I believe most people know what a "Halo device" is, so I won't explain it here.

I want to make a drama or a simple skirmish game, an Inquisitor and his henchmen fight against a human lord who have been transformed into a Xeno monster by a Halo-device and its minions.

The first and second stage Halo-device infected look like merely humans(although they have become extremely strong, agile, and nearly immortal), so it's easy. the problem is how to kitbash a third stage infected.

According to its description,“There is no longer any separation between the user and the Halo Device whatsoever; their body becomes perceptibly altered, remaining humanoid but no longer Human. Instances of burning, radiant eyes, corpse-like flesh, distorted gaunt features, mottled or armoured hide-like skin, and even a fine, beetle-like carapace are all recorded, and almost invariably the fingers of the hands transform into long talons of exposed bone.”——————so the infected at this stage is clearly a humanoid xeno, retaining a basic human outline, differing only in minor details.they use regular human weapons and equipment, such as power armor (perhaps modified specifically for it), plasma pistols, power fists, or lightning claws. and they are all S5 T5 I6 A4 creatures with IWND and FEAR special rule.

So some ideas are needed here. what kits are needed to make homebrew stuff like this?

for example, vampire kits from the WFB and AOS would be the simplest materials, although such degree of conversion is not so "xeno".

Like a 4+ invul Iron Halo?
Or the thing that Master Chief blew up?
Or a High-Altitude/Low-Orbit jump pack?

3 options... #1 use the old Ambull model. #2 if you want him bigger and scarier, use the Dreaded Ambull from Blackstone Fortress. Or #3 use this bug guy from Necronunda... whose name I don't know.

If you want to keep to mostly-human, then Dark Eldar kits would probably fit the bill nicely. Its easy enough to vampirise those as well. The armour is quite insectile already, and could be painted up as flesh or natural carapace instead.

The Genestealer Magus models might work nicely as well.
