I have a quick question for anyone who happens to be lucky enough to own both Valen and Hagel. I would like to add Valen to my cohort, however, I am not a big fan of his shield. I was thinking about taking the shield that Hagal has on his back, and giving it to Valen, as it would fit the "Norse" aesthetic more. I have not been able to find any images of an un-assembled Valen, particularly how the shield attaches, so I'm not entirely sure how difficult this would be. Any assistance is much appreciated. |

Hmm...it's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure Valen's shield arm is holding a handle and has a flat part that goes along his forearm. The shield itself attaches to the flat part. Should actually be pretty easy for conversion work. Post pics when you're done! |

I am lucky enough, and I don't see any problem with this idea. Hagals shield is massive, much bigger than Valens, so be prepared for that. But I see no other issues. Does Valen seem Norse to you? |

Thanks, I guess I will just have to pull the trigger, and see what I can do once the models arrive. Hopefully Hagal's shield wont look comically large on Valen. In my eyes, Valen (without the helmet), has a "wild" look to him, and he seems like he could fit right in with the the rest of the Zephyri. |

I totally agree that helmetless Valen, especially when painted with blonde hair, looks very viking-y. For that same reason, I took that Valen head and used it to replace the head on my Hagal. So I sometimes forget that that is meant to be the Valen head.

I can also take a photo of Hagal's shield next to Valen when I get home from work. |

Excellent, thank you. Might need to re-position Valen's arm a bit, but I think I can make that work without looking silly. |

I think so too. And having just assembled Frigge, I can say that Frigge's shield is almost as large as Hagal's shield. |
