Problem with Karskin is there metal, nightmare to mod, plus I plan to use my karskins to represent carapaced vets (going with stormtroopers for elites). I've seen the eylsians but nothing really catches my eye, elysians have lovely troop poses but poor individual 'heroic' poses.

Edit - Think I've found my model.

Chop that stupid head off it, give it a suitable gun. Pad out some of the armour. Might just work.

Please excuse my chaotic spelling and grammar, I am Dyslexic, to my friends that means I am retarded and should always wear my water wings and helmet.

Kasrkin sgt is easier to mod (his arms are akimbo and easier to remove - I have four of them all armed differently to the "standard" one.

They are going to be done in finecast, as well, so that will make modding them easier.

Get bronze wound acoustic guitar strings over steel wound electric strings.
The bronze are easier to shape and cut.

I use a "top E" string for my cabling for my cadian converted "Inquisition" storm troopers (now henchmen, regular IG stormies, or veterans).
That is not dead which can eternal lie

and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die
