Chaos Shield Help
« on: February 20, 2018, 10:48:03 AM »
Hello All
I've got a chaos warband on the go using virtually all 80s citadel stuff. I don't like the old flat shields you get which have a hole in the middle and I don't fancy free hand painting 10 shields.
Does anyone make chaos shields? Or does anyone have any great suggestions to use other shields as a basis?
Any thoughts?

You could try and source the old Citadel embossed chaos and/or undead shields. They come in a variety of shapes and designs and should fit in just right with your old minis.

they might be either difficult to source though, or be quite expensive (or both ::) ), but they should be out there.

Why not ask around in the wanted section of the bazaar?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

The shields that came w the Chaos Marauders box were my favorite ever. i may have a few kicking around if you want them.

The plastic Marauder Miniatures chaos shields are among the nicest and fit your criterion (not at all flat). They may also be the ones Daeothar is referring to. While you would have difficulty finding a unit's worth at any price, you may be able to find one or two (perhaps even borrow some) and press mold them. I did a test with one of mine.
