Venetian Command Stands
/Those of you who have fought my Venetians at a To The Strongest tournament (and there are legion!) will know that as all my generals are attached, I haven’t bothered to paint up any command stands, merely indicating which units have the officer with them by placing a small model hedgehog on their bases.
Until now!
Voilà four command stands using my spare box of Perry mounted knights and infantry/arms from the bits box….and, yes, this does mean that the Venetians will be properly commanded - in all senses - for the first time!
The banners were made by asking Google’s AI program to create a Venetian banner featuring the Lion of St Mark on a green background with a red border, then adding prompts to get the resultant image into the right format for use (mirror image with a space for the pole, rippling to make it look like a flag etc). This took about fifteen minutes, with the flag then being printed onto normal paper, cut out and then glued in place on the poles. Not sure how historically accurate they are, but they sort of match the ones in the booklet that comes with the Perry's figures, so good enough for me! Very easy indeed…and how I will be creating my flags in future.
