Just curious to see how people paint shields for their WFB troops.

depends on the model or how close the shield will be (rank and file i glue bigger captains and generals i do not)

Heh, added that as an option .

In most cases I even prime them on the sprue so that they don't fly all over the place.

I'm definitely going to be painting the models first and then the shields when I get my Dark Elves Battalion later on this week.

I voted, even though it's more of an "in theory" item that an actual one for me...

Hrm, so I'm not the only one who does this, then.

Ya'll just use a dab of glue to tack 'em on afterward, or a bit of GS?

Glue everything together, then paint. If the brush can't reach the spot, no need to paint it. Once the model gets on the table, nobody is ever going to notice.
