We have developed a broad range of smoke and fire bases to sustitute the GW stick. Here a small guide how to paint it, full of small tricks that will help you to paint all kind of smoke and fire Fx.
We are going to follow the paintig of 2 bases and fire thrusters of this Orlocks.
Looking around in internet for good transparent/semi translucent filament, We found this brand. All the cheap brands we tried are decent, but we wanted something better for some fx. This time we tested this “Premium” Pla.
This Czech manufacturer have a broad range of pla, abs, nylon etc. In this case we are focus in their line of Crystal Clear Pla.
For this second part I’m sketching all the basic color with the airbrush ( I’m an airbrush maniac, but you can use a brush) and highlighting both the blazing hot and smokey dark parts of the explosion.
Once I’ve white primed the parts where I don´t want the light to go through, I made a first red coat over the 90% of the explosion.
Hi guyz! How are the holiday’s treating you? For the next few posts we will explain the process we go through to create one of the Epic Fx that will be the core of our fast approaching Kickstarter!
In this first post we’ll be covering the lighting part and the first steps of the painting, so let’s do it!
It’s crazy how many different filament you can find on the market. Solid or transparent colors, different textures, varied lengths, brands, and prices depending on whether you are buying it from America, Europe, Asia or Wakanda. And as always, is up to you to choose the best deal for YOU.
On this occasion we want to talk about the brand we use almost everytime.
Enotepad is a cheap and medium quality filament. We print all the BattleFx bundles with it. We’ve tested a wide range of filaments, and this one has a good quality/price ratio. You’ll easily find 1kg/1.75 mm for 15 or 17€. Enotepad has a good saturation in comparison to the rest of lowcost filaments, specially red and green colors. Depending on the color we set the printer to keep it between 200 and 210 degrees.
Since there’s a wide variety of wargames on the market, we have developed all kind of FX. This time, I’m sharing two water FX for your naval battles or close to water skirmishes!
It has the widest range of destruction effects and shooting effects: Muzzles Flashes – Missile Pods – Curved Missiles – Morter – Stylised Morter – Residual Smoke – Plum Smoke – Floor Smoke – Trusters
It's a mix, weapon and scenography effects: Tank Fires – Barrels with FX – Sci-fi Barrier – Orbital Attack – Grenade Explosion – Bomb Explosion – Battleship Attack – Smoke Shell – Flamer – Sci-fi Weapons
