Trying to go back and comment on all your videos, because I believe that it helps the channel with KZhead's algorithms. Plus great video.
Replying to your comment to further the KZhead algorithm
Get this man a medal
Don't forget to watch all the way through to the end. I usually start a playlist and just let it roll while I'm crafting
Great idea from five years ago!
Watching in 2019: “oh this is cool. Very cheap materials. Just a little toilet paper? Awesome!” Watching in 2020: “WHAT. YOU DARE WASTE SUCH A NECESSITY?!”
More D&D players need to learn from wargaming like this. I've used several for BattleTech.
HINT: Its cheaper and often easier to just gut your polyester fluff out of an old pillow (or a cheap new one if you must). Obviously don't cut up your best quality one, but you can pick up a shitty cheap pillow for $5 and under at places like walmart or ikea if you don't have a spare laying around already. Those poly-fill bags can be kind of pricey because they are aimed at hobbyists and quilters, but the material is no different then what you find in a synthetic filled pillow.
I made one of these in about 5 minutes and was so pleased, I made six more! Amazingly easy and so cool!
Dang, I've been looking for a simple, versatile build to add a little wow factor to my otherwise very bland but functional tabletop (I play at a store, so a bunch of big cool builds just aren't practical to transport), and this looks like the perfect build. The fact that it's so affordable makes it even better. Can't wait to see the looks on my player's faces when I bust these out.
Super cool intro. Even the stills make you believe the fires rage on!
you could use the multicolored lights for a more magical looking fire
That's a great idea! I've been thinking about making a gas cloud for X-WING using this method but I don't want black. Do you think a lighter color paint would also work or would the opacity of any paint result in the same shadow effect?
My wife and I have JUST started making stuff. Your videos are a goldmine for ideas and help. THANK YOU!
Not a new idea, but the execution was flawless. WELL DONE!
Flawless victory?

43 seconds in. These are the best I've ever seen. Imagine how these look on the shelf just as they are at the 42-second mark. Wow, I'm doing this!!!!! Thanks man, You bring joy to life!!
That's so easy and really great. For some reason I always thought fire markers with light would be super complex. Thanks for making this.
We did start the fire, its been burning since my modular table started turning
Damn you....damn you for putting that awesome song in my head!!!!!
Best table top making channel by far!
Your introductions, and the overall production quality keeps going from strength to strength... another great video. Keep it up 😁
Thanks for noticing :)
I finally tried making these. Had the toilet paper bases out in the sun locked in a heated van for 4 hours maybe that wasn't enough, also I used tacky glue with water because I had no Elmer's so it was wrong in way too many levels hahaha. 5 out of 6 came out right, 3 of them were perfect (because the first method in the video is super simple and cool, the second one is too but harder to make). Anyways I'll probably try to make my next fire marker's base with foamular like the summon stones and the portals. Thanks for the tutorials 👍 they make my campaign glow with aesthetic
Very, very cool. I would have not thought about that. But even with some colorful LED lights you can make some spell casting markers. Thank you for that inspiration!!!
I love these more "dynamic" episodes where you take stuff outside on cam to spray it or show the trip to the store and the cars.
Yea, trying to make each step a little more interesting :)
You are on the right track, definately!
So glad I found this. I have been looking for a tutorial on how to make these ever since I saw them being used in a Warhammer AOS game and thought they would be cool objective markers. Thanks for putting up the vid dude, it really helps.
That bonfire was crisp man
Great idea. I think I'll add this to a 1/35 post apocalyptic diorama I'm planning!
I used the fire base idea to make the base of a magical portal and it worked so well!! Thank you for sharing!
Just tried this out today, love the results! Got myself a box of 12 flickering candles online for around $5, well worth it!
This is a great way to make military dioramas have a real look for ruins and battles thanks
You are a real life wizard. Thank you so much for sharing some of your secrets!
When I did dioramas and model trains in my earlier yrs. My friend and I would use the big cotton stuffing you get in medicine bottles. We would use hot glue or super glue to glue the cotton to our torches or campfire bases. Once dry we would sculpt the cotton to look like smoke then paint the cotton with airbrush or dry brush the colors of fire, then with a spray bottle with diluted pva glue. Then once dry add our tea light or model train grain of wheat bulbs which were slightly smaller than LEDs. You can even paint on a very thin coat of thinned out red paint like acrylic or enamel to a white bulb if you cant find color lights to give the light a more red light. It works since they dont generate enough heat to burn or melt the paint.
I know this is an old video, and I hope you still read these comments. But I would love to see more of these special effects videos. Maybe do a fog effect for aquatic terrain? 😊
Simple build but comes out so nice looking. Another great vid Jerome.
My mind is straight blown! I love this man, thank you so much. My wife already gives me "the look" when I go all in on something, or spend too much money on a mini. I'm always looking for decent, less costly options.
I love this build. It's given me so many ideas for other projects.
This was a awesome build- Thanks for doing this!
Made some. They came out great! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
That intro!!! 😍
These are fantastic. Great job. Super simple way to add an amazing dynamic.
Really love all ypur vids and tutorials. Im making a medieval city with a castle and every little thing i learn from your vids i put them on good use. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Finally got around to making my set of these a few days ago, thanks for the tutorial! They added a huge amount of immersion to the game!
Dremel in action! Been utilizing mine more and more. Great job as always Jeremy!
thank you so much for your suggestion i've already made them . Amazing smoke and lowcost
This was awesome! Cant wait to build mine!
Fire looks awesome. Going to be making some of those! Very cool.
Saw you on the terrain building subreddit today, and gotta say this looks like a really cool channel; loved this fire build since I could use it for so many different settings
Impressive realism! Top job.
Oh I'm absolutely using this
Those look awesome, best gire effect ive ever seen
Using this for buildings and piles like these, constructing a fire city mordheim terrain, we are going thru some old school mordheim games!! Love all your builds!!
Veryyy nice !! I really like the little introductions you've been making for your videos ... nice project again !! Cant wait for the next friday !!
I'm having a ton of fun starting videos this way....I think I'm onto something!
That is fantastic Mate, cant wait to implement some of this into my Dioramas.Thanks.
Sometimes you can find pillows at thrift stores that contain the same stuffing...which can be a lot cheaper than buying a bag of polyfill. I love this idea though...you make me want to build terrain!
Those look awesome! I can't wait to create some of my own.
They look fantastic
I've known about how to do this since i started using led tee light candles in cosplay flames, but it is nice to see your take on it
Very helpful, will use for school project
So simple yet so fantastic. I want to do an adventure that begs for this effect.
Wow, that was glorious!
Those are legitimately awesome!
I made 4 of these and used one today......lots of OHHH"s and AWWWW's!!! HUGE hit and added sooo so much to the feel of the scene. I wish I'd had these a year ago!
I shall be making some of these as soon as possible. Yes.
A classic. Well explained!
This is perfect. Going to use this to make a base for a fire elemental.
useful and inspiring ...exactly as you said.. thank you i need it in my life...
That is cool. Back when I played in the 90s we only had our imaginations to visualize the battles. It is so much nicer to have the models.
AMAZING!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
This looks awesome!!!! Totally making these this weekend
Thank you so much for this!
I AM SO EXCITED!!! I use all fire spells and these will make an amazing visual of my enemies burning ! I’m thinking I’m going to add a miniature to some of the bases so it looks like someone has been set on fire!
Very cool and cheap build thanks for showing us the way
Wow that was super cool, quick guide
The black toilet paper ones look like a magma zone lava tube before adding the wood which is kinda cool
DM Scotty!!! Guy changed my table top games.
Very nice! I saw Eric's Hobby Workshop fire effects which were great for the flamethrower/firebolt look and the toxic gases, but this has a cool burning rubble effect.
You can use the string lights normally used for stationary decor combined with polyester filling to make it look like an explosion just happened.
This is awesome!
I'm not into D&D but I build Gunplas and this is really helpful for a diorama I'm planning. Thanks, man. Subbed!
Wow, those really look great!
Whoa that's an excellent idea, I may make these because of how easy they are and how good they look! I'm starting to make our games look more impressive by making terrain and using 3D minis.
Nice job. I've seen a lot of these over the years and yours look the best.
Thanks!
Awesome great idea!
TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! THANX AGAIN.
Damn, that's clever. Love it.
Wow! Awesome job!😁
FINALLY!! this is perfect for the raid of greenest :D thank you so much for this
You're welcome :D
Thanks BMC.
I really enjoy the references all you guys make. You are referencing DMscotty and runehammer, dungeoncraft is referencing you, runehammer is referencing wyloch etc. Nice video, I will give the markers a shot soon!
Yea, the community is awesome that way. One of the reasons creators are able to flourish, it's a team thing not a competition.
This is really cool. I love it ♥️
Love this!
Only recently found your channel and I'm just beside myself: I just ran an encounter with buildings on fire!! If only I saw this a few weeks earlier!! Definitely going to use some dollar tree led candles to light up something else in the future.
Sweet dude thanks
Halloween time at the dollar store, so hopefully they have some tea lights and other fun things! I have been wanting to build these since this video first came out! Just now getting around to it, enjoyed watching this video the second time just as much as the first. Thank you for your wonderful channel!
Outstanding!
that´s awesome!
Awesome make bro!
Very cool looking.
Brilliant!😎👊
Your smoke markers are the best!
made those along time ago. glad i'm not the only one with this idea.
I think every terrain builder makes these at some point. They are a true classic.
Super awesome work.
Thanks :)
As always, awesome content, I know why I follow your channel :D
I love these!! I've made some in the past that I used variations of grey (for wood smoke) and black & darker greys (for oil smoke) but without the tealight. I will definitely be updating my process to use those in the future. Brilliant!!
The tea lights make all the difference!
Ingenious.
