Title: Legio X Equestris

I picked up some lovely minis off mate Andres of Einar Olafson, and with his help have expanded them into a unit.  I wonder whether I could persuade him to paint another 200 of those shield designs?  ;-)

Amazing free-hands, simple designs but very well executed. :-*
As there are only some slight variations perhaps you (or einarolafson, rather) could copy them on paper to be duplicated as transfers. Would save a lot of work.

'e's good, that Andres!  Yes, not a bad idea.  The Caesarian shields are somewhat tricky to apply transfers to, what with that central umbo, though.

They look lovely!  Two part transfers are probably the answer - one for each side of the umbo.  IIRC, that's what Warlord did with their Praetorians.

Seconded. That seems the way to go these days for shields with a spine – seen it on WG's Republican Romans, and it works.
