I recently picked up some scout ccw/bp arms and the missile launcher dude and I have to say I found the scout sculpts severely lacking. Soft details, lack of detail, terrible anatomy & proportions, just all around crap. I know that's harsh, but they're really that bad. Even worse when compared to the metals they replaced.

I'd suggest using plasticard and bits of SM kit (frag & krak grenades, the small pouches, etc..) to gubbins up your Cadians. If you have any GS skills, you could also add stuff like rucksacks, other sized pouches and bandoliers of shotgun shells (cut small plastic rod into equal shapes, glue along a strap line and then use GS to make the top strap holding them in place).

Dude, I already tried it trust me I'm now 15 quid down and 5 scouts that i just cant use. The scouts are large Cadians are small the peices dont work so i saved you some cash...

u could always just buy like one sepert spure 2 save you some money.

hmm looks like thats a no-no then.
thanks for the info guys!

I herd this one time a guy tried it and then he died.

So I don't try it.

I used CSM arms on Cadians. Im up in the air as to how they look. They are not even primed yet so Im holding judgment until I paint them.

It works but the arms are molded to fit around the scout torsos, so when
you stick them on a Guard body

1) The arms just out and looks like a big hug.
2) The molded fist on the weapon means you'll have to GS the gap
on the shoulder joins.

It works, but the end result is NOT pretty.

hmm ok then, ill be giving that a miss and try converting sergs arms, probably look better as well!
cheers for the info guys
