Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Does anyone know if these old shoulder pads: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat860013a&prodId=prod1110193

will fit the new tactical marines well? I can't tell if the old metal pads would look any good.

Perhaps, do you know a better place to get DA-esque shoulder pads?

Thanks much for your time.

I haven't tried these but the ultramarines ones fit fine. Most of the SM bits are designed to work between kits.

Only thing you might notice is that the border on the tac squad pads might be slightly thicker.

Then it depends how OCD you are

I used the Blood Angel ones on death company, khorne beserker and chaos space marine arms. I had to bend out the curve on the metal slightly because they were a little too small.

they often dont match plastic shoulder pads size wise. i'd check ebay for a plastic bit that is similar from a dark angel sprue.
