Delta.Skies Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thinking of creating an inquisitor with space marine armor. Curious though has anybody come across flat shoulder pads. I seen some on pinterest where they are basically laid horizontal versus being laid vertically on the arm. Hector rex model is about the closest I can think of without going through the trouble of sublinking. I also thought of using stormcast shoulder pads but haven't seen anyone use them on space marines. Any suggestions would be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegir_Einarsson Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hi, I was using Scibor shoulderpads -> They're bigger than normal marines ones, but they're detailed, and looks awesome. Huge amount of skulls, and such. Here are my custom Hector Rex model, where you can see them. and link to the full picture: https://naforum.zapodaj.net/c4b17ddd6e66.jpg.html andl link: https://naforum.zapodaj.net/e92a14f40e84.jpg.html and link: https://naforum.zapodaj.net/199a70a9b2a8.jpg.html and link: https://naforum.zapodaj.net/1a69619dad4a.jpg.html and last is some unpainted one, that might be good for you. link: https://naforum.zapodaj.net/e1b41bc16cc7.jpg.html :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Red Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hm you could look into some of the 30k Betrayal at Calth box sets. Some of the HQs/Terminators have those horizontal sholder pads. I'm sure you can find a really cheap deal on ebay for one of these guys if you decide to go that route. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7LPjqyr69UA/Vj_9pSl2iPI/AAAAAAAAIZA/iNMAO1Yp4Us/s1600/characters.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Caerolion Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Those are still actual Marine shoulder-pads though, not sure how putting them horizontally will look, without leaving a massive gap where the arm usually goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta.Skies Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Those are still actual Marine shoulder-pads though, not sure how putting them horizontally will look, without leaving a massive gap where the arm usually goes. Looks like they curve so if I rotate it they would look like wings if you were facing a bird. Was thinking of some fantasy shoulder pads as well. After some reading though on something similar the arms underneath were filed down to have a better fit. I might do the same. The bits haven't shipped so I'm sure I can throw in some fantasy ones if I can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I wonder if Imperial Guard shoulder pads would work? I’ve used the skull shoulder pad from the vehicle kits on inquisition stuff. I’m not near my collection right now so I can’t remember whether any of those models have Marine arms but I think it might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the exact same curvature on the "inside", just some raised detail on the "top" that points out a bit. If you chop them up you could get some wings out of it, but it might be easier to get the wing helmet decorations from the Dark Angel kits. Just be aware that the Sanguinary Guard pads are still sculpted to fit snugly on standard Astartes arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta.Skies Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 yea received the shoulder pads and it does, but it looks dope, if i filed underneath believe it would look nice. i will take a pic tonight and show what I have on this test run then i will attempt to do the shoulder pads from the side.

shandwen Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The body and cape appear to be from the watchmaster model (Deathwatch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta.Skies Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Very Nice looking model! One question. Where are body, torso, cape from? The model is 8o% watchmaster. Left arm and right hand are GK but I might switch it to a power maul. Head is primaris librarian and backpack is a cut vox caster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahistorian Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Scion shoulderpads also fit will with standard Astartes bodies - I've used them on a couple of Inquisitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would switch em out, but the problem is i think that was the only straight out bolter arm I had and i cant get the shoulder pad off. any suggestions for that. (ended up super gluing the left shoulder pad onto that existing arm ) im open to suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
