Epic Art & Desktops

[Birdjaguar]

Thlayli's great post in WWW made me think we need a thread where Epic art suited to NESing or as desktops for NESers could be posted.

This might come in handy for my NES, seeing as how people are wielding god-like powers. I'll try to dig up some pretty epic pictures right now.

Edit: You can't go wrong with some Warhammer:

My desktop is currently this.

[Thlayli]

I find that battlefield pictures make for great additions to an update, if you can find something appropriate.

 

[The Loser]

Not epic or anything, but i like this one.

Spoiler :

Danish nationalism ftw. A cookie to whoever can guess the war.

 

[Luckymoose]

@Joakim: Great Northern or later.

 

[Angst]

Tip: Look at the flags of the ships on the lower painting.

 

[Luckymoose]

In that case it was way to easy and was my first choice. Second War of Schelswig.

 

[Angst]

Appearantly the war that people in Denmark is by far proudest of. Here, cookie. I knew somebody would know.

Another painting, no cookies given, I have no idea what it is:

It is dated 1807 and the troops look like British units with a rifle brigade in the center.

 

[Amon Savag]

None of the pictures posted herein are epic. Noble intentions, but people don't like to stay on-topic here in the NES forum.

EDIT:Exception is the warhammer pic, which is bad ass.

Heheh, I know that picture...

This is my desktop:

 

[Dachs]

Those look like copies - or at least derivatives - of Slave I, Iggy. For shame.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

They certainly do share similarities, but should I complain about it? They brighten my day and my desktop!

 

[Locker]

I like this one.

And a bit of nationalism:

BTW, which of Thlayli's post are you referring to? WwW has gotten so bloated and cancerous that I don't look at it any more.
