yesterday I popped to Hobbycraft to see if they had any pieces I could use for the new Midgard rules. I couldn't find any goblets but I did track down the beads needed for heroic deeds.
While I was travelling through the bead tray, I saw one that I thought would make a great Celtic shield.
It has a nice wrap around curve to it but more importantly, sports a nice Celtic swirly pattern.
Ancient Irish warriors fight with the sea devils.
It has a good level of detail to make it look well crafted and ornate. Once I sculpt a boss for the centre I think it will look just the ticket. Nice deep grooves that will catch ink and weathering very well. The swirl too is a very Celtic looking design.
This tub was £4 which is unbelievable for an armies worth of shields. I might end up using these beads as heroic deeds markers too as they won't roll unlike the rounder ones.
You can get a next size up in container to fill with your beads for £8, again for hundreds of shields this isn't bad. The small tub should be enough though.
