So what to do?

Options include:

The Enchanted Drum
My Black orc musician has a magic drum that adds +1 save at the cost of 1pt per black orc in the unit.

Gots what the boss's got.
Model the unit champion and standard bearer with shield, now they all have them. As its only the command.

Fiat
They got shields ok.

Glue shields on.
And number all the bases and pray I they all fit.

Dont bother.
Its all a waste of points because.....


I am not interested in a poll, I prefer actual posted answers, raw volume of opinion doesnt count much IMHO.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901134.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901134.page GMT Counts as shields WoC I don't go with shields. I hope that answers one of your questions.

About the shields on models - don't worry about it. Every Black Orc are equipped with two choppas and a great choppa yet you only see one option on each model. But if it really bothers you I would probably use the regular Orc Boyz shields and put them on their back.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901147.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901147.page GMT Counts as shields
Can you see any reason to use shields in melee when you have two choppa or great weapon. Most opponents would require one or the other, normally the great weapon.

If shields are not really needed at all in melee then the Enchanted Drum +unit pts sounds best to me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901487.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901487.page GMT Counts as shields HW in combat. There are times when i'm up against a lot of enemies and I want the Black Orcs to survive as long as possible so that my Night Goblins can attack the enemy unit in the rear or flank. Heck, sometimes I even use shield and HW against Skaven slaves just to make sure that I won't lose that many expensive Black Orcs to 2pt trash.

But really, don't worry about the shields. No one will point it out. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901510.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901510.page GMT Counts as shields

Your Avatar frightens and confuses me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901558.page GMT Counts as shields TFG bothering you about the lack of actual shield models. Fit whatever ones you can and don't worry about the rest. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901625.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3901625.page GMT Re:Counts as shields ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3903956.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3903956.page GMT Re:Counts as shields http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3903966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3903966.page GMT Counts as shields http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3904022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3904022.page GMT Counts as shields The guy said that they just dropped the shield to pull out that extra choppa/great weapon. Don't worry, they will pick them back up if you shoot at them.

Put shields on some but dont be too worried about it.

However I am not saying full on proxies are fine (a goblin is not a giant) but dont feel so uptight about that kind of thing in fantasy as many players get in the 40k community.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3911518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429254/3911518.page GMT
