wilks Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have a slight dilema that I was wanting to put out to get some help. I have made a squad of grey knight terminators and only need to add one more thing to finish them off, and that is the small heraldry shield on the shoulder. The problem is I'm not that keen on adding them I like the shoulder pad and feel it breaks it up, also the size of it covers most of the arm making movement look limited and awkward. Finally I feel they add to much clutter to the model making them look to busy. I was wanting to know wat others opinion of them are and if anyone else has left the shields off, will it take to much from the fluff if they dont all have shields? or maybe just the justicars? Any info would be helpful Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235315-need-grey-knight-construction-opinion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreaterDragon Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I also didn't like the shoulder shields and so I went without them.I just have the heraldry design depicted on the right shoulder pad. Here is how they turned out by the way , in case it helps you get an idea. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v44/GreaterDragon/40k/Terminatorsgroupshot.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235315-need-grey-knight-construction-opinion/#findComment-2833953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I am using paladins in a draigo wing army, and I have left off the shields and the back banner things, as I don't like the way they look...

Angelis Mortis Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I do my Paladins with both, and my Termies with shields only. I like the shields as it reminds me of Medieval knight armor. Just gives them that feel of being Knights of old. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/39/Dresden-Zwinger-Armoury-Armor.13.-besagewshighlightedjpg.jpg/220px-Dresden-Zwinger-Armoury-Armor.13.-besagewshighlightedjpg.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235315-need-grey-knight-construction-opinion/#findComment-2834451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I also dislike the look of the little shoulder shields, so I don't use them at all.

_Valten_ Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I personally love the shields - they just add something to the Terminator models in my opinion. Here is my 5 man Terminator squad. http://i26.servimg.com/u/f26/16/26/17/42/group10.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235315-need-grey-knight-construction-opinion/#findComment-2835080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilks Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks everyone for all the quick replies, and for the people who put up pics too it's very helpful, and good looking greyknights too both of you. While the shields look cool I'm still gonna leave them off,I'm glad to see other people have and think. Now I know it's not heresy to leave them off.
