Hi,

So I'm starting to plan the vets for my Cadian army and am thinking backpacks. My normals troops have no accessories so I'm adding pouches and backpacks/bergans to gives the vets a different look.

I've found these:

And the forgeworld upgrade pack but can anyone recommend a source?

I have some scion backpacks going spare. Plus a few heavy weapons team ones. I wont be using them, so theyre yours if you want them.

Sculpt & then cast your own? Or buy some from me lol.

Catachan command vox shown for scale.

I use Pig Iron's kit myself:

Nice and sci-fi-ey

There's also The Assault Group in the UK

Really good value, they come in packs of 10 which works out at 40p a pack! I've bought their Molly Packs, Alice Packs, Vietnam Tropical Rucksacks and Butt Packs and they scale up perfectly.

And Mad Robot too

Thank you for the kind offer and for the suggestions.

I decided to go with kromlech but can't decide if you get the armour to represent carapace armour on the vets?

Looks like problem solved since you wanted "armoured torsos".

You either buy 10 backpacks for about £5 or you get 5 packs and 5 torsos for about £7

A bit pricey but I did go with the armour and backpack for my 2 vet squads
