Oldhammer Empire shields…
« on: November 01, 2024, 08:55:33 PM »
Anyone know of some of the classic Empire shields with the skull motif?

Check Etsy and Google and I find plenty of suitable designs but they are tilting shields and too small for infantry.

Surprised no one has 3D printed any. They are some nice ones with the Highland Miniatures Sundland troops, but haven’t seen them available on their own.

If you find someone on Etsy who prints the Sunland Empire stuff, email them and see if the shields are separate...I'm sure someone would gladly print you a bunch if needed.  I don't know the sculpts personally so I don't know how many have the shield included on an arm though.

Yeah, did consider that, but thought I’d see if anything was available without faff…

Have found the Grim Forge ones, they are close but not quite the Empire ones.

Pffffttt, next you'll tell me you don't want to buy them piece-meal off eBay for $9 a shield + $12 shipping...

I’m after 20 odd, but a consistent supply would be ideal for future proofing.

Are they the 5/6 edition ones with the separate shield bosses, skull with crown or are they the ones from the human gargoyle series?

I don’t have 20+, but if you’re willing to press mould, I could send you a sprue for the cost of the P&P. Drop me a PM if you are.

I can get those on Ebay easily enough, thanks though, but like I said, a consistent supply would be preferable and it seems odd that the closest I can find from a 3rd party seems to be the Grim Forge ones, which are nice. I was wondering if there were others I’ve not found?
