geometric shape on the shield for me, please

The headdress looks awesome. If you do go for a mixture of mask and headdress o just headdress, that'd be pretty sweet as well

What type of shield do you prefer? I want it to be a depiction of an elder - but how stylized shoule it be?

Not too sure about the feathers only approach. I can see you are struggling a bit there. I too think the head is just peachy as is so it will be hard to top. Have you considered a crest approach, rather than a feather tiara?

On the shields, abstraction is key. Especially at this scale. Very nice designs by the way.

Excellent stuff here!
Prefer headdress only , shield on the right, and the fluff is awesome! I just found out about your lines about a month and a half ago, and I'm now looking at moving my entire mini budget your way. Love the way you run things! keep it up!

For the shield the more abstract the better IMO. Could we maybe get a shot of the options at actual size? Might provide a better idea of how much detail will show up. Really don't like the shield on the right though.

Too many dots or balls or whatever. I understand their function, but at 6mm, that's a lot of "light sources" that could take away from the other detail, I think.

I like the helmet/ headdress mix. Although I think headdresses could be a good look for command models. For the shield I like middle option best and the plain option could lend itself to making unit distinct with unique glyphs painted in the center. Excellent looking stuff.

I kind of liked the helmets. But a mix might be the way to go. Like the plain shield option.

I like the helmets and the middle shield option. The close combat option is also excellent!
These are shaping up to be a awesome range!

I like the middle shield BUT I think from a gaming/miniatures paining point of view the Left shield is better, more area to paint motif/custom symbol/colors.

+1

Mixture of left and middle for me. Not keen on the rounded frog face on the third.

Left shield and middle shield for me too. I really like the middle one, but I know people would also like to be able to put on glyphs of their own, so it really depends on if you're going for a market of buyers who will mod, decal or freehand their minis, or buyers who just want to paint it straight up.

The Middle one ... Kind'a reminds me of the old 40K Lizardman glyphs I use on my Lizzy Temple ... which will also make a good Tzacol temple too. The Lizzys and Frogs are going to have to work it out ... like a Time Share Condo in Florida ...

Thanks for the input guys!

I think I'll do the headdress only, save the full helms for another unit.

I'll also use the left shield for 6mm, and the middle for 15mm versions...
