colours question for a banner
hello fellow druchii
I was thinking on how to do my banner for my corsairs, and while at first I thought about doing the seasnake, or something other in freehand, I think i'll go for the text: "No guts, No glory!"
Now I was wondering in what color i'd best do it, so that it would really stand out on my banner. The banner would have a basecolor of Necron Abyss. (dark blue)

White is a good choice. Or a bright yellow.

Re: colours question for a banner
what colour is your army? Having a banner that uses colours that don't appear on any of the models will look odd no matter how cool the banner colours might look.
There are sea serpent transfers available from the dark elf transfer sheet, you could use those on the banner and then paint over them in the colour of your choice.
doing english language words on banners is really hard, it also raises the question why are the Dark elves carrying round a banner with non druchii words on it?
doing a translation of your motto into Druchii runes would be very cool.

no guts
no glory
<double-checking>
it seems that "t" does not exist, that would read "th".

Re: colours question for a banner
Well, green on blue would probably not look the best on a banner. I would say White on Blue is a safe bet, and if you want some green you can trim the banner in it.

What do you mean exactly? (in any case: "close enough!" )

I'll try that
Since i have a spare banner, i can practise freehanding the runes as well.
