				<title>Boarding Shields - Testudo formation</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi everysquid, I was wondering which of the two boarding shield variants (made by <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(39);'>FW</span>) would be more suiting to form a turtle formation or <i>testudo</i>, akin to that used in battle by the roman legions. I am going to model a Legion Breacher Seige squad forming said maneuvre, and I am not sure which version would offer greater cover for the Space Marines. The other choice would be to scratchbuild them, but those lovely <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(39);'>FW</span> shields are quite tempting! Any thoughts?]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Check Scibor miniatures.  They have some 28mm roman legionnaire shields that should work.<br /> <br /> I've also found a set on Shapeways but they're around $4 per sheidl (in sets of 10) and not nearly as nice looking.<br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I think the normal boarding shields would lock together more easily. The Heresy era breaching shields are a bit of a funny shape.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Yeah you might be  better of with the <a href="http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=955#i/conversion_parts/big/sf_roman_shields_01.jpg" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Scibor shields</a>. They are 30mm tall and come in packs of 3. They also look suitibly Roman, if that was the look you were going for.<br /> <img src="http://sciborminiatures.com/i/conversion_parts/big/sf_roman_shields_01.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <br /> <br /> Alternatively you could try Maxmini's shields.<br /> They have two types. <a href="http://maxmini.eu/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_68&product_id=149" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Anti-riot gear</a> and <a href="http://maxmini.eu/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_68&product_id=103" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Mechanical shields</a><br /> <img src="http://maxmini.eu/image/cache/data/products/bits/MXMCB080_antiriotgear-441x315.jpg" border="0" /><img src="http://maxmini.eu/image/cache/data/products/bits/MXMCB006_mechanicalshields-441x315.jpg" border="0" />]]></description>

				<title>Boarding Shields - Testudo formation</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Depends if you wanna point the guns aka boarding shields or make a enclosed testudo. For enclosed my suggestion is Anvil Roman Shields. They are marine sized and cheap. Scibor ones are cool, but more pricey.]]></description>
