A random lot of figs I bought included 10 Assault marines, but only 4 have the "correct" torsos- the other 6 had MK V torsos.
I only noticed the difference after I stripped, disassembled and reassembled everything
What do you guys think of using the MK V torsos on Assault Marines? Do the cables look enough like straps for the jump packs? Is this the kind of thing that incites nerdrage?
I couldn't find anything specific to this topic, any info would be appreciated.

As a modeller, I would care at the "8 out of 10 guys gotta have it.. the last 2, don't-care-need-to-get-the-squad done!" level
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.
If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

Does not bother me one way or the other. I have about 30 marines with jump packs, and I think around 1/2 have the straps. The others don't.
If I had to go back and redo it, I would probably not use the strap torsos, anyways. Use the plain ones, and magnetize the backpacks, so I can run them on foot or in the air.

- A simple 'not interested' to a trade offer is just being polite. It helps people setting up multiple trades know where they stand.

I don't think it's a big deal, if you're happy.
They're your toys and, in the end, you ar the only one that needs to be satisifed with them. Personally, I think the "strap" trosos look like crap, and I do not use them at all. I'd rather explain the jump pack attachment by making up some scientific/futuristic sounding method.
"Oh, yeah. The new Mark 3VI actually just attach to the user with a Magnothermic Gyroscopic Geode Coupling. It allows for greater flexibility in movement for the wearer, while actually being a stronger connection than the straps on previous Mark packs."

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.
I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.
They don't make SW Skyclaw fronts with straps. Most of my SW jump troops do not have he straps neither does the new BA Deathcompany box. I know where you are coming from and it is nice to have a squad all the same. If someone calls you on it I would slap them for even commenting.
Youngwolf777 hooked me up with a few torsos so crisis averted
(thanks again Dan)
I wasn't really worried about it until I put the question out there. Then it started bugging me when I was looking at them- mild OCD kicking in. Or maybe it was a good procrastination technique?
I really have to get this pile of marines assembled and painted!
