Victrix Limited provides the essential defensive foundation for 28mm historical and fantasy kitbashing with this Dark Age Round Shields accessory pack. Precision-molded in high-detail gray polystyrene, this Dark Ages Collection release contains 48 authentic round shields engineered to replace fragile or heavy white metal castings, complete conversion projects, and outfit custom shield walls. Each shield features a smooth front curve with a prominent central iron boss, paired with realistic wood-grain plank texturing and bracing across the reverse side. Engineered across 2 high-density frames (24 shields per sprue), this pack is tailored specifically to integrate with the Victrix range of LittleBigMenStudios (LBMS) shield transfers for Vikings, Late Saxons, Anglo-Danes, and Rus warriors. Whether you are mass-producing an impenetrable front line for early medieval shield-wall tactics, converting Dark Age infantry, or detailing longships and battlefield barricades, these lightweight plastic shields eliminate the weight and surface preparation challenges of traditional metal bits.

Tip: When mounting these smooth round shields to plastic or metal miniature arms, use a liquid Plastic Cement for plastic-to-plastic joins or a drop of gap-filling cyanoacrylate for metal miniatures. The chemical weld on plastic joints fuses the shield boss directly to the forearm contact point, ensuring shields stay firmly anchored during gaming.
