Are the old stormtrooper models,

still in the lore?

Are the scions their own thing seperate from the stormtroopers? Or did they replace the stormtroopers altogether (in the terms of lore)

**Macharius.**

Same organization, GW just needed a way to trademark their models.

**Vaktathi**

Who knows

Honestly, they're name is still functionally the same, just faux-latin now, and I'm sure, just like normal IG regiments, they have a huge array of equipment variations.

**Big Mac**

They're similar enough to be categorized as same in game. Think of them as modern special forces from different countries, training and equipment may vary, but their job is relatively the same.

**Warboss Brokentoof**

Those models are just fine. But I prefer the even older beret wearing storm troopers. Those were some cool models.

**Grey Templar**

Of course. You just say they got equipment from a different Forge World(there are thousands of different marks of lasguns. Body armor likely has millions)

**Brother SRM**

They still have hot-shot lasguns and carapace armor, so they're still equipped right. It's just a name change. And speaking of name changes, I still prefer the term "hellguns" over hot-shot lasguns.

As it is written.

**Frankenberry**

Didn't the two weapon names have different profiles in the game? I could've sworn Kasrkins had Hot shot lasguns, and Stormtroopers hellguns.

Been a while.

**Furyou Miko**

They did, but the profiles were the same - Rng 24", S3, AP6, Rapid Fire.

i have a old Karskin with Armour/i think hot shot las gun and a power sword

Model is still is great, makes a very dynamic seargent or officer.
much better than the new plastic ones.
