The small shields that go onto the pauldrons are called rondels, they are designed to protect the weak spot of the armor by the armpit. These were used mainly during jousting to provide more protection however they weren't limited only to that game. Period wise it was more costly to use such and thus a design of the armor to make the pauldron extend further over the chest to make up for weak spot in the armor.
@PeteTheWargamer4 жыл бұрын
There's a lot of inspiration to draw on from historical sources when you're converting, it's little details like this that really add character to your work.
@jakemarsh89676 ай бұрын
Well rondels are specifically circular, and can go on really any part of the armor. These are tilt shields, also called an ecranche, which is specifically in a more angular & shield-like shape. I'm just being nitpicky, I know

The easiest way to do the transformation is several simple steps. First, find the Sargeant or chaplain of the battle brother to open the SM's room locker and to keep him busy. Second steal his blanket or chapter issued teddy bear. Third, find his vox music caster and glue it to the religious channels. Then tell the SM his room was raided by either A a codex compliant chapter you dislike, or by tzeentch. As he gets mad tell him the chapter got a fund together to pay for his camo paint in all black for a teddy bear night rescue raid. Voila rinse and repeat til you have Templars. Warning, repeated stealing of chapter approved teddy bears will lead to a formation of Angry Marines... no one wants an infestation of Angry Marines. This method is approved by Rogal Dornan for use on anyone up to Chapter Master level.
