Hey, Just got my siege of vraks book and am drawn mercilessly towards the renegades. I was planning on having about 100-150 workers for troops along with some reg dudes. Now I just need to model them somehow. Please help! any ideas or input is appreciated!
Thanks,

That's a problem I'm facing myself with my genestealer cult plan.

I just did skave plague monks with gas mask heads from Pig Iron and they look suitably culty/mutanty.

One idea is Catachans painted to look like factory workers. Blue jeans for pants, blue or orange jackets, maybe with a company logo on them.

WWII helmet heads could be painted as hard hats. Plastic rod painted as pipes for h2h weapons.

Another idea, a bit cheaper, is LotR humans, since they're smaller than most 40k figures (emphasizing that they're civilians) and cheaper, $25 for 20 or 25. I had a thread on that idea down a bit on this page.

If you want to stick to GW models, the Necromunda range has loads of options. Otherwise the human models from GorkaMorka, if you can track them down somewhere.

the problem with that is you're heading towards the $1 a point level.

Plague monks would have a cool look, but if im going to buy 100 so odd plague monks theyre going to my clan pestilence army. Ill look into the LoTR humies.
thanks again,

It should be pretty easy to model some shovels and pick axes on their plague sensor thingies.

LATD, anyone?

Brettonian infantry works pretty well for the "unwashed masses"

yeah men at arms work really good. archers not so much because it's hard to get them to look like they're doing anything but drawing a bowstring.

I really like the men at arms look so Ill probably go with them.

There are also Mordheim human plastics you could mix in.
Personally, I like the Catachans idea.

If no one has mentioned it yet, empire fagellents would be excellent for rabble.

Ill have to look into them, I like some of the models but dislike others. Ill try and make a choice soon.
