Looks like a few involving booze, 53 to 56 appear to be beer kegs and 68 to 72 seem to be beer stiens. dwarvish of course  :)

I'd go for those indeed  ;D

With the colours showed 56 and 72 appeal to me most, but with a different backgroundcolour this might change, so do whatcha wanna do  ;)
'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

my personal favourite is 66 with its runic symbols, followed by 71 and 72 for , well, its beer symbology.and 121 for the comet and hammer combo, "Hammer of justice crushes you. Overpower."
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

93. It has to be 93.

In hommage to HoJ of old, with a nice WAR twist.

We have reached rank 10!

Now Heraldry becomes an option...

5 Banner styles;
78 background "fields";
276 Emblems to choose from;
30 colours or so for both background and emblem...

Thats what I have to deal with... No links or images as yet (except for ones of the standard styles - I'll add them tomorrow when the image is cropped).

So as I said in the Heraldry thread we have 5 options for the shape of our Standards (that we deployed to grand effect on Saturday evening), and they are as follows (click the links, I dont fancy making this a page stretching thread...):

Picture 1

Picture 2

Picture 3

Picture 4

Picture 5

Check them out and vote for your favourite layout. The poll will last for 7 days from today following which we shall have a shape. (This gives me plenty of time to play about with the basics of Heraldry too...)

Could those pics BE any larger in file size?   /Ross

Pointy bottom one nr 4 is more dwarfish, so that one got my vote.
