Somehow, I seem to have bid on a triceratops in some auction, and without realizing it, won. Paid for it. Didn't know it was coming. So here's this big grey beastie. I just gave it to my son. While looking over his latest battle scene, I saw the (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

| | What do you call the alien armor shoulderpads?

I've been working on my Lego Combat wargame and have been focusing on the Castle theme rules. I've noticed that many of you like to use the black or grey alien armor shoulderpad piece to use as armor in your Castle MOCs. If you don't know what I'm (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, I'd be inclined to call it 'pauldrons'. Technically a pauldron only covers the shoulder, but it's the closest thing that comes to mind. It doesn't really have a "real" equivalent. Pauldron (or pawldron, or poldron) is an authentic term, (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
