Arcording to Lexi (this link - http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Beastmen - I hope it works), IG used to be able to take Beastmen in thier armies.

I was thinking about doing this myself. My question, what would they count as and how would I represent them?

Thanks

Yep, I've got some of the old models myself. If I were to use them, it would probably be as a commander's bodyguard, make them stand out. If you have a lot of them, I'd say field them as conscripts.

Would it be possible to post some pics? I personally was thinking about representing them as penal troopers, to show their vicious nature.

Not too hard to convert them from the various plastic kits. When Beast of Chaos re-launches in January, you'll be able to buy boxes of just ungors.
I've never played with the unit - but conscripts seem like the right way to field them.

Have to agree, Conscripts all the way.

If you can find the old figs, two in particular were very nice (I think!)...

Conscripts or penal legion.

The best use was with the old Kroot mercenary rules, of course.

I agree - Penal Legion or Conscripts

If you wanted to do an all BoC/Mutant 40k army:

Ungors as Line squads/Conscripts/Ratlings
Gors as Penal Legion/Command Squads
Minators as Ogryn
Centigors as Rough Riders
Shamen as Primaris/PBS
(Shaggroths as Sentinels?)

If you wanted to go really crazy, you could do an all ab-human army. Beastmen as all regular troops, and Ogrys and Ratlings accordingly.
