Looking for some Gauls wearing capes. Only seem to be able to find one or two within command packs. Ideas? |

what scale? I only do 28s and if that's what you are looking for, I don't really know of any either. At one point I was looking for Roman legionaries without armor but with cape. There is a great story in one of Caesar's books about the legions being caught without armor or shield and using their capes for makeshift defense. |

Real wargamers make their own from green stuff! ;-) Some of the Foundry WotG nekkid minis conveniently already have cloaks and it's quick to swap Gallic heads onto the Foundry bodies.

Yes, unfortunately me and green stuff is not a good mix. |

IIRC I rolled it out thin between layers of greased cling film, let it cure for a bit and then cut it up into squares. It wasn't too hard a job. |

Victrix are going to be releasing Gauls, having recently shown the first renders. I asked on Facebook and they confirmed that whilst they could nt fit capes on the main sprue, they are thinking of doing an add on sprue with capes. This allows Galatians!!! |

An alternative to green stuff could be the thin lead that used to be found on wine bottles. Or thick aluminium foil from takeaway cartons. |
