Hi Dakka,
I bought the Kraskin models because I thought they looked awesome and at the time I believed they were a Cadian version of Storm Troopers but I can't find much fluff on them. Can anyone please enlighten me as to who or what they are.
Cheers.

Kasrkin
Cadian 8th Kasrkin Sergeant
Kasrkin are part of the Imperial Guard Structure and are dedicated to the security of Cadia. Their name comes from the title of the cities of Cadia, which are "Kasrs". Thus, City Kin.
These are the elite of the already superior Cadian military and are picked up while still serving as Whiteshields in the Cadian armed forces. Their training is comparable, if not better to that of Storm Troopers (they are the Cadian equivalent) and they are utterly dedicated to the preservation of Cadia, whereas Storm Troopers are indoctrinated to the defense of the entire Imperium.
They are highly trained in the use of numerous weapons, and are armoured with Carapace Armour. They have an ethos of duty and honour and a devotion to the Emperor that is impressive for members of the Imperial Guard.5 Whereas the standard Storm Trooper is looked down upon in envy by Imperial Guardsmen, the standard Kasrkin is looked up to with favour. They are the ultimate warrior to fight against the enemies of the Imperium (such as the forces of Chaos), and they lead the charge in the defense of Cadia. To be a Kasrkin is to hold a position of honour, and all Cadians recognize this.

Thank you very much that helps a lot. I can continue to use them as Storm Troopers of vets with no regrets.

Kraskin = Badder Ass Storm Troopers.
Even SMurfs consider them decent. 
|
This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Like a pet Pitbull the SMurfs view the Kraskin.
Though there is a lack of multi-lasers in this thread...if this is where it's going
