I've been finishing off a couple of flags to match those shown in the White Dwarf article.
First up the Black Uruks. I painted a banner for these a couple of years ago but decided I wanted to copy the one painted by Gary Chalk. I finally worked out the banner pole shown was a Dixon samurai yari with severed head cast on, so ordered one which came in record time.
I'm also working on Lord Vassago's flag.
Thankfully the 2 pictures I can find of it show both sides.
I cheated here, by photocopying the black and white image and painting over it so the reverse of the flag is facing the wrong way, but although I'm pedantic, I'm all for an easy life and time is limited.
I just need to paint the standard bearer now who is undercoated and waiting.
Great work on the flags, they look terrific. Please can you remind me which edition of White Dwarf they appear in?
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT. Issue 45.
DeleteExcellent read - I'd forgotten how much early Warhammer was a tabletop RPG
DeleteYes, magic swords, teleports, etc. All good fun.
DeleteGood progress on the Thistlewood project - looking forward to the battle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rick. I was totally obsessed by this scenario as a beardless and squeaking youth. Any anecdotes you may have about Joe and Gary's games, I'd love to hear.
DeleteGreat job on the banners, you have really captured the originals.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, although they were a bit rushed.
DeleteNice work! Your determination and the intensity of your research are impressive as always.
ReplyDeleteI need to get out more!
