HighMarshalAlex Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I personally doubt we will ever get them back. There are some that look similar on shapeways, though I'm not sure of their quality Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365564-black-templars-storm-shields-from-forge-world-coming-back/#findComment-5574414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Forgeworld used to have several Black Templar kits, they're all gone now and haven't come back, these were just the last to go.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Ace Minis do two sizes on Shapeways which appear to be straight copies.

Acebaur Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Ace Minis do two sizes on Shapeways which appear to be straight copies. They aren't straight copies. But they are very good. I have them and I love them.

I have them and I love them. Have you by any chance got a size comparison of the different sizes with a BladeGuard? The FW termi ones just looked a little big.

Marshal Arthur Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 The Shapeway shields are sized well for the bladeguard.

Eberious Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Huh, was going to ask this myself, as coming around to ordering some for safe keeping and couldn't find them. Missed out on that then. :( Oh well, time to recreate them for self use out of the ones I do have.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Are those the ones they describe as vanguard sized?

SirJyo Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I had some FW shields saved up just in case. I decided to put them on my bladeguard to give them more personality: https://imgur.com/a/zF4tk59 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365564-black-templars-storm-shields-from-forge-world-coming-back/#findComment-5575000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I did the same to my Castellan, but found that his arm was just easier to make the conversion. The vets have too much of their arms attached to the shield to make it easy.

Marshal Arthur Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Are those the ones they describe as vanguard sized?I believe so, yes, because they’re sized for non terminator marines (such as vanguard veterans).

tvih Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I did the same to my Castellan, but found that his arm was just easier to make the conversion. The vets have too much of their arms attached to the shield to make it easy. I put a FW shield on both lieutenant and captain, as per my crusade thread, but yeah, same thing with the regular bladeguard... as well as being low on shields, unless I'd deprive my terminators of them. Even doing that I couldn't equip a 6-man bladeguard as well as the two HQs, since I seem to have a total of 7 shields. Anyway, yeah, it wouldn't be all that difficult to put the shields on the regular bladeguard, but you would have to either destroy the original shield for it for the "easy" way, or alternatively do some green stuff magic. I'm not gluing the orignal shields on so I can do further conversion later if I want to, the peg attachment will suffice in the meanwhile. That Ace Minis stuff seems certainly nice, though it gets a bit on the pricey side with shipping in Europe.

SWORD BROTHER RYAN Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Man, I'm now glad that I got 2 sets of them more than a year ago. I still have 1 set unused to make molds from to spruce up my army in a few ways. Looks like I'll have to keep it that way.
