I'm still new to DAKKA, so apologies if i have posted in the wrong section. Anywho, my question is, could i potentially (without large amounts of converting) use my imperial guard infantry as cultists or even zombies????

I have large amounts of catachans, and i think using them as bulky cultists would rock. (I don't have lots of finances so i'm trying to make do with what i have).

Would love to hear any feed back you my have. cheers.

Yeah, why not? You could even combine them with the WHFB zombie kit Good luck with it!

Oh forgot to mention, i would like to be able to use them as Guard, or cultists/zombies depending on if i feel like playing guard or chaos.

Cultists with autooguns, yeah, sure
And traitor guard would work too.

Cheers for that. Was just looking for some clarity. I have a few unpainted catachans, and i was thinking of just putting chaos stars on their chests, and making them cultists. there isn't enough of them to constitute a whole army, but there is enough to bulk out an existing cultists squad

Perfectly legal I think. Friendly games for sure, and tournies probably too. Paint 'em a bit different then yer Catachans though.

they will be a mix of a few random colours. so they should stand out hopefully.

If people have an issue with it, well i guess that's there problem

I really don't see a problem with it, just make sure you let your opponent know at the beginning of the game and have at it.

Lasguns and autoguns are functionally identical in game terms, as are laspistols and autopistols, so I can't see you having any prroblems.

Yup, just paint them up as traitor guard that are particularly messy. Bleeding eyes, frothing mouths would mean that they make decent zombies as well as trator guards/cultists.
