I want to do some Carapace armoured Cadian Imperial Guard troops... I think I want to do them as stormtroopers (as I have enough of the face masks from the Cadian HQ kit, and have a cunning plan on how to make hotshot lasguns and back-mounted power-packs
Obviously, I could just buy some storm troopers or kasrkin, but they are metal and I don't like working with metal so I would prefer a plastic/resin option...
I can think of a number of ways to do this, but am not really sure how to go about finding what I need for any of them...
So, please fire lots of helpful advice my way :-)
Option 1) Buy some normal cadian shock troops, cut-out some little plasticard/plastic knee and elbow pads and stick them on..
problems with opt 1) My gosh that would be fiddly as hell, and the consistency of the sizes of the knee/elbow pads could be an issue
Option 2) get some legs/arms bits (possibly torsos?) from somewhere to fit with the normal cadian bits
problem with opt 2) What companys do bits like this? Are there any good kits I could get the bits from? (GW, Forge world, others?) my 1st idea was to find some sort of armoured foot soliders from WFB and use cadian heads and arms on those torsos/legs... but I couldn't find anything that looked like it was appropriate for this
Option 3) find some full models that could be used
problem with opt 3) same as 2 really... where is a good place to look?
