I am working on a Saxon and Pict army and want to add some nice shield designs, with decals.

The Little Big Man designs are good but I hate! to cut out all those little circles where the shield boss goes or the longer bosses on big shields.

Can anyone recommend 25mm shield decals for Saxons or Celts (400-500AD ish) with centers already cut out?

Thanks much.

If they're circular bosses, Steve alrady punches the LBMS transfers. Has that changed?

No it hasn't, I still punch the holes in round bosses.

Good: I thought so. Square bosses (as for Romans) are easy. Generally, if there's a long spine, Steve designs it in two pieces anyway, and a pair of embroidery scissors does the job nicely.

P.S. Steve: one last Samnite shield, and one last Gallic shield: pleeeease?

Sorry Allen, I know you have been waitng for those for ages. I do intend to do them and will try and make an effort to get them sorted in September once I get my latest Victrix Box art duties out the way. (I need a clone!:o)
