mertbl Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Picked up a pair of the deathwatch heavy thunder hammers tonight from a local guy to build my own smash captains for my raven guard. Anyone else done this and how would you model the storm shield? I'm thinking of maybe using the combat shield from the assault squads. Maybe throw a little more tech stuff or purity deals to make it look better.

Kinstryfe Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I kinda love either using the wings from Sanguinary Guard as shields, or the storm shields from Custodes. The Custodes shields should be available readily as well from anyone who's built some with guardian spears. The Sanguinary wings though can look really cool as shields for avian or angelic chapters. As far as attaching them with the hammer, that'd be tougher, and a smaller buckler like the combat shield may make sense unless there's somewhere on the model you can easily attach a shield. Though now I kinda wonder if you could work the wing into the shoulder as a sort of integrated shield...

FlamingDeth Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Source some AoS/fantasy shields! The more detailed ones always look captainy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349023-diy-smash-captain-shield-question/#findComment-5127906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unseen Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I used that same hammer for my captain, for the shield I used what is probably supposed to be a combat shield, and my hand drill to put a magnet in the top of the captains hand and another in the underside of the shield. The shield has a slot to fit it onto a vambrace, but it also neatly fits over the hand that holds the bottom of the hammer, so the magnet locks the shield into place nicely. Let's me run captain Smash with the shield, or the combi-melta I sometimes like.

Joukernaut Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I picked up a very pretty shield from scibor miniatures. Unfortunately the one I picked up isn't going to do your raven guard captain any good. *fixed the turned and warped image Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349023-diy-smash-captain-shield-question/#findComment-5128469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
