Creating tents for you games of Warhammer Skirmish is really simple. Presented here are two techniques that produce very nice results. The first example uses a paper template to allow you to make quick and easy tents. If you're pressed for time, this is the solution for you! The second is a little more intricate, using bits of balsa wood, toothpicks and canvas, to create a very convincing sleeping structure.
Draw up a template for your tents. This should be taped to thin card and cut out using a hobby knife.
Fold the tent along the dotted lines and glue the tabs to the interior of the tent using white glue. Leave the tent to dry for about 20-30 minutes.
When the tent is dry, paint the entire tent Bleached Bone. Apply a wash of thinned down Snakebite Leather and highlight with Skull White. Paint an opening using Scorched Brown.
Create a framework for the tent by gluing together strips of balsa wood and attaching it to a small hill carved from foam.
Drape a piece of canvas (cut to fit and soaked in watered down wood glue) over the framework and stretch it using toothpicks pushed into the foam.

After the glue dries, cut the tooth picks leaving a stake. Base the foam, and paint the tent as desired. Feel free to add any bits for character.

As you can see, the tent to the right would work perfectly for both the Assassin! and Civil War scenarios, but you could use them for most any tabletop. Try making a small campfire or a few snoozing sentries to complete your collection.
