Shield Wall

The large shields of Esgaroth make for a very good shield wall. These detailed shields were bought off eBay, they were listed under ‘Viking shields’, well worth looking up. A bit of dry brushing saves you a lot of work with painting decals.

 The new supplement for Oathmark supplies rules for skirmishers and more importantly, shield walls. This should be very handy for this army and of course my Dwarves of the Iron Hills.

I was inspired by the cover art to add some arrows to the shields. Hopefully this will give a much better shield wall vibe.

These are made from plastic brush bristles with a blob of Gel super glue on them. When dry they will be painted black for Goblin arrows.
