I would like to put some shields on my various Rohan heroes that unfortunately come shieldless. Since I am utterly and completely talentless when it comes to sculpting, I doubt I'd be able to make even a simple circle with a boss on it to make it look viking-like, so I am down to the following options:

Make casts of other Rohan shields (Eorl's comes to mind) and put them on.

-OR-

Buying shield bitz from somewhere. So far I've found the following:

http://wargamesfoundry.com/weapons_and_shields/shields/any/any/viking_shields_wp026/?sector_id=

Any other ideas or good sites to find just Rohan/Viking style shields?

You could use Instamold and make some copies of rohan royal guard shields for example.. it's not that expensive, got mine from ebay for 6,50, and it's reusable so it's almost certain that it will pay off in the future..

I never even heard of Hoard o bits! Brilliant store! Also, thanks for the video. Maybe I'll post a WIP once I get around to this.
