This was my finalist pin winning entry from Games Day 2010 in Birmingham, UK.
I went for a simple conversion using the flag from the Orc Boyz sprue.
I learnt that I need to still improve on my painting and add little details rather than trying to keep it too simple.

Wow. That looks awesome. How did you make the flag? Was the flag part of the Ork Boyz sprue or was just the flagpole there?

Thanks
Yeh it was part of the Orc Boyz sprue and I cut all the detail off and worked in some green stuff and then drilled a brass rod through it. I was aiming for more detail on the flag pole but run out of time to enter it into last years GD

Awesome work. I’d love to see a tutorial on it, so I can try it. I’m wanting to do the same thing. I’ve seen other standard bearers using flags from other units, but this style (big flowing flag) is my favorite style.

Thanks, I will try and do a tutorial soon – it will be the first one for Tartan Paint. Need to find the banner again.
