I am planing to build an imperial guard assault unit whit jump packs (count as rough riders) but I can´t find any good looking jump packs that fit the imperial guard theme. the marine jump packs are to big and to "marine" for my liking. I have tried the Grymn jump packs that Hasslefree miniatures produces (http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/pack.php?pack=507) but they look to small on a guards man
(I´m thinking of using them as grav shutes instead...)


anybody out there that have any good Ideas?

the backpacks from the at43 wing troopers are cool (even the whole model could potentially work as IG)

Do they scale well with GW's plastic IG?

not sure, i dont have any experience with the at43 figs beyond just seeing pics

the confrontation minis tend to be similar but tend towards tall and skinny sculpts rather than blocky like GWs sculpts

The old RT illustrations had IG troopers using marine backpacks. I think this ought to work.

I use the 1st edition turbofan jump packs. Significantly different from the current SM jump packs
