Title: Help with OOP Citadel shield sprue
Post by: Bren on January 22, 2018, 07:20:40 PM

Hi folks, does anyone recognise this old sprue? I've been trying to find out what the two missing shields are but I haven't been able to find anything at all on the web. (google-fu failure) :(. I'm pretty sure one of them was a large sun-faced emblem.

I think I have that stashed away somewhere in the shed, though it might take me forever to locate it.

On second thought, mine are probably these:

Are these the henchman shields from Advanced Heroquest?

The ones I posted were initially made under the Marauder miniatures label:

The ones you showed look very similar in style, so I would guess they have to be from around the same period.

I don't think they are from Advanced HeroQuest as they would be cream coloured instead of grey.

Dwarf Elf shields. Now there's a race I'm curious to see.  :D

I think it's an old empire sprue that came with the origional plastic halberdiers.

apparently I was right

Ah, there it is :). Nice find Voltan, many thanks. I spent ages on Stuff of Legends looking for a separate sprue. The sun face shield is the one that's been bugging me.

Many thanks folks.

I don't think I have ever seen that sprue before.
