I hope this is in the right section.
I am wondering if anyone knows of any conversion parts for Red Corsairs as I am currently building an army
if not maybe some suggestions i can use for this project they don't have to be specifically Red Corsairs pieces

Um.. mix in regular marine bits with chaos marine bits?

Red Corsairs are not an army that has their own style, rather they are a mix and match of renegades gone over to a single cause.

There is the story about how Huron took the Space Wolves battle barge (or maybe cruiser) and I am fairly sure more than a few joined him so maybe get a box of space wolves to mix in too.

Are you painting these as the.. I guess the newer scheme where they are all red or the older (and imo better) one where everyone still has their loyalists colours but then a big red X over their chapter iconography?

I am painting them in the red black and gold
i was talking maybe shoulder pads with the chapter icon on it the fist with the claws

This is my WIP Red Corsair Termy Lord. http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/412145-.html?m=2

Red Corsairs are not as daemonic as other war bands/ legions are so I stayed away from mutations. They're relatively new so some of their armour will resemble loyalist gear ( some even keep their loyal colour scheme but paint a huge red cross over imperial iconography)

Make sure you proportion the amount of red and gold to black. Too much red and gold will give it World Eater feel.

Aside from that all you'll need is to make your own black fist icon, painted or transfers. ( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/howardtreesong/bolstransfers.jpg )

that story about the red corsairs tkaign the Fang of Fenris or what ever it was called, is the poorest and weakest part of a poor and weak codex. A lot of Chaos and Wolf players choose to ignore it.

If i were you and want conversion/thematic ides i'd check out the FW Badab wars, it explains the background of the Astral Claws who's remenants become the Red Corsairs.

also Remember that the red corsairs are often recently renegade marines and often not devoted entirely to chaos, so using normal marine bits and making them look a bit more brutal. using chaos weapons etc.
