Basically, I have 3000 pnts of Horus Heresy world eaters. They look fantastic, and I am very proud of them but it's hard to find horus heresy players where I live. I have tons of units that just can't be translated into 40k...but I would love to have advice on what I can proxy stuff as instead. I don't mind making a few unit purchases if I need to to round out the collection for a better 40k list, but I would like to keep my shopping list to a minimum if that makes sense.

Here's what I have:

-big beefy terminator close combat consul (maybe run as a slaughterbound?)

-a master of signals (I don't think there's a way I could feasably run him in a 40k army list but I'm really proud of the conversion God damnit)

-kharn the betrayer (definetly gonna run as 40k Kharn)

-2 squads of despoilers (easily can be run as khorne berserkers)

-a unit of bloodletter daemons

-a 10 man unit of jump pack rampagers (no idea if they'd work, but maybe just run them without the jump pack as berserkers?)

-red butchers (planning to run them as eightbound)

-a castraferrum dreadnought (could run as a helbrut)

-a leviathan dreadnought (maybe run as one of the daemon engines? Or is that a stretch?)

-two rhino transports

-a predator tank

-a land raider

-2x 10 man squad of traitor militia. They are themed as a voidship boarding party. Their weapons don't really line up well to be Jakhals... But do you think I could get away with it? They are equipped with solar auxilia lasguns and bayonets.

- 3x quad mortar rapiers

-3x jet bikes

-a traitor imperial knight

Now given what I have, I was thinking of just buying a daemon prince model for 40k and kitbashing it slightly to fit with the aesthetics of my army to round out a viable list.

But also, given what I have, do you think I'd have better luck just running them as vanilla chaos space Marines? I would like to use as much of what I have as I can as it's a beautifully painted and modeled army. Would love to hear thoughts.
