At our local auction last weekend, somebody sold a bag with several Games Workshop cloaks. I was too far back to see it, but the concept sounded interesting, and I went looking for cloaks/capes on the GW website, but couldn't find anything. Is this something they sell individually (a package of cloaks, not just one cloak), or would they have been leftovers from some character or warband or the other.

Leftovers. Some of the Empire cavalry, for example, has option for assembling different military orders. One order has cloaks, the other doesn't.

The old chaos warriors had a couple of cloaks too.

The Mordheim sprues had cloaks as well.

<Sigh> Well, it sounds like I can't just order some cloaks, but I will keep my eyes open at future auctions and sales.
Many thanks!

Check ebay or the online retailer Hoardobits.com. you can buy set of single types of pieces from Gw's plastic kits. Like you could buy all the heads from the empire great sword kit, just by themselves.

Also there's a number of 3rd party companies that make bits like heads and cloaks for gw's plastic to allow unique conversions.

Just search ebay for cloaks and you'll probably find a few types.

Perhaps someone has leftover or bits of Fireforge cloaks. They look fine with other companies miniatures.

I might have some of the mordheim cloaks. How many are you looking for?

GW did away with small, piecemeal item sales like this looooong time ago, they would rather you buy their entire kit (or kits) to get a few or a dozen of that one piece you want – it seems that business model makes them more money.

Hit eBay.

Mantic Games do dark elf cloaks in sets. But as others have pointed out, search for Games workshop 'bitz' .

I'm building a Viking army, and it would have been nice to add cloaks to some of the figures, just to create something different (without having to sculpt it myself). That being the case, I wasn't looking for any particular number. Well, I'll have to keep my eyes open for cloaks, and trot on over to the Mantic website.
