Help me decide on a shield!

[Leganoth]

I am going for a fantasy/late medieval/crusades look. For the fantasy part I am going to be getting these pauldrons: http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/p-5951-large-warrior-pauldrons-with-sword-breakers.aspx  (some people say it looks fantasy but thats opionion of some you may not think so)

My suit at the moment consists of this

Long chain shirt (long sleeve) it goes to mid thigh
Chain chausses
Chain coif
Great helm ( the one Sir Edward has)
and this tabbard http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/p-5128-knights-tabbard.aspx (got it from girlfriend for annivesery haha)

But anyways to the shields here are my options http://www.oakheartarmory.com/blanks.html  (any of them aside from the round shields)

[Sir Matthew]

Those paldrons look very 16th Century. I would say you are definitely mixing your time periods which is fine for fantasy armor and if you are putting together a kit of bits you like. I think one of the two round shields at the bottom would look very cool with that. But I am also more partial to that style than the heater or kite shield styles. Again, this should be a matter of what you think is cool to match your armor. You could always go no shield and carry two weapons, a sword and warhammer would look really sweet with your kit

[Sir William]

While I am partial to Heater Shield Blank 22inc by 34 inch stock # 30018 $25.00

And keep in mind, these are their basic sizes, but they can make any size shield you want, and in a lot of different shapes, curved as well.

[Sir James A]

I'm going to disagree with the group and say go with the 22x34 heater shield.

[Sir William]

Here's to hoping he got that.  lol

[SirNathanQ]

That is what everyone is saying to buy, Sir James 

Id go with that one too

[Leganoth]

Hmmm 30018 is good but what would be a good size in your opinions?

[Sir Matthew]

That is what everyone is saying to buy, Sir James 

Id go with that one too

I was odd man out as I suggested the round shields. But, I'm biased toward that style

^ LOL I like how we can hear you laughing in the background but that part was pretty hillarious

What about the Teutonic  Heater Shield 22 x 34 Stock #30107 $50.00. I little more but ready to go and matches your tabbard. On this subject, what is best to paint these with. Note it will be non combat only for show at ren faires.
