GW Dogs of War Flags/banners (Help needed!)
« on: September 13, 2019, 08:35:14 AM »
Hello All
started kicking round a project I've thought about for a while.
A Dogs of war army using various proxies, (got a box filled with loads of different troops Im going to use)
My idea to tie the different troops together was to have similar banners and I quite liked the GW banners with red stripes and then a symbol on them
Very Reminiscent of Landschneckt banners.
My google foo has failed me, i thought there must be someone out there who has made similar banners.
Anyone got any ideas?

It is a bit unclear to me exactly what you are looking for. Is it:

a.) existing banner designs for inspiration
b.) readily printable banners
c.) something else

Do you mean these.
Google free 28mm renaissance flags. Plenty out there.

Yes. Those are the flags I was looking for. Thanks
I’m going to try and make my own.

The obverse and reverse differed on most of the flags and I could upload pics...

Have Alcatani Fellowship, Leopold's Leopard Company, Marksmen of Miragliano and Pirazzo's Lost Legion. Rico's Republican Guard and the Venators are just rags on sticks.

That would be great if you could upload them, really appreciate it if you get chance

Appears I was mistaken about the obverse and reverse. Certain I have a Braganza's Besiegers banner too, but can't find it. :? I've cleaned up the images, though you might need to adjust for brightness and size...

Flags of mercenary companies in Florentine service from History & Uniforms #11: The Siege of Florence - 1529-30.

If I am not mistaken, that yellow and red banner that Condottiere posted has been scanned from WD 146 - coincidentally one of the first WD issues I bought back in 1992.

Please note that after a moderator discussion I have removed the flag images due to the large copyright notice emblazoned on them. It's up to you what you do outside of LAF, but unfortunately we determined that they should be removed from a public post.

Those flags fall under fair use, as they're just stickers. It's not as if I'm posting a link to some dodgy site for an Osprey...

Would you be happy if I had removed the copyright notice?

They still had a copyright notice clearly printed on them hence the decision to remove them. It sometimes doesn't take much for someone to report it. I'm assuming when you ask whether we'd have minded had you removed the copyright notice before posting, then I suppose we may not have known. However, we do know now, so please don't remove it and repost them. Thank you.

What is there to report about? These are flags that were supplied with boxed sets, never sold separately. Concerning the flag with the crossbow: it was from a White Dwarf issue and permission was granted to make copies in the fine print.

Just out of interest, is your claim to “fair use” in the UK? I’d hazard a guess that this site is subject to UK legislation.  :)
