Im sure this can go in this section of the forums  I defo want to some Stormtroopers to my IG army and i was looking in the GW catalogue. I'd been told that the standard model for stormtroopers was the kasrkin models but when i looked inside there was Kasrkin and stormtrooper models. I looked in the codex and there was no section in the armoury for Kasrkin. Are kasrkin just another name for stormtroopers? Also the models did look different between stormtroopers and kasrkin Morin |

Karskin are just the Cadian Stormtroopers I believe... their are generic ones, but good luck finding them in a store. Online is the best bet, I bought 24 old school generic ones from some friends of mine here.

Well, not precisely, but close enough Gunther. Technically Karskin are Cadian Grenadiers, units trained and equipped to a degree that matches the Imperial Stormtroopers (who're trained at specific facilities, the same ones that train Adeptus Arbites and Commisars). The Karskin models were released with Codex: Eye of Terror, where the first Cadian-specific army list made its appearance.
Game-wise, there's no difference between the Karskin and old-school Stormtrooper models. Either are acceptible to represent stormtroopers/grenadiers.
Personally, I chose the Karskin models over the old-style Stormies when starting my grenadier regiment because I use the Chem Inhaler special-equipment doctrine, and the Karskin have resperator masks. (My allied Inquisitorial Stormtroopers are old-style, to visably differentiate)

I find old stormtroopers look outdated, they look like fat guys in puffy vests to me, and their helmets are kinda weird. Plus i got a bunch of old Karskins cheap. |
