Help with OOP Citadel shield sprue
« 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.

hello white knight

From which pack are these shields

Thank you for your efforts

Are these the henchman shields from Advanced Heroquest?

From which pack are these shields

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 really have no idea what I'm doing.

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.
