Does anyone know a good place to get tabards (like what Dire Avengers have hanging from their waists) that aren’t too pricey? I want to add them to my Ulthwé black guardians but the only ones I’ve found from Spellcrow are over £5 for only 10 of them (and I need 60!).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782588/10634626.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782588/10634626.page GMT
Roll some greenstuff, and cut to shape.

Not that I've tried it mysself, but it's what I'd do.

My advice way of doing it would be:

1) Mix GS and roll it out flat to the thickness you want the tabard to be; make sure you are using water or vaseline to stop it sticking to whatever you have rolled it out on.

2) Let the green stuff cure a little. Let it sit for somewhere in the range of 2-3 hours. By that point it will still be flexible and able to change shape, but it will hold a sharp edge better and will be MUCH easier to work with; you won't get fingerprints, and picking it up and putting it in place will be easy.

3) Once it's the right level of cured, take a hobby knife and cut your roller sheet into tabard-sized bits, then position on the model. You can use a little super glue to adhere it, or just wait until it's dry and pull it off an re-adhere it.


I find it is easiest for this sort of thing to not really think of it as 'sculpting' a tabard, but think of the greenstuff as a piece of fabric that will set hard. Just use your fingers to put length-ways folds in it and you'll have pretty convincing looking cloth for that scale and purpose. The big thing is to let the GS cure for a while before using it like hits. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782588/10634870.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782588/10634870.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782588/10635006.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782588/10635006.page GMT
Same can be done for capes and such.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782588/10635209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782588/10635209.page GMT
