Darkchild130 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 that is pretty awesome, thanks for the share. Personally I like Cadian bodies on scout legs, you get the 2 belt issue but I file off the buckle on the pants and it looks fine. Will get pics to show what I mean. EDIT: sorry for sucky pictures (they are real old) but hopefully you get what I mean. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f5/darkchild131/2ndsqdsgtandrifleman1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/darkchild130/paintedgunner1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/darkchild130/paintedsarge1.jpg these guys were an IG merc force I was making, but the Idea is the same.

reckoning Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Honestly I think those torsos would turn out really well, as long as their size fits with the rest of the scout. And the double belt issue can be fixed with a file. Im also a huge fan of what youve down with your scouts Darkchild. Consider the idea stolen :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239827-alternative-scout-armor/#findComment-2894312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I like them. I also really like the two belt look. Actually, can we have more belts? Like seriously, four or five? Cause I dunno about you, but if I have on armoured pants, I imagine they'd weigh a fair deal, so yeah. Think we might need some extra support. Oh, and suspenders too.

red_starrise Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 The two belt thing could actually make sense though if you think about it: one is the trouser belt & the other is the gear/pistol belt just like law enforcement & real military wear. Only difference is, our modern military in field gear usually have their trouser belt hidden by the shirt tails of their BDU top, much the way cadian's look w/ the armor worn over their BDUs so the only belt we see on them is their gear/pistol belt, the other one is hidden underneath, otherwise, I suspect their trousers would match those worn by catachans. Just my .02. I've used cadian torsos w/ scout legs for storm troopers before & I quite like the look it gives.

reckoning Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Ive certainly seen service members wear multiple belts and even suspenders. I myself have only ever used one belt, the one that held up my pants. MOLLE gear takes care of the equipment.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Darkchild, really like those scouts, man! Awesome idea. And I was just looking towards some scouts for my Imperial Fists...
