Subject: Options for count-as Straken?

So I've got this problem where I'd like to run Straken in my army, but the GW Straken just seems out of place in my all cadian army. I mean, I like the model but it just doesn't fit well. I was possibly thinking maybe getting a sister of battle or an inquisitor figure. Not sure how a sister would fit in fluff-wise leading guardsman, but it is an option. I am open to any suggestions and am willing to look outside GW for a figure that might fit the bill. Any ideas?

I would go for one of the generic inquisitor models:
or
They make sense, since Straken's statline is almost-but-not-quite a space marine, so human in power armor works. Just replace the gun with a shotgun or plasma pistol. They also make sense fluff-wise, as they could be temporarily taking over the guard regiment for their own purposes.

If you want one that is more Guard looking, you could use the Al'rehem model. Just give him a shotty, and you are good.

A Space Marine of some sort wouldn't be too out of place, considering his statline.
