LutherMax Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm thinking of getting some of these for my Sanguinary Guard conversions, but I'm not sure whether to go for MKII, III or IV. The II's and III's have the riveted rim, which I like, but does this make them bigger / chunkier than the MKIV or are they about the same size?

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Mk II shoulders are not much bigger than Mk IV ones. Mk III are huge and beefy, but they look really good. Only problem is they may not fit on all models. Sometimes jump packs get in the way, or the model is holding his weapon in the air and the top of the Mk III shoulder trim collides with the backpack or jump pack. Mk II shoulders are also much easier to damage when clipping off the sprue due to the location of the connection point and their thin banding. You can also get some miscasts where the banding trim is so thin it's transparent, or has holes. Mk III is just more solid all around when you can fit in on the model.

Brother Desultor Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Luther, I have some Mk.3's and Mk.4's sitting around doing nothing. I'd be happy to send them to you if you wanted to check the fit etc. before placing an order with FW. Just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guiltysparc Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 One of my units has a mix of MkIII and IVs in it with the FW legion pads. Here are a couple pics of that unit i have handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctem Cultor Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I've used all three of the NL marks and to be honest there is a difference in the size but it's hardly noticeable. I use them mixed through my 40k force and think that it's just a habit that I chose the thicker lipped ones for my Champions. -Noctem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
