Does anybody know of transfers other than VVV (Veni Vidi Vici)and LBMS (Little Big Men Studios).

I am looking for transfers to fit the new WF germans. I have some from VVV and LBMS but none of them fit.

I have tried
VVV: DD3 and BB2
LBMS: EG(WF)2, EG (WF)3 both listed under Wargames Foundry-

Here are the figures
link
Any other ideas?

Thanks

Unless you've got the exact shield dimensions I doubt you'll get much of a helpful response, as the figures aren't generally available yet.

Foundry makes set for rectangular shields. Try cutting decals in half before applying on shields. That way they are more likely to fit. Also, cutting out just the design from LBMS may work. I've never done it, but thought of it.

I'd presume that Foundry won't fit if LBMS designed for Foundry don't, though. "Butchering" a set might be the only current option….

You might try VVV's 15mm transfers – both barbarian and Roman auxilia styles.

I've used them with WF Celt shields and they work nicely as smaller designs.

The WF Ancient Germans are out?

Thanks everybody,

Bebe – They are not out yet but if you place a large order Tony may throw in a few sample sprues. These came with 150 Zulus.

Howard – 15mm transfers from VVV is a very good idea. I have ordered some in white and yellow.

Dom, – Here are some dimensions
Round:- 14 mm outer diameter, 13mm to inside edge, boss 3mm diameter.
Coffin: -Length 18mm, narowest width 5mm, widest 8mm also with 0.5mm border.

Have had a look at my old Foundry ones, and they're a no. I suspect I'll end up making my own when I get some of the figures.
