Stage One: Print out the templates for the tents. Then glue or pin the template to a sheet of thin cardboard.

Using the solid lines on the template as a guide cut out the tent using your modelling knife and steel ruler. Be sure to cut out the holes for the tabs on the tents on the internal wall (small triangle bit).

Stage Two: Now it's time to score the dotted lines to create the folds for your tent. Using your steel ruler as a guide, apply light pressure as you run the modeling knife down the dotted line a couple of times. What you need to do is cut half-way through the cardsheet. This creates a score or fold and makes shaping the tents a little easier.

Now fold the tent together, making sure all the folds work and bend the correct way. If you have trouble folding any part of the tent's structure, just go back over it with your modeling knife, lightly re-scoring the fold.

Stage Three: Use the white glue to stick your tent together. Glue the main tent structure by putting glue on the tab and folding the tent.

Next glue the internal wall (the triangle bit) into place - it is placed a quarter the way into the main tent structure. You may have to hold the internal wall and tent structure together for a couple of minutes as the glue dries. Finally glue the doorway into place and put the tent to one side to dry.

When complete your tent should look like the picture on the right. Repeat the process for the rest of your tents. I strongly suggest you base the tents on a piece of card, as they are a little more fragile than normal buildings. For my bases I used plasti-card, but corrugated cardboard, foamcore or thick card would work just as well. Before you finish off your tents by painting them, add a little flock to the bases.

Finishing Off: Now it's time to paint your tents. When I came to this stage I hit a little problem. I wasn't sure what colour to paint the tent's, should I go for a patch-work, sewn together pattern? Or an off white colour? After a lot of thought and a little check on the internet (an invaluable resource) I decided on a dark brown leathery look.

To give the encampment the look I wanted I added some little pieces of detail - glyphs. These glyphs were drawn freehand on the tent panels using a black felt tip pen.

I found geometric patterns like checks and dags work very well. Opposite are some of the sketched practice glyphs that I used on the side of Kroot tents. You will notice I also went for basic interpretations of Kroot warriors, hounds and their weapons.

To finish off I drybrushed the base with Goblin Green for the grass. For worn down muddy areas, like around the tent entrances, I drybrushed in Snakebite Leather, followed by a layer of Bubonic Brown and then Bleached Bone. With this final touch added, the tents were finished.
