Now this is a detail that I need to explain - the Blood Angels
sculpture atop the banner is painted white, with a wash of blue ink for
the contrast, then I went over each feather individually again in white
for sharp definition. What's interesting about this detailing is that in
my Blood Angel army I've chosen to go either with a "weathered bone" finish
or a "tarnished gold" finish on the standard tops like this. Weathered
bone for veteran sergeants and some leaders - gold for honor guard and
the highest ranking leaders. However I felt that Moriar needed something
different, something to make him really stand out in my army - to mark
him as the legendary character that he is - so I decided to go with the
blue/white wings which (in my mind) is more decorative (and thus indicates
greater honor to the bearer) than either the weathered bone or even the
weathered gold. So there - now you know :)
I printed that banner on my printer (from an image in the Blood Angels
Banner Archive), I had modified the image a bit in photoshop, then printed
it. I went over the red crosses and the teardrop with red ink, and the
scrollwork on the bottom of the banner I painted by hand :)
