Brother_Vaas Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi Guys/Girls I'm currently planning a conversion for my Angels of Vigilance 1st Company Standard Bearer (I want to freehand the banner in my avatar) and I want to replace the pre-moulded Deathwing banner with one of my own I have a load of parts in mind, however from searching the internet I am really struggling to find a view of the back of the banner and would like to know the following. 1) Is the Banner Right Handed (I assume so) 2) Is a hand attached to the banner part 3) can anyone please post a photo of the rear of the banner to show me how the hand/arm/banner is all connected. (detailed and accurate description will do if detailed enough) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper-VII Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Are you talking about the Deathwing banner in the Deathwing command squad? If so that banner fits onto the back of the terminator so the standard bearers hands are free. I'll upload a picture soon if I can find it in the depths of my bitz box.

Brother_Vaas Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yes it was the Deathwing Banner I was refering to, sorry am used to WHFB models which are usually hand held banner which is what I wanted this guy to have. Thank you for the references that you both have posted, I'll add some additional parts to the shoping list so the banner can be hand held Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Actually you can absolutely make a SB holding the standard with the right hand as the tactical and termis hands are the same that's what I have done with my 2 termis SB http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2223.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2170.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/Iztael-1.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IztaelTop.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elphilo Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 You could also find a GK Terminator Banner Arm and then use the Banner from the Space Marine Command Squad. Its what I did with my Deathwing Banner Bearer. Though in order to do that you'll have to find a bitz shop still open :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
