Cool ideas going on in that genestealer cult. The walkers are creepy and the colors are really nice. It will be nice to see the cult assembled. I'm doing a GS cult myself, and I still think about that group you entered earlier.

Blackwolf, that has to be one of the most interesting compositions I've seen in the LPL. It's organized like a modernist painting. Beautiful!

Those Genestealers are just REPULSIVE! In a good way  ;D
Props for the tentacle brain thingy controlling those walkers. Really creepy stuff!

And the big cats are awesome too, as is the photography. The dim lighting and the overcast sky makes for a very moody, depressing atmosphere perfect for a late war scene.

WoW! Best cult I've ever seen! Love those bases and the choice of figures as well as the conversion. Plus the fleshyness of them is perfect!

Yep. Guy, you are an artist, no doubt about it. Most of us just paint miniatures. You and Frank make art. Stunning image.

Blackwolf, your photographic skill is AWESOME! (Not to mention your great paint job).

This entry "almost" look like the real deal.

The "albino" genesteales are VERY creepy (in some twisted good way).

Best wishes to both.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

The brain-powered walkers are awesome, although I can't help think that it's so typically 40K to have the exposed brain up at the top instead of slapping another piece of armour on it!

The German big cats, though... that might just be the best piece of miniature photography I've ever seen.

Great entries both, as the rest of the people said already ;) The cult is marvellous with all the conversions and the icky paint job, the tanks look great too and, yet again, almost like the real deal. Well done!
