[@funoff3207]

No love for UK / EU

[@danielgarlin6746]

Trying to go back and comment on all your videos, because I believe that it helps the channel with KZbin's algorithms. Plus great video.

[@prestonbrower762]

Replying to your comment to further the KZbin algorithm

[@NerdsIAB]

Get this man a medal

[@JasonOlivo]

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

[@toboraton]

Great idea from five years ago!

[@JupiKitten]

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.

[@h347h]

More D&D players need to learn from wargaming like this. I've used several for BattleTech.

[@wafflecopter208]

you could use the multicolored lights for a more magical looking fire

[@thewingett]

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?

[@deva3250]

Seen this Video years ago, and still Crafting them from time time in different shapes, colors, lights etc.

[@Nattybug01]

I made one of these in about 5 minutes and was so pleased, I made six more! Amazingly easy and so cool!

[@zakhoskins6404]

Not a new idea, but the execution was flawless. WELL DONE!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Flawless victory?

[@zakhoskins6404]

[@n.m.dimmick194]

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.

[@Zacknafin]

Super cool intro. Even the stills make you believe the fires rage on!

[@michaelshort1411]

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.

[@MacDaddyTito]

My wife and I have JUST started making stuff. Your videos are a goldmine for ideas and help. THANK YOU!

[@johneberts2918]

This is a great way to make military dioramas have a real look for ruins and battles thanks

[@howardnenno1806]

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.

[@Ashjar76]

Your introductions, and the overall production quality keeps going from strength to strength... another great video. Keep it up 😁

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Thanks for noticing :)

[@nowthisnamestaken]

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!!

[@readinglennon8254]

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

[@uchihasasuke191]

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? 😊

[@beautysyx]

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!

[@marclytle644]

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.

[@p11_studios]

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?!”

[@killakatze]

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!!!

[@sjdesign6575]

We did start the fire, its been burning since my modular table started turning

[@kevynhansyn2902]

Damn you....damn you for putting that awesome song in my head!!!!!

[@hushmush8419]

The black toilet paper ones look like a magma zone lava tube before adding the wood which is kinda cool

[@owenoulton9312]

Great idea. I think I'll add this to a 1/35 post apocalyptic diorama I'm planning!

[@andysherbo6972]

This is perfect. Going to use this to make a base for a fire elemental.

[@Nat1videos]

Best table top making channel by far!

[@ansmith2588]

I used the fire base idea to make the base of a magical portal and it worked so well!! Thank you for sharing!

[@jooshjooshministhetics8048]

Just tried this out today, love the results! Got myself a box of 12 flickering candles online for around $5, well worth it!

[@SenetTheSnek]

You can use the string lights normally used for stationary decor combined with polyester filling to make it look like an explosion just happened.

[@maddnd9721]

That bonfire was crisp man

[@robertgallentine1095]

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.

[@redwillow1853]

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.

[@thebritishempire8754]

Good for ww2 dioramas, too. I make aircraft and ship dioramas and if you paint them and place them correctly, they look great.

[@KaraMedema]

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!

[@dnl19-b5y]

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!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Yea, the community is awesome that way. One of the reasons creators are able to flourish, it's a team thing not a competition.

[@werewolf74]

You could make a frame and then put the multicolor tea light near the bottom of the frame and fill the frame with fiber but glue it so that it's pressed flat and it could be a magical portal.

[@cavemanworkshop]

Awesome new take on a classic terrain piece for games! I really believe we are in a Renaissance of this hobby thanks to content providers like Black Magic Craft, Scotty, Wyloch, and others. Thanks again for the inspiration!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I'd like to think this statement is true :) I feel like we are just seeing the beginning of a huge explosion in tabletop rpgs.

[@rafaelsimon2917]

Veryyy nice !! I really like the little introductions you've been making for your videos ... nice project again !! Cant wait for the next friday !!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I'm having a ton of fun starting videos this way....I think I'm onto something!

[@hrb9679]

You are a real life wizard. Thank you so much for sharing some of your secrets!

[@kirkgeier417]

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.

[@LiliaArmoury]

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

[@jbbroll1888]

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!!

[@lisaenglert3202]

Fire looks awesome. Going to be making some of those! Very cool.

[@Sol728]

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.

[@vicentebrarosr.42]

Impressive realism! Top job.

[@guygooey]

These are fantastic. Great job. Super simple way to add an amazing dynamic.

[@adammeney8841]

Fantastic. I bought two of these for 10 uk pounds. Now I feel like a chump. Ill give this one a shot for sure. I look within my capability.

[@aprilbooth7653]

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!

[@andreasdesigns]

So simple yet so fantastic. I want to do an adventure that begs for this effect.

[@goretoriumgaming8600]

Oh I'm absolutely using this

[@Scott_A]

They look fantastic

[@rezende.leo.anoder]

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.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Yea, trying to make each step a little more interesting :)

[@rezende.leo.anoder]

You are on the right track, definately!

[@InquisitorKryptman]

Very helpful, will use for school project

[@garnermcculloch2778]

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!

[@smthcrptc]

I know this is somewhat late to comment, but you could add a drybrushing of red to make the pile look like coals

[@LadyBlackButler]

This could be awesome for dioramas 😱

[@newtype5005]

I'm not into D&D but I build Gunplas and this is really helpful for a diorama I'm planning. Thanks, man. Subbed!

[@Sirdeathvids]

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.

[@benbowmen6650]

You should have did a quick lightbrush of fluorescent red or something of that sort to make a red Coal type of look to the base of the fire

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Simple build but comes out so nice looking. Another great vid Jerome.

[@ricardorecto9332]

useful and inspiring ...exactly as you said.. thank you i need it in my life...

[@kchalms]

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.

[@hazimesahe]

Going back to this because I want to make a good looking explosion effect to a ruined city diorama

[@GldnMnky]

I love this build. It's given me so many ideas for other projects.

[@claylewis8233]

Great video! Seems like you could make spell effects, like wall of fire or flaming sphere with a version of these. Anyone done that?

[@kenneththibodeaux4826]

Man you ain’t lying I started this this morning and was done by 11am it’s now 530pm and it still wet!! Haha keep up the good work and merry Christmas

[@jaskco1]

Wow that was super cool, quick guide

[@jasonmacias8425]

This was awesome! Cant wait to build mine!

[@chang1910]

wow!!! totally putting this on my list if project to do.. great and simple, i should be able to pull off :)

[@angelfalcon2885]

Dam know I now way they call it black magic craf .can you show us how to make some Japanese building or chanies tempels😎keep craftie thank bro

[@thebrewgeek]

Good stuff! I few weeks ago I lucked out and found eight packs of those tea lights in a bag for a dollar. I fully expected them to have dead batteries, but nope, they work great. Time to craft on.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

That's one hell of a good deal.

[@Jan_Tabletop]

A classic. Well explained!

[@kylewilliam487]

Made these for my 40k battles. Its nice to see a land raider burning after my Death Guard destroys it with plague!

[@Starolfr]

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!!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

The tea lights make all the difference!

[@bladderpains]

I shall be making some of these as soon as possible. Yes.

[@TpondT]

thank you so much for your suggestion i've already made them . Amazing smoke and lowcost

[@MegaKemper]

Nice job. I've seen a lot of these over the years and yours look the best.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Thanks!

[@bene.v.c4049]

That intro!!! 😍

[@ignaciogallarati7287]

Those look awesome, best gire effect ive ever seen

[@MechFoo]

Dremel in action! Been utilizing mine more and more. Great job as always Jeremy!

[@pokeman4738]

Very cool and cheap build thanks for showing us the way

[@janetcameron4652]

Thanks BMC.

[@shiftzero22]

Man I gotta learn to set the mood in a game like you.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

You just gotta start, it's pretty easy.

[@xSHAD0WENx]

made those along time ago. glad i'm not the only one with this idea.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I think every terrain builder makes these at some point. They are a true classic.

[@elysesmith8460]

Umm... These are amazing. 🔥🔥🔥

[@roncode1401]

Made some. They came out great! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@paddycarr9537]

That is fantastic Mate, cant wait to implement some of this into my Dioramas.Thanks.

[@tinaprice4948]

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!

[@williamharris1406]

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

[@sisnerosreunion5399]

Great job you make it look easy

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

That’s because it is easy!

[@ИльяКузнецов-м7ъ]

Уютные костры получились. Лайк.

[@Formul8ed]

I actually just made one of these to spice up my company's Christmas village display at the receptionists desk. I put it on top of the little fire department building. Took about 4 hours until someone finally noticed. 😂

[@MojoTheClown]

Damn, that's clever. Love it.

[@Forsak3nBreed1982]

DM Scotty!!! Guy changed my table top games.

[@julieannaClark]

Those are legitimately awesome!

[@dracosummoner]

Thank you so much for this!

[@BrianReichert]

I love your builds. Unfortunately, I don't have a game group that plays Table top RPGs so I have no excuses to build any of this. I'll just have to file it away for later.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I haven't been able to play or host an in person game in over 4 months. Like most people. And I don't plan on doing it any time soon either. You don't need that excuse to build. Just build if you want to build. In fact not building for games gives you more freedom to build whatever you want and not worry about "usability". Just build cool shit to display.

[@TonyJ1776]

Ingenious.

[@thomshavor5567]

This was a awesome build- Thanks for doing this!
