I'm sorry but that pose is really unbelievable. I have carried standards and there is no way anyone except the Incredible Hulk would be able to hold such a large banner in one hand in a breeze strong enough to open it out like that let alone while also holding his shield in the same hand and wielding his axe in the other!

soldierostheline I think what you're forgetting is that its a wargameing figure and not a real person. Now I know we all like our figures to look as realistic as possible but come on!!! I have now put a name to this figure….Dave Bannerson!

yarr68: No I haven't forgotten it's just a figure and not a real person. I don't expect total realism but I'm afraid it just pushed my suspension of disbelief just a bit too far. Every time I look at the picture I keep expecting to see the figure blow over backwards. But it's your figure so if you're happy….
