No Smoke without Fire from Dream Pod 9
July 5, 2012 by brennon
If you're looking for a way to signify the damage done to your vehicles on the battlefield then some Smoke & Fire tokens from Dream Pod 9 might just do the trick. Check out the pre-painted pair below...
That's some good looking smoke. It has that effect of billowing oil fires like you see in the films. You don't have to only use them for Heavy Gear either as markers like this are good across ranges and systems.
Will you pick them up to signify your doomed units?
Not sure I’d get these even though being pre-painted saves time, since you could get a similar effect with some cotton or steel wool and a mix of red/yellow/black paint.
I have experimented with making this kind of stuff quite a bit and it’s not easy to get good results.
Really liking the fact these are pre painted though (time savers are a must for me these days lol)
The other thing about this, is that they should in theory scale nicely with all the other games. as a) its fire and b) HG uses an interesting scale where gears are about the size of a space marine etc…
Must see if we can see these in the flesh!
What I use is whipped cream in a can. It comes out surprisingly good and tastes even better 😛
