marvmoogy Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi all, I'm trying to get hold of 20 Devastator shoulder pads for my Dark Angels. The design I am after is like the 'bomb blast' pattern on this website: http://40k.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Angels Does anyone know of they were ever made by GW or if there is somewhere I can get hold of them? Thanks in advance! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285428-unforgiven-devastator-shoulder-pads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 You mean this one? http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130207211226/40k/images/4/40/Da_squad_4th_devastator.png I've had a look on ebay etc, and whilst there has been some metal ones by GW in the past, there aren't any on there (that I know of) at present I love that version of the Dev symbol (I used to hand paint them on way back, but I'd get moulded ones if I could). Short of watching ebay and similar sites like a hawk, I'm not sure what else to suggest, short of decals. I know that the Forge World DA transfers have that style Dev symbol on them (bit pricey just to get twenty icons though) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285428-unforgiven-devastator-shoulder-pads/#findComment-3564963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yes, they were once cast in metal, they are out of production, so you will probably have to search EBay or other sites like that to find them.

marvmoogy Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yup - that's the one! thanks guys - I had a look at bits sites / fleabay but without joy. Are there companies out there that will cast them? Or would this be really prohibitive cost-wise?

Seleucus Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Sad to say, no one seems to make a pad with this on. I've looked extensively, and had to resort to GSing my own. You could contact someone like CustomMinis on Shapeways to see if he could make some for you, but I dont know what it would cost. http://www.shapeways.com/shops/customminis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285428-unforgiven-devastator-shoulder-pads/#findComment-3565004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Make some yourself: Get green stuff. Roll it into a thin (1mm) pancake let harden cut bomb blast shape out of green stuff. It should still be a touch flexible. Superglue to bare shoulderpad (mind your fingers!) get long blob of greenstuff, roll to ~3-4mm thick, 5-8cm long. Press the shoulderpadded explosion into GS blob repeatedly to make casts, dont touch it, let it dry. when fully dry, put GS into casts, let dry. pick out with a little flexing and a sharppoint of a scalpel. Attach to shoulderpads. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285428-unforgiven-devastator-shoulder-pads/#findComment-3565019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
