OK, I have only one thing to say: Please use the normal colours for posting, instead of manually altering them. Not everyone uses the white text on black background style, and all I can see is a big space then some yellow blur, with a couple random letters thrown in. The occasional colour in a mid-tone is fine, because it's readable on both backgrounds, but this is just completely unreadable to me.

Ok, I think I understand what you are getting at. You want to take the carapace doctorine for your army and proxy your basic troops with stormtrooper models however you still want to use stormtroopers in your army. You are looking for examples of either alternate models or conversions on stormtrooper models as a point of reference for how to do it.

These would make good storm troopers http://www.thewarstore.com/product11.html http://www.thewarstore.com/product18895.html http://www.thewarstore.com/product18892.html http://www.thewarstore.com/product6133.html They look just that bit more advanced than storm troopers. I've also seen it done with space marine scout armor in the past.

I like these for alternate models for ogryns http://www.thewarstore.com/INCURSIONALLIES.html not quite as sophisticated as space marines but big and fitting the bill.

And on a side note spell check is your friend and a semi-pornographic Marge Simpson does not an avatar make.

The Pig Iron stuff is awesome, but I think its a slightly smaller scale than normal GW stuff. That would make your storm troopers smaller than your line infantry, which is a bit wrong.

I've seen the Incursion APEs used as counts-as Ogryns on this board before, but they would also represent stormies quite well.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

Imagine if you will, spelling the word "imagine" correctly. Imagine if you will not posting the same twice, and instead just editing your original post to not be so colorful. You're new and I'm pedantic.

Using Pig Iron models for your IG isn't a terrible idea. Everybody does the Pig Iron heads + Cadian bodies thing, but not many folks use the entire models. I wouldn't object, since Pig Iron has some pretty sweet sculpts.
