Backpack Bits Backpacks

Squads printed from one file tend to look like clones, and the back of a power-armoured trooper is the part an opponent stares at for most of a game. These alternative power packs exist to break that up: replacement dorsal units for tabletop-scale sci-fi infantry, used at assembly so a firing line reads as separate soldiers rather than one figure repeated. Bits like these are the quiet workhorse of army building. They give conversion-minded hobbyists something to trade between kits, rescue models whose original parts went missing or came off badly during stripping, and mark a veteran squad out from a line unit without any sculpting of your own. This lives in the same drawer as spare arms, shoulder guards and heads, the accumulated odds and ends that make a home-built force feel personal rather than boxed.
