I’m hoping that they bring out some stormtroopers with the packs and ammo clips on their armor similar to the ones from A New Hope on Tatooine.
Anyone thinking the same or thinking about modeling some on their troops?
Stormtroopers with sculpted gear
Or you could add the stuff yourself using bits from WW2 miniatures. Surplus military equipment is the origin of most of the props, particularly world war two.
True it woudnt take much.

Can I at least tell him that the pouch on their left shoulders is an ammunition pouch for an MP40? Or that the tube on a Stormtrooper's back is at least based on the German gas mask case of WW2? 
....very much want to see more, More, MORE of the STORMIES in gear and posses....wonderful!!!

Oh that one im aware of! LOL!
@Dark DonThanks for starting this thread if for no other reason than to remind me I have a whole bunch of WW2 themed bits in my parts bins which have a new use. 
Somehow I didn't think of that despite planning WW2 themed painting schemes >_<.
No worries!
Always thought it was neat how much of the gear and sound effects from the movies were from WW2.
Solos blaster, a Mauser. Stormtrooper blasters, British Sterling’s. Falcons engines, a Mustang flying high!
Great stuff!
I’ve been wanting to join the Indiana based Rebel Legion as a Rebel Fleet Soldier but cant find a WW2 Naval helmet to mimic theirs!
Anvil industries has packs of pouches and stuff.

still a bit delicate (small) for this scale
Honestly eventually i'd like to see alternate sculpt packs down the line. I don't think sand troopers necessarily need their own stats and unit cards as they kind of function about the same as regular stormtroopers, but sometimes they did carry larger rifles.
Could also ask any historical players if they have spare bits from their Bolt Action sprues.
I'd rather not see alternate sculpts, I'd rather they spent the time of the sculptors on new units.
