Mahdist Standard.
Came across this interesting bit of 'loot' at the Royal Engineers Museum. It's a Mahdist standard in colours of copper and gold.

Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)
Isn't that a Slanneshi symbol ?
ReplyDeleteYah, most 40K stuff is copied from somewhere else. But the Mahdists were more Khorne than Slannesh, I fancy.
DeleteHunh!
DeleteYou have to know 40K, Paul. :)
DeleteThat's quite a size in comparison to the mannequin - must have been a weight.
ReplyDeleteI suspect it's hollow but yes.
DeleteWas it a mad Mahdist or a sane one?
ReplyDeleteH
Definitely mad. Goes with the territory.
