Theredknight Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hello, Iv looked back and can't find a topic in the last 10 pages, so thought I'd ask.. What do you out on your scrollwork on your models? I'm in mid painting a dc box set red, and have thought there's a heck of a lot!! Surely there's only so many times you can put 'Baal' lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelloid Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Random latin words or phrases always work, depending on the scroll size Mortis / Mortuus / etc... Sanguine or variants Dominus (good for leaders) Judiciarius / Jurisdictio / etc... For bonus points, remember latin doesn't actually use a "J". (Iurisdictio) Praetor Praxis Quaestio(nis) (good for Librarians) Divinitas Valens (strong) Infensus (aggressive/hostile) Some example phrases:Fiat lux ('let there be light') Imperiti docendi ('the unlearned need to be taught') Insidiantes cavendi ('guard against insidious enemies') Memento mori ('remember that you will die') Obviously phrases are more useful for vehicles.

Theredknight Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 That's cool, my scrolls will be filled! Thanks for the help there, iv just been staring at blank parchments on my tacticools lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 My favorite for longer scrolls is Alea Jacta Est and Veni Vidi Vici got to use famous latin quotes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exetus Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just find some cool latin phrases and bastardize them into High Gothic, lol. As for the soldiers, just go for latin-sounding names... Also, put symbols and scribbles for text that is too small to be read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-smuv Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 As a Lamenters player, I prefer "Vae Victis." But any latin is great. Thanks for the list Squirrelloid. I'll definitely make use of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theredknight Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Makkeru - That is an awesome thread, my scrolls will be filled!! I'm pretty crap at freehand anyway, so will just try my best.

Darklighter Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I did some scroll work today, here is an old link with some inspiration: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254001-angelic-inscriptions/ Thank you for pointing the Theredknight to this. I'd also like to add that this is a living document and has been added to quietly since it's internment in the resource library. The last update was this afternoon. I added a few more words to the list and it has many link I think people will find useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASSASSINAWOKEN Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Another easy detail is to add a small black square at the beginning of the wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
