cadaver2k Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I am thinking of using Imperial Guard Cadian Shock Troops as the IST for 3 main reasons. 1. They are cheaper and I get more guys for the money. 2. They are easier to convert for special weapons cause they are plastic. 3. They cost less and I get more then the IST. (its all about the cash flow in the end) Do you guys think they will do the trick or not? I will just use them in DH armies and as DH/BT allies with no other IG units.

Marid Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Go for it. Just make sure they look like they're wearing beefier armor than standard guard. B) Edit: Oh yeah, and add some power packs or scopes or some such to make lasguns more like hellguns.

Aidoneus Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I have 10 Kasrkin that I got 2nd-hand from a friend, but since have converted about 20 Cadians to supplement the force. They look quite good, actually. Check it out! Sorry about the quality of the photo, but you get the idea. Use the vox pack, modified slightly, some guitar wire from that to the gun, and try to use mainly the helmets with re-breathers.

morcus Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 A little bit of filing and gs will make them good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189298-units-for-ist/#findComment-2241284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
