Yah I know I can use transfers but I really prefer the raised tactical shoulder pads if I have them raised with the chapter symbol. Do you guys think GW will release some plastic tactical shoulder pads? The old old metal ones were not even to scale but at least it was something.

**Hanskrampf**

No. We already have the Upgrade kits for Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels and Space Wolves. More chapter symbols can be found in the Deathwatch sprue.

Most First Founding chapters can use the legion shoulder pads from Forge World.

Like tactical squad marking, assault squad, devastator squad, and so on? I wish they would! I like the etched shoulder pads 108x more than the transfers.

A user named Zywus on the forums here just recently pointed me to this site. So much moneys will be spent...

Yah more to what kronk said, the tactical and assault arrows or the dev explosions. They would be a very fast sale for me.

That site is cool but it's expensive for 3D printed stuff

GW used to do metal tac, dev, assault and veteran shoulders, they weren't that good but you can get them on ebay probably - if you're playing in a GW that insists on 100% legit stuff.

Who knows, enough people wanting this could get them doing a print on demand
