A question about BA shoulder pads.

hey guys I've been thinking of buying a few sets of the metal BA shoulder pads and replacing the left pad on most of my rank and file marines. I remeber their being an old thread about someone purchasing the metal shoulder pads but finding them to small and I was wondering if this is indeed the case, would they infact look wierd on my marines?

hmmm Yeah I dont really want to ditch all my shoulder pads but I figured some sculpted chapter symbols would look better than the decal ones, Oh well I think I may just go with the chapterhouse studio souldrinker pads instead as a grail would work well as my chapter symbol If I cant get the gold winged BA one.

 

edit: maybe I could find a bits seller and buy the plastic ones

They are indeed a bit smaller than the plastic pads and don't cover the shoulder quite as well. Also the ones I got all needed a fair amount of filing to fit properly though I can't say if that was just the batch I got or indicitive of a problem with GW's casting.
I have about 200 of the metal pads for my marines. They are a little tighter on the inside so usually have to file some of the shoulder down and the inside of the pad, but other than that they are fine. You can't tell the difference with the plastic ones when painted
