They have some lovely 28mm late medieval and renaissance models that look great and don't cost that much.

It does look a bit heavy for light armor, but swap out the heads and weapons and it will probably be fine. Heck, you could paint the armor like copper or bronze and explain that while heavy, the metal is much softer.... Make some fine mercenary looking troops that way.

Fitting on 20mm bases might be tough. Perhaps mount them at an angle?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205183/209800.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205183/209800.page GMT
While Chaos Armour looks way too heavy for State Troopers proper, it would look fine as full plate. (As I recall it's just the Greatswords and Knights who wear this.) There's a pretty nice two-handed sword in the Militia box and that also gives you plenty of scruffy looking mercenary heads. CW in my opinion would look a little weird as Empire crossbowmen or hand gunners, but could make reasonable looking spearmen, pistoliers or swordsmen.

Possibly leave off the shields? Heavy armour is only as good as light armour and shield anyways, except for that parry bonus - just play it as the same thing with a "Practised Swordsman" rule or something that functions as "counts as"/handwaving their gear. (though they lack sheilds these guys are so skilled with their blades they still get the parry bonus etc.)

Personally I think Chaos Warriors took a step down with the new box - I loved the old chainmailed hunchbacks from the 6th edition box with posable limbs. The fur mantles on the new cloaks however could look fairly Ulricky if painted a proper shade of white. And who know what weird substances drip from the walls of the passages honeycombing the natural rocky shell of Middenheim?...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205183/219124.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205183/219124.page GMT
