Cheapest, Most Effective Way To Robe Marines?


Recommended Posts

Other than buying 30 pounds of green stuff or spending $33 for 5 robed marines 40 times, I'm wondering if anyone else has found alternative means of dressing their marines to kill. I've done a search for "dark angels robe conversion" and all I've found is mostly guides on how to green stuff them or 'deals' on Company Veteran Squad bits. So depressing...

Here is a great tutorial from Brother Kage on how to make capes from TP

Looks like it would work for Robes as well

 

That tutorial is quite fascinating. It would be a great challenge to make full robes however, especially consistently across selected miniatures. I also have the worst luck with glue... Can't say how many miniatures and finger tips have ended up looking like desiccated skin flakes because of exploding super glue spouts... -_-

Honestly, I'd say a bit of Green Stuff is your best bet.  If you don't buy the GW brand, you can get a fairly large tube for around ten dollars. 

 

Here's a decent video tutorial on youtube (remove the spaces between the / and "watch"): https://www.youtube.com/   watch?v=HragjawDiLc

Those are indeed really cool! Like Mark 2 and Mark 3 armors with robes. That would be a great source for 30K Dark Angels! Not exactly what I'm looking for for 40K Dark Angels, but I suppose Dark Angels don't have to all be robed, only sergeants.

I've used this tut for a few of my CSMs. They have a combination of robes and capes.

I'll see if I can use the computer tomorrow to upload some pics.
