Viking Flags No8

I've been asked by several other Viking fans to make up some Viking flags to use on their Longships, so here we are just for Paul in his Mancave and Roger in his Barracks, 11 flags for 11 ships, that should keep you both busy. I've kept them deliberately plain looking with no fancy frills and edging,  not sure which one I like the best, but I'd have to go for either the first, second or tenth. I'll be using one of them, one day on my Longship, that is when ever I get my finger out and put the damn thing together and paint it, I've only had it for about 10 years!!!! It's a lovely model from my favourite Vikings, Gripping Beast.
Hope you like the flags and some of you use them!!
Cheers

Viking Flags 7

I haven't posted any Viking flags for some time so I thought I'd post a few more today. The first flag is obviously a Longship flag, the second is an eagle flag, while the third is a generic Celt/Viking pattern,  of course these can be used for any Dark Age army of the period not just the Vikings!!
I'm not sure if I like the shields on the Longship flag I may take them off, what do you think??

Viking/Saxon Flags No 6

Another 3 flags for the Dark Age period, these flags can be used for both Vikings and Saxons or anything else you want. The first is a Wolf banner, the second is obviously a horse banner, so you could if you want use it for a cavalry unit, while the last flag is a Dragon banner, so the choice is yours!! Comments welcome and appreciated.

William the Bastard's Papal Banner

Another one flag post for today, this time we have my version of William the Bastard, the Duke of Normandy's Papal banner. I've taken the flag from the only source the Bayeux Tapastry, The only pictures I could find online were not great, so there's a little artistic liceanse used, but so what the tapastry was made some 10 years, (approx) after the battle, and there seems to be no end of speculation as to who and where it was made.
The banner itself was carried by Eustace of Boulogne and was given to the future king of England by the pope, Alexander II to battle the so called usurper Harold Godwinson.

King Harold's Standard 1066

Just one flag in todays post, it's my version of King Harold Godwinson's fighting man standard. It's the same basic template as my Viking flags. I found a picture of a Saxon huscarls online and coloured it gold changing it slightly to try and make it look like the figures on the Bayeux Tapestry. I've a few more Viking flags all ready, but that's another post!!

Viking Flags 4

Three more Viking banners to add to the collection, I have some more that I'll post at a later date, hope you all like them and please use them for your Dark Age armies.

Viking Flags 3

Three more Viking flags for you, at a request from Norm on WD3, we've got a few more Raven banners. The first two use the same Raven shape but the colours have been inverted on each one, the last flag is a copy of a flag from a previous post, with added tails for the flag. Hope you like them!!! Comments welcome and appreciated.

Viking Flags 2

I've made another two more Viking flags, the first is a Raven banner, no Viking army should be without one, the second contains a mythical beast design. Hope you like them, comments welcome good or bad!!

Viking flags

I had a comment on my blog today, from a fellow blogger Tas, admiring the Battle of Flodden flags I've been making, he enquired if I had any Viking flags since I had a Viking army. The simple answer was no! As I'm sure my fellow club members will tell you, they've not seen the light of day for far to long. So after a little fiddling on the PC I came up with the two flags below. Hope you like them, and use them as you will!!
