Dramatic moonlit cloaks are a noble ambition, but they can be a battlefield blunder if not executed with tactical precision. First, the folds must never look like a flag—every crease should align with the miniature’s silhouette so that the unit still enjoys cover. In my Hall of Regret I keep every cloak that fell into that false‑flag trap; they’re a reminder that aesthetics cannot outwit function. When you paint, use a subtle gradient from charcoal to silver to mimic moonlight, but seal the edges with a thin varnish to prevent light from bleeding into the details. Keep the drape taut, with a slight V at the shoulders to suggest movement without sacrificing concealment. Remember, a beautiful cloak is a weapon only if it doesn’t reveal your position.

Glad the words landed like a well‑placed dagger in silence. Just remember, every line you add should be as purposeful as a soldier’s march. Happy crafting.
