This month was a relatively Low-Effort Month. I just painted up 4 minis and 4 banners (and almost finished 2 more cavalry).
Here's a pic of all the banners together.
First is a banner for my archers regiment (26 pts). It has a slogan "Save the Krakens" as a fantasy interpretation of the old "Save the Whales" environmentalist slogan from the 70s.
Here I have done my best to paint a Kraken based on the Man O' War miniature.
Next we have the army battle standard (98 pts). This is a freehand homage to the sun banner included in Warhammer armies. This is my favorite banner of the group.
On the back I have painted some lyrics to a Beatles song that is a bit on the nose.
The front of this banner is painted as a homage to the original Wood Stock poster.
And the back is a minor alteration on the Woodstock posters, here it is Woadstock, because they are celtic-y wood elves.
The wardancers' banner (42 pts) has a quote attributed to Emma Goldman. Y'know because they dance and hippies are semi-revolutionary movement... and dancing would be important to them...
The other side of the banner features a freehand stylized picture of two dancing elves silhouetted by a fire in the woods.
Finally, my tribute: a marauder Dark Elf Assassin painted in a color scheme that I think will generally match my secret Santa. Not to get him in the mail this weekend.
Great banners, I love the way you've borrowed the original designs and slogans, that's very clever
ReplyDeleteNice idea for the banners, and the wardancer banner bearer conversion is great too :)
ReplyDeleteThe sun banner is very nicely painted and actually even better than the original. Great work!
