Next year,2021,I intend doing a Viking campaign based in Spain (the Vikings,not me!) and as part of my meticulous(ridiculous?) planning I decided I would need a "shieldwall" for a couple of the battles-but I don't have a "shieldwall"-so what to do?-well,make one of course!
These two photo's show the first stage-ie. sticking existing shields onto a card base,the base is lined ready to fold when the second stage is reached.
Second stage-shields painted(roughly!) and ready to be photo-copied!
Shields photo-copied "umpteen" times,and ready for the next stage.
Card cut to size,the photo-copied shields will be stuck onto the card,for the final stage.
A cunning plan indeed!
ReplyDeleteHi Allan-cunning is my middle name(well,actually it's William!)-I hope it will suffice to indicate which units are in a shieldwall,and that was my aim-thanks,again,for your comments.

Hi John. Don’t know if that link will work. Still from The Last Kingdom. I think you need a second row of shields underneath and overlapping the top ones. Maybe in two more colours. Your shieldwall does the job. It’ll be clear that the warriors have taken a defensive stance. Great crafting yet again :-)
ReplyDeleteChris-I don't do linky-thingy's-I did think of painting legs beneath the shields,but my first effort made them look like "willys"!!! so I abandoned that idea,after all it's purely to indicate which units are in shieldwall dispositions-keep 'em coming!
