bushman101 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 So I'm looking to sprinkle some Storm Shields in my army, but what kits have them for power armor? I know the Space Wolves kit and the Dark Angels upgrade sprue has some, but I'm looking for more generic loyalist design (I play BA, so I'd have to take a hobby knife to all those swords and wolf heads). Any help? Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228972-what-kits-have-storm-shields-for-power-armor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraOrk Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I am fairly certain that the assault squad box come with a storm shield (left hand iirc).

RamrodMC Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 That's a combat shield, Ultra, but if you file away the bolt pistol on the inside, then glue some powery bitz over the carved away part, it could make for a suitable counts-as. I'm doing that with my Captain.

Olis Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 One of the chapter masters (the metal box set of 4) has one. Whether that helps or not, I don't know. Have you tried ebay or bitz sites?

bushman101 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 I am fairly certain that the assault squad box come with a storm shield (left hand iirc). I'm pretty sure that the Assault box, has Combat Shields, but no Storm Shields. Otherwise, I'd have plenty :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228972-what-kits-have-storm-shields-for-power-armor/#findComment-2745701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The Assault marine box does indeed come with a left handed storm shield, the Command squad box is the one which comes with the combat shield.

bushman101 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Have you tried ebay or bitz sites? Not yet. I was hoping to just buy a kit because I needs a few parts in general (including the elusive Space Marine legs :) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228972-what-kits-have-storm-shields-for-power-armor/#findComment-2745707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to just buy a kit because I needs a few parts in general (including the elusive Space Marine legs :tu: ) Fair enough, although I would suggest taking a gander, just in case. You never know, there could be a bit there you've wanted for ages... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228972-what-kits-have-storm-shields-for-power-armor/#findComment-2745711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 If you want just a storm shield then use a bitz site but if you can make use of an assault squad, buy the box :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228972-what-kits-have-storm-shields-for-power-armor/#findComment-2745722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Scipio Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The Dark Angel Veterans Spure has a stormshield (as large as a combat shield).

9K Painting Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Terminator assault box has loads, and with some filing you can easy fit that to power amor. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228972-what-kits-have-storm-shields-for-power-armor/#findComment-2745800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Like others have said, assault marine box has a left handed storm shield. Command squad box has a right handed combat shield (easy to claim as a storm shield) Command squad box also has 6 pairs of legs.

bystrom Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 There's the TH & SH bitz from GW. They're metal and I've never bought them, so haven't seen them in person.

Red Fury Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I found these shields on ebay and ordered up a set. They are pretty good, the molds needed a little cleaning and repair (typical resin cast stuff) but there is not a hand or handle or anything else on the back. I think I'm going to use a pistol arm and maybe greenstuff a handle going to the pistol grip (pistol will be cut off of course). I haven't done it yet, but it should be pretty simple I think. Even if it doesn't come out totally perfect, the shields are worth it. They are just a tad on the large side for PA, I am debating on using them for my termies instead. http://hitechminiatures.com/null/product/info/37 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228972-what-kits-have-storm-shields-for-power-armor/#findComment-2748213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDawg Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I like this site has a bunch of great shield choices at sizes. http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?group=72 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228972-what-kits-have-storm-shields-for-power-armor/#findComment-2748714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
