Subject: shock troops into veteran guardsmen

I bought two boxes of shock troops from wargames factory that I intend to use as veterans for my guard army. The plan is to combine imperial guard bitz with the shock troops bits to make them look right. I don´t particularly like the shock troop guns so the first step is to come up with some ting that looks like the imperial lasgun but still stands out. I made it easy for my self and just glued the two together which is really easy and practical, but I cant decide if i like it or not...  This is what it looks like right now... what do you think?

I think it looks a little off for some reason. Could you just use the cadian arms?

I thought about that and came to the conclusion that I rather not, because then I would have to by three packs of cadians and just use the weapons and arms. And that would be kind of expensive... and then I would have 30 cadian bodies whit no arms...

I like them, you can make plasmas using a very similar technique, just do the same with plasma pistols and voila!

I think the rounded "pump" looking part on the bottom makes it look "off".
that said, i don't think it looks bad at all. i think they look great!

Nice, I think it looks a bit like a shotgun/Lasgun because of the grip.

Depends where the 2nd hand is going. If it's going on the grip area it will look great. With the magazine behind the grip and trigger, you'll have a nice bullpup las rifle to distinguish them even more from the rank and file infantry trooper

That looks pretty good, but the transition looks a bit sudden. Could you maybe trim it so that the whole of the lasgun sight assembly is transferred over? It would require a couple of right angle turns, but might help it mesh together a bit more.
