Norman Army Banner

My Norman plastic army has grown so it's time they had a big banner option and here is the first one. Banner is from the Battleflag Norman Conquest Plastic Infantry sheet. Figure is a regular Conquest Norman with a spear option.
This figure still needs a coat of Matt spray but I thought I would post it before that step just because I can. The shield design is also a decal from the Battleflag sheet. I looked for one from the designs remaining that had colors found in the big flag. I carried this over to the miniature but with a variation in the blue color as you can see.  I was worried about the big decal cracking after I applied it to a sheet of paper in respect to folding it together then trying to get a few curves in it. But it only had 1 small split appear that you can't even notice now. I think my highlights on the blue garment got a little crude on this one but overall he should add a big splash of color and inspire my Norman toy soldiers to great deeds on the table top.

Cheers from Brendon (The Kiwi)

  2. Extremely nice paintwork, and the banner worked out well.

    So... fielding a warband of these guys in SAGA?
