Grotsmasha Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hail Brothers of the Fang, I come to you seeking modelling aid. As some of you may be aware, Jaspcat is leading 'The Battle for Humanity' over in the HH and WIP forums. I intend on joining in and have settled upon the Duran (maybe Dulan?) conflict of which the story 'The Lion and The Wolf' comes, and the traditional duels that followed. I've decided to arbitrarily split my force in range units, DA, and cc unit, SW. I'm halfway through assembling an 20 man despoiler squad and have decided upon a 10 man Breacher squad next. On to the modelling, can someone post a pic of a side-by-side of the PA combat shield and the TDA Storm Shield. FW's Breacher Shields are a decent size and I feel as though the PA ones don't quite cut it, but want to be sure of the TDA ones before investing. I'll be posting a thread here with progress on my Wolves once I get the last of the Despoiler squad assembled, unless you guys don't want to wait?

Karack Blackstone Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Grab a SW TDA box, clip out a Storm Shield, and see what you think. That, or search fu a web browser for SW TDA Storm Shield or something similar and you should be golden.

That, or search fu a web browser for SW TDA Storm Shield or something similar and you should be golden. If I had $74 to spend, I might do that, but I don't. All I really need to know is, height-wise, how much taller is the shield.

Vash113 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Not enough to represent a breacher squad. The shields are more round, not tall. Comparing the two the Terminator shield is only a couple centimeters taller than the power armored shield.

Grotsmasha Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 @ Vash113: I'm assuming you mean mm, rather than cm? even 3-4mm taller is probably enough. This is what I'm thinking, Would really like to know how much taller than the PA one it is.

Emperor's Scourge Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Well a marine is two inches tall. A longer style SS stands about neck to knee on a normal marine. The FW breaching shield covers the entire body pretty much. I understand being curious before dropping cash, but there are plenty of pics on the net for reference. If you don't want to spring for the Breacher Squad kit then try out the Boarding weapons set from FW. It comes with shields and weapons only. FW also offers a resin iconography set that is fairly simple to cut down and bend to fit those plain flat surfaces.

mactire Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Go with the boarding shield set its pretty good value and the graviton guns look good (even though i didnt use them). Here are pics from my ETL vow to give you an idea of the size, hope it helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280634-hh-era-wolves/#findComment-3470251 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Fantastic, thanks dude. Although not quite as big as I'd hoped I think the difference will be enough. I'll be sure to post the results when they're finished.
