Warg rider - the simplest thing to do is take one with a pike and rotate the arm and put a banner on the pike. Another alternative is to cut off a sword, drill through the hand and use a brass rod or paper clip to use as a banner.
If I was to cut off a shield on one of the orcs, I would clip as close as possible to the arm and then use a sharp x-acto knife to shave the rest off. Then use liquid green stuff to add texture to the smooth area.

Depending on the pose you can sometimes change a two handed weapon or spear equipped mini down to one handed and avoid the issue with removing shields altogether.
Orcs are pretty rough looking so you can get away with some rough conversion work. A cheap EBay bits auction can go a long way towards new arms without shields. Consider in particular historical gaming bits from Warlord Games, Wargames Factory, Perry Miniatures. These tend to be on the same smaller end of 28mm that GW Orcs are.

Give it a try and be sure to post an image of your attempt - we'd be keen to see them.
