link The death guard plague planet seems to have beastmen in it. What would they be on the table top? I play 5th ed 40k so use the older codex. What would some plague beastmen be counted as? |

I've see someone use beastmen heads on marine bodies with Tau Stealthsuit legs (which were of course altered a bit.) it looks fantastic. Doing that you could really build any CSM unit you wanted. Personally, for 6th edition I am using some left over beastmen and catachans from other projects to make some extra cultists. Without conversions or anything though, I think plague beastmen could be used as plague marines just fine in 5th edition. For in the new book, I'd probably use them as nurgle marked cultists though. |

In 6th edition you can take allies. You could proxy Orks as Beastmen. They are pretty close to the same. |

The EM4 phagons I think are very good and we used to use them with imperial guard stats just up ws 1 and minus bs 1 should still work. |

Battle Phlox's suggestion is a good one. I also like the thought of beastmen as a type of Chaos Imperial Guard. They'd have superior Toughness = 4, but WS & BS of 2. So they'd be durable, but not much else. |

I put WH beastman heads on Tau warriors. I also armed Beastmen with las rifles |

Once upon a Time You could have Beastmen in the Imperial Guard. Then GW changed for the worst. |

I have undead in my Bretonnian army. This is begging for a Monty Python quote: "But I am not dead yet!" |

"Once upon a Time You could have Beastmen in the Imperial Guard. Then GW changed for the worst." Worst. Haiku. Ever. |

Once upon a TimeYou could have Beastmen in the Imperial Guard. I'm planning on modeling that someday. 50 man conscript blob I think… using Ungor and Anvil industries bare arms since I already have 50+ loose lasguns from all the cadian kits I've bought in the last four years and Catachan arms would be too expensive and too big to look okay on the Ungor anyways. The upside to the plastic kits is that it's easier than ever to make your own version of whatever doesn't "exist" anymore. |
