Just a quick question here...
I like the idea of the icy scheme with blue and white but shouldn't the scheme feature the NAF colours of red, white and black? Or am I just being a thicky?
Ohh 2nd question actually - would the valkyrie models from http://www.phigsminiatures.com be okay to use?
Cheers

The last legacy team was red, white and black, and while I had tons of fun painting that vampire, I would like a different colour scheme for this team. Just me. 
Those Val's are awsome... you know, a whole team of val's would be cool.

| i actually wanted to do one of the valkeries as a cheerleader for the NAF team. that's what i use now for my personal norse team and they fit right in. when i get enough valkeries for a whole team then my norse linemen will be cheerleaders for them. |

I would like to see the NAF logo somewhere on the figures (a tattoo?), even the bases would be fine in my book, just to emphasize that this is a NAF project. As far as colours of the team, I agree that something other than red/black/white would be preferable. I don't think that you are being thick to suggest the colour scheme and I do believe that it should be one of the options that people could vote for, though I would not vote for it.
As for Phil's Valkyrie phigs - they are great models and if you would like to include one for the team go for it. Just post which one that you are doing so that others do not repeat the same miniature (phigure?).
Cheers,
Torpor |

| what i was thinking about for myself was getting in photoshop and shinking the actual NAF shield and printing out badge/patch size pieces and coat them with a thin layer of glue and see if i can make arm patches. |

Frozen Tundra is a very good theme for this team....of course we don't have to use exactly what the website shows, but somewhere along these lines should be ok
As an idea for discussion: Somebody suggested to keep the ring of the base in the same color...why not use all 3 NAF colors....have vertical stripes and change the colors every 30 degrees (zebra look)...trying to keep the order of the colors the same for all minis. |

And just in case anyone did want to vote for the tartan... *Shudder*
http://www.mordor.ch/swichert/miniatures/tutorial_tartan.html
I think the standard Norse model wouldn't have a large enough area of clothing to paint a tartan on it without it looking a bit weird. A plain colour that's shaded and highlighted would look better on smaller areas of clothing.
As for the colour of the base edge - why not leave them as an icy colour such as Space Wolf Grey as shown here :
http://us.games-workshop.com/download/IG_popup.htm?/games/40k/imperialguard/painting/troopcamo/images/large/ice2.jpg
That would leave the front area of the base clear to paint the team number of the figure - not all the Norse models have shoulder pads that can take a number.
Of course, if we were to go for the NAF colours, we should paint the top half of the base edge red and the bottom half in black and white stripes. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to paint... White undercoat on the edge, paint the red top half with a steady hand, then add the black stripes...
Don't worry - I'll be quiet now

| i could live with the space wolves grey idea since we're going for an icy theme. the naf colors idea for bases though just makes me cringe...maybe because i can't freehand anything, but that's just me. |

The area around the bases should be the same. We can designate what color later.
As for the photoshop patch idea, I've tried it and it's real tricky to get working right. The ink may run or your print unclear... My biggest problem was the best paper to print on was too thick to conform to the areas I was planning to set the patches correctly. Just make sure to test it before attempting on a fully painted model. One mistake may lead you to starting over on the whole model itself! |

I think the frozen tundra from HowlingGriffon's link, with the Space Wolf grey ring would look sharp.
It might be a little easier to incorporate the NAF iconography in the support/coaching staff rather than the on-field team? |
