===Cultist Blobs===
For any CSM army, you're going to need a metric fuckton of cultists, but unless you wanna get 10 sets of the 5-man cultist squad or happen to have three sets of the 20 man from extra DV sets from two years ago, you're going to have to convert a lot. Some ideas:
#Blackstone Fortress is a good start for cultists. You get 14 traitor guardsmen off the bat, plus four each of Negavolt Cultists and Beastmen. Both can be easily put onto 25mm bases, with a little overhang on a couple. Additionally, pop some Ghoul heads onto Ur-Ghul bodies for neat looking Gollum cultists (bonus points if you put the Ur-Ghul heads on Ghoul bodies for creepy looking Haemonculus abominations). Now you have 26 cultists. A good start, but we need MOAR.
#For a Tzeentchian army, grab the Kairic Acolytes set. Give them some extra bolters or lasguns for counts-as autoguns or laspistols and bolt pistols for pistols, now you have 20 more.
#For a Slaaneshi warband, slap some Sisters of Slaughter/Blood Sisters/Lifetakers heads on DEldar Wyches makes for perfect corrupted Eldar. Simple and super effective.
#Khorne warbands are also super easy - grab some Bloodreavers, slap them on 25mm bases, now you got 20 cultists.
#Nurgle is beyond blessed. For starters, remember that Rogue Trader box ''we told you to get?'' Anyway, the Vox Shamblers are ready-to-go cultists. Now use an extra Plaguebearer set (don't fucking lie to me, I know you have one) for the arms, which you can then proceed to attach onto Genestealer, IG or Fire Warrior bodies for infected militia. If you're desperate, Poxwalkers are always a good option.
#Dark Mechanicum (helpful for Iron Warriors) cultists can be made easily by mismatching Skitarii and Militarum Tempestus bits. A straight out of the box solution is the 30k Tech Thralls. You could also use some Electo-Priests (finally a good use for these fuckers!) plus some Negavolt Cultists on 25mm bases for a good looking crazed zealot look. The new Arco-Flagellants are also good as an out of the box solution. Just be sure to trim off any obvious Imperium bits.
#Not enough Undivided for you? Good, well grab your chair and change your underwear because these fuckers are easy and relatively cheap. All you need is a Cawdor Gang and Empire Flagellants (you should have this kit anyway if you have ever touched INQ28). Most all the bits are compatible with some slight shaving, pinning and greenstuff for the Cawdor bodies (they're all snap-fit). Throw on some Chaos bits and you're good to go. ( normal flagellants with different paint and chaotic symbols on books, scrolls, skulls and flesh are fine too. If you want to give them a more futuristic taste though, put some pistols around and see the effect)
#Beastmen can be made simply by giving Gors Genestealer or IG bits.
#Potentially expensive, but the Necromunda Gangers can build very good cultists. Cawdor and Orlock especially, as the Orlocks have the most 'civilian' look, and the Cawdor gangers have a similar 'scum in rags' aesthetic of the Dark Vengeance cultist. The Orlock kit comes with enough guns to make 10 Shooty cultists off the bat (including a heavy stubber no less!), whereas two boxes of the Cawdor kit gives enough to make 10 and 10 of melee/ranged.
