There's nothing I like more than freakish frankensteinian combos of the plastic kits.  Not as freakish as the EoT mutant kits, but a little wacky.

I think I'm putting an LatD list, and I want a rebelling Imperial Beastman theme.  For traitors I might just use catachans (I know, they suck, for some reason I like them), maybe with beastman heads.  Could someone with the kits tell me whether ungor heads would fit?  How about cadian torsos, do they fit either (or both?) beastman heads?  I've never even touched the beastman plastics with my own hands.

I'm also doing big squads of leaping mutants, I want centigors but three copies of the metal models in each squad doesn't seem like a great idea.  I'm thinking about using WFB cavalry horse bodies with some kind of torso and gor heads.  It's a lot of work, but that's why you do L&tD.  Again, do cadian and catachan torsos go with gor heads & arms or is it a total nightmare of different scales?

The ungor heads fit perfectly on any GW human body – Catachan, Cadian, Empire, Militia etc.

Ungor legs and torsos are one-piece, so you'd have to cut them up if you wanted to match ungor legs to Catachan torsos, for example.

Gors are more in scale with orks than humans. The arms will fit on Catachan torsos, but they're going to look very simian.

I put together a tutorial on modelling leaping mutants.  Mine were bipedal (I used beastmen hooves, kroot legs, etc. to indicate "leaping), but it may spark suggestions.

If you want to dig around I had a bunch of post's on my traitor army Im building still......tons of kit bashed traitors and the like...

Thanks for the advice. I think I might be boring and use plain old gors as leaping mutants, at least to start out. No one seems to mind beasts that aren't on cavalry bases, and that's why I wanted to make them quadru(...sexta...?)peds to begin with. So the troops will be a little bland but I'll have hounds and spawn for the really freaky stuff.

dude do whatever YOU want - the whole idea of these plastic kits is that they are made for freaks like us who love bits and conversions... I started asking if people minded about doing this or that and one guys said - HEY its your game too, HAVE FUN, do what YOU want... good advice.

The first link is to a Defiler I built.  It was the first one used in a Grand Tournament.  There is actually a page on how I built it, what parts I used etc.
