I’ve always painted my own banners, but they’ve been one-offs. When working on my Viking and Saxon forces, I thought I’d spend some time painting multiple banners and then scanning and printing them to give me more options for my Alfred the Great campaign. Having done that, it seemed sensible to make them commercially available, so here we are.
Although there’s some amazing miniature banners out there, some of them seem very modern to my eyes, providing a computer-assisted level of design and detail that, I feel, are unlikely to have been present in the originals. Of course, most banners of this era are conjectural, and necessarily enlarged to make them look impressive on miniatures.
For these, I’ve taken inspiration from manuscript illustrations, period metalwork and the Bayeux tapestry. All designs were hand drawn and painted to give you a more handmade look for your early medieval armies.
These banners appear in the forthcoming Chronicles of Midgard supplement for Midgard Heroic Battles. They were designed for From Athelney To Ethandun, the sample historical campaign included in the book which pits Alfred the Great against Guthrum and the Vikings, though should be largely suitable for the period 700-1066.
