Combat armour and carbine toting Shock Troopers in the back. Heavy armour regular pirate troopers up front.

Loved the basing idea of boarding hooks.

Wasn't happy with 40k backpacks. After getting ideas I went sprue hunting and chose these instead.

Pirate troopers and shock troopers. WiP.

I used hobby chain attached to GW container eagle-head stacking corner pieces as heavy duty boarding hooks on the bases. The idea being that we are seeing them step over a bulk head / door lip and are negotiating the heavy boarding chain between their legs and entering your game as a very unwelcome guest.

The troopers are Gates of Antares bodies with just a GW pirate / empire head swap.
The shock troopers have similar bit box head swaps onto the push fit Primaris minis.

After getting ideas on Facebook, how best to cover the 40k back pack hole, I went with a Tanks The WW2 Skirmish Game Valentine tank hatch. A Les Grognards back pack and a Frostgrave Soldiers 2 backpack. Also, just for WYSIWYG, the Troopers got a knife each from a Ghost Archipelago crew sprue.
