Features & Specifications Brand: Little Big Men Studios / Victrix Ltd Scale: 28mm (1:56) Category: Dark Ages / Upgrade Kits Product Type: Waterslide Shield Transfers Sheet Code: PICT(VL)1 / Sheet 1 Contents: 18 pre-cut waterslide transfers featuring authentic Dark Age Pictish and Scots heraldry (including fish, boars, wolves, stags, spirals, and abstract geometric tribal carvings). Compatibility: Sized exclusively to fit Victrix Limited Picts and Scots plastic miniature sets. Packaging: Secure paper backing enclosed in a clear, lightweight protective sleeve for pristine online-only delivery. Dimensions: Overall sheet measures 3.5” W x 5.25” H. Tip: For an absolutely flawless application, paint the face of your plastic shields with a solid coat of gloss varnish or smooth white primer before applying the waterslide. The slick surface prevents microscopic air bubbles from trapping beneath the sheet, completely eliminating silvering and making the intricate tribal borders blend seamlessly into the shield edge. Recommended Essentials The Perfect Canvas: Apply these transfers directly to your Victrix Picts and Scots plastic box sets to turn standard rank-and-file infantry into elite tribal champions and chieftains. Weathering the Storm: Once the transfer is completely dry, apply a very thin coat of matte varnish over the entire shield face, followed by a light brown wash to simulate battlefield mud, wood grain, and worn leather. The Raider Link: Use these distinct animal icons to separate your army into thematic raiding clans—such as a dedicated Boar or Wolf faction—for skirmish campaign play. Maintenance & Care: Use a clean, damp Precision Q-tip or soft hobby brush to gently press down on the transfer from the center outward, wiping away any excess moisture during the sliding process.
