Learn how to use the Phantasmal Filters Pack 8x8 Eldritch Energies to create stunning tabletop effects with your Dwarven Forge terrain.
Quick Answer
Use the Phantasmal Filters Pack 8x8 Eldritch Energies to add translucent overlays on your Dwarven Forge Light Panels or Light Puck, creating atmospheric SFX for any tabletop scene.
Why Use Phantasmal Filters for Tabletop Effects
Phantasmal Filters are translucent overlays designed to work with Dwarven Forge lighting systems. They let you change the mood of a scene instantly without rebuilding your terrain. The Eldritch Energies pack includes patterns that suggest magical, otherworldly light sources.
These filters are 8x8 inches, making them a versatile table coverage option for medium to large builds. They sit atop Light Panels or the DF Light Puck, so you can experiment with different color and pattern combinations.
Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Phantasmal Filters
- Choose Your Light Source: Place a Dwarven Forge Light Panel or DF Light Puck on your table where you want the effect. Ensure it is turned off before handling the filter. Common mistake: using a filter on a hot light source. Let LEDs cool if they have been running.
- Select a Filter Pattern: Pick one of the Eldritch Energies overlays from the pack. Each pattern creates a different magical aura—test a few to see which fits your scene. Checkpoint: hold the filter up to a white light to preview the pattern before placing it.
- Position the Filter on the Light Source: Gently lay the filter directly on top of the Light Panel or Puck. Center it so the light shines evenly through the translucent areas. Common mistake: overlapping filters on the same panel can muddy the effect. Use one at a time for clarity.
- Turn On the Light and Adjust: Power on the light source and observe the effect. If using the Light Puck, you can rotate the filter to shift the pattern's alignment with your terrain. Checkpoint: dim ambient room lighting to make the filter effect pop on the table.
- Secure the Filter for Gameplay: If the filter shifts during play, place a thin transparent sheet (like a spare acrylic tile) on top to hold it flat without blocking the light. Common mistake: using heavy terrain pieces on top of the filter can crease it. Keep weight off the filter area.
