Thanks for posting Grotkilla.

That's what happens when you are stuck with nothing to do for waaay too long. I just use cotton balls and dispense with the Michael Bay special effects.

**KingCracker**

usually i just flip the tanks over and they become terrain. but that was still pretty neat. i liked your vid on the magnets tho. i should consider doing that to my stuff

**typhus**

**RazorMind**

thanks for posting this, I love things like this that just make the game look cooler on the tabletop

For awhile I've been thinking of just putting some smoke generators in my vehicles. Simply turn them on and voila smoke!

Awesome idea. Consider it stolen...and maybe one step further. For a tank that explodes...maybe a small crater with the smoke in the middle. Make a few, one with the smoke in a crater, painter together so you can do a 'blast ring' effect, and one with just the smoke.

Great idea though, thanks for the vid. Oh..and nice shirt. I have many like it. It's mandatory to have those down in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

Yes, that would be cool seeming them incorporated into blast craters. And I've had evil thoughts about them with the Deffkoptas from the ABR set.

**Amen Brick**

a neutral smelling joss stick in the right place can work too.

nice but a little to over kill for me i think that all the extras like that make the game take longer and are anoying....ut thats just my 2 cents
