Well I started a personal conversion for fun, of turning a spare Tau XV8 crisis suit I had into a Quake 2 Strogg "Tank":



No, thats not my conversion! But you can see the starting similarities!

It got me thinking, what Dex could be used to make an actual Army?

CSM? - An obvious choice, but dont think it would work to well to fit with a Q2 style force.

Orks? - Could work well wargear wise? but poor BS would cause issues.

Well How about TAU! Thats what we started with, Do a straight swap, Run as almost WYSIWYG, Call them Chaos/Nurgle tau for those being picky (Lets NOT have a "why Tau can't be chaos" tread, I know full well why! But i'm talking about strogg, nuts to the fluff anyway!)

But again Tau doesn't quite fit.

So i'm throwing it open to the Dakkite's, any suggestions, or is there a 40k Dex which is Painfully obviously sutible for Q2 strogg?


Oh and for those curios or thinking to them selves "What the fudge is a strogg?":
Look Here!

Note: I'm purposely ignoring Q4, its was naff compared to Q2, and super naff against Q1.

Imperial guard?
Using vet squads?
