Assault Terminator shields, alternatives


Recommended Posts

So, I am pondering making up some Imperial Fist assault terminators, but am rather underwhelmed by the shields that they come with by default.

 

Does anyone have some suggestions for alternatives? I am trying to aim for a bulky look, tower sheild like, but I just can't for the life of me think of where I might them.

There's a guy selling some nice alternatives on eBay, I've ordered a set that should be coming in the next few days, so I can post some pictures of what they'd look like with yellow terminators. They look pretty ready to take a brass etch or a decal to make for a quick detail.

 

Edit: Here they are painted.

I like this style a bit more than most of the other replacements I've seen.

Forge world have some very smart boarding or breaching marines with very tough and solid looking shields, worth a look

 

The boarding shields seem to have normal marine arms attached, and the breaching shield squad is an actual squad, full models and all, so I'm a little reluctant to buy an entire squad just to take the arms (though they are nice shields, and I may not have another option).
