In making my initial army lists for Kill Team I realized that a unit of 10 Cadian troopers would not make it to the 100 point requirement total. I needed to make some Tempestus Scions to round out the points.
A unit of 5 would be sufficient but I didn't want to go and spend another $40 USD or $50 USD on another brand new boxed set.
I had plenty of Primaris marine spare bits from the Dark Imperium boxed set as well as left over bits from the Cadian boxed set. I also had some additional Kromlech/Bits of War gear left over.
I was concerned that the Primaris heads and helmets might look wonky on Cadian bodies, but to my surprise they actually work fairly well. They kind of ended up looking like Imperial Stormtroopers but with a cloth uniform with military skirts. The bare-headed Primaris marine heads also worked pretty well.
The backpacks are Kromlech/Bits of War. I also had a bunch of spare bits from the Star Wars Legion core boxed set. I took one of the spare flamers that was originally meant to go on the rebel AT-RT walker. But since you get several weapons choices I had plenty of extra stuff.
I cut off the vehicle mounting parts of the flamer to make it look more like a hand-held infantry heavy weapon. I glued it to the back of one of the models as if he had it slung over his shoulder.
I primed the squad in GW's Chaos Black spray. I'm going to do dark gray highlights on them and make them into troopers that have a similar color scheme as Inferno Squad in the PC/console game Star Wars Battlefront II.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with them and happy that I created an entire squad with a variety of totally leftover bits!
