Olgerth Istaarn Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I am building a TWC independent character (yet another "I'm not really a Khorne Berserker but I'm riding a juggernaut anyway"), and I want to give him a Frost Weapon and a Storm Shield. For the weapon, I picked out a nice big axe, great for hackin' from atop a steed. I have a storm shield, but I am not crazy about using it. The guy will have a Forgeworld chest, and the shield will totally obscure its awesomeness. So I was thinking to tack on some kind of backpack-mounted force field generator, or somesuch, and count-as. I am looking for good ideas as to what would pass muster as a substitute for an SS. Got any?

Xeonic Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Some sort of cloak? Blessing of Tzeentch? Backpack shield generator would work, but why not just... Have the storm shield slung on his backpack?

GooseDaMoose Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 A meat shield! Like, an enemy marine/guardsman/ork/eldar held up to block bullets. Oh yes.

Alphz Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 You could always mount the shield on the back of the mount. Check out questing knights from the bretonnia range for ideas Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222023-storm-shield-without-a-storm-shield/#findComment-2653089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Orlock Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Model the shield arm in an open pose. Perhaps like he just back handed something with it so that the arm projects away from the torso.

Crimson Fisting Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I vote for hanging the shield from his mount's saddle, or whatever you have him sitting on.
