How to tell which is which?

I just recently recieved a trade. Included were Armoured fists and Karskins.

I need help telling them apart since they arrived in the same bag and I'm
having trouble deciphering them. I know you can look at the slot things
and they're labled but theyre just not specific enough.

Half of them are glued into bases.

As far as I am aware there are no specific armoured fist models unless you refer to the metal Armageddon Steel Legion. If they are Steel Legion then they will all have gas masks over the face (not the eyes) and will be wearing long greatcoats.

Kasrkin should have tubes coming from thier guns to thier backpacks and full face coverings.

Any heavy weapons will be Armageddon.

Armored Fist squads are just normal infantry squads mounted in a Chimera, so I'm gonna assume that they're just plastic Cadians (and hence some confusion with the Kasrkin). Kasrkins should look more heavily armored than their normal Cadian brothers, and if I'm not mistaken, each Kasrkin has cables running from his hellgun to his backpack. Also I'm pretty sure that several if not most Kasrkin have heads covered in masks, whereas normal Cadians should be wearing just a helmet that leaves their face visible.

Edit: Boy don't I feel redundant now.... :(

LoL, I'm refering to the metal miniatures. The guy I traded with said they
were the oldschool armoured fists, and I've figured out the Kasrkins. :D

Old school Armoured Fists? There are none!

Armoured Fist squads are the exact same as whatever other type of Infantry model you use, be it Catachan, Cadian, Armageddon, etc. etc.

If they are metal, then I would assume they are Steel Legion (Armageddon) meaning, as stated before, they have trenchcoat-like clothing and gas masks. You can check out the IG Codex for a picture of them (easy to find) and also check in the Elites section to clarify your Kasrkin models.

If they aren't any of the models you can see in there, check out the Elites section again and look at the old Storm Trooper models (before the Kasrkin came out) and see if they look like those. If so, they aren't Armoured Fist at all, but instead old Stormies.
