I am undertaking a big conversion project and have decided to document it as I go through the process.
I started a Black Legion army recently and I have seen the Chaos Cultists are supposed to be fairly strong in 8th (for what they do, especially using Abbadon's fearless aura). I have 25 regular cultists, but as I was looking at some models I was not using, I saw my units of Tau Fire Warriors that I would never use for a Tau army. And I had an idea.
With the 4th Sphere Expansion going belly up, it leaves room for some Tau to have been scarred and deceived into fighting against the brethren and for Chaos (not a lot of room, but a little). I decided to turn the Fire Warrior squad into Chaos Tau and play them like regular cultists on the field. I have some ideas to make them look all chaos-y and have a lot more ideas.
Here is step 1! Bayonets and some bolters (I don't have autoguns, but a bunch of spare bolters), I am going to be giving them more bolters soon AND I am considering cutting up the bolters to look more like autoguns. I made the Tau Cult Leader with a sword and horns, which I might make more scraggly and broken. Their packs have been replaced with the side packs that come with Space Marines so they have napsacks instead of proton-packs or whatever they were.
Long road to go, but a good start! Will update as I go.
