Olgerth Istaarn Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Just what it says on the tin: Does anyone know where I could get some dragon-themed shoulder pads for regular PA, besides Chapterhouse Studios and that hideous Salamander range from Forgeworld?

Olis Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I can't think of 'off the shelf' pads off the top of my head, but you could try getting a set commissioned (depends on whether money is an issue or not and what sort of budget you have).

Jofus Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I just checked the US site and they have them still. Click on the bitz tab in Chaos Space marines. 10 for $8.25. Course I can tell you form using Iron warrior pads that they do look small on current minis. I would try making an impression of the symbol and adding it to blank pads if you like it.

Olgerth Istaarn Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Might be worth a try. Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243755-dragon-shoulder-pads/#findComment-2947432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 You should checkout this series over at From the Warp: http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2011/10/my...nd-casting.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243755-dragon-shoulder-pads/#findComment-2947998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 ShinyRhino: Thanks for the link. Olgerth Istaarn: As for making an icon and then trying to "add" it to a shoulderpad, I've found in my experience that the end result usually looks just like that. That's why I went the route i did. The post that was linked to above explains how I got to the point of casting them. Jofus was right too, the metal ones are slightly smaller than the plastic ones, but that's isn't an issue if you use the plastic as your base to cast from.

KJB Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just a quick 'FYI' - the forgeworld Salamander pads are actually rather good in real life, you just need to ignore the hideous paint jobs on the FW site I'll see if i can get some pics up later Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243755-dragon-shoulder-pads/#findComment-2951603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
