Hi everyone, so I made some conversions of High Elf Spearmen from some of the old last alliance minis, and I was wondering if anybody knew where to get High Elf Shields? I don't want to buy a whole bunch of Spearmen from Games Workshop and would much rather make my own from the guys I have left over. But the only problem is I just have no way of giving them shields.
Do I need to use products like Insta Mold to make casts of the shields?
Or can I actually buy it from somewhere online?

There are similar shields in the Galadhrim warriors set. Not the most economic choice but I didn't see any single shields on Ebay during a quick search. Maybe using shields from Warhammer Elfs and paint them with some lotr pattern :P Or ask around your friends.

You will need to use a mold product. You are not able to re-sell items which have been copied, so you will not find it anywhere on the internet.

Or if you want to look outside the GW range, these are a reasonable, albeit imperfect substitute. http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=954

Thanks guys, I've gotten a lot of great feedback. I'm not much a fan of the Warhammer Elves shields, and I think my best bet would be to either make my own out of casting with Instamold or another solution provided from you guys.
