Just as the title says, I'll be getting a bunch of guardians in a lot deal soon and was wondering if there's any way I could use them as Dire Avengers or convert them to DA's instead

Just paint them blue & have a contrasting colour for regular Guardians?

Is that all I'd have to do if I don't run any guardians at all in my list? I wouldn't have to make those little plumes with green stuff?

If you're not running guardians then this is a non-issue.

If you are running guardians then at least a different paint scheme to differentiate would be effective. I am not a fan of the giant helmets either (my DAs when I played eldar were RT era guardians).

Alternatively you could put on some helmets from other sources. I always thought the Pig Iron heavy infantry closed or visored head sprues would look nice as a slightly different view.

dude, just green stuff the hair.

Or you could spend money at some place like the Bitz Barn and buy DA heads and use those on your guardians.

Yes there is. My brother bought a lot of Guardians and a lot DA heads off eBay. The heads cost him about five dollars for twenty heads. Hope this was helpful.
