Are there any 28mm cloaks out there? I'm thinking of making fake Tanith for a Tomorrow's War project using Defiance Games marines, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on where to source cloaks that could conceivably be camo-cloaks. Cheers! |

I've heard of people scratchbuilding cloaks with glue-soaked tissue paper. Also of course you could flatten epoxy putty (Kneadatite / green stuff or similar) and make them that way. |

I have use the glue soaked tissue paper method, but I used a paper towel it was thicker so it had the body that I wanted. We just happend to have some that were a plain weave, no fancy bumbs or anything like that. |

Actually latex can be cut into handy pieces, primed, painted and coated into a scale like tarpaulin. Maybe it works for cloaks too. Don't waste your condoms but buy thin latex gloves. Maybe you already have some to use when you paint or airbrush? |

Also – if you have any of the GW Marauders they had spare cloaks on the sprues – I might have a few around |

There are plastic cloaks in the fireforge games mounted cavalry sets which are quite nice and useful. |

+1 on Victoria's cloaks as they are excellent, and the Fireforge cloaks are pretty good too, but not that good on DFG miniatures as they are pretty static while the cloaks are flowin'. |

Toilet seat wipes! Available from medical hygiene suppliers, these are a smooth tissue that is VERY strong. |

I've gathered the separate cloaks I could find on the miniatures market, and also the tips on making them on your own:

A fair number of heroclix have easily removed plastic cloaks. |
