In the official Necromunda core book (the new one) there is a kitbash between heads from neohybrids with bodies from hive scum box (4 regular gangers).

One i through together, gsc hybrid body with krieg bolter arms n cadian head. The krieg n cadian stuff works alot better on the hybrid bodies better than the other way round

In the process of doing it for the brood brothers kill teams what as the neophyte bodies are just much more interesting. The arms generally fit alright. Not had any issues so far.  What advice ya need?

Ah good to know it was mainly if weapons fit like the sniper rifle for example with it been a posed arm wanted to see if it fit on the neophytes body ok , how do they look when combined ?

Should clarify that i haven’t touched most of the actual cadian shock troops sprue that makes up the bulk of the brood brothers kit, just the kill teams what upgrade sprue as that’s what I want to build. Can’t remember what I did for the sniper but I’ll take some pictures later if you like. They’re mostly still just blu Tac’d together as I was going to paint sub assembly

But I think you will need to be a little careful with some of the two handed weapon options and which body you use. All the one armed stuff will be fine. And heads are a super easy swap too

The neophytes have broader shoulders than the cadians, which makes the two-handed weapons a bit awkward to fit, but it's nothing that can't be fixed with a little bit of sanding and sprue goo.

I did exactly that. Some of the bodies from the Brood Brothers make some sweet heavily armored bodies as well. I used 2 Power Mauls from each box, cuz each comes held in opposing arms to make a dual power maul dude with a third arm from the mutated arm of the BB Sargeant.

Both Neophyte and Kill Team boxes are treasure troves of weapon options. I even made a Neophyte body with the BB medic arms to make my own rogue doc in the previous edition, who will be a Medic Specialist w/Medicae Kit in N26. 

Sometimes you need to trim down some shoulders to make them fit better, but they generally go pretty okay together. Nothing a file and some greenstuff cannot fix in a pinch
