ancient god Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hey guys, There's been a lot of threads on the use of VV but I haven't seen a discussion on the modeling side so far. How do you model your VV storm shield guys? Do you buy Terminators for extra bits? Do you improvise or create your own shields? I'd be very interested in seeing your takes on that option.

Kurb Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I took the wings from thes sang guard kit and glued it a combat shield. Someone here did it to great effect. I will post it sometime if I can. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216817-vv-with-storm-shields/#findComment-2586322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just plain old combat shields (from ASM box) for me. Though when I get enough I may use the combat shield from the Dark Angels veterans box.

SamaNagol Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Using the shield in the Assault box, seeing as it isn't technically a combat shield without a pistol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216817-vv-with-storm-shields/#findComment-2586447 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient god Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Has anyone tried using the Terminator storm shields? Do they look too big on regular PA models? I've seen the Scibor ones before but I don't like his style. The quality is fine, I'm just not into his aesthetics.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Here are a couple of my minis using the terminator storm shields: http://www.gmmstudios.com/pictures/modelphotos/kr10.jpg G :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216817-vv-with-storm-shields/#findComment-2586517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redo Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Using the shield in the Assault box, seeing as it isn't technically a combat shield without a pistol This is what I do and as pointed out it is a storm shield as opposed to the Combat Shield which comes in the Command Squad box and has a pistol attached.

Midnightmare Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Black Orange, Honour Guard is my favourite of all our units and that is one wicked looking HG (and a bit 'hulk smash'!) I like it :) As for the storm shields, termie ones look great with minimum chopping me thinks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216817-vv-with-storm-shields/#findComment-2586556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancient god Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Yeah, that HG does look cool! The Termi shield look to be working really well, I think I'll settle for those. Now, on to badgering my marine playing friends! :lol: "Sure you still need those?" *yoink* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216817-vv-with-storm-shields/#findComment-2586709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gv0zD Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I was going to use shields from ASM box. I have considered termie shields though, but as I'm not sure if I use termies, I find it as a pretty expensive investment :) @Black Orange: Man, your HG is so wicked! What a great job you've done! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216817-vv-with-storm-shields/#findComment-2587921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlak Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Dammit! The Scibor 'Wings' Shields are pretty new - when I was considering this same issue a couple of months back, I agonised over whether to go for his shields, and these wings shields weren't available yet. I may have gone for those if they were. I may still... ;) Maybe a bit 'Dark Angel-y' though, winged sword and all. I have made my own though as shown below if you fancy a look. Magnetized for maximum flexibility. :) Posted a short while back now - http://lh4.ggpht.com/_zKsz5mPpXKQ/TPwUHIxvxJI/AAAAAAAACIQ/dgyjXkpAh0Y/IMG_3968.jpg http://lh3.ggpht.com/_zKsz5mPpXKQ/TPwUI3ijUMI/AAAAAAAACIQ/eNA4rJEWxeg/s912/IMG_3970.jpg With test model shown here - http://lh3.ggpht.com/_zKsz5mPpXKQ/TKG07U0QjDI/AAAAAAAACIM/7Ay-NMdnyQ0/s512/Photo%20Sep%2028,%2010%2008%2022.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216817-vv-with-storm-shields/#findComment-2588035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm thinking about using these or those. If someone is doing Night Lords with C:BA or other bat themed DIY Chapters, I suggest looking at the Vampire Counts' shields Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216817-vv-with-storm-shields/#findComment-2588154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
