I just threw this together for my own use, and figured I would share it with anyone else who wants it. Its just a sandbag texture. You cut it a little over twice the height you want, then fold, glue, and cut the non-folded edge to look more natural. After that just bend it enough that it can stand on its own. Super quick, and super simple. Attachments:

Super quick, and super simple. These are great! Very much in the spirit of what madarchitect just released - simple construction but very effective textures & results. I also wish I'd had the real thing a couple of days ago...

Thanks, but I wouldn't put it in the same league as what madarchitect does. This is a just a photo that I used gimp's make seamless filter on. It literally takes seconds to do. I spent way more time trying find a free program to make the seamless texture than actually making the texture. It turns out that the program I could do it with was already on my PC. I use Gimp from time to time to time, but I know very little about what it can do. I should probably read up on it a little. Maybe I could go back and make the wall look less like a photo and more like the visual style of the miniatures and terrain I'm using it with.

Well, I did say "spirit" not "league" madarchitect's textures (and often his constructions) are sophisticated & amazing, but in both his recent set and yours there is versatility in the simplicity, a mark of good design.

After doing some reading I had another crack at this. I toyed with filters, layering effects, and color, and then went back and did even more fiddling. I think I did a good bit of improvement. It might look more like rocks than sandbags now, but im cool with that. I just needed something that looks like temporary fortifications that I could fill up a table with in little time. There are better looking alternatives (like madarchitect's Concrete Barriers) but this is good for when you need it in a hurry. Attachments:
