So, recently I have acquired 6 Space Slann and 3 Saharduin Piscean Warriors, I haven't painted them yet, but I would like to incorporate them into an army once I do. I have an Imperial guard army right now, but am willing to buy a new one if I can use these guys in it.

Does anyone have suggestions as to how I can use these guys? I would prefer it to be somewhat believeable (aka not using them as Ogryn).

I will also ask for painting advice in the right forum but if you have any scheme ideas now I am always open, I don't even have a clue what I am doing yet.

Could you post pictures? I'm not sure what these models are like, which could influence ideas.

They look like these?

Spoiler:

Possessed. Mutants. Kroot. Chaos Cultists. Genestealer Cultists. Tau alien mercenaries. Inquisitorial warband members (especially Jokaero or Warrior Acolytes). Sslyth (Piscean).

Great models. Good find! I'd love to get my hands on a Piscean, especially if the Sslyth wind up being useful someday.

Ya those are the guys. I like the Inquisition idea. They have lots of good retinue options that are accomodating of oddities like these guys.

**Swastakowey**

just use them as guardsmen. There is a classified Reptilian Guard regiment. Just use them like abhumans (spread among regiments). They should fit in fine.

Could always use them in a DE retinue thingy(court of the archon?) That or like people said, Inquisitors can have all sorts of random henchmen in their retinue.

I've some Adeptus Arbites like these dudes http://oldschoolworkshop.blogspot.com/2014/01/evolution-of-force-adeptus-arbites.html
They've bolters, shotguns, and a grenade launcher.
What can they be used as? Any Space Marine allies?

You could use them in a Inquisitorial Retinue. They would also fit quite nice fluffwise.
