Just a quick question about the Guardsmen and SM Scout bits as i'm wondering how compatible they are with one and another.
I'v seen many people put guard heads and weapons on scout bodies to act as their storm troopers (or veterans) and the heads, arms ect. for other neat conversions.

So can they be used with each other from the sprue or do they require some work before they fit right ?

The only major problem is that Scout bits will look abnormally "Buffer" then the Guardsmen bitz. Like if you used the shot gun to make a shotgun vet.

Scout head on cadian..it fit perfectly tbh..but dunno about other bits

I've played about with using SM Scout legs with Cadian upper bodies/arms, and it works really well. Great for that 'commando' look. All the veterans in my IG army are done this way.

^ That's all i needed to know thanks

Check out this 2006 thread from Darkchild for a variety of conversions combining IG and Scout parts: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/88674.page#88695.

Some very inspiring conversions...
