Fixing Another Standard

I have been putting this off, because I feared that it would be difficult to get a good result.

Today was the day that I broke out the old self-adhesive Citadel Undead banner I got with the army over 20 years ago, and attached it to the lance allocated to standard duty,

It took me about five minutes to get it aligned and shaped, no more than that!

I may have to touch up the edges with black, and give the whole thing a coat of matt varnish, but other than that, it is all done!

It is a strange fate we should suffer so much fear and doubt… over so small a thing. Such a little thing!

GoB: Repairing a Standard

This old standard was broken (back when I tilted a large box with miniature storage boxes in it form a chair in the attic), and had to be mended.

Luckily, my Poly Cement is never far away, and I got the banner pole fixed shortly after re-basing most of the new unit.

The banner is exactly as it were when I purchased all those classic GW skellies as a big job lot more than 20 odd years ago, and it will do nicely (allthough I cannot help thinking 'Blood Angels' whenever I gaze upon it).

The cloaked figure to the left is my incarnation on the battlefield, by the way - Argonor the Necromancer is also to be finished for the gaming appointment on the 22nd, where I shall have my first game against Kevin's Orcs (an I really look forward to playing against another army than Duregar's Dwarves, and find out how the Undead perform against less staunch opponents).

Tomorrow, I shall put filler on a lot of bases, and get on with painting the Necromancer. I shall probably also find, print, and laminate the Necromancer Miracle cards, so I can have a set ready for the game - and I may have to make a set of Orc Miracle cards as well, just in case Kevin brings am Orc priest...
