Denison512 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hey guys i've finally decided to stop lurking and make a post :P I've been wanting to make a boarding shield squad for my wolves (my great company is similar to that of Engir Krakendoom) however i'm somewhat stumped at to use to model them. While i could use the FW boarding shields they are relatively expensive as are the new siege breacher marines. that leaves me with a few alternatives: Scibor Shields. Beastmen Shields. Maxmini Shields. I'm not too fond of the Maxmini shields as they seem like something that would be carried by standard marine chapters rather than the good old sons of russ! Both the scibor and beastmen shields have a certain "wolfy" charm to them but they don't exactly scream "boarding shield". Thus i turn to you my fellow brothers with the following question: what do you think? do you have any alternatives or should i just suck it up and splash out on FW?

Rift Blade Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 What about the warriors of Chaos Shields? Sand off the Chaos stuff. I've used 2 for storm shields on my thunderwolf cavalry & have got several compliments on them. Maybe take 2 the same & join them or something. Was toying with the idea to give a storm shield to my Terminators &/or my version of Arjac. I agree with you none of the ones you linked really stand out for what you have in mind. Scribor also makes a set of Wolf Shields to, maybe those?

ZayWolf Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 i would use whatever shields you have laying about and just add bits or cut angels into them to make them different. We dont follow the codex astartes, we prefer to be different in both appearance, combat and Chapter organization. BUT if you got he money the warriors of chaos once are nice, just shave the heresey off and add wolf bits Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275231-space-wolf-boarding-shields/#findComment-3367964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A D-B Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 For my sadly-aborted Heresy-era Wolves, I was going to use Thunderwolf Cavalry shields on my Breacher Squad. I can recommend that as looking pretty damn killer.

Ozeryk_Sleipnijr Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 @ A B-D Why did you abort? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275231-space-wolf-boarding-shields/#findComment-3368230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greylocke Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 If you are looking for larger, more rectangular shaped shields that look like the STC type FW boarding shields ther is a company called Enigma Miniatures you might want to check out. They make a kit called "Barbarian Shields." It has 4 shields 3 of which are largers and squared off. The third looks like your standard round viking shield. The shields have a Norse feel with some totems like teeth and skulls but you will have to add wolf icons. If you are looking for round viking like shields. then I think the WHF Beastmen shields rock with very little modifications.

Denison512 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 @rift I considered that but i'm not to fond of the look personally, as i understand those wolf shields are designed to be stuck to vehicles like lan raiders and such onto doors rather than buying FW doors. @Zay i have the Beastmen shields lying about from my ill fated attempt at a Beastmen army haha so that would be the cheapest :P @ADB i've already got those storm shields spashed throughout the army already so i wouldn't like to repeat myself haha @Greylocke i saw those shields but i don't like the look of them tbh (i'm picky if you couldn't already tell) I think i might use the Beastmen shields and wolf them up with tails and the brass etch stuff you can get from FW :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275231-space-wolf-boarding-shields/#findComment-3368579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
