I planning on making and IG apocalypse army after I completely finish painting my Tau but my concept for the IG army is based on the Canadian military. No I am not a Canadian nor am I much of a fan of their military but the fact that a majority of their current standing army is on horse back makes me want to model an IG army after them.

I was thinking doing an artic tundra camo scheme for the general concept so grey, blue, brown, and white for the primary colors but I wanted to paint the Canadian flag on the troops shoulders and large flags on the sides of the LR's and Baneblade.

I was curious if any one here has done a free hand flag before and hopefully has some pics so I can get an idea how to do it and practice with it before I try it fail and have to strip the models over and over. I also want to have the flag have the effect as blowing in the wind not just a typical 2d side view like most flag decals.

Thanks a ton for any advice you guys may have.

People like Canadians, so go forth. There are other red and white flags best avoided.

Ya I have no problem with Canadians which worked out pretty well since I used to live in MI. I just thought their flag and kind of over all theme is really appropreate for an artic themed army, so I decided to run with it.

But seriously no one has done free handed flags on their tanks??? I could really use some pics to at least work from.

the only flag that i have seen painted free-hand (not by me, by one of my gaming buddies) is the NAZI flag, and i think that it is a bit against forum rules to post said flag (as it may offend some people). altho it was painted beautifully.

peace
BLARGAG!!!

fuzzy pic, but ive got a union jack jawplate theme in my whole army lol, never causes a problem.
