Hey guys, I have soo many custom shoulder pads and a bunch of Primaris from Dark Imperium... does anyone have any good advice, techniques or even tutorials on how to go about removing all of the easy-built-on shoulder pads?

Thanks!

You could either carefully shave down the outside of the pad until you can put the new one on.

Or, you could chop the whole shoulder off, and connect the arm to the shoulder to the torso using a hidden blob of greenstuff under the shoulderpad.

In my experience you can actually be a little messier than you would think. Especially as the custom pad will cover over the majority of what you cut away.

Unfortunately its a trim away and see process. Main thing I suggest is doing so before committing the arm to the body!

I had the same deal when creating my Primaris Celestial Lions!
