weeman Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 With the Burning of Prospero on the horizon I think I want to turn at least 10 of the mkIII into breachers/immortals for my iron hands. I was thinking of using the Secutarii upgrade pack from forgeworld when I next do an order (https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-ES/Mechanicum-Secutarii-Hoplites-Upgrade-set#). How do you think they'd look. Or are there any third party you'd suggest or just maybe wait for an upgrade pack from forgeworld to come out.

Aeternus Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 ML shields do a range of breacher shields/vehicle accessories. Here's their (painted) current IH versions (Teq size back, Meq size forward) and a comparison with a mkIv marine.

IronDrake28 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 These are very nice looking, I've purchases some Ultramarine versions before and I loved them. http://www.shapeways.com/product/5R9FSYHJ8/10x-mech-hand-legion-marine-shield-w-hand?optionId=59163720 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327024-alternative-breacher-shields/#findComment-4537804 Share on other sites More sharing options...

apologist Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Anvil industry produce these ballistic shields – and perhaps of even more importance, they produce arms scaled to GW Space Marines in different styles to go with them. I've not bought these particular pieces, but I've been very impressed with the quality of the other bits I've bought from them, so I'd be happy to recommend.

Don't those shields look a touch small for marines? The arms look good though. I may or may not have 40 asterion moloc shields laying around for my blood angel breachers... How on earth did you get 40 of those shields?

Currently there are no vehicle/rhino upgrades for the Iron Hands yet, but there are for other legions. Also if you needed arms to put the shields on, Anvil Industries have agreed to co-operation so now for a bit extra you can order 5 of their shield arms along with the shields themselves from ML.

Don't those shields look a touch small for marines? The arms look good though. Yes, they're scaled for some models from Anvil's Afterlife line, which is basically true-scale 28mm humans. Way too small for marines unless bring used to represent a combat shield. Anvil have other shields, but they don't really fit the 'breacher' aesthetic.

Terminus Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 ML is now partnering with Anvil to sell shields and arms together. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327024-alternative-breacher-shields/#findComment-4542045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
norngahl Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Ordered SoH shields today. Very nice contact, but takes 1-2 weeks for production and shipping as its a one man army ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327024-alternative-breacher-shields/#findComment-4542117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare84 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 You can get off shapeways as well. A guy on there is making some quite cheap. But his international postage cost is a joke.
