Regarding the coat of arms of the Tanners' guild, I have opted for a sheep holding a spear with the militia's colors (red and white), inspired by the Lamb of God used by the wool merchants guild in Florence, or by the tanners' corporation of Grasse (France).
Not my brightest idea as, believe me or not, it's way easier to paint a two-headed eagle than an ordinary sheep... On top of that, the lamb is probably too big for the shield, but when I realised it, I was too tired of painting again and again the face of this damn' sheep to re-start from zero.
So, for the moment, the merchant has been glued into place, and the halfling is simply put on the base: I'll see in the coming weeks if I find courage to paint a new shield for the Tanners' Guild.
Great work on this one. Checked out the earlier posts as well and must say the idea with Guild masters with a separate shield bearer is superb! Get the comment the lamp might be too big. Did not think of it though until I read it

Wonderful work. I think the lamb is a good size. The way the shield is being handled, it seems ornamental to me; as stuck it seems it should have an oversized heraldry on it.
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks both of you for your comments. So for the moment, it's a tie on the lamb size vote :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an impressive miniature, for me the size of the lamb is correct and works really well with the Halfling, congrats for the result.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. I also think that the lamb has the perfect size.
ReplyDeleteOK. Thanks for the advice. I'll keep the lmanb as it is for the moment.
DeleteKeep up the good work, slave painter ! My army will be great !
ReplyDeleteEt pour la guilde des cordonniers, une de tes ridicules claquettes en blason !
DeleteGreat work as usual, I am really enjoying this shield bearer unit. I suspect a halfling would prefer a fat lamb!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work ... very lovely stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Fat and already cooked :)
