Finally got round to starting the praetor from calth, he was originally going to be a blood angel but me being the magpie I am I saw the dank Angels 30k colours and had to try them out, haven't picked up a brush in about 4 months so I'm a tad rusty but I think he's coming along nicely

And the back

Thank you! I'm assembling Blood Angels and I want as many options as possible when it comes time to test paint snap-fit marines.

That's an Infinity Umbra Legate, see image.

you can buy capes and torsos with capes from 3rd party manufacturers.
Attaching some of those to Tau should be easy enough.
Even it you had one with arms swapping the hands should be a minor conversion.

Victoria miniatures has some Ghaunts ghost minis and I'm pretty sure if you check out the other usual suspects like Anvil industries, Maxmini, Pig Iron and the like you'll probably find some other alternatives too.

If you google around for conversions in historicals you also might find a good tutorial. Bolt Action is in 28mm too, so maybe you even find some conversion bits there.

If you want to make a cape that is gonna be covered in flock/spices anyway you could also just use some tissue paper soaked in PVA. Won't hold up to regular gaming as well as putty though.
Another alternative might be aluminium foil. Pretty popular way to convert banners, flags and the like, but I've seen it used to convert IG with trenchcoats too, so a cape should be possible too.

Happy to assist, the pre-shading might be a bit tricky on those really small surfaces. But a little simpler probably works fine.

Thank you. What do you mean foil though, like just flock some foil? Won't that get super scrunchy when you handle it?

Maybe I need better gauze? Finer grade, perhaps taped and thicker so it holds up when wet? I found this tutorial by a guy and this is his result. I wouldn't flock the head or anything of the sort but it looks solid for a cape.

Another look at the tape pre-flock

excellent, thanks user, I was currently looking in the wrong faction (yu jing!)
