Hey, I'm looking at building an Iron Hands force and seeing as it is such a cool legion symbol, I was wondering if anyone knows any third party retailers that I can buy some iron hands shoulder pads off? Thanks.

You probably won't. Third parties don't usually carry FW stuff since it's lower-volume and more expensive, Chapterhouse's pads are awful, and it's hard to find the Deathwatch kit pads on Ebay in quantity. Forge World is probably your best answer.

Damn it, thanks anyway.

I have a bag of metal ones sitting around, but shipping to the UK is comically absurd!

Use something like Magimold and greenstuff to add the symbols to blank shoulder pads.
Aren't the logos and emblems on some of the kits? Drop pod marking, etc? Press one of them, and mold some onto the pads.

Actually if you found one of the shoulder pads out of the Deathwatch kit (it's got a sculpted pad for each of the First Founding Chapters, and a few more) this could work very well, since you'd have the pad in your mould as a guide to keep it centered.

I'm hilariously bad at that kind of thing unfortunatly, I just lack patience, creativity and the actual skill to do it lol. If one of you could do it for me I would pay you if you want? Really desperate to get IH shoulder pads

Casting from another pad is probably the opposite of creativity. I can't do it for you but I may be able to test it and post instructions/pictures of the process, I'll let you know.

Thank you

I think I have some iron hands shoulder pads lying around, how many are you after?

I'd like 30, but any amount is fine at this point xD
