Shield decals

[harleyface]

Started a little Frostgrave warband.
Painted the first fantasy minis for nearly 10 years...
Its only a small project (at least at the moment)so i dont want to spend the time for free hands
Does someone know a source for good fantasy /medieval decal sheet...?

Thank you!!!

They do all sorts, lots of the crusader orders but also some non-secular stuff

I tend to make my own using laser decal paper. If you have access to a laser printer it is really simple. Just print your design on the paper, wait for it to dry. You can then cut out your design and apply like a normal water-slide decal. I always use the "clear" paper ( ideal for putting on a white background) but you can also buy white paper as well.
You can find laser decal paper here:

Hope that's of some use.

They have holes where they are intended for a shield with a boss.
If you find some intended for heater shields they won't have a boss. For example, LMBS Hussite shields for Kingmaker miniatures.

For individual heraldric designs to add to a base painted shield, Veni Vidi Vici might be better :

Or there's Battle Flag transfers for Fireforge medievals, eg:

Little Big Men Studios are my favourite, beautiful. The SAGA transfers are all made by these guys.

Not at all more my English ignorance than yours! Is "Decal" An American saying?

It's in common use in German modelmaking parlance, having been popularized by Revell some decades ago. AFAIK, the term was transferred from English which in turn got it from French "décalcomanie" which is a noun for the "process of transferring sth.". I'd write it off as an example of "noble vs. peasant speak" (e.g. beef from cow), if transfer wasn't a latin import itself. 

I also used "decals" exclusively in English (in German, there are two equivalents, "Nassschiebebild" for wet transfers/decals, and "Trockenabziehbild" for dry, "rub-on" transfers), but pretty much no one uses those except when a technical description is called for.

Haha, that's possibly the best explination of anything I've ever read, bravo! I might start using the phrase decal instead, sound dead-posh!
