Wargaming’s Most Convenient Decals
Bringing the vibrant and complex world of 13th-century heraldry to your tabletop has never been easier. The Barons' War Shield Decals (01) are the ultimate solution for hobbyists who want to bypass the difficulty of freehand painting intricate banners and shields. This set features designs based on the prominent historical heraldry of the period, including the personal arms of legendary figures such as William Marshall, Robert FitzWalter, Robert d’Vere, and Guillaume II de Barres.
Designed by Steve Beckett, these decals are specifically tailored to fit [Wargames Atlantic] plastic medieval shields perfectly. Whether you are fielding a pristine vanguard of noble knights or a weathered company of veteran men-at-arms, the inclusion of battle-damaged versions ensures your army looks appropriately battle-worn and realistic.
Historical Precision & Ease of Use
These waterslide transfers are pre-cut, significantly reducing the preparation time required for your units. The set includes three unique sheets that cover a wide spectrum of the feudal system's colorful hierarchy. For players of The Barons' War, these decals provide the essential "finishing touch" that transforms a collection of plastic figures into a cohesive, historically accurate fighting force.
Tip: For the best results, apply a small amount of decal setting solution to the shield surface before positioning the transfer. Once the decal is dry, apply a thin coat of matte varnish. This will "melt" the carrier film into the paintwork, removing any silvering and making the heraldry look like it was painted directly onto the shield.
