These look cracking!

As to flags - paper ones work really well for 10mm. Have a hunt around on google for images you like, if you are lucky you will even find some flags that someone else has made. Then you can shrink them down to the right size for your figures. Print them out, use a thin layer of pva to glue them together, around the flag pole. Put a bit of a curve to them using the handle of a paint brush so it looks like the wind blowing. Then when dry give the white edges a quick paint of the right thinned down colour

They look really good and I enjoy seeing all the units lined up like that.

Like Fred mentioned you can always go with paper.  I've heard that the rice paper used for Chinese brush calligraphy is really good for drawing flags, shaping and painting.  It supposedly takes the paint really well without bleeding/smearing.  I just bought some off of Amazon, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Sketch out your ideas for the standards and shields first, then you know what you are painting, using your finest brush.
Lovely looking armies.  :)

This confused me until I worked out that I had confused pendant with pennant.   ;D

Did some more work on the heroes/command figs:

Trolls got left out!

I've got to think about how to actually base the command units.

I guess I should put them on cork to make them match the height of the other units and make them easier to handle but I wonder if they'll start getting top heavy and there won't be room to do anything interesting with the cork.

Command units based.  The orc mage almost was forgotten so is still drying.



Still need to do pennants and flags but I'm leaving town for 3 weeks this Saturday.  Don't think I'll get to it.

All but the command in one plano box



I think we'll call that portable.
