That could be super cool, right? Right?

Okay. But I don't really see how this design (cool as it may be);
Is "10% more 40K" than this design;
Is it the six-shooter? Or the red glare in the goggles? Did you want them to look more like post- apoc cowboys in space, rather than WW1/2 army troops in space?

It's the armour and the red glare in the eyes, yes. Plus the more sci fi looking helmet and mask and gear.

I think you'd be able to do a decent California Republic Ranger if you did Scion heads, skitarri torsos (for the robe) and guardsman legs.

Problem is that the Skitarii torsos are quite hard to convert, so you would need to cut the Cadin legs into half, position each leg individually and then cover it up with GS.
If you choose the othe way around, you need to cut off the armour, hoses and Skitarii legs under their knees and replace with cadian legs. Not mentioning the cog mechanicus on the chest, that needs to be removed too.
But in the end, yes, it might end up looking very much as the NCR ranger.

I didn't mean to side track the thread. Just as long as any future plastic IG look good I'll be happy.
