A Banner for Rohan


























I've have added 4 guards to my Bad Squiddo Lady Aethelflaed figures to give Rohan  (or the Goths) an elite foot unit for the shieldwall. Naturally they need a banner to defend.  I took inspiration from Little Big Man Studios Saxon and early medieval designs. 

As usual I glued blank paper to the pole and then cut it to shape and painted free hand in-situ. I know, I'm mad. But it works for me and helps me decide how I want it to look.

This banner was so traumatizing I was cursing my hubris and folly the entire time and had to take a break between sides.  But I'm pretty pleased with the results. 

The guards were gifted from Pasha Dan's lead pile.  I think they are Foundry but I'm not sure.

    Excellent looking work and very atmospheric figures, a great combination.

    You've done a great job on the freehand banner. I think the warriors are from Gripping Beast.

    Very nice! The stylised horse turned out beautifully.
