Upcoming release of new metal shoulderpads.

WD october has shoulderpads for: Mentors,Aurora,praetors of orpheus

Sets of 10 at 7,50 € (germany).

Now we need only shoulderpads for the 980 chapters without.

That's really great news! Maybe we will see more Mentors on the battlefield. Maybe as counts-as Sternguard?

Very cool. shoulder pads always make for a more detailed looking army...


Anyone got a link to where I can buy metal pads for Devastators?

Any news on metal Devastator Shoulder Pads? They no longer sell them on there web site.

I wish they'd re-release the Legion of the Damned shoulder pads. With legionares in the elite slot it would be cool to do a whole army of them.

I'd like the salamanders shoulders back too

I think GW should release all the shoulder pads. Such as the arrow for the tact squads, dev pads, etc... I really like the new molds of the shoulder pads on the AoBR marines.

You can get Alpha Legion pads on the GW site, which I'm using for my Salamanders. They look quite nice with a nice drybrushing.

Heresy!

Er, or something like that!

GW should make shoulderpads with skulls.

Lord knows they'd sell...

Or metal Deathwatch Terminator Pads, and single-handedly destroy that section of the bitz market.

BYE

They use to have BA skull shoulder pads for BA 1st company, and you can still get them in Death Coy box.

I have 20 buy need to scrounge another 30 or so for 1st coy BAs....

Fortunately the BAs have chapter symbol and coy 2-5 in metal so I'm sorted for awhile...

Suprised they went with such obscure chapters when things like tactical and dev ones are much more needed.

Perhaps GW can do us the favor of an Spaz Marinz Chapter upgrade sprue that consists of nothing but screaming heads and bitz with skull decorations...

I thought they were all already like that?

Is it me or are the metal pads smaller than the current plastic pads?

I've got enough pads for a Battle Company but haven't used them yet because they seem smaller in comparison.

If they are smaller, is it noticeable once painted?

Amen to that! I need another 8 or so of the BA Skull Shoulder pads myself to finish off my VAS.

Vale,

Hey Flagg07 got any DEV pads for sell? I'm also trying to finish a battle company, and thats the only thing I need.

They are indeed smaller. You have to trim the shoulder back on the arm piece to get them to fit on properly.

Looks fine if its metal on both shoulder pads though, never seen a plastic/metal combo on a model though.

I believe the shoulderpads were meant as teaser to visit GW's website for more.

@Flagg07:

some examples of painted Spacemarines with metal chapter symbol left plus plastic shoulderpad right.

The best I can say is maybe...

<----- Hoping the combo of metal and resin pads works out nicely.
