Once again I must call on my fellow dakkites for help. But this time it is terrain related.
I was wondering if anyone could help me either find a good place to get sandbags or if anyone could maybe tell me how to make some good ones? I can do razorwire pretty well but my sandbags were crappy looking. ANd I am trying to avoid getting a bunch of Imperial guard heavy weapons teams just for the sandbags.

Thanks,

Well, Tamiya makes some in 1:35 (tady big though) and 1:48(these come in a set with a brick wall and something).

In games workshops how to make wargames terrain(I think) they show how to make them out of air drying clay/greenstuff. You could *ahem legally ahem* acquire a pdf of the book.

Tamiya and Italieri both do plastic 1/35 sandbags.

The Tamiya are hollow, the italieri are solid.

Pegasus hobbies do sandbag wall sections (straight and curved).

DAS (air drying clay) can be used rather easily.

It is an awesome book, however. If you're close to a GW go check it out, you may want to actually purchase it.

DAS is great. Roll out a little fat sausage, squish it flatter and score around the outside edge to make the seam and you are done. You can then drape it onto a sandbag wall, or make them individually.
