===Shield Designs===
A selection of basic shield designs which can be provenanced by manuscript pictures or archaeological finds are illustrated below as a guide for members to base their own shield designs on.
Shields may be painted in up to four colours using these patterns, although one or two colours seem to be the most common. Remember all black shields are reserved for under 18’s on the battlefield.
Authentic period paint colours include red, orange, yellow, brown, black, white and grey. More rarely grey-blues, pale greens and other colours were also used, it is best to avoid rich blues or greens as these are rare or very rich colours.
