Zincite Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I got a surge of inspiration a few weeks ago and made these. I'm a little unsure about them now - I feel perhaps 'Terra' would have been better than 'The Imperium', but at the time I decided to go with what sounded realistic rather than what was the closest match to the original.But heyho! I've lost the inspiration now and can't be bothered to change it. If you're not British then these images will probably help you out a bit.'Your Courage' and 'Britain shall not burn'.Enjoy! http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/Zincite/Warhammer/FaithandDuty.jpg http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/Zincite/Warhammer/Fogit.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284385-imperial-propaganda/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Nice. Where's the rest? ;) I think the first one suffers from being a little bit bland but the second one's pretty cool. You need to do a 'The Imperium Wants YOU!' version...

Zincite Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hah. The time shows. I spent twenty minutes on the first - and most of that was finding the right sort of fonts. The other one took me two hours on a Sunday afternoon. I considered doing a Kitchener-style poster, but wasn't sure where I'd get the pointing Imperial Guardsman from. Not that I looked too hard. I was pretty keen on doing a few 'This man is your FRIEND - He fights for THE EMPEROR' posters for the regiments though. Those wouldn't be hard.

Tankenstein_PhD Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Don't forget to do at least one or two of those "You never know who's listening!/Watch your loose talk!" type posters. Wouldn't be the Imperium without a good dose of paranoia.

GrandMagnus Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 A kind of "Big Brother is watching you" but with the inquisition, that would be nice.

IamJacksUserName Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I don't know if would consider them motivational posters as much as I would call them propaganda. That would be my criticism. Otherwise, they look great. I can think of plenty of iconic images that would make for interesting imperial propaganda posters. Any plans to do more?

Zincite Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Oops. You're right, that'd be the correct term. Edited for you. If the mood strikes me I'll make more! I'm avoiding the computer save on weekends at the moment, so I don't have a lot of time to do them. Any my Blood Angels are begging for paint. blackoption, on 12 Dec 2013 - 21:40, said: Is there a difference between the two in the eyes of the Imperium? No, and I imagine a Commissar standing next to these posters and telling people that if they're not motivated they'll be shot. But the title is mine, not his.

Rosco151 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I think a variation of 'the beatings will continue until morale improves'. Flagellation instead of beatings perhaps?

Kurgan the Lurker Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 BloodSaint (original founder of the B&C) was really big into propaganda art. In fact a lot of the old B&C artwork was very "in the style". Including our first T-shirt logo: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284385-imperial-propaganda/#findComment-3546652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us who were mere Aspirants and not yet inducted into the ranks of the battle-brothers when this was a T-shirt, do you reckon there's any chance of getting another run done? ;) I would love to own one of these...I think, possibly, my only alteration would be to switch out the last head for a Terminator helm. Shows the progression from Novice, to Battle-Brother, to a living legend of the Chapter quite nicely.

We *might* still have it on our old CafePress site, I'll check. If not I could possibly get BloodSaint to do another one -- no promises there. EDIT: Yep, just checked, don't have it anymore.

Brother Eleysium Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 If this was turned into a T-Shirt I would totally buy one even if it was a revamp. This would go nicely with my B&C logo T-Shirt and my B&C dice.
