Upping your tabletop FX

[Nrthstar]

I just backed this, and can't wait to play games/shoot videos with it!  I did the basic black with the pipes as I didn't always want that tower on my table.  We were looking at cheapo fog machines, but thankfully I realized before it was too late they leave residue.  I would have been pissed cleaning models again that I haven't finished painting yet.

Looks very cool. I can see the Death Guard attacking out of that mist.

 

One thing comes to mind. Since this puts moisture into the air, do you have a plan to take it back out if needed? Maybe an inexpensive dehumidifier? While not a problem in cold or dry weather, I know how humid Virginia can get in the summer. Running that fog machine frequently might cause warping (Heresy!!!) to some types of terrain.

Playing in the massive shop we're in, we won't have a problem. A living room game might be an issue. The RGFX folks advised I buy two of their fog machine for a standard 6x4, but I'm just going to try 1. I want some fog, not a wall of it making minis hard to see. Also, I don't have that much free cash.

 

I do have work to do though, I need to find a new material to make a square base for all the plastic citadel terrain our shop has. Currently it's on hardened cardboard that will warp with the moisture.

Nice!

 

I'm pretty sure you can kitbash one from a selected piece of scenery and a terrarium or decorative ultrasound fogger to save money and customize it.

 

Probably a good idea to test the durability of unvarnished minis in this environment :)

I want it for my home-made ZM board, but I'm a bit hesitant about how my terrain would handle all that humidity... Lots of plaster and cardboard under the paint... :(

 

I already got a bunch of led details, so the fog would look superb I think.
