I've noticed that for awhile now Roman shield tranfers have not been listed on the Early Imperial Romans page.  Are the shield transfers only temporarily out of stock or have they been discontinued?

I am interested in this also. It is possibly driving me to a different figure scale.

Wouldn't drive me to a different scale, but I do need to finish off my 6mm Roman Legions.  I can hand paint a decent enough Roman eagle design if you squint just right, but the transfers are vastly superior.  Anyone know if they will be back in stock?

Our regular supplier has gone out of business.  We are looking at another option which is looking promising, so stay posted for an update on this shortly.


I have plans.   I am dangerous when I have plans...

To me roman shield transfers in this scale are not worth the time and effort. On the opposite, the greek oplon shield transfers are magnificent! I paint some 600+ hoplites, all of them worth the time to apply every single transfer (because of the variety of look you can achieve). Let me try to post some pictures..

When I returned to this pastime after a lengthy absence my ambition far outstripped my ability (it still does). However, acceptance of the "Three Foot Rule" and the knowledge that most of the people I played with were half-blind BEFORE they started drinking meant that early Imperial Rome shield designs weren't too much of a problem. Celtic shield designs, on the other hand......

TRANSFERS FOR THE BRITS! Surely, at this stage of the Borisocalypse we've earned them.
