I've used shields from Freikorp to improve the Essex hoplites. You can see the results here: link |

I only bought a sample of 8 shields with no intention of using them on the Essex figures at the time. I saw the CB pack yesterday, by chance. Very handy! I've used the hopla for my Carthaginians. However, they're a fraction bigger than the Freikorp ones, and I think they'd be a bit big on the fairly small Essex figures. BTW, how many shields are in the shield packs? |

Thanks, I'll remember that. I like to have a stock of shields for conversions, and some of the CB ones are very nice. |

I've made a start on getting an army of these completed. I've now completed the conversion of six more elements of these figures (they just need to be painted): link |

I've painted the shields of these figures; they're now over half done: link |
