Wasn't quite sure of where to put this, but I figured here'll do. so, I'm planning a chaos demons army, and was writing some plaguebearers in because I love their rules, but I thought 'hang on a minute, I don't like the models!' so has anyone got any ideas as to what I could use as counts-as plaguebearers. I think a little conversion would be nice; pustules, intestines, the nurgle works! any models I could base these converted versions on (not current plaguebearers, metal and expensive :( ) that are generally cheap and plastic, with only minor conversion required (I'm bot a green stuff master) thanks in advance.

I've seen some really cool conversions of the Warhammer Fantasy Vampire Counts ghouls.

A link to a conversion: http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/11579-Ghoul%20Plague%20Bearers.html
And a link to the GW page for them: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440103a&prodId=prod1050048

There is also an awesome conversion involving switching bloodletters into plaguebearers: works very well, I found the process on here and the models look great. It involves cutting off the back end of the head, cutting off the horns, building a bulging stomach and converting from two eyes into one. Looks great and is easy conversion work. Look around for tutorials.

Thanks, both really cool ideas!!

I went the Ghoul route myself as well. Here's a shot of mine, unpainted so you can see what was done to them better.

I was thinking of using WHFB Zombies as a starting point for khornite PBs. They'd be shot up, refusing to die, just staggering around hungry for the kills.

Are those swords just made out of plasticard?

As I said in about 30 other threads on the same topic, I use Confrontation Incubi.

I took Kroot Mercenaries and gave them Ghoul heads, then chopped down the rifles into single handed blades, green stuff, blah blah blah. It actually looks pretty nice.
