I was wondering if anybody knew if there were any sword-wielding meshes that also had a shield, because I can't seem to find any. Thanks in advance.
I think TM Conan has both a sword and a shield.
Check out FXForce (http://www.fxforce.com/FXINDEX.html), both Hexed Meshes (Taskmaster) and Photoskins. I think you'll find plenty there that you're looking for.
Ink's Black Knight does as well, but his animations are taskmaster based i believe.
