Hey guys, I'm looking to convert some sm scout models. Really dislike the current gw ones so needing inspiration . I've looked at anvil industry's marine snipers and they are nice. I was wanting to add some squats to be the snipers really so anything based around these would be great, was thinking of dwarf body's heads from aos. Crossed with the marine arms. Any links or pics of similar would help greatly

I've got some of these coming for my scouts, because SM scout heads are terrible

They are definitely better than the regular ones, but I find even the body's terrible, it's got to be a all out conversion. I will try looking for some rt squats perhaps

I can offer some pictures of my scouts.
The crew of the landspeeder storm proved to be great for some dynamic poses.
I've also used some helmets from Pig-Iron studios:

You can also use regular sm torsos on them, there are pictures of that here somewhere

After an epic search I've found the models that cAn pro is for them And they look really cool too. Going to use Astra millistratum scions , think I got the name right. They come with longer las guns with a huge scope on top. A few tweaks and we should be there

This is what I did...

They are exactly the mono pose models to avoid

Here's what I'm representing as a scout. A little different to be sure and not a simple bits swap but I like it and I'm having fun building them


Apologies for the poor lighting in the photo, fortunately there's no paintjob for it to ruin

While this is probably not what you're looking for I hope it provides you with some inspiration.
Peace!
