few more questions (ur helping me out big time so I'm gonna keep askin' 'em ha ha)
I still haven't bought my first batch of IG yet (lack of funds..... stupid car insurance and savings...), but I started thinking. What if I bought a box of fire warriors, then mixed them up w/ my guardsmen? give them a look like they've been killin' and lootin'. you think that could work? same w/ grey knights bits as looted armor for CSM.
also, I wanna use Tyranid limbs for mutations on CSM and/or IG. should I buy gaunts bits for good sized mutated limbs, or genesteelers? or another unit?

If you need preds you can use Russ's. Already has HB sponsons or convert into Las., Use Pred. turret if it fits, or convert turret, or buy FW 2x las turret for Russ. Thats what I'm planning on doing for my guys.

Ghouls and flaggelants get used by a lot of people.
For my own traitor guard I was thinking something along the lines of released rogue psykers. A world in uprising, the renegades would probably release all psykers currently holed up in the dungeons awaiting pick-up from the black ships. Sadly, the only model so far I have found is the Mordheim Witch model.
I've seen the same psyker squad. Very scary indeed. I want to use at least one child because of the one in Eisenhorn that takes down that Space Marine. That was just kick ass!
Released psykers on the loose is a good idea. Scourge the Heretic by Sandy Mitchell would be good inspiration for you if you haven't already read it.

A few years ago I made a squad of guardsmen inspired by the Colonial Marines of Aliens fame. I mixed Firewarrior and IG bits to great effect. I loved how they turned out and I recommend it. You will need to greenstuff a lot of bits together but it does work.
Grey Knight bits mixed with CSM stuff would look good as well. Can't see why that won't work.
It depends on what kind of limbs you are after. Gaunt limbs are quite good for that sort of thing and with a little bit of work will look great. Genestealer limbs are amazing but aren't as varied as the gaunts. It all depends on what look you're after and I recommend looking at pictures of each and decide what kind of limbs you want. But it's an exciting idea!

This is true. I have bits from an old Executioner Russ kit I could probably bash together as a Predator eventually. Thanks for the idea.

If you magnetize the front sponsons, make a storm bolter 'sponson' for it. Problem sorted. I doubt many oppnonents would object to having it count as a pintle-mounted storm bolter.

I have been thinking of using a Chimera chassis and giving it sponsons and replacing the hull mounted bolter into a storm bolter.

I've found a CD of one my faviourite bands and I've been listening to it all day. Great inspiration for what I do, here's a taste:
Back down to business.
A renegade militiaman. Using a metal Tallarn I added greenstuff to the face to make a gasmask. It's still not done.
Command Rhino. All mudified up and ready to, well, command!
Chimera w/autocannon. Again, with added mud.
Griffon Mortar. Almost done!
Chimera w/Autocannon. To think this was covered in about twelve layers of paint once.
Leman Russ Vanquisher. Almost done, just need to weather the bolters.
Same again.
Lengfeld-Pattern Chimera. Almost done.
This next mini is my entry to Figmentia 2009. It's an online competition where you must create a character from scratch and build a custom base for it. Once done, a backstory is needed and then it can be entered. I've just added my entry so I can now reveal it to you all.
Behold my Exalted Champion!
And some fluff:
It is said, often by fools, that the Exalted Champion of this renegade war-host was once a bodyguard of 'The most august Regenz Ferdinant, Planetary Governor of Alamein' before the blighted worlds fall from the Emperor's Gaze. Alamein, a planet rich in promethium, was already the target of the Archenemy's subterfuge as key military officials had started a purge of personnel to ensure that when the dark revolution began no-one would be able to stop it.
For months Regenz Ferdinant was under the illusion that those being 'educated' within the ranks were worshipping the dark powers and took it upon himself to keep the local Ordos Hereticus Lord-Inquisitor updated in an effort to stave off exterminatus. To this end the governor placed responsibility of compiling these reports to a few key members of his government in the event of open revolt. His bodyguard was also given the responsibility to act on the governors behalf in the event of an evacuation of the Governor's Palace.
The revolt arrived and local authorities were powerless to put up even token resistance. The PDF, which was thought of as being cleansed, turned on the civilian population and massacred every Emperor-loving soul they could find. The planetary government was in complete disarray and it was at this moment the dark powers struck. During an emergency cabinet meeting, Regenz' bodyguard convulsed and butchered everybody within the room. The floor still slick with blood, he then made a report to the local Ordos claiming that all was under control and that the government had initiated an evacuation drill.
Years have since passed and as a sign of loyalty to his new deities, the former bodyguard has undergone surgery to fuse his weapons and armour to his flesh. As a sign of utmost fealty, his chosen cabal of elite warriors have done the same.
Now he musters the men for the defence of the Alamein system against the loyalist forces of the Imperium, clashing swords with the champions of the Ultramarines and the Shadow Templars while crushing the troopers of the Alamein Loyalist Remnant and Libertia Guard underfoot alike.
And as an extra treat, here's an Alamein Loyalist Remnant trooper I painted not so long ago.
