Does anyone know where I could find shoulder pads for space marines that look like lions heads? My DIY chapter is based on the Lannisters (aesthetically) from ASOIAF and I know I've seen pad like that before but for the life of me I can't remember where.... any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

The only lions head shoulder pads I have any seen is the Astral Claws shoulder pads from Forge World. Trouble is you only get 1 lion head pad in the set of 10. It does look awesome though.

Something like this? There is another company that makes a lion's head shoulder pad, but I can't recall which off the top of my head.

Scribor has some in there conversion parts section. =P

Was gonna post Scibor as well, but was beaten too it... personally the best/better looking ones that Ive seen available.

Careful with the Scibor pads though, they are much better suited for terminators than your average power armored marine

The Scibor pad were the ones I was thinking of.... Termies you say.... think I could use a bit of Green Stuff to get them to work?

as for the chapterhouse ones they look like just the thing to use as my chapter symbol great find good sir, great find! Great find which is gonna cost me a lot of money because every Tac marine is gonna have one...

What about the shoulders from the White Lion kit? With little conversion, I imagine they should fit well.

Well, they should fit on the marines without issue, its just that (from what I have seen) they are a noticably larger than standard power armor shoulder pads, so your minis might look a bit weird if you're not into that 'look'

The chapterhouse ones look like crap and the scibor ones while nice are terminator/biggerized marine size. The best method in my experience is to do a simple greenstuff sculpt of the logo you want onto a shoulder pad, make a simple press greenstuff mold from this, and quickly replicate the design to all the pads you need.

The scribor ones will only be for my HQs and maybe some Elites so the size should add to the grandious look I'd want for them and on closer inspection of the other ones they do look a little poorly done but my greenstuff skills arent that great either....but I guess now would be a great time to sharpen them up. Good call
