That would be a safe assumption. Interestingly, that would also imply that the ammo is stored and fed through the shield itself, which is a novel use of the magazine.Crookfur wrote:If I was to ever get this mini it would be getting converted to a spear or predominantly stabby pole arm because shield and halberd is triggering...
To be honest, so would I. Spear and shield has historically been an extremely common and effective combination on the medieval battle line, and no reason why it shouldn't be represented in Warhammer. Halberds on the other hand... well, let's just say they were great 2-handed weapons.
I imagine power armour helps there, but I cannot say I do not feel the same. If it were a smaller shield, or attached by a shoulder-strap, it would be a little more reasonable - but then, when have Games Workshop ever been that?
