To be fair oversized shoulder armor is integral to the appeal of Warhammer. Could you imagine Space Marines without it? Without it Warhammer wouldn't be Warhammer.
Not entirely without historical precedence, either. There were large-ish pauldrons in use in European warfare, if the knight was wielding a one hand mace/hammer and shield. The bits sticking out protected your neck because you'd present yourself to the enemy weapon arm first and the added weight was subtracted from your other shoulder.
That said, two were not used simultaneously.
