I just got back into War gaming after a long break, life being life and all that jazz. Though now I've taken more a liking to the modding and just displaying things I have worked on. I feel a little silly posting these rather lackluster minis comparing them to some of the amazing work that I've seen on this forum (Which is where I made this decision to start modding in the first place)

I plan on nibbling away at this armies progress throughout the coming months but so far I have
60 cultists
1 Lord
1 Dark Apostle
1 Sorceror (Haven't found one I like/haven't made one myself yet)
5 Terminators
5 chosen
and an unknown number of CSM's

While I might not get to play as often as I used to... I still want to mod and paint
Hopefully people don't find my work insulting to their amazing talents, but any help or tips would be appreciated

Looks like a good start, and 60 cultists will give you enough room for some conversions, the one tip I can give is to decide on a theme to tie everything together.

Nice work on the conversions! Really digging the Chaos Lord conversion; where are his claw and head from?

Those are from the Seraphon Old blood with Carnosaur.
Found a place that sells bits pretty cheap

Thank you! My main theme is trying to make them look a little more organised than a rabble of loons with sticks. Adding lasguns or imperial weapons/IG kit

If you want to vary up the cultists with some imperial flavour, you might want to consider cutting the cultists in half, with the legs seperate, and the belt and torso together and the head loose. Then mix in a box of cadian guardsmen. Gives you a number of flak armours in your cult units and you can combine legs from one cultist with the torso of another. However, the cultists are made of a pretty hard plastic, so be carefull. I know I managed to hurt myself plenty doing that.

I went a little overbard after that, with dark elf, skaven and other bitz. The picture gives some examples.

Hirogen, that's a very interesting idea.. I'll have to do that myself.. split up the bodies and arms and mix in other parts for my Conscripts (Cultists) in my guard force.

I'd like to add to Hirogen's suggestion, and suggest also adding some Chaos Marauders. Heck, mix in some Tempestus Scions for even more diversity!

Nice looking conversions. Converting is my favourite thing about the hobby
