WholeHazelNuts Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 What is with the MASSIVE skull on the Skulls shoulderpads from GW. If I'd known they were that protruding and huge I wouldn't have bothered! I've included a shot of my test Skulls marine and also another shot of a marine with a different type of skull pad that is no longer available. WHat were they thinking? http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o311/WholeHazelNuts/40kStuff/Photo0843.jpg http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o311/WholeHazelNuts/40kStuff/Photo0847.jpg http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o311/WholeHazelNuts/40kStuff/Photo0848.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 ... that skull is huge... Apart from that get more done rawrrrr THE EMPEROR NEEDS YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Perdo Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I agree, they are way too big for ordinary marines. I got some too but I still use the old Blood Angel Honour Guard skull pads instead. However I do clip the new ones off and file them down. Then they are Okay for terminators, vehicles etc. Edit: Forgot to say, the paint job does look very nice. Play the 5th company myself, without the red comapny markinngs they look even darker, and are somewhat easier to paint :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is be tempted to get a load of marine backpacks with the larger skull on it of a bitz site and then slice it off and use that on the pads. Ive done this on one of my minis and it works a treat. If you think its still too pronounced just sand the back slightly. Heres the pack Im on about. At 20p each you cant go wrong. The good thing too is that you can sand the pack down and use it elsewhere clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Unfortunate that the new pads are so bad in that respect. May be better to buy up a bunch of skull bitz and make your own with plastic shoulder pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRCHAOS Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 O my........ GW how could you, this has to be the worse shoulder pad ever! Not only is it 2nd edition size, the actual skull looks silly, I would sugest useing the iron warrior transfer cut in half and panted over as a guide. Apart from that, your Silver Skull looks cool and I love the base :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissah Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I used a couple of those shoulderpads for my LotD and it looks ok but they have to be over the top anyway. But on a normal marine like yours I say it is a bit big but the colour looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
