Bought a 5-man squad the other day for completionism's sake, got to the arms stage and... the whole "one shoulderpad" deal makes me want to chuck the whole squad into the bin. I guess an arm swap is in order perhaps? I can probably get some extra shoulderpads on eBay. Has anyone done this and ended up with something that looks better than GW's design?

I swear, as much as I like the Primaris range, the Reivers stand out as an example of geniune badness...

I cut down the small shoulder pad to fit a Deathwatch one on (since I have no better place to put Primaris than my Deathwatch).

As you can see I'm not thrilled by the power shorts so I gave hydraulics a try to account for their deep strike option. More for fun and seeing how it would look than anything else, really.

And at that point I put so much armor on that I thought rounding it off with the little heraldic shield couldn't hurt. Not that armor overload matters since they still wear fully enclosed power armor with a 3+ save just like everyone else.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749351/9800977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749351/9800977.page GMT Re:Primaris Reivers and their shoulder pads http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749351/9801009.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749351/9801009.page GMT Re:Primaris Reivers and their shoulder pads
Other than that it was really just three to five sloppy cuts to take away around 1-2mm all told (less at the bottom, more at the top - the top doesn't matter much as its concealed by the shoulder pad). Quickly done, not much need for cleanup.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749351/9801021.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/749351/9801021.page GMT Primaris Reivers and their shoulder pads

Errmm - 'Reiver' is the original spelling - referring to the Border Reivers of England/Scotland. Comes from the Northumbrian dialect.
