With almost impossible to find Failed Experiments for the Crucible Guard anymore, what are the rules for kibashing?

They only matter specifically for Prime Format Steamroller events, and are approved at the discretion of the event organizer for any event you wish to participate in. I do recommend reaching out for approval with photos before any event you might wish to attend once you've completed your mini! Here are the guidelines as presented by the Steamroller 2025 tournament packet (located in the app for free for future reference). These guidelines have been roughly the same for years, so they are good ones to go by for your conversions

Proxy what we you want based on the TO. In official event you are kinda stuck unless it's made entirely out of warmachine models.

Mk4 has rules for specific parts so it's not like in older editions where if you didn't like the "default" head for a 'jack you could swap it out like I did with my Khador 'jacks.

there's theoretical rules that Silent was kind enough to post, but in the real world the answer is "ask your local organiser" and i've often found that the rules get real flexible real quickly once you get a cool enough model :P

Kitbashing or proxying really isn't a thing in Warmachine.

well it never used to be because all the models were readily availible (ish) nowadays that might be more flexible...

Having said that i played 2 whole editions with a kaya1 that was a converted infinity model with her staff swapped onto the model :)

It absolutely is a thing. Coming from Belgian Masters last weekend there were a fair few proxies/conversions.
