Don't forget you banner, Bruce!

Now I'm approaching the end of my regiment, it's time to think about the standard bearer. You may remember that I want to give a "Crusaders" look to this army, which means that I need banners and not the dwarf icons I usually choose (NMM is much easier to paint than a large piece of cloth).

The problem is my last attempt in making a banner with epoxy putty was not really satisfying.

Thick, large and no fold, it made the painting job rather tedious...

So, instead of working hard until I get a proper result, I've chosen the easy way: plastic standards on old models! On the left, you'll recognize an imperial dwarf with the new Dwarf warrior banner; and on the right, the Bugman's standard bearer with the upper part of a Bretonnian knight's lance.


The second one will probably defend the colours of my axemen regiment: I like the simplicity and the "irregular troop" look of this model...
