stokecity_m Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi all, I'm looking to make a squad of terminators with thunder hammers and shields, but i'd like to have larger shields. Can anyone point me towards somewhere that might sell these, ideally with some blood angel type relation on the front. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcatus Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Have a look at Scibor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Sanguinary guard wings can be used with rather nice results. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Chaos warrior shields with the icons filed off are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snejk Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Chaos warrior shields with the icons filed off are great. I used those as "Boarding shields" for my Alpha Legion. They look awesome on regular Marines and would most likely look good on terminators as well. I especially like that they ar slightly curved like the regular marine shields in the assault boxes. Don't know what the terminator shields look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I just received a set of these in the mail today: http://hitechminiatures.com/_shop/userFile/hitech/picture/big/Angels_shields_gray_jpg.jpg They're definitely bigger than regular Terminator Storm Shields. I'm going to use them for my Honour Guard, personally. They'll practically be tower shields on power armoured models, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fury Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Here you go, from Hi_Tech: http://hitechminiatures.com/10/product/info/37 They are pretty large, I chose not to use the set I bought but maybe that's what you are looking for. I can post a pic with a terminator for a size comparison later tonight. :ph34r: ninjad. Yep, same shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can post a pic with a terminator for a size comparison later tonight. Yeah, they re quite big. I just tested them out on my HG and now I'm not sure about using them anymore. A bit too big. But I spent $20 on them after shipping so I feel almost obliged rather than compounding the cost by buying more shields :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yeah the high tech minatures ones are awsome shields, but I found them way to big for a normal marine. They look fine on my Terminator Librarian though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Angelus Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I used chapterhouse's wing shields. http://chapterhousestudios.com/index.php?r...;product_id=159 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Fancy Pants Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Have a look at Scibor. I used these for my PA Honor Guard. They aren't bigger than the TA shields, but they have a different shape to them so that might do something for you. Scribor also makes these, but they are smaller. Depends if you want a different look or just a "giant" shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokecity_m Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Cheers guys, lots for me to consider :) If anyone can stick a quick picture or 2 up so i can judge the sizes, that would be great. I'd like the terminator to have his head just above the shield it it was touching the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_giles Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks for the breadcrumbs on the shields. The Exorcists ones look like they'd fit my chapter pretty well, if I do decide to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fury Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 FWIW, here is a quick shot: The shield is just sitting on the ground leaning up on the guy, I guess I could have stick-tac'd it to an arm...but I didn't think of that till right now.

stokecity_m Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Cheers for the pictures they are a great help, The shields appear to be a little it too big but if i can't find anything else ill go with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 You could always try converting yourself. This was my attempt | And another. I actually found a "beware of dog" sign from Home Depot and used that. Cut the shape I wanted, used the handle from some SW shields I ebayed and added some deail. If you have BA icons to use, you can stick them on there. You could even go as far to use some green stuff to make raised edges around the sides or something of that nature. It's nice to be able to control the shape of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
