Flags and Symbols Updates

As I continue to work through the painting and campaign design I have found the following to assist with faction markers and special flags.

The coin above I found doing a search for Seljuk Turk symbols.  I am going to use it as the base control symbol for the Islamic factions and differentiate by field color.  For instance, Ridwan of Aleppo will have a yellow crescent and star on a mid-blue field with a red edge to the field.


This banner has been sometimes identified as the holy banner that William the Conqueror received from the Pope for his invasion of England.  I plan on playing with the colors a bit but will use it as the Special Event Holy Christian Banner.


This banner I found on a google search for the Abbassids.  I will most likely use it as the Islamic Holy Banner from the Special Events.

Another symbol I found through a Google Search, this one has been shown in several places as the Coat of Arms for the County of Edessa.  There is a flag on the old Fanaticus website that identifies this as the arms of Count Baldwin of Boulogne, the first count of Edessa.  I plan on using the flag and have painted the first test markers.

This symbol I found online from on of the Total Warish sites that claims it is the arms of the Roupenian Dynasty of the Cilician Armenians.

That is all for now as I sit in my hotel room in Chicago.  Until next time, enjoy.
