Third-Party Alternatives: Storm Shields

[Disruptor_fe404]

Friends, Imperials, battle-brethren! Lend me your ears!

 

I'm contemplating a future project and am currently in the assessment/feasability stage.

 

If any of you have tried & tested any third party suppliers you have used, or designers you have had good results from, I would like to hear of them. Actual parts for sale would be ideal, but I do have free access to quite a good 3D printer via my workplace so files are of interest as well.

 

What am I looking for? I am looking for storm shields that are scaled for, and compatible with: the current Bladeguard Veteran kit, and the current Deathwing Knight kit, or (as a somehwat distant third choice) the current Terminator Assault Squad kit.

For the Bladeguard, I am in particular looking for alternative shapes that still have generic-but-fitting Imperial aesthetics. A perfect example is the rectangular shield with writing and gladius mounted on it, which is available to the Bulwark in Space Marine 2.

For the Deathwing Knights, similar shapes to current their shields but with somewhat more generic aesthetics, and then as a lower priority I'm also interested in some alternative shapes.

 

So tell me of your conversion forges, brothers! And perhaps inspiration will strike me.
