There are some pictures showing slingers with shields.
Was it common for slingers to have shields?
What would be the benefit of having a shield? I suppose it won't give any protection from in-coming missiles, but the shield would make it possible for them to fight other skirmishers in melee.
My figures will not have shields, but they have been design with shields in mind so it is possible to add a shield to them.

Here is a random picture I found on internet. He is a
Thracian, but I have no idea if they really had shields (I could of course look
it up in Webber’s excellent book “The gods of battle”, but I am at work right now).
