Just make your own. Boltguns bits, knives and a hell of a lot of greenstuff, and the Mercenaries will finally take to the field.
Mind you, that wouldn't suit a lot of people. The models wind up looking pretty rag-tag, individualistic and ill-temperedly badass, and actual stormtroopers are supposed to be a precise, cool-headed badass.
Oh, and Grenadiers=Pointless. They suffer from the same problem as Stormtroopers did- you can get a unit of Battle Sisters for one point per model more, and one less special weapon.
*Facepalm* GW really f***ed up on that.

Agreed. Plus the trade-off for the one less SW is that the rest have bolters... And a faith point.

I wasn't commenting on their stat-line, as I thought it was implicit. The improved stats are the trade-off for the extra one point per mini.

I know. I just have a keen grasp of the obvious, so I thought I'd share.  Reds |

Not so much back, more at the mercy of a looted Wi-Fi spot that keeps switching off in the middle of posts.

A quick and dirty way to make plastic storm troopers is to mash up a box of SM Sniper Scouts, Cadian Shock Troops and the new Cadian Command HQ box.
Use the legs from the Scouts - they'll have the holster for the hot shot laspistol. Use one of the bits from the Shock Troops box that has the bayonet still in it - there is your close combat weapon. Torso is Cadian torso.
For the hot shot lasgun, take the barrel from the lasgun off and file it to the stock. Take the silencer portion from the sniper rifle (SM Sniper Scout box) and take it right off the barrel. Attach the silencer to the stock of the lasgun, and glue. This gives the appearance of a beefier lasgun (which the hellshot lasgun is).
Attach arms as necessary. Use heads as desired (some of the SM Scouts heads are pretty cool).
For special weapons, use the special weapons out of the command box as desired. The only that this doesn't work for is the flamer (the tube back to the backpack is cut off by the holster).
