a little resistor even with such small battery :o

@RPArchiveOfficial 3 года назад

Basically from what I understand these little batteries and LEDS have just enough resistance built in to allow you to use them straight together :) Disclaimer: I am not an electrical expert, just a hobbyist trying things out and researching as best I can 😅

@sonicexpert986 3 года назад

And to think I paid for 3d printed resin fire walls that I painted... these look so cool! It's got me thinking, I could hollow out the wall since it's 1inch thick and add an LED just for the hell of it...

@RPArchiveOfficial 3 года назад

That would be my plan - a lot easier with the smaller grippy led I showed too, less to hollow out 😅

Craft the lights or... just purchase cheap lights that have a multi-color feature and remote. Sometimes it's easier versus cheaper, but when easier is still pretty inexpensive... I chose easier for more crafting time... ... but to each their own.

@RPArchiveOfficial 3 года назад

That's also an option, but they're often larger - hence why I did this :)

@a_rabidnun9817 3 года назад

I am going to be that guy because I must have missed it in the video, but where do you typically buy the LED's from? Especially the ones that flicker. I know that in the states they are easy to find the candles in dollar stores, but in France they are not so easy or cheap. Thanks and BTW this video is great. Especially how to create the simple replaceable LED "throwers". Awesome idea.

@michaelshort1411 3 года назад

I use the used medicine cups that come with certain medicine bottles like from Nyquil, Robitussin or Immodium to make my markers. But it's gotten harder to find multi color LEDs now that Radio Shack went out of business. And most dollar stores only carry the white LEDs tea lights. So I may have to go back using a trick I learned 25 yrs ago when I did model train villages before they had multicolored lights. You thin out some enamel paint with a lil bit of paint thinner and lightly brush on a coat or two over the light bulb until you get the desired look you want for LEDs dont give off that much heat do you wont have to worry about it burning the paint on the light to get the color effect you want. What I did for my black burned ground rather than using real charcoal I use black sand that you can pick up at a dollar store in the floral sections for home decor they use it to pour in the bottom of a vase. I even found some red sand and gravel that I added to my bases to give the look of hot burning embers scattered around in few places so they aren't in just one spot. But before adding the red sand if I want to tone down the bright shiney black sand I either cover it with matte mod podge or spray on a matte finish then glue on some of my red sand and gravel for those are shiney to give them the bright hot look of the embers

I'm thinking about making standing candles using leds. Maybe you could show us how...??? :D :D :D

@RPArchiveOfficial 3 года назад

Like, for a mini table? My first thought would be use a 1225 battery as the candle holder and work a 1mm led wire around it somehow... But the holder would be comically oversized 😂 If you really wanted to, your best bet is 1mm LEDS with the magnet under the table, and have them sealed in place. Not my style, but it should work :)

@maxbrouwer95 3 года назад

@@RPArchiveOfficial Thanks for the response and advice! Love your videos (made some tables and magnetic books of my own), did not expect a response :D I was thinking more of a floor standing candle holder (don't know the proper name). It might be possible to create a base from the battery and use the 'wires' of the LEDs to give it a wrought iron look

@RPArchiveOfficial 3 года назад

Ah! Actually that would be much easier, though it depends how many candles you want as each would need it's own 1mm led :) You could use hollow styrene tube for the main pole though, and run the wires through it to a battery at the base...
