I was interested in building out a squad of acolytes for my henchmen squad. I already have several IG stormtroopers armed with plasma guns for some of the heavy support, but I was wanting to have some acolytes armed with storm bolters. I was hoping some of you fine gentlemen could offer some suggestions on what models I could use to do this. I know some of the battle sisters come with storm bolters but was curious as to what my other options could be. The acolytes are armed with flak armour so I was hoping to keep the theme of lightly armoured guys.

Thanks for your help.

The Sororitas have two different models with Stormbolters and the one with the helmet actually looks pretty nice imho. Your other options are afaik only to convert them out of guardsmen and marine Stormbolters.

I used Cadian troops, just trimmed the eagles off and altered the head cap a bit. Stormbolters leftover from my GKSS.

I use SM scouts with a little custom work for my acolytes. Then just equip them with what you want.
