Corsair Arbalesters - shields


Another oddity with these guys is to do with the shields.
It dawned on me that the bows with the dodgy join were supported by the shields,
as per illustrations on the GW site and elsewhere.
This implies that the 'spikes' on the shields are jammed into the ground in defence.
(Wiki - Pavise)
If so, why are there only two with spikes,
two in a left hand and two carried on their backs.


Too get the shield in position, perched on the edge of the base, supporting the bow, I needed to clip the rear end of the base 'tag' off
and move the model to the rear of the base as per model on left.

Now I'll reluctantly set them all aside till I find the correct brown.
