I'm looking to find some ideas for converting my Tuareg Sniper minis from Red Veil into Ghulam Snipers and wondered if the community could give me some helpful advice please? For reference, I own the old hacker and two new sniper Tuareg models, I own both sets of old and new Ghulam rifle models, and the old HMG model. I do not plan to buy the new SWC boxset at this time but would like to paint up a couple of dedicated Ghulam snipers to match in size with the newer of the rifle Ghulam models. I thought at first it would be easy enough to distinguish the genuine Tuareg hacker model with a paint job that would separate him from the others (ie painting his headgear in a unique colour). Whilst I would paint the Tuareg Snipers the same tones as the newer Ghulam models. However, if people feel there could be a bit more done without buying lots of other models for conversion, I am very interested in any ideas please! Any and all advice will be very much appreciate thank you. Please feel free to post any pictures of your conversions of Tuaregs or other models used for Ghulam Snipers or similar!
Pretty simple conversion using a headswap, as the main difference between the models is that Turaregs have a turbin and the Ghulams do not. Infact I did a conversion recently with a Tuerareg body and a Ghulam head. Only tricky part was carving off the plaits that fall across the chest plate. You could use any head you like.

Lovely work and an excellent suggestion - thank you! I don't yet have a bits box for my Infinity models to pick out spare from, so I might see if I can swap something with the Spec Op extras, kinda regretting buying some of them individually without their spare weapons/heads now!
