Howdy -

I bought a bunch of books from abnaric on ebay last week, and they arrived today, all in fantastic shape. It was mostly a bunch of old FGU wargaming stuff, but in one of the books I found a sheet that obviously didn't belong.

It's a single sheet, A4 sized, with 27 banners printed on it. The sheet is actually sticky, ie the idea is to cut out the banners, peel off the backing and stick them on lances or flagpoles on 25mmm fantasy lead figures.

The title at the top says "Banners of Chaos... for use with 25mm armies; cut out and remove backing. Fold around wire or leadcast lance. produced by Wee Warriors, c. 1977". And on the bottom it has 'Banner design by Morno".

The banners are pretty cool... each has a note on the origin, eg several are from LOTR (Isengard, Mordor, Harad), a few from Moorcock (Melnibone, Chaos), a few traditional designs (Greek, Norse) and a bunch of others (Kraken, Illuminati etc).

Can anyone tell me more about it? Was it a stand alone item, or was it part of a boxed set or similar?

Regards

Mike

Nice :D

I'll ask Brad (Morno) about it. You might have something very unique there.  :roll:

From a PM I sent to Aneoth some time ago...

Regarding how to post pics to a forum, you need to have some webspace from your ISP, or you need to sign up for a free account at Photobucket.  You cannot use free sites like Geocities or Angelfire to host the pictures, as those sites do not permit remote loading, which is what you are doing.

Once you've done that and you've uploaded a pic to photobucket, you're going to sandwich the URL of the pic between IMG codes, like this:

[img]http://www.photobucket.com/username/filename.jpg[/img]

The board software will automatically interpret the string and load the picture onto a message.  This applies regardless of whether it is a public message or private one.

Now, if you are doing scans on a flatbed scanner, you'll need to convert them from their default format (.bmp I believe, which is HUGE) to .jpg files (smaller and faster loading) before you can upload them to Photobucket.  You'll need a little program called IrfanView to do that.  It's freeware, and available to download at IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide .

Good news.  The pic is there, and that sheet looks rather interesting.  I wonder if that was from a larger work, or perhaps a promotion of some sort?

It ties in with "The Endless Dungeon" and "The Village", which I'd forgotten about till I saw them listed at your forums.  These, like a boardgame I did all on my own, were all from the period when Zocchi would take a minimum order on anything Wee Warriors did.  Some fairly crackbrained things resulted from that.

:wink:

Deadlord36 wrote:$10 says there is a Banners of Law as well.

I'll take that bet.  :wink:
