Girot Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I could manage a freehanding of some kind but the question is: of what? Gears. Binary patterns. The yellow sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klawzie Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 How would you use them in your game? Would looking at traditional shield designs to make up one for a noble House make sense for you? (Even altering the design to include something steampunk-y in the right place, like a mechanical octopus instead of a design of leaves, for instance.) Or would something more like a company logo, a god's symbol, or a battle flag for an inhuman regiment make more sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Goodchild Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I could manage a freehanding of some kind but the question is: of what? How Ambitious are you feeling? Shield emblems range from very simple to very ornate. A quick google image search for "shield emblems" brought up a variety of options; linked below are some of my favourites: http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/101269286/Embroidered_Emblem_Shield_With_Malta_Cross.summ.jpg http://www.medievalweaponinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/shiled.jpg http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/600046/600046,1297539283,1/stock-photo-glossy-red-an-white-shield-emblem-on-grey-background-look-for-vector-version-at-my-portfolio-71021194.jpg http://images.crestock.com/920000-929999/921073-xs.jpg Ok, one of them is a bit more contemporary than the rest but I like it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm probably going to make some House Cannith sigils on at least one of mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanael Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm probably going to make some House Cannith sigils on at least one of mine. Yep. I have a faction of Cannith doing awful hybrid warforged things to living and dead creatures. They recently unearthed a dragon skeleton in xen'drik...the party isn't gonna like this, and neither are the dragons...and maybe the Lord of Blades will appreciate it. We'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Inner Geek Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm pretty curious how people will be painting the dragon. Spraypaint black. Drybrush brass.(i.e. same way I steampunkify Maverick nerf guns) I'd not use black as a basecoat for brass. When drybrushing the 'yellow' metals like brass or bronze or gold, I like to put it over a brown base. That tip was dropped on me many years ago and I feel like it gives me better looking metals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_the_Technicoloured Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Red can also be used as a good base coat for gold/brass (all those old gilded picture frames are painted red before they were gilded, helps make the gold 'warmer') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klarg1 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 A Swiss flag would probably be appropriate. I have to admit, a bright silver / chrome clockwork with bright red armor and Swiss cross markings would be both amusing and very striking on the table.

I'm just about at the point of doing the metallics on the Ogre. Brown or black for base coating under copper, assuming I'll leave a bit at the edges exposed?
