Oh hi! Didn't see you there. Today I'll show you how I make Ratling Snipers with camo cloaks from scratch for The Imperial Guard AKA The Astra Militarum in Warhammer 40,000. Add a bit of flock or perhaps little bits of twine and you got a ghillie suit!
The same technique can of course also be used for Space Marines or whatever miniatures you prefer.
As usual I'm focusing on Warhammer, but there's absolutely nothing stopping you from using the same concept for Kill Team, Necromunda or whichever tabletop wargame you prefer.

I couldn't find a link for gauze or cheesecloth that I feel confident in recommending. For gauze, make sure to get a non-elastic version. Be aware that cheesecloth comes in different grades. You probably want something in the lower end of the scale.

I knew a guy whose snipers consisted of a model railway bush with a lasgun poking out of it, and a flocked base with no mini.

If you have spare heads you can press them into the claybody of the model and leave the face a bit uncovered to add extra charisma!

@longle88 Год назад
this is the real stuff right here, i see people waste whole models by just making them completely obscured under camouflage anyway. Spare heads weapons, or arms are always available if you want to add it in to look more recognizable as a model.

Really cool idea! I personally would feel more comfortable with either a black or brown base coat on the mini before adding the camo net just to be extra sure the color of the clay doesn't show through.
@thecultofcrafting
@thecultofcrafting Год назад
The paint in the gauze will "paint" the base model, and if that isn't enough, you can just paint it through the net. 😉

Great video. I love total scratch builds. I've used gauze in a similar way to add camo scrim to standard guard helmets (ref pics of US army in Panama helped). Painted the gauze a few colors, then when it was dry cut it into rectangle strips and layered them on the helmet. Great way to add personality to infantry.

Depending on what kits you normally use, you might have a number of spare heads. Wargames Atlantic, for example, adds lots of head options to every kit, so there's inevitably spares left over. You could stick these items on the clay and leave that part exposed, if you want to sell the effect of being a person rather than a mound of animate turf (with a gun). (Although I've always liked the concept of "Sod Men", humanoids made of grass and soil. Animate turf wielding weapons would be frightening to behold on the battlefield.)

Thing is you would still have to cover most of the head to not go againsr the camo suit, we are hardwired to recognize face and shape of the body, even if it is only head, that's why wearing hats/helmets that change the shape of your head is the most important element

As a guy who's built a couple of ghillie suits, and used them to a point where a bird landed on me, I wondered why he would bother using _any_ real model parts, because if the sniper did his job right, _nothing_ would be recognizable as anything but a part of the landscape. Guess it just goes to show how people are different.😃

That looks perfect. I wouldn't have ever guessed that a green painted blob with a stick would make for such a believable sniper mini. Now I have this crazy idea stuck in my head of trying your method out in the 1/100 scale. Obviously, the gauze is gonna be too out of scale, so I'll need to figure out a substiture of some sort. But I'm positive I'll figure it out eventually...
@davesmith9844

@uriance88

And now to put some of those random bits I have handy to use. For cloth - in case you had enough bits to not need as shapeless a ghillie suit, I'll offer the 'secret' scale modellers have been using for years. facial tissue (any brand will do, just make sure it doesn't have a fancy texture ) brushed with watered down PVA - it's what we've used for years to make 'tarps, etc'.

the only thing missing is a scope sticking out the top of the gun.. you can go about this in alot of different ways, however i believe it would tie the entire model together. I remember getting tons of spare scopes with space marines.
