Anyway back to the banner buisness...
At first I was aiming for a Wolf banner but in the end I settled for something for the Odin worshipers.
I found this pictures of Odins Ravens Hugin and Munin, a good inspiration for my Banner
Based on this Cloakbuckle I made me a concept sketch of how I wanted the ravens to be on the banner, please don´t laugh...
So the painting started... I made the banner of linnen cloth and used black as basic colour followed by a Red base, Vallejo Hull Red I think.
I then freehanded the outline of the Ravens based on my concept sketch.
Followed by adding some more details with a dark gray.
I now added a bases for some knotwork around the edges. and added some more red, this time Cavalry Brown.
Some more hightlights for the gray and also the red...
Some tearing to have look a bit more used and barbaric;)
Glued to the banner pole.
Given to the proud banner man.
And last a picture from the photobox.
The rest of the Warlords hird are also geting some paint at the moment...here a picture od then showing of their new Daneaxes;)
The minis in the last picture are:
Front Row: 2xGripping Beast Jomsvikings and the last to the far right is the Gripping Beast Harold Godwinson mini:)
Back row are first the Gripping Beast Scot giveaway from Northern Fury and the other two are from the Gripping Beast Jomsviking box.
I'm really fan of all your last Heathen Warriors and this banner is a nice addition to these minis. Congratulations !
