Kimbo Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 As the title says...how did you go by in order for your Primaris DW marines to get Nice looking chapter specific shoulderpads? I would love to avoid decals! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris521 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Don't the veteran pads fit? I don't have primaris but I thought I remembered shoulder pad compatibility being a selling point for primaris. You can get a bunch of them on ebay, though some of the more popular chapters may be harder to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6262 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Veteran pads are the same size. I bought primaris dark angel hellblasters and the only difference was the shape of the icon vs the veteran one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadEdric Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I've forgone Chapter specific shoulder pads for my Primaris. They all will be Grey Shields and have a blank grey shoulder pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6262 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 But even grey primaris use the chapter badge don't they? I am to remember reading that somewhere. (Not pushing you to do anything with your force because that's your ship to captain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondish Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I've been proxying for awhile (made a whole Blood Raven Primaris force) until I can paint up my DW force. Intercessor kits (not Dark Imperium) have separate shoulder pads that are the same size. The veteran kit has enough extras to make it work.

ashc Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 All space marine shoulderpads are primaris-compatible, so you have no concerns over that. If you don't mind using non-GW parts Pop Goes the Monkey on Shapeways produce some pretty fantastic 3d-printed shoulderpads and chapter symbol decals for deathwatch covering a wide variety of chapters.

As I'm going to add some Primaris to my Deathwatch force, this caught my attention! I saw this in the codex as well, still I wonder if their pads should be left blank, or still bear the insignia of their original gene-seed legion - I might be wrong but I think Grey Shields used the chapter insignia with a grey Chevron over it. So the question is... are these yet-to-be assigned Primaris left with no insignia, or they're still given their gene-seed legion one, before being assigned to a chapter/inducted into the Deathwatch? That's food for thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadEdric Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I’m thinking I might go with a squad will adopt the personal marking of their sgt. So a grey pad and a unique symbol. I see these marines see themselves as Deathwatch, since they never served in another Chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought in Dark Imperium or the codex they still had the emblems but were flat grey. So you knew the parentage despite the Primaris being part of the Indomitus Crusade. I'd kinda prefer they not have the emblems honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
