    Conversion idea: How to convert the official daemon prince model from GW to each of the chaos gods, but using the original model as a base ;) interesting topic as its too plain to fit with any of the 4 chaos gods

      I did something like that for Tzeentch at least (more Thousand son, but could be used for generic Tzeentch easily). I used the legs of the demon Prince, the torso and arms from the morghast archai set, and the head from the Free Guilds demigryph knight set. For wings I made a cast of some old GW eagles I had but you could also use something like Scourge wings I believe.

      Easiest would be Catachan with Cadian torsos for the rough prisoner look, but would imply the Imperium even bothers spending the Thrones on getting them flak vests.
      Wargames Atlantic will be putting out "Cannon Fodder" soon and they will even come with explosive collars.

They should look like normal Imperial citizens, maybe even some guardsmen among them, but with some details off about them. Or if you want to make them look really shady, there's always the Delaque gang.

      It's usually just IG guardsmen with imperial symbols replaced with Tau ones/parts of their flak armour replaced with fire warrior gear. The original rules for gue'vasa auxillaries had them use generic lasguns alongside a couple pulse rifles, however I think running them as carbine Strike Teams would work better nowadays, and would reccomend trying to kitbash them out of scions as the carapace armour might blend better with the tau armour.
