I am just beginning to play miniature games, and I was inspired by someone who converted their Tyranids into Zerg. So, I would like to make a Protoss army, based on the newest Starcraft II models.

1- What army list do I use?

Grey Knights make perfect Zealots. Drop Pods would be great Warp Prisms. Dreadnoughts could work as Immortals. Vindicare Assassin could work as a Dark Templar. Librarian as High Templar. Tau crisis suits with jump-shoot-jump as Stalkers. Tau Riptide as Colossus. Tau probes as probes or observers or sentries, depending on their type.

I haven't found any list that would integrate all my ideas, but I have a very limited background to work from. I don't really care about winning every battle, so the list doesn't have to be the most competitive. I mostly just want to charge some Protoss down the throat of some space-marines and Xenos.

2- What models do I use? Head-swap Tau infantry? Scratch-build from foam? Papercraft? I'm totally stumped in this department.

I'm posting this in both the list building and model working forums to try and get both these questions answered. Any help or suggestions would be welcome.
