Brendaen Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I had a thought as I am starting to build my small Scion detachment: I was thinking of using SM Scout bodies with the extra Scion bits to make my Commander and Command squad. Has anyone tried this? Curious if the Scout chests may be too wide to equip the Hotshot Volley gun on... If noone has, i will probably try it and see..

Altasmurf Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Having a bit of a look the scout chest plates are wider, but you could probably fudge some of the special weapons, especially the plasma, and pistols with close combat weapons. The size ratio might be a little wobbly too.

Toxichobbit Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I haven't bought any Scions, but I have toyed around with combining Scouts and Cadians. It just doesn't look right. Cadians might be comically over-sized for humans, but they are still too small to combine with Marine body parts, even Scouts. Of course, if you don't mind a bit of size discrepancy then it would work. I'm not sure how much you'd need to change in order to make Cadian arms fit though. In all of the combinations I tried I was using Scout shotgun arms (which coincidentally make gorilla Arbites if you put them on a Cadian body).

WarriorFish Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The Scout parts are noticeably bigger than Guardsmen, so I'm not sure how well it'd work. So I think it'll be worth trying out, even if it's just to say it doesn't work!

UltraRich Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Here you go Out of the box it wont fit due to the width of the torso and the moulded pouch on the scouts chest. If you cut the pouch off and did a bit of GS to angle the barrel arm then it could fit http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4241_zpsc8uzevsm.jpg Big gap http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4242_zpsskry0ux8.jpg Size difference http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4244_zpskfhnj2wm.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307312-sm-scouts-as-alternate-scions/#findComment-4035470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hmm, I forgot about the pouches they're a bit of a pain but other than that it should work ok :) Good job Rich :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307312-sm-scouts-as-alternate-scions/#findComment-4035492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendaen Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 I think I might try removing the shotgun from the Scout arm, then replacing it with the Volleygun and using thick wire to replace the cables on the volleygun.

Kontakt Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 It suddenly occurs to me that the scout kits are old and not the greatest looking things.... especially compared to some of the newer kits.

captain sox Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just use Scions. You know you really want to (this from the guy who has 70 Scions now) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307312-sm-scouts-as-alternate-scions/#findComment-4035706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendaen Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just looking at saving a few bucks. Was looking at all these spare weapons, back packs, and heads I have from the Scion sprues and I can get SM Scout models really cheap on Amazon....

Inso Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Why not use the parts on standard Cadians and call them veterans? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307312-sm-scouts-as-alternate-scions/#findComment-4035875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Why not use the parts on standard Cadians and call them veterans? That's exactly what I did for one of my vet squads, they came out looking sorta like Kasrkin, but I have some Kasrkin on the way.
