Can GW decals be flipped over to their other side?

[Axineton]

Random question I know. But I was thinking of using some decals on some deathwatch shoulder pads but want to use them on the right pad obviously and facing the enemy. Now if use them normally they’ll be facing away so if I flip them will they adhere to the surface?

Given how if you’re not careful with decals they roll up and stick to themselves anyway, I think you should be fine. Once they’re in place you’ll be sealing them down regardless

Yes, they will stick. I did that with some Space wolf terminators that were from Logan Grimnar's company. The question is whether or not the image is the same on both sides as some have an image layered over another, which when reversed, looks funky.

Yes it works fine. I have reversed all kinds of stuff doing this.  Just make sure you put lhamian medium over the top or some kind of sealer (micro sol/micro set).

Thanks guys much appreciated for the info.

Yeah, I do this all the time when making custom images. It just depends on the transfer.

For instance, you sometimes get transfers which are something like a red skull with white eyes. When you flip it, you discover that the transfer was made by printing a red skull over a white circle, so it's useless.

On the whole though, if it's a simple outline shape, it will be flippable.
