Nice work both! I really like the banners though I don't get the reference (if there is any). The Blood Angels are nice too, but of course the wrong colour to compete as an entry based on the movie "Ultramarines" ;) Good job to you both!

It's Shakespeare - Henry V. Henry rousing the English army before the Battle of Agincourt - rather famous movie versions with both Sir Laurence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh...
But it's probably more of an English fixation ;)

Ah yes, I borrowed that movie from Raz once, it was good but I don't remember it in such detail 8)

Sorry, I thought that a certain US mini series may have caused confusion if I'd used the better recognised 'band of brothers' part of the quote o_o
Here's part of Shakespear's text and link to the scene in question:
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Not a exact replication, but I hope my effort gets the feel of the scene :)

Thanks for the elaborate explanation! As I already said I like the banners but now I see your work on Henry V is very nice as well 8)

Where were you on St. Crispin's day?
I WAS THERE!
-
As was Erpingham- nice banner!
-
Ain't Brannagh(sp?) the BEST Shakespearian ever?
I (IMHO) think his Henry V, Hamlet and As you Like it are the best ever done. (on film anyway.)
Has anybody over there been to the new Globe yet?
-
If "Band of Brothers" was misinterpreted as a WW2 reference then I'd be amused to know what would have been expected if the entry was called "We Happy Few?"
Parriah - There are many who would swear blind that Laurence Oliver is still the best Henry V - but I too like the whole Ken Brannagh film - especially the music. If you havn't seen his 'Much ado about Nothing' on DVD then that is worth a view - for a young Kate Beckinsale if nothing else. The new Globe is most impressive and highly recommended if you are ever in London.

Much ado is one of my favs, IDK why I forgot to mention it. Yeah, Kiss ME kate! :-*
