Loving painting these guys, lovely models and colourful 'uniforms', but the flags are troubling me - does anyone have a source or reference on what Pancerni banners would have looked like?

Craig,

I am afraid there is no information on GNW era banners. I used earlier banners or variants of those to do mine - i.e. different colours or mixing styles.

Here are a couple of links to earlier banners but you should be able to Google more.

Thanks for the links. Yes, I'd limited my googling to the GNW years but I like your approach.

Craig,

I am afraid it is the only approach possible as there simply is nothing on the GNW era :(

The early banners look nice though so that is good :) Plus they almost certainly continued using flags of these styles, even if a little different in detail.

Yes they do look good! I'll be using your system - and ordering some more pancerni. Coming from ECW, Napoleonics and ACW the lack of info on the GNW is quite a challenge!

The good news is that you have picked one of the armies with the least information on. Most others there is a lot more around about them.

The good news is the GNW is a very interesting war to fight. Good luck on your project.

Thank you, I'll post pics when there's significant progress :)
