I use Fantasy models as the basis for my Imperial Guard, using the Bretonian Men at Arms and Peasant Archers.



I currently have over 100 converted and freshly stripped and re-primed awaiting paint...

Yeah, Bretonnian bodies and heads make for great Trenchers, even if you don't have gas masks on them. You need to do some clipping off of the arms on the Bretonnian torso's in most cases, but that's the only hassle. I myself am thinking of using Skinks or Saurus warriors as "counts as" for Kroot. Maybe Skinks as hounds, idk. Lizardmen have nicer models than Kroot, personal preference. I've seen CSM armies use WFB Chaos stuff, like icons and even cannons or what not (not a chaos player, can't say for sure) in their 40k lists as "count as" stuff.
