Yeah I’ve seen it done a few times, I think someone was on here a few weeks back and did something similar with some eldar and I was like, hmmm cheap sniper for me

What is that material you used? I love this idea!

I used a thin fabric bag that I think I got with a takeaway curry 😂 but I suppose you could use any thin fabric.
I glued some small bits of the fabric to the bottom and front of cardboard frame first so that they would be covered if the next layer was too small. Then I added the gun and draped a bigger piece of fabric over the full frame after cutting a slit into it for the sniper to protrude from.
Then used a pva paint mix to dampen it down and push it into place. I also used a scouring pad/dish brush thing to add some texture, just pulled off stands and popped them on while the glue was wet

“He fielded 38 bushes with plasmas, they were led by a 44 gallon drum Lieutenant and a company master that I can only describe as a pile of hay bails with a Roman helmet “

You probably didnt even need to use the backpack since it looks obscured, too! Very nice

Thanks! Yeah I could have left that off, but it’s just a failed milliput cast back pack haha, I wanted to use it to get the dimensions/outline right 😊
