So I'm planning on doing a Minotaurs chapter space marine army, I already have Moloc and the chaplain from forgeworld and will be ordering the contemptor dreadnaught, shoulder pads, brass etchings and the like soon enough. The problem is the mk8 armor they are described as having in great quantities and getting my hands on shields similar to Moloc's to use on terminators as storm shields. Other than the front chest piece, what other gw bits are part of the mk 8 errant power armor set and if possible could pictures be posted so I know what I'm looking for.

In regards to the shields, anyone know where I can find something to use or know a relative easy way to make something similar despite we'll say lackluster gs'ing skills.

Any help the community can provide is much appreciated

Anvil Industries makes some pretty cool shields that I think are what you're looking for: http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_86&product_id=83

I like those...I like those a lot in fact. Any idea's regarding mk 8 armor pieces I should be tracking down?

You can get the torso bit on bits sites for cheap.

I'd have to recommend Anvil for torsos: http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=77_67&product_id=216
