MegaVolt87 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Heads, shoulders, power packs, arms and guns from mk III would work fine with new CSM plastics. Would make them stand out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoftherubric21 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I have mixed a Mark 3 and New CSM kit. They mix perfectly. Shouldn't be any real scale issues that are noticeable. Bodies are locked as the new kits always do but literally everything else is easy for customization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techsoldaten Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 You can adjust for scale by adding a few mm thickness on the base. Seems like the key is getting the backpacks level, visually that says they are the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do shoulder pads before backpacks. The new CSM pads are chonk, I could guess that can cause issues with a mk III pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I created some Noise Marines with the new Marine sculpts, using arms and backpacks from the 2nd edition models. If you don't remember, these backpacks have large protrusions that stick out over the arms, and the shoulder pads are very bulky. There was a slight fitting problem on the backpack and the arms due to the torsos - which are slightly wider and deeper. Pins and green stuff took care of it.

KJB Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The backpack only needs a tiny bit of work due to the peg on the Chaos Marines back being square and the hole on the pack round - Once on, looks good (to me anyway!)
