I like the idea, but don't quite get how the heads will fit? You mean just replacing the helmets with turbans, so the gas masks stay in place, or remodelling the entire respirator system with greenstuff?
Also, bear in the mind that the WWI saw an end to the British fashion for beards and moustaches partly because the airtight seal a gas mask forms around the mouth and nose wouldn't work with facial hair. It might be hard to work that out for your regiment.
To be honest, I'm more interested in the fluff: do they come from a deathworld populated with vastly exaggerated Indian animals (leopards, tigers, cobras, pythons, etc)?

But he is right, they're a mashup of every WW1 nation on the western front.

This was a major problem for the revolutionary guard in the Iran-Iraq war because real muslims have big bushy beards, and Iraqi's love them some gas.
A forgeworld campaign based on the Iran-Iraq war would be the shit.

Trenches, gas, tank swarms, insane religious fanatics driving forward human waves - isn't that 40k already?

It's a lovely idea, and I think it would look very nice. Though personally, I think Cadians might work a bit better and be considerably cheaper, the DKOK stuff would look pretty darn good too. Post pics when you're done!

Sick story, Sikh!

Its more of me removing the DKOK heads altogether replacing them with the sikh heads(so no gas masks)
Originally I was going to do the Early War French with the kepi heads until I came across the sikh heads(which I didn't even know Perry made)
The reason why I'm using DKOk models is because, I got them cheap from the Gorgon infantry squads(you can find them from a *ahem* Russian seller on ebay) and I like the double breasted trench coat
But to answer your question on their origin, They are from a semi civilized world where the entire population lives overcrowded along the temperate edges of the planet's equator; go too far north and you'll be met with dry and yet frigid and icy mountain ranges where the air is thin and the giants roam
go too far south and it'll be a bunch of jungles where everything wants to eat you
The planet's main exports are, curry spices, elite turban wearing soldiers, indentured labour, potential admech tech preist disciples, exotic and animal pelts
The soldiers of the regiment train mainly in the cold and frigid north hence why their wear their great coats
