Jawaballs Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Bear with me while I play with the code, I am trying to include pics in this post from Photobucket and don't know how. I will no doubt edit this a few times until I get it right. So I have been working on a full sized Chapter Banner! Last year I won the banner competition at Baltimore Gamesdsay with my Blood Angels 2nd Company banner. This year, since it is the only GD, I am pulling out all the stops and creating a thing of beauty. Pics here and more on my blog. Enjoy! I will update as I finish it. Ahhh Ha! Success. Pics a plenty! If you are curious, the banner is made from two different colors of red. The red on the back is darker then the front. The banner is about 3.5 feet wide and 7 feet long. The image is painted onto gessoed canvas, then sewn onto the banner itself. And no, I don't know how to sew. I have a colleague who I pay to do that part. I gave her the fabric and measurements I desired, and she did the sewing. There are several WIP videos of this on my youtube channel to.

Sorry for linking but I don't know how to embed the video. EDIT: I added the 2nd Co. banner and Furioso banner for your oogling enjoyment. These banners are eacy about 3x4.5 feet.

BrotherMoses Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 All hail Lord Jawa! Artificer Supremus of the Blood Angels! Fantastic work here. Always cool to see something done like this. If I had the time I would be honored to stand beside you during all of your games while holding this. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Gah! Flood control! <_< Awesome banner, Jawaballs! When you mentioned this banner in a previous thread, I hadn't pictured what the full size version would look like. This is just crazy cool. Have you decided what 40k quote you'll be sliding in the lower right box yet? I very humbly suggest the one from my post in the original thread, if you happen to be taking ideas. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titan136 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I have to say, even though I'm not a fan of your paint style on tabletop miniatures, those banners are top notch! I think the letters could be a little thicker, but zero faults on the painting. Gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherMoses Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Did you ever figure out how you were going to handle that indecipherable bloc of text? I'm sure you have some way of making it look nice even at this size while being unreadable. If you should have to make something up to put there, like a quote, I thought I'd give you one of my favorites from the 4th edition 40k rulebook. Its one that always was evocative of the Blood Angels for me and it may fit well for the banner in a pinch. "Any man that dies so that another may live shall feast at the Emperor's table." I always thought that this quote was the spirit of the Blood Angels. Guardian angels even unto death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vel'Cona Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 "For every battle honor won, a thousand heroes die alone, unsung and unremembered." ^This. It's so appropriate to BA because it captures our nature of self-sacrifice and humility, reminding each battle brother that he is but a cog in the Emperor's grand design. Also, Furioso flag wins for awesome. Dress in black robes and carry it around the convention. Cruise control for cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
