Hello everyone, with the rumors of plastic Steel Legion surfacing across many sources for the new IG codex it has me all excited to rebuild my Mechanized Infantry army once again. However I am also realizing that they are rumors and they could very well be false meaning I would get myself all worked up for nothing. That being said however a thought did occur to me as using the Engineer models from the Death Korps of Krieg range as my Armageddon Steel Legion, I would do this for several reasons:

-The Engineers coats are the same length as the Armageddon Steel Legion Troopers.
-Access to arms would allow me a wide range of special and heavy weapons that I could utilize.
-Would end up with a cool and unique looking army.

Just wanted to see what you guys thought of this idea and if anyone has pictures or seen this done before? Also any other ideas and thoughts are more then welcome, thanks for reading guys!

I haven't seen it done before, but it would look very cool and original, aside from being very close to the fluff intention of the original Steel Legion.
