In Mortal Gods some to the scenarios played require objective markers. these can be anything as long as they fit on a 40mm base. So these give a little opportunity to create a little story or moment in time and I have for this one.

Before the Spartans started using the iconic Lambda (Λ), standing for Laconia or Lacedaemon, Spartans painted there shields like the rest of the Greeks. Each warrior would paint a symbol or device on there shield to mark them mark on the battlefield. Most painted large, colourful designs on there shields but one painted a life size bee on his shield. Everyone laughed at the bee saying why, the warriors reply was simple, when you are up close it will be large enough to see.

I have based this shield, which actually I think is a mirror for Warbases, on this story.
