I'm sure you could stick a bit of styrene rod in place of a pole arm and get as many as you want

Jim is quite correct. I have converted one of the polearm-wielding arm sets in a banner bearer for another command stand I am working on. It works perfectly well and was an easy-breezy conversion. A couple cuts here, a drill there, and bingo!

Thanks for the tips. I will give them a try.

Here are my first attempts at creating standard bearers from the foot knight box.

I used a couple of pikes from the mercenaries set for the banner poles.

First ten done

Very nice painting, just got lost in your Flickr feed for a few minutes.

None too shabby Gary

I have now made a few up myself, and updated my long running Wars of the Roses thread with a commentary:

Here's a taster...

Why thank you.

I'm now going to read your thread and turn green with envy.

Brilliant paint job

Hope mine come out half as nice!

Well, the formidable sculpting machine that is Perry World Domination Enterprises has now added metal standard bearers along with static billmen/halberdiers/pikemen to watch the former strut their stuff and wave their gaudy rags :

Captain Blood · « **Reply #142 on:** September 13, 2014, 12:11:59 AM »

I really like those billmen at rest. Great characters.
Unfortunately, I already have about 50 unpainted Perry WOTR metals, plus enough plastic to add a further, oooh - 150 figures? Maybe nearer to 200?
So probably, I shouldn't buy them...

Hmmmm....

But Richard, you need to improve your ratio of bill men to MAA..... Go on, you know I'm right .....

Captain Blood · « **Reply #144 on:** September 13, 2014, 07:33:22 AM »

Yes, but then I'd need to add another 37 longbowmen to improve my ratio of bills to bows

But you'll be doing that anyway once the 'light cavalry' set comes out, you're certainly going to want dismounted versions of all those mounted archers you're bound to make.
