I haven't done conversions before, but I've been dwelling on this particular idea that I just can shake as of late. I was thinking about making Team Fortress 2 characters from forces of the Imperium as a project to get my feet wet in conversions and custom touch-ups.

I have a handful of ideas that I've collected. Here are a few I've come up with, but I'm not Warhammer-savvy enough to really follow all the way through.

Scout: IG Catachan soldier
Soldier: SM with rocket launcher
Pyro: (This is my favorite class, but I'm drawing a blank here.)
Heavy: SM terminator with chaingun, IG ogryn
Demo: SM scout with some sort of grenade launcher
Engineer: SM techmarine
Sniper: SM scout with sniper rifle, Vindicare assassin
Medic: SM Apothecary
Spy: Callidus assassin

How does this look so far? Input?

Now do you want models that look like the standard TF2 skins?
or do you want what has the same-ish skill set?

And if you want the 2nd since most of your stuff is SM why not use a SM scout with bolter.

For a pyro you could use a Death Korps of Krieg model with flamer.

Also for the Scout, I would use a thinner, more wiry model. I was thinking a Culexus Assassin with a head-swap. Replace his pointing hand with a hand holding a sawed-off shotgun (just cut a segment out of a shotgun and glue the two end pieces together), and if you really want to get into character use GS to make a baseball bat in his other hand.

I'm actually not entirely sure. If all goes according to plan, I'll eventually do both. The one I do first is pretty much going to be the first one I can make a complete list for.

Sweet Emperor, that is glorious.
