(Read 107 times) flapbat Conscript member is offline Joined: Oct 2009 Gender: Male Posts: 31 Any artists in the house? « Thread Started on Nov 7, 2009, 9:55pm » As a Salamanders player with virtually no art skills what so ever instead of painting a standard myself I decided to go the way of photoshop, make a standard, print it out and just glue 'er on. Anyway, here is my problem: I need a good side view picture of a Thunder Hammer. I've been searching the net like an addict searching for a fix but no luck. I don't really have anything to offer in return, except for my eternal thanks. But if anyone out there has a good side view pic of a thunder hammer, or I don't know, could draw one up, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Also, just the TH, or anything else in there? « Last Edit: Nov 7, 2009, 11:05pm by ElegaicRequiem » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged My Guard Codex: Ministry of Pants Tellius PDF 3rd (errant) [3-0-0] Scarlet Edge 3rd [1-2-0] Martel's Blade [4-1-0] flapbat Conscript member is offline Joined: Oct 2009 Gender: Male Posts: 31 Re: Any artists in the house? « Reply #2 on Nov 8, 2009, 11:04am » Well, the style I envisioned was one like the TH's from the Space Marine trailer, another good example assuming you haven't seen the aforementioned trailer would be the Warhammer on the front of the current Edition 40k rulebook. In other words just a big sledgehammer looking boxy death hammer. As for other things, I intended to put the word SALAMANDERS above the hammer in an arc using whatever awesome high Gothic esque font I could find. Other than that, maybe some flames coming up near the bottom of the hammer since it seems almost criminal to have something Salamanders without a fire reference. Hope that's not to much to ask. Thanks ElegaicRequiem, you are truly most awesome. Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Speak softly, command a big army.

I'll do my best.

I'm trying to keep it a bit simple, because when you print a shrunken picture little details get fuzzy or lost altogether. Do you want to proof it? And how shall I get it to you, and if what format?

BMP, JPEG, etc. It'd be nice to see how it looks as of now so I can ask for corrections or the like.

(Well, if that's a proper word to use when describing a hammer) However I'd probably replace the dragons with the Salamanders white dragon/lizard head thing.

The hammer shall work quite well. Now all I have to do is find a way to make it banner size. And I could. I could indeed Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Speak softly, command a big army.

What you might do, is take it to a printing shop, and ask an employee to do it, and maybe put multiple copies on a page.

You wouldn't know the dimensions of an IG regimental standard would you? Off topic yes, but I figure I might as well kill two birds with one stone if I can.
