Cloaks appear on all manner of miniatures from a Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Captain to an Dungeons and Dragons Elvish Rogue. There are many ways to paint them too and in this tutorial, we show you how to paint cloaks in three different ways. First up, a great way for beginners or speed painters, a dry brushing method that yields great results easily. Secondly, we have a 'classic' method, similar to how we used to paint cloaks when I was in the Hobby Team back in my Games Workshop days. Finally, a bit more of an 'advanced' method using the wet-blending technique, whicxh is not as difficult as you may think.
All the techniques shown here can be used on any miniature with a cloak that you want from your favourite games such as Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Star Wars Legion, Conquest, Dungeons and Dragons, Lord of the Rings and many, many more!
