My Warhammer Banners

Greetings Fellow Travelers of the Old World!

Let me share another Orc Standard Bearer...

When I did this Banner, I wanted to capture the "bonehead" nature of the Orcs thus, I came up with this illustration. Its rather fitting, don't you think?

I hope you like it!

You have good steady hands and a very clean pallette. Especially for a large savage Barbarian dude.

I love the look of these banners, really nice stuff =)

Thank you Superscenic and Pirexian. I am glad to know that you both like the look of my banners.

May I present some more?

Recently, I was given an original Dwarf miniature by a friend. He is a novice sculptor and he wanted me to paint his dwarven creation. When he sculpted it, he initially intended the fig to be a mere champion holding an axe while drinking beer but I decided to use him as my Warhammer Dwarf Army Standard Bearer instead.

I realized that since the miniature was an original, I had to make a Standard that was equally unique and this what I came up with...

Meet Gardirr Ystradsonn.

The visage drawn on the Banner is my interpretation of Grugni, who is one of the ancestor gods of the Warhammer Dwarves. As explained earlier, Gardirr is seen here drinking a pint of Bugman's XXXXXX, probably to further increase his battle frenzy.


I also gave him a Shield and I drew the Runic Symbol on it for additional protection.


Of course, I also had to give him an axe for those close-quarter battles.


Finally, he is seen here together with some longbeards obliviously drinking himself to a fear-numbing stupor in the face of an incoming threat.

I hope you guys like him.

As always VERY COOL STUFF! Normally I home in on the Lads in Green, but the Dwarven Banner is JUST TOO COOL not to be a favorite....AND I DO LOVE Long Beards. I generally thing of the Vertically Challenged Grumps not so much as an army, but more like a very large Drinking Sociey, an image you've captured WONDERFULLY. GREAT WORK!

While I have just discovered this, I am at work and do not have much time. So I would like to say one thing:

I love you.

The Dwarf BSB reminds me in sculpt style of the old Longbeard models. Which is a very, very good thing!!

This and the Orc Bonehead are both, as always, inspiring!

Greetings Fellow Travlers of the Old World!

I just recently finished painting my GW plastic Greatswords Standard Bearer over the weekend and I would like to share him with you guys...




He is seen here with the unit champion and it looks like they are both looking at a rather distant enemy target.

I hope you guys like him.

I now have two units of Greatwsords: one made out of plastic and the other, made of metal...

VERY NICE! For some reason they remind me of some Austrian banners I had done for an erstwhile friend many years ago. WELL DONE!

Greetings Fellow Travelers of the Old World!

After several months of hibernation, I am pleased to share anew with the Community my Beastmen Regimental Standard and its Bearer...


In painting this particular banner, I decided to keep it simple and rudimentary inasmuch as I figured that these Beasts of Chaos are not really inclined to the Arts and the aesthetic component of Standards and Banners.

I hope you guys like it!

WELCOME BACK! The latest addition looks TERRIFIC! It's just the sort of banner that Beast Guys would carry. I like the way you did their hooves also. WELL DONE!

Wow impressive stuff, you have patience!

Greetings Fellow Travleres of the Old World!

@ DeafNala:

Thank you DeafNala! It feels good to be back and I am glad that you approve of my treatment of these whacked-out creatures of Chaos.

@ sartori

Thank you sartori.

After haviing shared my Beastmen Regimental Standard Bearer, I would like to share some pictures of my Beastmen warband in action as they raid a Talabheim outpost...


In this picture, my beastmen warband is supported by a special chaos giant who just happens to look like an elephant thereby creating a unified theme of purely mutated beasts.


This picture clearly shows the immensity of this warband's resident giant!


"The brave defenders of the Empire tried to repel the savage attack of the Beastmen..."

I hope you guys like these pics!

Dreng the banners are great, but the Elephant is pretty freaking amazing!

Who makes it? Is it scratch built? Wow!

Beautiful photos man.

That is a visual treat...VERY CINEMATIC STUFF! The Elephant Giant is SPECTACULAR. Thanks for YET ANOTHER inspirational post.

All your painted works are AWSOME,but...

@ Von Kurst:

Thank you for taking the time to view my post and for your generous compliment. The Elephant is a McFarlane toy which I repainted and appropriated for my Beastmen army. I then added small details to make it look "warhammer-ish".

@ DeafNala:

Thank you for the kind words. I am glad to know that my works are able to provide you with some inspiration

@ Drakkol:

Thank you Brother Drakkol. I also have a soft spot for those stubborn stunties.

Greetings FellowTravelers of the Old World!

In my previous post, I shared with you my "special Beastmen Chaos Giant". Now, I would like to share my special "Orc Giant"...



It is obvious that this giant is not from Gamesworkshop. It is actually a relatively cheap plastic toy I bought in China which I then painted and customized to make it look "warhammer-ish."

I hope you guys like it.

Now that's a proper orcy giant! Great use of another toy.

VERY IMPRESSIVE, CREATIVE, & COOL! There are quite a few toys that with a bit of work & a healthy dose of imagination can be turned into great models. VERY WELL DONE!

Thank you Von Kurst and DeafNala!

HOLY MOTHER OF GORK!!!

That's incredible!

Wow, that is a really impressive collection of banners! I especially love the makeshift banners like the orc's looted Nuln standard and the poor imprisoned slayers.

Also, very impressive work on your dwarven city! As the first (and largest) army I collected, dwarfs will always have a soft spot in my little gamer's heart. I also use King Kazador as my dwarven general (albeit under a different name, and with generic Dwarf King stats) - so brownie points from me on that one! The throne came together very well.

Thank you Myntokk. Its always nice to hear from a fellow Dwarf-friend.
