Zephaniah Adriyen Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 As some of you may know, I've got some normal (as in, actually Cultist) Chaos Cultist models, that standard 20-model lot which I'm sure a lot of you know about. However, I've been looking around and... well, there's a lot of ways to run them. Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guard, practically any Necromunda models, and any conversion you can think of. What're some cool Cultists you've done in the past? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355612-cultist-counts-asconversions-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Mine are these made from genestealter cultists, some with goliath heads. Still haven't painted them yet - I might do them this ETL.

celebrandas Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I made some cultists by kitbashing Catachans and Ungors. I got 20 of them out of the two boxes, though I did have to buy some round bases because I did it right before the Ungors got the repack with round bases. If I had to do it again, I'd probably use Gors instead of Ungors because I've been told that they are slightly more proportional to Catachans than Ungors.

El_Dicko Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I basically just keep buying stuff to kitbash, have most of the Necromunda gangs, a box of GSC neophytes, did a bunch of poxwalkers mixed with the starter aos khorne dudes. I think my favorite are cawdor with admech hoods, they match the old cultist style really well.

Tallarn Commander Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Like many of you, my Renegades and Heretics Cultists (as well as Militia, Mutant Rabble, Disciples, etc.) come from a variety of sources.

Kevlarshark Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 These guys are posted in my wip, but few of the old metal cultists + redemptionists or 2. Some Old Necromunda redemptionists and WFB Empire models Old metal Cawdors They all seem to fit well with the Cultist aesthetic.

Aye, they look awesome for that (and on their own too). The whole Warcry range so far is just screaming to get used in 40K and Necromunda alike...

happyslugger Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I have about 40 of the current cultist models, but fancy getting shot of them and starting a new for my black legion (relaunch). Anyone used the tempestus scions as cultists?

Tallarn Commander Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Happyslugger, 3 of my Renegades and Heretics troopers are made from scions or scion bits. I have a plasma trooper who you can see off to the left of this image. The image is from my 6 March 2017 Chaos blog here on B&S, its the 15th image in the post: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321042-tallarn-commanders-chaos-game-summary-and-using-oil-paint/?do=findComment&comment=4674317 And I have a trooper who uses a scion head in this image from 8 March 2017 Here is a link to the original post: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321042-tallarn-commanders-chaos-game-summary-and-using-oil-paint/page-2?do=findComment&comment=4676728 And my third trooper, Tiger, also uses a scion head Here is a link to the original 28 February 2018 post http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321042-tallarn-commanders-chaos-game-summary-and-using-oil-paint/page-3?do=findComment&comment=5021509 Enjoy the pics!

sitnam Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I've also made some Cawdor cultists. Throw Kairic acolytes heads with a touch of green stuff, and they look plenty good.

Joe Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I posted mine over in my thread, but I'll share them up here too. To kick it all off, 1/3rd of one of my Traitor Guard/Cultist squads. I wanted these dudes to stick to the "former IG" aesthetic as much as possible whilst making it clear that they aren't loyalists anymore. To this end I used the GSC Brood Brothers as the base (or the Cadian Shock Troops, I forget which) with some heads from the GSC Upgrade Frame, a Flagellant head, an Orlock head and some arms from the Skitarii Rangers. I took stock of some spare Space Marine melta bombs that I had lying around and I've been using those to represent gas canisters. Although, the thought of doing a suicidal cultist all strapped up with melta bombs and krak grenades for dealing with enemy armour is enticing now... An Icon Bearer and two generic Cultists. I wanted to break up the squads a bit, so they weren't just stacked with autoguns and heavy stubbers. The Vox Caster and the Medic seemed like practical additions to the squads as well; I imagine that even the Traitor Guard recognise the need for a well-trained surgeon from time to time, and I like to think that it's a bit of a holdover from their days as loyalists. I used a mixture of bits from the Cadian and Catachan command squads, as well as the icon from a Chaos Chariot. I threw in some leftovers from the GSC Upgrade Frame for good measure as well. Last but not least; a Slaaneshi Enforcer that I started way, way back in 2017 and never got around to doing anything with. Now that I'm actually working on my Traitor Guard/Cultists a bit more I feel like it's time to finish this dude off. He was converted up using bits from the Hellstriders of Slaanesh kit and some Neophyte Hybrids. I'll post some more up a little later this week when I'm ready to show off the rest. I've got some greenstuff/plasticard work to do in the meantime! And we're back with another few Traitor Guardsmen to add to the army! Just a few simple mixes again; Cadian Shock Troopers bits, a pair of Flagellant arms, an obligatory Orlock head, Marauder shoulders and the spike off of a helmet, some Space Marine melta bombs and a Bretonnian head. I really like the central dude (he screams badass to me - plus he reminds me of the Dark Vengeance cultists/Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guard) and Heavy Stubber bro (who was actually the first Traitor Guard I put together for this project). And finally... ... a burgeoning Nurgle Cultist, converted out of a Rotter from Blood Bowl, a Plaguebearer knife and an Orlock revolver. I'm hoping to do some greenstuff work on this dude (sort of shawl/hood thing around his upper body?) to really drive home the cultist aesthetic. He's more of a one off for now, although I suppose I do need a new Kill Team... ... then again, I did want to look at doing Khorne or Slaanesh for that.

Tallarn Commander Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Wow, those are nice models! Since I already have enough Enforcers I could tack on some pistols or holsters and they would fit right in with my Renegades as Marauders. And one of my Ogryn Houndmasters would definitely steal that one dude's chain whip thingy and use it as a goad for his hounds.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Once again, Warcry provides characterful models that provide conversion fodder for 40K. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/07/14/new-models-revealed-at-the-atcgw-homepage-post-1/ My thoughts were that this latest batch, given their head dresses, might serve well as cultists/renegades in an army associated with the thousand sons army.

celebrandas Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Someone asked me to post these a while back, but I kept forgetting to take pictures of them. Turns out, Ungors and Catachans fit together fairly well, with just some minor filing to get a few bits to fit to the other kit's bodies. The tails and "claws" were my attempts at making some minor modifications with milliput. Sculpting with it was harder than I thought it would be, so I'm going to eventually get some greenstuff to use instead.
