Hostile environment plasma team

[Spyboy]

I keep waiting to place my forge world order till the Cadian hostile environment plasma team comes back in stock, but that got me wondering. Is there a difference between the plasma toting models in the hostile environment kit compared to a normal gaurdsmen with a plasma gun and an upgrade from the hostile environment conversion set?

 

Just wondering if I am waiting for nothing.

They're just nicer models. In rules terms they're otherwise identical, aside from making for cool Veterans.

I way toying with the idea of using those models to make Kasrkin.

Ok, thanks for the info guys

 

Looks like I will be waiting for them to come back in stock.

Has anyone tried using the hostile environment models with these legs to make Kasrkin? https://madrobotminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_21&products_id=117

 

IMO it looks like that's the best way to make plastic Kasrkin, then convert basic Cadian lasguns into Hotshots however you like

@zero88 That would look pretty cool, provided you don't use the hostile enviroment suits for your regular cadians.

@ zero88:

 

If by plastic Kasrkin you mean resin Kasrkin, then sure! ;)

I got myself a pack of them last year, if I remember correctly the whole upper torso, arms, plasma rifle are a unique sculpt for each of them, slightly different from the posses you get in the other hostile environment kits for lasgun troops.

 

The heavy backpacks and tubes they carry give the plasma gunners a nice sense of heft and power. I use them for a veteran squad that all wear various visors, rebreathers, and sealed helmets.
