Creating a '90s Warhammer Banner!

[@IAmTurbogfx]

Love the work! What I like about the 90s Warhammer painting style (and the sculpts as well, for that matter), is that it has a sense of humour, it has some sillyness to it, yet it takes "being a bit silly" very serious. 🙂

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much dude 🙌🍻 Yeah they definitely have a lot of character to them!

[@Guru_Swami]

This is seriously one of THE BEST Oldhammer channels out there!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! I really appreciate it! I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel 🙌🤝

[@oldaccountgothacked1]

These are the exact types of videos I love

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Plenty more where that came from 🙌 thanks for watching!

[@eriksolie511]

Hashut be praised! Those Chorf banner tops are some of the most lost bitz ever, so great save. Choice of banner pole donor is perfection.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Praise Hashut! Haha the pole sacrifice was intentional. Thanks so much mate!

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

I thinks thats come out wonderfully! can't beat retro style banners.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much dude! I’m glad you like it 🍻

[@tonypridham1253]

Great work, a banner makes a mini look soooo much better and you’ve done a terrific job!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

It’s definitely not complete without one! Thanks mate 🍻🙌

[@HallBr3gg]

Glorious!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thank you! 😊

[@WilhelmScreamer]

I like how this banner really brings out the tertiary color on the model it goes with

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much! I was trying hard to make it compliment the model 🍻

[@gosonegr]

The 90s fantasy style is so amazing and eye catching, it brings me to my childhood when I first painted a dwarf warrior in yellow and blue back in 96

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

There is nothing like it 🙌

[@razernc]

Great addition love it!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🙌

[@AnHourOfWolves]

Fun to watch! Love the banner and the whole 90s vibe.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙌

[@Splodgenessabounds-j8o]

For the synthwave!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

I couldn’t do without it haha

[@illyplantsman]

You're the man Deets! Retro/90's style banners are so unique. With bold, rich colours, cool patterns and iconic icons and content. You've captured the aesthetic brilliantly. It looks amazing, a true work of Art. Thanks again for the brilliant tutorial and inspirational content. 🖌🏁🙌

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much my dude! I’m really glad you like it 🙌

[@TheAnchorite]

Especially loved the mid-vid haircut Deets! Looking as sharp as a cut-open coke can

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Haha I’m glad someone noticed 😉

[@adamf2977]

Job done! Looks awesome mate!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks my dude! I’m glad you like how it turned out 🤝🙌

[@LakeyWargames]

That came out amazing, great work and simple guide to follow and what a lovely looking end result too!! :)

[@TheGreenSquander]

Looking fire! Really gives that model the middlehammer over the top look!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate!

[@Feyknir]

Love the banner

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much!

[@gbirdnonsense1084]

Looks f'ing wicked, love it! Aluminium cans are the way, who knew

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! 🍻🙌 Handy little things aren’t they

[@Feeneyfilms]

Awesome job dude, the flag design is very similar to the sign outside of The Skirrid Inn which is the oldest (and most haunted) pub in Wales, UK, at nearly 900 years old. Can confirm it's haunted, pretty sure I saw a ghost when I was enjoying my pint there. Great video as always.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Oh nice! I’ll need to take a look into it and maybe visit the pub when I’m over there one day haha beers with a ghost sounds fun. Thanks so much mate! Glad you enjoyed it 🍻

[@blastvader]

Great job. Really enjoying your adventures in Herohammer. Top tip: the alu foil used in tomato puree tubes is much easier to work with than pop-can aluminium.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! I might have to give that a crack for the next one 🙌🍻

[@ImaginerImagines]

Good one. Well done. Your free hand skills are definitely getting there.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! I appreciate it 🍻

[@captainofthering1326]

Super cool method! I am currently facing a green knight that needs 3 custom banners and this jelped a lot in trying to understand the process (I never did custom paper banners before). Thanks Deets!

[@grim3897]

acrilic markers are awesome for freehanding, then use the superfine brush for details

[@MiniatureRealms]

Cracking job, love it.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! 🍻🙌

[@jonathanthomson3388]

Magnificent Deits! I have been meaning to make banners for my Wood Elves for more than twenty years, will copy your method, have already collected a few cans for banner material!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🍻 Those Wood Elves deserve a good banner, good luck with it and I hope they turn out well 🙌

[@Bazscoobz]

I love this guy!

[@xulles74]

Awesome and epic!!!! Congratulations

[@thalliwell100]

Really great job, I love the design you chose to do. The skulls match really nicely

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! I’m glad you liked it 🤝🙌

[@ep1kone]

Interesting idea about the can, never seen that before. That aluminium would take a really good primer to stick though. I prefer the paper considering non artists can just photocopy and fill in existing banner ideas and a good varnish should make them pretty indestructible and still possible if you use a heat gun to almost melt. Or sprue goo now, need to test batches with glass panels to get the surface right.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

I used a couple coats of White Scar and had no issues with it coming off. If you make sure the surface is thoroughly clean you should have no issues 👍 Yeah I can definitely see how paper banners are much easier and accessible for everyone. Good luck with your testing mate!

[@plazma5343]

Love it bro !!

[@abzhasan8322]

Man I love this!

[@_tbg]

Looks sick and fits the mini like a glove. Respect for actually freehanding the banner, this stuff really isn't easy

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate!

[@SvartElric9]

Very cool! Thanks for the video! I'll eventually have to make some banners for my Empire troops...

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🍻

It's a very good job !

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@stevenbaker3593]

Superb stuff! Have you tried using aluminium tape? You can do both sides of the banner at the same time then fold in together. Just a thought. 😊

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🍻 No I haven’t but I’ll definitely look into giving it a crack on the next one 🙌

[@SunburntHands]

I really miss banners.

Hi another alternative for banner materials is those cat meat sachets. Not as sharpe

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Good idea! Thanks dude 🍻🙌

[@anvilofcrom]

What an impressive job, mate! Painting on aluminium is not so easy, is it? Cheers from Germany

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much my German brother! 🙌🍻 Yeah it wasn’t too bad as I gave it a good couple coats of primer and did the job nicely 👍

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

Great work. HOWEVER, if you are going with flat colors (e.g. not John Blanche's Mona Lisa banner), wouldn't it be easier to just hash it out on the computer and then print it on a color printer? I just feel that all that fine detail work is going to waste. Kinda like painting your house with a #1 brush. You CAN do it. And it IS impressive. But that time could have gone into something else.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! I suppose this is just another way of making a banner. Something a little more durable and different. Plus it’s fun to make and I want to try push myself where I can 😊

[@syd4890]

Why not making it from thicker paper and then wet and seal with pva?

[@syd4890]

Answer in the end of the video. Gotcha 😂

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Haha yeah it’s just a little more durable and might last a little longer 👍

[@svenlaurens]

I am missing the 'highlight' counter being on the same level as last. No more drinking game😅

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Haha I’m sure there is another word in there you could use 😂 might have to bring it back next week for you
