My Method and Tips for using Little Big Men Transfers

In this video I show my way of applying Little Big Men shield Transfers.
Top tips are to BASE THE SHIELD WHITE! this is very important for the transfer to have the desired colour effect.
Another tip is to always check your transfer shape matches the shield you are trying to apply it to.
Hope you enjoy!

Definitly worth it, better to go through and cut them all then try and paint the same design on each shield. Great tutorial Matt.

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

Thanks man :) I happy with how they eventually turned out

[@zedeyejoe]

Ever thought of using Veni Vidi Vici transfers instead. Printed on clear carrier film, shaped for the shield, so no cutting out required. Since the background is transparent, you can paint the shield the colour of your choice.

I haven’t heard of these but I will defiantly take a look into them next time I’m adding to my ancients

One of the best tutorials I have seen for using these transfers! very helpful. Your miniatures look amazing as well! Thanks for sharing

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

Thankyou Dan :) these transfers really help the minis pop!

[@horuslupercal9936]

The whole cutting the transfer in 1/2 seems like a pretty fiddily process.

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

Yes these scutum shields are fiddly but other shields such as round shields don’t require to be cut in half

Very useful. Never realised more to it. I have some viking transfers to use at some point. Thanks.

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

Glad you found it helpful :)

Very useful Matt. You pick up a lot of tips doing these things so hopefully you’ll save a few people from having to learn the hard way. 👍

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

Anyone who reads the instructions should be fine but obv I though I knew better and deceived not to follow them haha

[@warpaintjj]

Cheers chum, not as tricky as I imagined!

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

Thanks :) glad you found it useful!

Great tips Matt. I could have used this about 5 years ago when I had my first experience with LBM decals. They are awesome decals.

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

I made a few mistakes first time round but it was my fault for not having a look on UA-cam or ready the instructions properly :) I do love the decals! Glad I bought them

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks for the tutorial. I struggled the first time I tried using the transfers.

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

They can be a bit fiddly but once you’ve done a few they because quite easy :)
