Hi guys, as some of you may no. I'm doing a WOC Tzeench army. for the shields I don't want the undivided symbol on it, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows were I can
buy about 30 of the icons from? or do they come on the sprue?

Something like this? If they are the same size as the one in the chaos accessory sprue(what i asume) they are roughly 1 x 1,5 cm and should fit on most shields. Just sand the shields clean and glue those on.

I did that with the link provided. Sanding down is pretty easy, you just clip the spikey bits and sand the rest with rough grit, then fine. The metal icons do need some bending, which is a pain, but you can fudge it a little with just the edges. Results here

Thanks for the tips fellas.
but i had a friend recommend to me something called "blu stuff"
its like a cast kinda thing ill link watch the vid....
pretty cool stuff than just melt some green stuff pore it in and makes an exact mold of the item!

Well the problem is that copying bits that are made by GW isn't legal.

But let's just asume that you sculpted your own symbol onto a shield then you can make a nice press-mold with blu stuff. But depending on the quality of your mold you still won't get an exact copy of the symbol. Especially if you use green stuff as the putty you'll have a hard time getting sharp edges. If that isn't a problem for you, just try it. Or you could experiment with other sculpting putties like ProCreate or Milliput. They are cheaper than green stuff and are better for sharp edges.

True, I just don't wanna spend 50 - 55 bucks of must symbols

Copying bits for personal use isn't illegal, copying them to sell is.

GW models and bitz are intellectual property of Games Workshop and as such protected by IP rights. You aren't allowed to copy them even for personal use.

This is true, but like the pirating of a DVD most times they target the source "supplier" not the person doing it.
