Does anyone have or know of any good tutorials on how to sculpt full body robes for space marines out of greenstuff?

This one is pretty simple.

Thanks I'll check it out and give it a try.

And don't forget the plastic robed DA - a whole lot less work than sculpting your own, although they do only come in a few poses. Robes are not easy to sculpt :(

I looked at them but it would be costly because I want my whole army to be robed and I only have a small income

This is my fav tutorial. Really easy to follow

He has multiple sculpting tutorials on there, one of which I remember as being robes/tabards/cloaks.

The DA Chapter sprue used to be £12 (dunno if it still is).

You could build ten space marines with bolters out of that, making it cheaper than a tactical squad... It also came with a whole host of other tidbits.

You get two of these:


If that's not good enough, do just say so and I'll go look for an awesome tutorial on sculpting jackets that I saw (you could use it to make DA-like robes on the lower part).

I think nowadays its only one set of those sprues.

EDIT: Confirmed- "This set contains one Dark Angels Chapter Upgrade Frame" via games-workshop.com

Lemme guess... the price has probably gone *up*.

Well, tbh, it was a glaring hole in their price range; something's wrong if GW is willingly letting you buy a full tactical squad for half the normal price.

It's like when Razorbacks were the same price as Rhinos...
