Veteran spearmen

Here are the completed veteran spearmen with their greenstuff cloaks. I did half the Pulp Figures pack, leaving the other half cloakless. Those will be dotted around other units so that their monopose nature is disguised.

The basic cloak shape added. The fur was done previously.

My initial view about the order to add the fur and body of the cloak was wrong, it turned out that adding a cloak after the fur was much more hassle than the other way around. The figure already stuck to a base and with a spear is the one where I did the cloak first. He definitely was the easiest to do, and looks the best. 

Second stage, bulking out a bit.

I added the basic shapes of the cloaks first, then once that had cured, I added the deeper folds with small sausages of greenstuff which were smoothed into the surface of the cloaks.

In the photos you can really see some roughness in the surface. The greenstuff was curing very fast and I was still working it when it was really a bit too hard. I could try some of the liquid greenstuff that GW sell to try and smooth them out. Or just trust to the painting to disguise any imperfections. Ah, well, it's all a learning experience.

And so to paint.
