[Archive] Unusual idea for a BSB

Grimstonefire:

A random idea I had after watching a programme on the crusades is that it would be cool to have a Chaos Dwarf carrying a big rune of hashut over his shoulder.

It would be painted a really shiny gold effect, like a holy relic. All the CD would know it was holy.

Of course it probably would be harder to justify it counting as a range of different banners, when it looks nothing like a banner at all.

Thoughts?

Thommy H:

Lots of banners are solid totems instead of flags. I don’t think this would be a problem.

cornixt:

None of my Orcs have fabric-looking banners. They are just junk on a stick. No one has ever had a problem with it, even when they count as specific magic banners.

wallacer:

A Hashut Crusade is an interesting idea. In practice I guess it would be like a kind of giant slaving expedition.

A hashut Holy relic would be a good idea. The fact that it is not a normal cloth banner is irrelevant.

Pyro Stick:

So this would be basically taking the rune of hashut and turning it into a holy symbol instead of it just being a standard rune.

Im pretty sure ive seen someone stick a massive rune of hashut on a banner pole before. It would probably be worth looking through the standard bearer image gallery.

Grimstonefire:

No, I mean more like the guy on the left here:

Pyro Stick:

I think that would look kind of weird. Unless it was a load of slaves carrying it around instead of just one guy.

Grimstonefire:

Slaves? Slaves would not even be able to look upon the icon of hashut, let alone touch it! :slight_smile:

wallacer:

I rather like the idea. “we all have our runes of Hashut to bear”.

You could create points across the Dark Lands called “the stations of the Bull”.

GRNDL:

@Grim

I really like the cheese doodle Hashut Rune. Very avant garde, of course, the cheese doodle dust won’t show up on my armies’ fiery beards, so I’ll have to find another solution. :slight_smile:

Kera foehunter:

i think this would be a cool one $ $ $ this is the most powerful pirate rune out there

Da Crusha:

Slaves?  Slaves would not even be able to look upon the icon of hashut, let alone touch it! :)
