Does anyone know if anyone makes armor plates such as knee and shin armor, that could be stuck on Cadian models? I am thinking of making jin-roh type storm troopers with cadian bodies, The Assault Group MG-42s, belts of ammo and Pig Iron Productions Kolony Militia heads. I think it would look pretty cool, but the Cadians would need some extra armor plating to pull it off.

Green-stuff.

I've seen entire armies of storm troopers made with nothing but stock cadians, GS armour and Pig Iron productions Heavy Infantry helmets and backpacks.

Myself, I have a couple of squads of ST using cadians, vox helmets and modified vox packs (and electronics hookup wire). I've green-stuffed knee, thigh and tunic armour (below the belt) - where the kasrkin have theirs.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

You only need 0.5mm for the plates (kasrkin plates only rise above the flaka rmour by about this much).

Thicker is a lot more efort at the sizes you need.
