I've got a list down for a van saar gang and looking to put it together. I want to stay away from the metal models which leads me into a bit of a probelm.

I have alot of space wolves heads lying around so that works with the beards.

The cadian torso works out pretty well or elysian drop troop models

my problem with the cadian stuff is the torsos are fine but the arms and legs are unarmored ... which is the case for the majority of the GW line of models (barring storm troopers / karskrin).

While looking through people's previous conversions I had a thought about using tau fire warrior models for the base.

Head - Space Wolves
Torso - Fire Warrior
Arms - Fire Warrior - without the shoulder pad shield
Legs - Fire Warrior
Weapons - Cadian Lasguns / Cadian Flamer (shoulder slung) / Kit Bash a Orc Loota Gun for a Heavy Stubber (shoulder slung)

Since Van Saar are suppose to have full environmental suits I think the tau model would fit in.

What are people's thoughts on it?
