Just running it by everyone to get opinions.
I had originally planned for a couple steel legion vet squads for my traitors troops. But with all the highlander style events going around I figured I should come up with something for a platoon.
Now my question is would it be frowned upon to run cultists as plain IG? Stat wise the only difference is 1 better armor save. And autoguns have the same stats as lasguns.

If you are running them on their own with no allied CSM detachment, then it could be possible, with a theme in place. If it isn't to do anything like that, then it is no different than proxying.

No csm allies. Heavily nurgle converted IG tanks. Just thought it would look better with the cultist making up the "grunts" of the traitor guard while the steel legion models are veterans rather than just taking 35 steel legion models with no differentiation between guardsmen and veterans

Go with the cultists they are way better models, I toyed with the same thing with actual csm as the sgts

As long as they are modeled with the right weapons there shouldn't be any problems.
Luckily for you traitor guard they are usually a rag tag assortment of professional soldiers, cultists, and tag alongs. Some entire regiments go traitor so you have a pretty wide range to work with when it comes to your model range / converting potential.

For Saturday there's no way I'll be able to convert them to lasguns. So I guess if someone has an issue with s3 ap5 guns in place of s3 ap 5 guns then they can call me on that. But for future events I'll see if I can make them have lasguns

i wouldnt bpther to make them lasguns - they look fine as is. The conversion is more the ccw pnes to the autogun ones imo - if you want to straight up swap i would rather have the baseline ccw and can trade you around 10-15 autoguns

You're fine. It's such a small detail that it'll probably be one of the smallest proxy/counts-as offenses at an event in this time of multi-sourcing, 32mm basing, blood brothering golden age of modeling.

autoguns are fine by me. A lot of people use them and other rifles from 3rd party companies. Don't worry. Aaron matched my concerns on swapping out the pistols for rifles though.
Oh, and lasguns are not apt. They ain't that good!!!

I don't know why I thought they were ap5 haha. Either way, I wouldn't field ccw/pistol as lasgun, I have 40 of each.
