DobbyKroket Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hello, as a space wolves player that might want to start an allied detachment i have one question. as i was looking at pictures of the sprues of the cadian shock troops i saw that all the torsos have a extending part for backpacks but there are no backpacks (exept for the vox-caster and the flamer fuel container) included in the box. so, is there a place to get cadian backpacks on the cheap or how do you otherwise cover these extentions? -rps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292688-question-on-cadians/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 That extension's not for a backpack to go on (a-la marines). What exactly it is supposed to be I do not know. Perhaps it contains bio-sensors, part of a com link, digital version of dog tags, IFF transponder... There are backpacks in heavy weapons team kits that you can put on your guard (though you may have to cut those back boxes off to fit the backpacks on). Or simply GS some backpack yourself over those boxes. That's what I did.

Sviar Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 You do get backpacks when you purchase this kit: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Guard/Cadian_Shock_Troops/CADIAN_INFANTRY_SQUAD_WITH_RESPIRATORS_UPGRADE_PACK.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292688-question-on-cadians/#findComment-3723300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The only addition your Guardsmen really need is the pouch and flask attachment Back packs are good for Heavy Weapon Team troops and for spicing Veterans up, the FW kit Sviar mentions is great for this. TL;DR is don't worry about them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292688-question-on-cadians/#findComment-3723369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobbyKroket Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well i think that £200+ is a bit too much for just the backpacks and i don't need anything else from that set Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292688-question-on-cadians/#findComment-3723375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL;DR is don't worry about them well, i kinda want heating backpacks as they will be cadians that are stolen by my great company after decades of campaining and thus live on fenris -rps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292688-question-on-cadians/#findComment-3723379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It's a great kit with extras that are ideal for Veterans. However since you've mentioned hostile environments and we're on Forge World have you seen these: Hostile Environment Command Squad Hostile Environment Infantry Squad Hostile Environment Plasma Squad Hostile Environment Melta Squad They're pretty cool, I'm tempted to get some when a spare ship comes in :tu: Not ideal for building a larger force of them though, but when you want to go to that detail it's going to cost in some form. Do you have an extensive bits box? I've seen some clever uses of cut down Marine packs used for Guardsmen, and with a bit of GS work you could give them the hostile environment look.
