Traitor guard / cultist beastmen part 3

I've managed to put together another beastman cultist / traitor guard model. This time I've used a gor body (off which I decided was it too tricky to try and trim the hooves from), the icon bearer arm from the plague bearers kit, the chaos undivided icon top from the chaos marines kit, and a beastman arm hand-swapped with the Catachan las pistol arm... and a bit of the old green stuff.

It was actually a bit trickier than it looks - for some reason I kept cutting the pins I was using too short, and getting distracted variously by the door bell, the phone and the Mrs whilst trying to get the glue to bond.

In the end, it somehow came together...

Imperial Guard / Cultist Beastman tester model

I've recently been inspired by Victoria Lamb's Broolian beastmen / guardsmen which as well as being fantastic, reminded me of how awesome the Rogue Trader era Imperial Guard beastmen were. And those models have been a long standing set of vintage models that I've always wanted since I was first going to GW in 1987/88.

So I did a bit of research to find out if anybody had been making suitable conversions at all, and lo! They had. It seems that Gors fit well with beefed up (blatantly steroid munchin'!) Catachan Guardsmen in terms of size. They (the Catachans) are much bigger than their Cadian counterparts, and fit very well with the Gor heads.

I'm told the Ungor heads fit quite well with the Cadian bodies... Another experiment for the future. Anyways, I digress.

So a couple of Ebay shops later, I got some stuff together, and this is the first one I've put together...

The gap by the arm will get filled. The glue was still setting
when I took this.

This ought to give you a rough idea of scale. He's a big brute. Make no
mistake!

Chaos cultist from Dark Vengeance

Simple as. Just a quick job on a Chaos Cultist from the Dark Vengeance box...

Pretty happy for a quick enough job. It's a bit of a rough cut, so there's probably a couple of bits that could do with tightening up.

These cultist models are boss, though. I love the bits of guard uniform that crop up on these models.
