Post subject:  Conversion: shields to GotFC, which shield?
guardians of the fountain court, they like to take shields and become D7, an easy conversion also, but I would like to be more realistic and precise about the type of the shield I will actually let em hold.

Current options:

1) Generic WoMT shield: no... It's not of their size...

2) Numenorean shield: the shape is ok but i would like it more "runners", longer like this:

Also the tree is not the one used in the third age, which makes it less realistic.

3) Some people in older conversation about the same topic suggested dark elf shields. Fine shape but no tree at all. there is no way I could paint it or mold it, I seek for an easy solution..

Have anyone seen in the films if any GotFC is holding a shield, cause I think I havnt seen anyone, but somehow in my mind i have em like holding some nice long shields....

Could always create one shield and then use 'friendly plastic' or Blu stuff to create a press mold.

The 2nd age shields are a better match lore-wise as the GotFC are not under the authority of the Steward like regular soldiers are. I thought that they still had the old tree emblem on their chest armour, but I am mistaken. I still think the numenor shields are the best fit.

I don't think you will find a better shield than the few you have already mentioned. The shields with long tips are more for cavalry if I understand correctly because they can't move as freely to protect themselves.

Agreed, but is there a way to make em longer? I supose no but qq...

Yeah this is what I mean, I searched it and you are right they are for cavalry indeed...

Of course, but the subject here is the first shield.
