Pictish Shields

Post by philqw78 »

Apparently they were only as strong as cheap toilet paper, not even Andrex and certainly not as strong as that one that the transvestites advertise. But did they have shield patterns? Where can I see some?

Off hand can't think that we know of anything specific so I'd go with designs based on the Pictish symbols we do know. Pretty much what LBM have done looking at those pics of the transfers (mind you Grpping Beast appear to have given their figs Hittite shields by the transfer shape :shock: )
