Banners of Bacon and Beer

Every army needs a flag or two to rally around. I created these in CorelDraw with some internets sourced images. For the long flags I used as a base the War of the Roses flags that came in the Perry Plastic 28mm sets. I decided that rather than research and approximate a suitable historic Red and Black flag I would create my own fantastic Kingdom. I did come across an actual heraldry for Watts (my last name) that had three severed heads. Brutal! I swapped those three heads for three Tankards. Bacon goes well with Beer and in fact it goes well with most things so Beer and Bacon is the result. I substituted the Latin for FERMENTUM (Beer) and LARDUM (Bacon). One flag says Sorbitium Fermentum (Drink Beer) and Manducate Lardum (Eat Bacon). Not the best photographs but you get the idea. Cheers from Brendon
