I guess cutting the pole off and making it taller is out. You could always put the standard on the other side of the champion.
But something to match the new paint would be better. I like the idea of two smaller banners. Or a big one thats tied off at the bottom. The giant patchwork banner would work better for a BSB.
Here is a great old Marauder Goblin Mage that I recently painted up for the Golden Gobo Painting Contest over on the OldHammer Forum. He will be a great addition to my Chaos Dwarf Warband…more Greenskin slaves!
Great stuff as always Blue! love how you pull of bright high contrast colors and still make it look realistic. (maybe a bit to clean for gobbos but thats a matter of taste, and as Gobbos are quit intelligent (compared to Orcs) I say you pull it of completely.
