You having to take time out to  spruce yourself up for  your big interview for Oldhammer? 

[Techno]

No.....I've got to go and feed the chickens before I start work properly.
Now will everybody stop posting for an hour so I can catch up what I've missed since yesterday afternoon.
Cheers - Phil.

Sorry I definitely had a blonde momment and posted some generic medieval peasant pics rather than Mongol ones.

Yes, Craig, I think we're talking hunter gatherers here. Still, I have to thank you for a moment of imagining a Mongol treading the grape harvest.

[WeeWars]

What about a Mongol civilian in T-shirt and jeans?



Behind the good-looking bird, there's a dinky cart that needs to see the tabletop:



That what-you-call-it I posted previously:

So...Am I doing this female Mongolian chive or what ?

From the look on the old bloke in the red hat's face, the young chap on the right has put a little too much effort and strain into his Pre-bout gurning...

[Fenton]

Do you think the guy  with the blue  hat is always as the front in case he slips and slides forward in the mud?

[Techno]

 

Next question.
The standards ?

There seem to be a number of possible variants here.

My choices seem to be.

A)......A horse hair type, as favoured by Genghis himself.
B )......Largish 'triangular'.
C)......Largish (Very large really !)....Almost square shape.
D)......Just a straight 'pole', so you guys can 'do your own thing' with a paper flag.

Thoughts folks ?.....And I'll obviously also be guided by Leon here.
From a completely selfish point of view, I like 'D'....as it'll be a lot quicker !
Second choice for me would be 'A'.....But I'll go with the flow. 
Cheers - Phil.

A was jhingis' own way of showing he had united the tribes, each tail represented a tribes equal share of glory (according to Conn Iggulden's series of books anyway) I know he spent time out there researching facts, so that may be worth looking in to.

[Leon]

The horse tails have been the most popular in the emails/requests/chats I've had with folk?

[fred.]

I'd have thought the horse tail - its fairly iconic

Also its fairly easy to cut back if you want to do a simple square or triangular banner as a conversion.

[sakura]

hi
i would go for the d option as it will be both more flexible and also quicker!!
great to have input and i look fwd to the enemies as well

[Techno]

The horse tails have been the most popular in the emails/requests/chats I've had with folk?

Fair do's....and as Fred says, should be relatively straightforward to convert that one ?
Cheers - Phil.

[Sandinista]

Horse hair for me please

Yep - that's a good-looking bird.

Mongol. David. Brent.

[WeeWars]

Nik may have hit on an alternative free figure.

[Techno]

Ahem....
Returning to the thread.

I'm seeing the horsehair standard being about twice the height of the figure ('Castability' allowing)....
Does that sound about right to you chaps ?
Cheers - Phil.

[get2grips]

Works for me but it will need to be straight up rather than slanted like a lance: can you cast this?
