I Posted this in my P&M thread but I thought all of you that don't read it may like to check it, hope its helpful

Step 1:
get as many bits as you can that you think would be on a pack. eg, grenades, binoculars, pouches, bayonets, etc.

Step 2:
cut off all the parts of the SM pack so it looks like this

Step 3:
Add on all the gubbins in sensible places, the bullets are from the heavy bolter feed, on the HWT sprue. And the pouch is just separated from the two other bits that usually attach to the back of a guardsman.

Step 4:
Be Imaginative! I'm not entirely certain what sprues all the bits are from, some of the pouches are SM tactical squad (I think..

) but otherwise there just the canteens, pouches, grenades etc. are all bits that you get when you buy IG sprues.

Nice one guys, hope this helps, and sorry for the bad photos

They look cool, might even be a good conversion to put on space marine scouts.

Older kits have separate las weapons to arms. You could lock one to side of say as heavy weapons gunner as there personal weapins
