Simple, good looking and easy to do. Thanks a lot!

Ooh, very nice I think I'm going to be doing this with a nice hardened vet squad soon.

Another good alternative is SM scout shotguns. I had plenty of those spare so my melta vets also picked up 7 shotguns. With the SM shotguns you'll need to trim off the hand the holds the gun underneath, and then cut the trigger off. Get an IG lasgun arm and remove the lasgun then attach the shotgun in its place. Use one of the IG heavy weapon left arms to support the shotgun. I used a few of the different left arms for different poses. Some general WIP stuff of that can be found
