Welcome to dakka.

head over to the army lists and tactics forums for help.

kk ,thanks guys

You into WHFB or 40K? looks like 40k with the marines

Yes,the chaos space marines are the ones i decided to go with.

sorry i didnt give a very descriptive intruduction

I was wondering what kind of puddy/molding clay would i use to make things like cloaks and sculptures out of?

If anyone has any tips on it plaese do tell.

Welcome,and Im sure you'll find all you need here!

Oh and you'll use green stuff to sculpt cloaks and such.

The Green stuff is a 2 part epoxy putty that turns green when mixed properly. I'm relatively new here and I must say I've never been to a more friendly and helpful community. Welcome!

Welcome to dakka


best moulding putty ive found is green stuff from games workshop, allways use it.

if your making cloaks / robes or hoods then there is a quick and easy way:

cut a piece of thick paper to the shape of the desired item, dip it in watered down PVA glue, then apply it to the model, use tweasers to shape it however you want.
once its dry give it a coat of slightly thicker PVA + water and let that dry, it looks great and its simple

WELCOME TO DAKKA!

thank

two things firstly hello secondly use millupt(milliput) and thirly not being rude(well at least not trying to be)i thaught you were about 10 years old no offenc

If you are going to tell people how to use the forum, first spell correctly and use proper grammar and second pay attention to the date of the original post as it was made over a month ago.

Yes, please.

Lets hope that "solidus" has long since been made to feel welcome here.

Also, any time you start to type "Not to be rude but...", well, that's probably a good reason to STOP typing as odds are, you're going to say something rude and/or inappropriate.
