Hi all :slight_smile:

I need some help with some Dwarf Shields, mostly because I cannot see what they look like - also I need some size on them (how big are they compaired to normal dwarf shields). So if you can find me some pictures, or have some - I’ll be happy, if you will post them here - or send them to my mail.

First Shield: The shield which the White Dwarf being carried on by Bugman and Gotrek.

Second Shield: The shield which dwarf kind Alrik being carried on by his Shieldbearers.

I hope that you can help me, I need these information to complete my last Maneater to my CD army.

Cheers all :cheers

Well, I think I’ve seen these shields before. My first guess was Mercenaries but this turned out to be wrong or at least I could’nt find them on the online shop. I also checked Empire, high elves and the knight guys but no hit either.

have you tried to ask the guy who made this page where he took the shields from?

Since none of his units seems to be overly converted there must be an easy solution!

The shields that the various dwarf characters are being carried on as slightly larger then normal shields, not much but it is noticeable.

The swordsmen shields with the lion heads are from the one part empire spearmen. They might be pretty tricky to get brand new after they scrapped the puff and sash, but they sometimes show up on ebay.
