Title: Chaos Shield Help
Post by: steders 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?

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?

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.
