Subject: Hellblaster plasma rifle on a regular sized marine?
Just wondering if the plasma rifles from the hellblaster kit fit regular sized marines? I'm planning to build some company vets so looking at vanguard vets for the jump packs and bodies and sternguard and bits box for weapons but wondering if the hellblaster ones may fit anyway.

I suppose another option would be sticking some jump packs and bling on the hellblasters instead but the legs wouldn't look as cool and I'm not sure if VV legs would find primaris bodies. I know they are bigger but I don't normally use primaries units and they are supposed to be veterans so would stand out at least.
What do you think?

The arms, shoulder pads, weapons and heads are meant to be completely interchangeable between primaris and mini marine. I assume this was so mini marine parts could go on primaris but I don't see why it shouldn't work the other way. I think it would be more a question of whether it looks right or not than feasibility. I'll probably have a go at it when I get home.

Thanks for the response. I actually managed to source enough regular plasma guns so just went with those. But interested to see how hellblaster rifles look if you do it.

Im pretty sure thats wrong. Heads backpacks and shoulders are interchangeable. Arms should be noticeably larger. Mostly if for no other reason then they have to get around the noticeably larger torsos.

These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.
