Baruk Khazâd's wip thread

Hi i think it is time for me to start a wip.
So i have been working on a dwarven banner bearer conversion and i have come to a dilemma as this is going to be the banner of the khazad guard (for me usually durins guard) i thought i'm going to paint it a liitle differe
nt from the usual raven symbol i was thinking the hammer thingy on the west gate but i'm just wondering what you guys think would be a fitting symbol for the great dwarven king Durin.
Pics as son as i've found my camera

a hamer would indeed been nice perhaps (:
or maybe something like a mountain or a helmet-like thing? xD
or the banner i always liked for dwarves was the one of BFME2 the yellow X with blue background (: and they wear them on there back so they still got there hand weapons

but if you would do that and give it to a khazad guard it would fit since a banner counts as 2handed weapon (:
just an idea, but i think it would look pretty nice

pictures of the banner, links:

LINK 2

ps: if you don't use this idea, then i will ;p

greets,
Jorn.

I won't use the back banner as i have already began the conversion (i only have to the actual flag left to do)
So the problem is only the motif
thanks anyway and do that back banner it will look great

maybe these are of some use...

They look cool but they have pretty complicated motifs and as this is the first time i freehand something i think it needs to be simpler.

Phantom_Lord · **Posted:** Wed Sep 16, 2009 8:26 pm

well, then maybe a simple hammer and anvil, somthing like this:

(scroll a bit down and you'll find it)

or maybe something with 2 crossed axes or hammers?

just hoping to give you a nice idea...

Wow, Phantom_Lord. That army you likned to, is simply stunning. It is amazingly well thoughout and executed, if my Dwarf Army turns out half as good as that I'll be a very happy man. Thank you very much, for the link. :yay:

As for the banner, the one in Phantom_Lord's link is very good. A banner like that would be stunning on the table-top.

Good luck with your army.

Hey!

A small update i have now sculpted the flag

and i'm so sorry for the bad pic i couldn't find my camera.
The greenstuff is not dry yet.

And it may be hard to see but at the top of the pole is a raven.

Very nice banner, Joel! :yay:

From what I can see nice but need some sharper pics.

As far as I can see it looks really good; I like the fold in it. :yay:

If you can get a better pic that'd be great because you can't really see the raven.

Here is what i started on yesterday

not a very good pic but it will have to do

HUGE picture, could you reduce it please? From what I can see it looks pretty good, is that nmm on the axe?

Gondor's Finest · **Posted:** Wed Sep 30, 2009 5:43 pm

ya you might want to make that smaller. Would make looking at the model easier. instead of having to pan back and forth across the screen to see it. :-D

Baruk Khazâd · **Posted:** Wed Sep 30, 2009 7:09 pm

I'm sorry about the pic i've fixed that now and there's no nmm
