Hi guys,
I am building a Vandal army in 28mm. It's about 9 units of cavalry, some Moorish Cavalry and commands.
That would bring me to 12 Vandal Banners and 3 Moorish ones.
I intend the army to be able to proxy for Ostrogoths/Visigoths/Gepids/Langobards, basically your generic Age of Migrations Germanic Horsemen.
I am finding it difficult to find information or pictures for banners or standards for this type of troops. So I would be grateful if anyone knowledgeable would point me to some sources or would provide some descriptions.
The only actual images I get are "draco" types, but I don't want to make an army with 12 red dracos. Such an army is a great opportunity to use vivid colours for diferentiating items (such as banners). I assume animal symbols (early Germanic, Vendel types) on bright colours would be the way to go, or symbols similar to those from shields. But I am not sure about the size and shape of such flags. At least for the command groups, if nothing comes up, I am ready to use differently coloured Dracos for the actual units, but at least the Generals should have some flags, and I am unable to find any info on shapes.
Many Thanks,
Dan
I think Dracos would be their standards, however paint them as you wish. all colors, make them colorful.
Otherwise do as you please noone will make remarks, just have fun making them.
